Not sure it's quite as black and white as you make it out to be. Go look at combat in TBC Heroics...what you did definitely mattered. They've moved away from that design, but the combat really hasn't changed as much as how dungeons and mobs work. It's completely possible to have action combat, but still make your moves matter. Additionally, since there appears to 'telegraphing' of enemy abilities, not only does movement become much more important, but they can increase the requirements for reactionary abilities.
I see the Vision now.
Say your and High elf warrior and your level 50 or 60 whatever cap is to start, and you have invested a lot of time into your character, achivements etc, but now Due to the constant class balance patches that MMO's have now Warriors are nerfed to hell etc.
So normally you would be forced to either not play that character for while anymore due the nerf, Now instead of doing that you can just switch classes you keep your name, crafting level etc,race, achivements but now by just unlocking 2500 station cash you can change classes and bam you are now a level 50 or 60 rogue, monk,wizard or whatever.
Due to this if your main or co main, alt gets its class nerfed or you just don't like that class anymore, you don't have to either delete the character or stop playing it or reroll cause for low price of 2500 to 3500 station cash you can switch classes now.
Cheers.

When you die you become a pixie and automatically fly back to the spot where you died. Then the pixie explodes and kills everything in a 1 mile radius, and the ground even smashes. And then you respawn in the crater with a powerful buff to help you not die again.

I'll read back through the thread later, but hearing there'll be CC roles leaves a little hope for individual mobs being strong as opposed to the AOE fest they showed at the reveal. Still wanting to know how loot will work (named mobs or shit like defiant armor that drops off everything, or currency based loot ala GW2's karma events)
not even remotely true. Once you have raid gear, yes every dungeon will fall before you, however heroics in blue gear require you to know how to play your class in order to get through it. Healer skill, tank skill, and dps skill all matter.

The world builder will be fun to tinker around with and may build some hype, but aside from that they clearly don't have much yet. Wake me up in a couple years when EQN is actually ready for release. Unless the game turns out to play exactly the way it LOOKS as of now... actiony, spammy combat, with cartoon models / armor / mobs tailored for ADD WoW kids... then don't wake me for it.
My only hope is that there will be contests to create some sick (non-instanced) dungeon recreations that would eventually be picked to go into the actual game. Guk, Sebilis, etc. recreated by players could be the best way to get proper dungeons.

i like the graphics but hate the art style. it also looks like mobs die in one hit which is very disappointing.
Does anyone else think they would do this as much as was being sarcastic could this happen lol?

Wife "saw that" too - but to me it's just the normal "American Anime" thing like Disney movies and the like do with somewhat exaggerated features to convey emotion better on a small screen. Her and Elizabeth look nothing alike to me besides the lips/eyes.
I liked what I saw besides the combat style - which is a shame since it's such a key part - I like gaming where I don't feel like I have to AFK to sip a beverage when it comes to something like an MMO where there's no "breaks" between rounds or otherwise. Telling my group "Hey, hold up a minute" because I want to drink my tea (Yea, I drink tea often - fuck off if you hate on tea drinkers) or nibble on some desk friendly snacks or whatever is bothersome to me. I'm one of those types that would play EQ1 and cook and eat all without substantial breaks in gameplay since I've got the office immediately next to the kitchen. (Living room on the house plans but we "officified" it for the wife and I)
I am in same boat, the Tech demo of the worlds looked great but hated the Cartoony Art style but knew the cartoony character models were coming so was going to try to look past it.
Dude we get it you're disappointed but give it a fucking rest. Go do something else for a while and come back when you calm down. Nobody wants to read this shit post after post after post. I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of the stuff we saw in that reveal too. It wasn't what I was expecting but I'm waiting until we learn more cause they honestly didn't really tell us very much.
