Ah the SWG crafting system such a marvel to behold can not for life of me why this wasn't copied wholesale in every other game. Q: What crafting like A: Like SWG pre Cu next question.After watching that crafting video, very depressed. Limited info but what was shown, looks to be the same old standard crap. Alter idea is cool. Wait and see, but not impressed on the glimpse of what was shown. Was hoping for more like SWG with materials being quality based to affect the item completion and stat differences. No use in a crafting system if everyone can grind out the same stat items!
At least with quality material stat based system, you can keep the recipes manageable and yet have a wide variety items in the world. Only the best materials will give the best stats. Its not like they would be pulling from thin air, SOE owns the coding and development already.
I don't think they've ever claimed it's going to be like EQ. They've been saying they want to do new stuff with this game.EQN, not true EQ successor? The focus on building and economy is great but no raiding and armor progression etc, skeptical.

You SHOULD be skeptical. Judge what we make once you've played it. We're tired of the same old game for 15 years. We want to make something new. When we do this right it's going to change online gaming. I'm super excited.
Ughh. If this is true then my interest in EQN just took a critical hit. I'm concerned that the game is going to make a lot of concessions to accommodate PS4; ui, psn integration, player demographics. I'd like to be proven wrong here though. I don't know, maybe they can overcome all of that, but I'm a bit more hesitant knowing this.yes. We will absolutely be bringing EQN to the Playstation 4!
They are doing it with all their new games.Ughh. If this is true then my interest in EQN just took a critical hit.

Most MMO's on the horizon are releasing console versions. They've been saying that would be the future for years. Especially Smed.They are doing it with all their new games.
Used to feel this way also , and am very much still a hardcore PC guy , but after seeing FFXIV ARR I wouldn't mind it if they skewed it heavily towards the PC and console had to make concessions instead of other way around. Basically it was clear playing FFXIV ARR on the PC was much better not only in graphics but control wise etc, but if you wanted to play it on the PS3 you could. I wouldn't mind the option to occasionally hop on the PS4 to run around a bit , but keep it heavily geared toward the PC still.Ughh. If this is true then my interest in EQN just took a critical hit.

Yeah no Doubt as now there just low power AMD quad core with ATI 7870's on x86 architecture the only difference is a shitty way to interface with it.Most MMO's on the horizon are releasing console versions. They've been saying that would be the future for years. Especially Smed.
...and thats fine. I'm just not sure if I'm on board.They are doing it with all their new games.
