EQ Never

When did anyone say end of 2015? Officially there is no date. Holiday 2016; mark it.

Alpha comes out SOE 2015 game launches one year later.

Matrix plug in adapter comes out in 2017 and we all upload our minds into the "Sony Online Family" by 2020 forgoing our corporeal forms.

First world Society collapses by 2035.

I'm fine with this. As long as I can be muscular in the matrix.

Another reason why we need to get rid of fucking daylight savings time. (Personal crusade)

Around jan/feb of last year couple peeps were saying 2015 is when they were aiming, doesnt mean its when it will come out. Ofcourse its not official, even the devs cant say with 100% certainty.

Depends on how much StationCash you can farm in Sony's online bitcoin mines.

Thats how he got strong, bruh. To his surprise though, the traits morphed him into a Dwarf.

I have to agree with Drae on this ~ This game, at its earliest, may be released late into the holiday season of 2016 but will most likely be released into 2017. Like someone else said, they havent had certain elements of Voxels figured out for that long and being preemptive in design would just be foolish. Water and Lava aspects were just implemented. That actual act of implementing that stuff isnt basic, but in terms of the overall completion of the game? Thats basic mechanics. Much less, the game would be really barren in terms of what they have discussed so far. Either way - I hope we find out some juicy shit tomorrow.

Based on what?

You guys are tossing some far off dates. I'm thinking much sooner.

All depends what they show at SOE live. Who knows... Maybe they have a ton of NPCs, weapons, armor etc all modelled. Maybe the animations are super far along. Maybe abilities are fleshed out. Maybe the world is already complete and is just waiting for buildings etc.

Pretty wishful thinking of you ask me.

They can't start on abilities yet as there is no combat system yet to build them around. The best I can see them doing is World building and modeling items at this point.

You think they don't have internal builds with combat working already? They're going to show it off at SOE Live. Can't do that if it doesn't exist.

Not to mention, creating & balancing abilities is more about spreadsheet work than it is about actual in-game performance.

I keep forgetting they've been working on it for a long time.

We'll see.

I'm kinda thinking they are gonna hand out Beta spots for EQN this weekend.

Summer 2015 too early for Beta guesses?

The question is how far along is Storybricks? Have they worked it into the game effectively? Is it even a finished product that is usable? Have they started writing content into it? It's gonna be a massive undertaking, and will dictate when we see anything close to playable.

Hopefully answers this weekend.

The whole point of Storybricks is that you don't write content for it, you just set character motivations etc and they create the content themselves.

If there is no NPC dialogue in this game they might as well scrap development now.
