Whew, I was wondering how many would honestly get what Draegan was saying. Good post. No one at SOE or anywhere else gives a flying shit about one person's vision of a game. Saying that you are a tank and every valid argument is moot (because you're awesome buddy!) doesn't change the fact that...

Chuk, Load me up! Poster, nice way to start.

I'm hoping for a mix of non-instanced dungeons as well as the instanced ones. I also want to see just how important world events like city founding really will be. Is it, 'everyone gets together for the really big dragon kill and maybe a few other mobs' or will it be much more? Will there be...

If McQuaid is selling the Hanky Edition, it needs to be strong enough to be beat off in for about 100 days, then washed, and cried into for the next decade. And it needs to be brown.

Good video and while he rambles way too much, he gets the primary point across. Can they deliver difficult content with dungeon finder? And if not, why should I be forced to play a certain way because people need the carrot stuffed into their mouth to get enjoyment? I want difficult content and...

Lol, I don't want that either. I will definitely give this game a chance but I don't want WoW in space. I don't care about how well they market. I want a fun game that offers a few things WoW did really well. Fun, responsive action. A well done environment. Solid difficulty like Vanilla. They...

I have to hope they are aiming higher just because of what you have mentioned. Levels are a good way to see incremental increases in ability but they take the place of skill too often. I'd rather be good than to be high enough of a level. Xp, same thing. I'm hoping they are allowing everyone to...

Ugh, count me out for that. Lets emulate an almost decade old game but this time....IT"S IN SPACE!!!!!!! With really cool and hip vids!!!! Sign on up treadmill kiddies!!!!

It could be a variation of group finder but just because they were added doesn't mean there shouldn't be improvement. There's plenty of people that have watched TV waiting in group finders for close to 45 minutes even in WoW. Plenty of people watching TV while they are supposed to be running...

There is some validity to that statement but EQ was a long time ago and the current system sucks. I don't think giving a bonus to manual grouping will really be that effective and I don't want extra reasons for everyone to be at max in 30 days. Group finder was supposed to bring players together...

I'm hoping that's not true in any form. I think one issue with games now is the lack of player freedom. If someone wants to grind mobs, make it at least a feasible option. Don't use an example like this while having questing give ridiculous exp. Like 5 bear ass variations will net that exact...

Broad shoulders to hold huge pads. Looks right... I honestly have reservations about any game that has to hand hold you even to make groups. If you have to hold their hands for the most basic of social functions(interacting with online people), then I don't have much hope that you are willing...

I agree they should get in but only because they are undefeated and there's literally no other top echelon team that can take their place. They have played absolutely nobody of any true relevance just like they did last year. They deserve it because they are the last team standing. That's it...

Thank you for the comedy gold! Looking at their amazingly difficult schedule, I'm glad they finally played a top team. Two ranked teams on that whole schedule and one of them barely beat the listless Razorbacks this week. Go (home) Bama!!!!!

I just don't see a SEC team getting in this year. Yeah, Mizzou and Auburn are both probably better than OSU overall. The still have that loss. It still counts. OSU may even surprise people. I still hope they get blown out by FSU. Nothing would help vindicate the playoffs more.

Woot, got my Christmas gift early!!!! Fuck you Nickie, fuck you bama fans, fuck you BCS. OSU will probably get shitkicked once again but they do deserve to be there. Undefeated is undefeated and only two teams really deserve to be there. Love me some Auburn tonight and hope to see Johnny...

That's why EQ's tank and spank bosses just won't cut it now. If you make the dungeons and bosses a certain way, it becomes more of botters just being paid players than loot magnets. That probably still will bring in money but there's little the designers can do at that point. You can still find...

There are several solutions that I prefer. One is random loot drops. If gear isn't the primary goal, then decent loot spread out over the world is just fine. A game that doesn't emphasize +gooder doesn't need a constant loot pi?ata everywhere with competitive stats. Decent stats are ok until you...

The biggest reason loot was remembered was the rarity of really good loot at that time. I'd love to see rarity come back and hope to see item progression minimized as a primary form of character improvement in the future. It's easy and noticeable, so I doubt that happens but I'm hoping that EQN...

I don't see that huge of a difference. Both games are no where near finished and people are helping to fund costs. Both require leaps of faith from the people funding the efforts.One is a big developer but that really shouldn't be such an issue since people are willing to spend thousands to help...

Exactly. I'd rather move forward than consider a couple roamers as the variety of my gaming experience. I'm all for variety but lets try and improve the model now. EQN looks like it may actually make things interesting and I'd love to see if Brad will also attempt this.

I don't know how you can say this. Killing the same guy over and over to grind for that one drop you were wanting doesn't seem like the same scene played over and over and over? I mean, when I ground the same 5-8 mobs over and over while sitting in basically the same areas, it never quite felt...

NASA, we have a problem.... In other news Rhode Island political leaders are funding research into the death of David Carradine. Was he really a sexual deviant or did he discover secrets about our Gerbil overlords and was murdered for that knowledge? Funding is in excess of 200 million but...

Hell no! ( lowers cost on ebay to $20 each). I'd never do that shit.

Usually, a person doesn't spend money on something they don't know fucking shit about. Here, I'll even make it easy for your uninformed ass. The game will be FTP(free to play, if you haven't read up on that), and you won't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Now if you want to spend money...

I didn't play SWToR and after all the shit they did wrong, I feel no loss. Same here after this game goes live. At no point will I think I've missed anything or that my life isn't better for passing this game by. This is the definition of a waste of time and money...on their part and I won't add...

Then why aren't you playing WoW? Seriously, this sentiment makes me LOL. WoW famously has an extremely easy, fast, and generic leveling curve after the original release. None of the expansions were hard and did anyone really find it hard to hit max level? You hit max level in a month MAX and...

I didn't know and thanks. That's some good news.

I cried a little after reading this. If only there was a kickstarter Heallun was starting I'd donate at least $10 to this game. It would have to be better than this pile.

I think this game will be fun but I hate that sentiment. The endgame is everything thought is one reason this genre is stale as hell.

Trion, you so cute.

I didn't say it had to be a perfect sandbox. You act like people in the real world don't have people thinking for them all the time. Pushing a political point in, Limbaugh helps people think daily as do other shills. Having a little guidance and some set rules doesn't necessarily stop a game...

I see dead people...

Miele, I always enjoy your perspective and I agree that Fantasy/SF could use more variety. I am a voracious reader so that could be a major factor. I really enjoy the new violent authors though. It is beginning to inundate the field but not as widely as the Harlequin modern fantasy...

I think that's a massive oversimplification but I miss giant open world dungeons too. Even though EQ dungeons were split up into camps fairly soon into the game. I remember seeing the dungeons and dealing with tough situations like everyone else. I also remember going through LGuk and having to...

When exactly did the unbroken MMOs come out? That's the argument right? Don't pay to build their game? Don't pay for them to release unfinished product? Is this seriously an argument being thrown around in a MMO forum? Name those MMOs released without significant issues. WoW had a lot of issues...

That's what happens when you live in a bubble. You begin to live in a delusional state that can be very difficult to get out of. Just ask Curt or Lumie.

I think they tried too hard to please too many especially WoW players. Rifts never did anything they really promised from beta or onward. It was just a generic public quest system. Leveling was the same WoW type leveling except more generic. Same with PvP. The classes were watered down...

I thought the FTP set up would send these people to another thread alone. Isn't that the bane of society already?

That's the main point. Content we can make for ourselves. It doesn't have to fit what everyone likes especially here. I can play some old school but I also like the thought of getting my creative juices flowing and this game looks to be one way to do that. It's going to be interesting and that's...
