    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Nice idea with the sundial. Does it work well with the shading? I think the building tools will continue to get smarter/more polished and the experience will get less frustrating over time, but these voxels are just an unruly bunch of fuckers sometimes. I think it'll always be a tough game...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This got interesting in a hurry. Bummer on the name, I had ten bucks on "Vanguard Next." This game is realistically 4+ years away from an RC, yea? Honest question. Best of luck with your project Mr. McQuaid.

    Very interested in this game and intend to check out the livestream today, but I still haven't pulled the trigger on alpha...might end up waiting until beta...we'll see. I recently opted to cash out on a vacation in March instead of a founder's pack. Might still grab one of the alpha packs...

    Alright I'll take your word for it this time. I thought everybody has at least one GoPro strapped to them at all times these days. Already out sledding with an 18 inch base? I like the cut of your jib. Best of luck continuing to steer clear of the snow snakes. Sorry for the thread hijack...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Pretty sure their train of thought is that they simply can't create enough content by themselves to keep up with consumption. The current content cycle just isn't sustainable in the long run anymore. If you're interested in some of the ideas that are behind their approach,listen to this. I...

    Summary: We really have no idea how we're gonna do this yet. Thank goodness it's fun to build shit, cause everything else really does appear to be ideas on napkins right now.

    Sooo if I build junk in one of these pre-release stages of the game, am I gonna be able to store templates into a player studio account that will stick around whenever this shit finally goes gold? This is the sixty-four thousand dollar question, for me at least. I could not care less about a...

    Things are progressing steadily here in Voxel training camp. Fortress designs continue to get sharper and more elaborate. Looking forward to getting my hands on some more intelligent tools to work with. Some of the functionality that Cepero has demonstrated so far looks really nice. Hook me...

    Having now had the opportunity to dump a few hours into voxelcrafting, if the popularity of Minecraft is any indication, I expect Sony will make a mint off of this game. I've never played Minecraft and don't intend to, but I had a pretty decent collection of legos when I was little, so I'm...

    The whole Denial of Service thing is great. I kinda suspect that Jeff realizes it gets a rise out of the crowd and basically trolls us with it. If that is in fact the case, then well done sir. It's funny. The 'no inconveniences' direction they seem to be heading with many aspects of the...

    Perhaps I'm a little biased from reading all the venom in this thread but I do think the marketing/pr strategy seems kinda wacky and inept. Kinda feels like this project wasn't truly ready for a reveal but they had to start pushingsomethingout after years of development. Some execs at Sony...

    I typically like to play what's regarded as a 'chaotic neutral' or 'unaligned' character in your standard DnD framework. It should be interesting to try and walk that line in EQN. Hopefully that will be a viable way to operate in this game. I guess there's no reason to believe otherwise at...

    It's clearly important to keep as much under wraps as possible, so that the element of discovery isn't completely ruined when the game releases. Really makes you wonder how much work is left tho. So much hype leading up to the Vegas event...now nearly a month later and we've still only seen...

    I honestly never saw this minequest wrinkle coming before they revealed it in Vegas. Totally came out of left field for me. It seems like it really does make a lot of sense tho, and could turn out to be a pretty slick move for them. Potentially helps them generate some decent content and...

    I feel like the measuring of others based solely on appearance will certainly still exist to some degree, but like much of the stuff that's old hat, they are moving away from it and creating a new experience, which is not necessarily a bad thing after many years of the same old shit. I think...

    I'm guessing that one of the ways they aim to solve this problem of players getting to max whatever and consuming all the content is with the procedural generation and fancy schmancy artificial intelligence. For example: A group is out in the forest fighting mobs, protecting the lumberjacks...

    Yep, /\ that. It also seems like it would be a significant immersion breaker to be wearing a robe and waving a wand around one second, then be all armored up and swinging a giant hammer the next. I get that it's fantasy but there's gotta be some element of realism attached to it, right...

    The multi-classing is far and away the most worrisome feature for me personally. I've been warming up to the idea that any character can learn the skills and abilities of their choosing and mix them together, but the ability to "just change on the fly" still sounds pretty terrible. Really...
