So about 15 mins loading cargo, 15-30 mins flying to dest., 15mins unloading... fantastic gameplay!!! This right here is why the game will fail for the general gaming crowd if its not streamlined before release. Only crazy fanboys will do this pointless shit over and over and still defend it...

You only have to do the linear story in Shadowlands once. After your first "playthrough" all your alts can pick and choose which zones they want to level from the beginning, no set order then. Also i believe worldquests are unlocked from the start for alts.

So, a question for the people playing. Is the graphics update already active in the "unchained"-version? If yes, is everything updated (all zones) or just specific zones?

For time dilation to kick in and stay through a fight you need a lot of people fighting. Atleast high triple digit i guess. TD can happen with less people while jumping into a system or warping on grid, but this will usually resolve pretty fast. The new 64 bit client also helps to decouple real...

I dont think Mike leaving has any effect on GW2. He handed off the producer role several years ago, and as CEO wasnt involved in the day to day stuff of GW2 development/story. After the layoffs and the cancellation of their other games in development he probably didnt see any place for him at...

I guess the did it becaus PAX West is going on this weekend in Seattle also, so the wanted to generate some additional "hype" for GW2... show was ok, new stuff (LS5) is more lore / casual oriented i guess. We will see how much story content they can add when they stay on a 3 month release...

This whole mess sounds exactly like EQ Next/EQ Landmark. We give you X to help us test stuff while we build the real MMO in the background.. oh and we have a little shop for cosmetics n stuff.. give us more money plz!!.. we will use everything to make the MMO bigger and better!!! 50/50 chance...

Exploration/scanning can be quite lucrative, if you go to the "right" 0.0 and do relic sites specifically. The good ones (best loot drops) are in space where sansha rats are (providence/catch/stain), they drop up to about 100 mil ISK per site. Serpentis relic sites are the second best, try in...

Even MS&Titans are kinda ok if there would be no FAX (capital remote repair ships). Without those a lot more caps would die and large battles would be a real slaughter were even the losing side could kill stuff for a time. They should just remove the FAX ships class (will not happen sadly). The...

Player pop is stagnating, but numbers are still healthy. I think 2019 will be a deciding year for EVE, if CCP manages to release interesting new content in addition to fixing basic problems then EVE can be healthy for a long time. If they start down the "monetize to the MAX, nothing else...

Until now nothing really changed. They are still doing monthly bigger patches with small fixes in between. Events are also still going on with skins&skill training accelerators as rewards. Biggest problem for CCP right now is the chat/channel system they reworked last year. Its still not really...

Yeah.. so lets do something new and never seen before/bleeding edge new tech ... lets call it "EQ Next"... what could go wrong? ;) Daybreak should do a EQ Battle Royale and EQ Mobile, then use the money they get from that to do a real EQ3 with a modern engine, maybe it will work. Cant be worse...

And Epic made a cool 3 BILLION with Fortnite in 2018... there simply is no reason at all to pump money into old MMOs.. better do a fucking "Battle Royale" (or just make 10) and hope for some small percentage of what Epic makes...

Well i think ESO is exactly that kind of MMO. You can wander aimlessly for hours and find new stuff everywhere (quests, little dungeons, etc.). With level scaling you can basically go anywhere and do any quest you like. Endgame will probably be "grinding" for gear/points, but as a casual that...

There are 1.85 MILLION backers right now according to the RSI website. If this fails and does not release i guess chances are pretty high that there are some backers who *desperately* want to personally tell CR what they think about that....

Sooo... apparently alpha 3.0 got delayed once again. The "VIP tester group" should have gotten access to 3.0 this week or next week, now its delayed by at least 2-3 weeks. Gamescon/Citizencon will be really interesting this year ;)

I downloaded the latest version on their website (2.6.3) and played it a bit. Average buggy techdemo is probably closest to what i would say about it. Its more or less a year old now, no real development in between (that you can play). And yes, running around for 5 minutes before you can enter a...

EvE is finally pulling the plug on WIS (walking in stations) with completely removing the captains quarters from the client. They realized some years ago that its a second complete game they wanted to add to EvE and it is simply too expensive for CCP, so they stopped trying. Thats the same...

