Welp. 2+ years and 1250+ pages into this thread, I get to be the one to announce that Pony Tail has been axed. Dave Georgeson laid off from Daybreak Games : EQNext Big Layoffs At EverQuest Studio Today [UPDATE]

Setting aside the style, those character models look... a bit antiquated already. I'm not sure that they're a technical step up from what the revamps they're shoving into decade-old WoW.

To make it very easy for me to quit the game before heading off to college.

So, what I get out of that is that the Storybricks stuff is all conceptual and they haven't implemented it and have no idea how they're going to do so "but trust us it will be awesome." Just like everything else.

Nobody is confused that it's an alternate universe. We are saying that that's stupid.

Huh. 1022 pages later, somebody finally figures out what the hell it is that SOE is up to.

And then telling Wing Commander fans that the essence of Wing Commander games was never being a space sim anyways so don't worry about it.

Art survey results are up:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qid...blishanalytics Looks roughly like about a 50/50 split in terms of those who like the art and those who have some level of problem with it (mostly with the character art). Obviously there are a thousand issues with the testing...

How is it possible that we're living in a world where 1 out of every 5 persons around me is a godamn filthy Fae-lover?

That may be true. However, at a certain point they will have to decide between devoting storytelling resources to EQN and EQL, the latter of which will have all sorts of mechanical impediments which will prevent simply mirroring what they throw into EQN. My point, in its entirety, is that if...

The devil are you talking about, dude? You're just taking words out of context and making an argument based on something that wasn't said. I didn't say EQL was a waste. I said demanding immersion was. They've done nothing to make me think that EQL is anymore than a map editor that you can...

Pretty clear that this team has no intention of emphasizing the classic notions of "RPG" in MMORPG. Creating an immersive "world" doesn't appear to be the goal. Rather, this is going to be a more instantly-gratifying game where players can log in for 5 minutes and have instant fun playing their...

Demanding immersion in Landmark is definitely a waste of time. Landmark isn't an RPG, it's a toolset.

I must admit that I'm paying more attention to this game than I have to any other game in years. Reading rerolled, reddit, mmorpg.com, etc. I think it's fair to say that thus far this title is extremely polarizing. Are reactions to pending titles often this split? Whether those who are not...

EQNext is going to be the most divisive/character-revealing media product since Boondock Saints.

You aren't wrong. Unfortunately, I feel pretty depleted of my energy to devote to a game that just clearly isn't being made for me. The movement demo was the last straw. I'm just looking for something a little more realistic and I had thought EQN was going to be that; it is now clear that it...

It was a mistake, but I certainly don't think it was any different from the redditors calling naysayers various insults insinuating that we are out of touch and foolish.

I wanted to reply in reddit that the pax movement demo was absolute bullshit. Then I realized that my posting privileges have been revoked, presumably for up voting Dumar. Edit: I guess it was for calling LandSeagull a shill in the same thread. I regret nothing.

A poll http://strawpoll.me/379582/r

I don't know why the argument gets simplified down to cartoony vs realistic. You can have "stylized" models that aren't Disney cartoons.

500 pages of hope, followed by 500 of despair.

Never thought I'd say it, but maybe they need to involve McQuaid and his Vision.

Surprisingly, even the reddit response is almost entirely negative to these models. If the dark elves at least don't get a revision that will be proof positive that SOE has no real use for feedback on such topics.

Sure they do. It just ain't EQ fans.

Lleau, that is an astute obervation. But to borrow your an analogy, a rockin set of tits is a rockin set of tits whether they're shown in isolation or not. They haven't shown us any rockin tits yet; only droopy dogs. So we, as titty connoisseurs are gonna say, "hey I dunno what this broad's...

I just realized that I've reached a point of maximum schadenfreude. I take great pleasure in reading the negative reactions as each new zit on this game's face is revealed. A sad fact given the excitement I had about this game on July 31.

My thoughts as well. Nothing I've seen aside from the male dwarf concepts are the least bit appealing to me. This game and the /r/etards deserve each other.

Doubt it.

Luclin and PoP were as bad as Kunark and Velious were good.

I basically only read this thread anymore because I've read 500 pages and I feel invested. Reddit is a teeming mass of criminally-retarded SOE bonerstrokers and the devs are merely exploiting the EQ name as a platform to make a game that has no rational relation to its namesake nor any appeal...

What sarcasm? This is exactly what he is saying without any sarcasm at all.

That Butler is one smug son of a bitch.

I sort of envision that as a multi-class. But in truth I'd forgotten about it and you can probably remove the "Diplomat" and insert Beastlord somewhere in there. You get the idea.

My guess is that the archetypes will count as classes themselves in the count to 40: 1. Adventurer 2. >>>>>Tradesman/Merchant 3. >>>>>Diplomat 4. Fighter 5. >>>>>Warrior 6. ----------Berserker (DPS Focus) 7. ----------Sentinel (Tank Focus) 8. ----------Champion (Support Focus) 9...

We bitch because we care.

Well don't worry, there will be 18 different types of Kerrans. It's a douchebag's paradise.

The slow release of certain information can be explained away, but I'm pretty convinced that right now they've only got 2 zones even remotely presentable and that these "40" classes exist only in a thought bubble hovering loosely above Oly Ponytail's head. I can certainly understand why they'd...

Never been a big reddit guy before this whole EQN fiasco. When the diablo3 expansion was announced the other day I decided to check out the D3 subreddit.My mistake. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Criticism, whether over the top or not, is usually rooted in some fact. An artist who can disseminate the valid points contained in criticism can use those points to refine his work and create a superior product. Nobody ever painted a better picture because they were told that it was perfect...