Well he used p2w methods, but he can still hate them. And if he is really that rich to fund the game himself with 30 million $, those 40$ for thunderstruck are more like 1$ for "normal" people to him... But anything could happen, IF they release the game and if they are not as successful as they...

So, new 1.75mio stretchgoal revealed. The Underrealm (expansive underground areas, underrealm node development, underrealm flora&fauna). I immediately was thinking about going underground with a dwarf char looking for riches and killing stuff. Couldnt help myself and pledged 140$. Dont...

He funds the game more or less himself (the 30mil)? Kickstarter money is on top of that? He is a "true" MMO gamer/enthusiast and is quite good with money (selfmade multi-millionaire)? He hates p2w? Sounds like a dream come true for MMO gamers. Lets see if he really knows what he is doing and if...

Gratz to them for funding, will still wait to see how the campaign goes and what details we will get. Combat demo? What about PvE endgame (are there dungeons/raids)? Class details? So little real info right now. At least they have an early alpha with most game systems already running (at least...

After watching the video it sounds good, but also very complex and hard to tune/get right. Especially the node system with regional markets and pvp stuff, having 11 years of EVE experience tells me the players will fuck up those systems really badly ;)

Not a great KS campaign right now, very basic information only. Will wait and watch what they add to the KS over the next weeks, 750k $ seem easily reachable. 150k after 15min already pledged...

Amazon probably told him to pay back the Heros Song money. Would have been extremely bad press if they just folded and told everyone "sorry the money is gone, fuck off" and then some weeks later basically the whole team starts a new studio at Amazon...

EQ1/2 (really the whole of SOE/DBG games all taken together) are fucking nothing compared to WOW if you look at the subscribers/money made over game lifetime. EQ was never really big if you look at the money but it had a big influence on the MMO genre.

So, first 3 things about this new fantastic project they announce are Amazon cloud usage + Twitch integration + CEO Smed. Yeah right, now im really really hyped ;)

How about H1Z1: EQ reskin Edition?

Yeah, firing the top EQN people + Smed and killing the whole project (including Landmark) was 100% the right thing to do. 10 years lost for the EQ franchise... EQ3/N the biggest fuckup in MMO history.

They should at least bundle a free download code for Mario Kart 8 with every Switch. Sure they loose some money, but Mario Kart is more or less a port from the WiiU so nothing really new. The price would look much better that way...

Thanks for posting Kylotan. So I wonder, back in autum 2015 there was a big internal playtest, how far along was the game then? Did anything really work or was it just bare bones and all the people playing that version realized EQN was never going to release?

They should had finished & released the EQ3 Version that was before EQN. A traditional MMO with the EQ-IP using a relatively modern engine (the PlanetSide2 engine). No "WOW killer", but would make them good money right now. But Smed wanted to get in on the Minecraft-craze (voxels/fully...

Was there anyone at SOE with any real plan at all regarding EQ3/Next? From Mughals description it sounds like total chaos. Smed seems to be completely incompetent at doing his job, no wonder Heros Song was cancelled. Please Smed, dont try to "manage" another gaming related company, ever.

Nice article and a various mentions of rerolled/foh-forum posts: EQ2Wire » Closing the Book on EverQuest Next and Landmark

Game is dead: Smed has canceled Hero’s Song, offers everyone refunds

Have you done the "planetouched wilds" zone? It was introduced last year and is free to play. Its a big lvl65 zone if you have chars at max. Lvl 1-65 content is free so i dont see what costs you are referring to. You dont need to buy the extra souls or the primalist...

Last Xpac was always free to play. You had to pay for some additional souls, earring-slots and some gear unlocks. They changed earrings&gear unlocks to also be available for ingame currency so you dont need to buy them with real money any more. Anyway, new Xpac (Starfall Prophecy) is out now...

Reading that internal schedule report is crazy... basically nothing is even remotely finished. I guess even end of 2018 is really optimistic for a beta version of the "mmo-like" full game.

Starfall Prophecy Open Beta starts next week, for anyone interested: Starfall Prophecy Beta starts October 13th!

Just watched the BlueRay UltimateEdition (182mins) and think it was a great movie. For me it is one of the few (action)movies where the story is really told in depth, not just shit blowing up followed by silly jokes followed by more shit blowing up (which can also be fun). I am not really into...
