Simple solution seems to be making specific tanks better at dealing with specific types of damage. Every tank is pretty good overall, but each has their own strengths. So it's optimal to change per encounter, but not really necessary.
Other than that, the claases just have to be pretty well-balanced.
yeah, i agree. without specific classes, you lose dependency. and without that, it's not really EQ. i just see it like GW2. sounds like a good idea, until you see it implemented.

I prefer the fatties. Really excited and looking forward to EQNext. But it fails EQ1. Someday, someone will recreate the EQ1 experience and the WoWtards will never understand when it is so extremely successful. EQ1 / Darksouls is the game the genre really needs.

Who needs to run, just make a hole in the ground and disappear into the "phase".
You can easily have roles with this system, why would you retards think that means it's suddenly GW2? TSW was VERY RIGID heals/dps/tank and it was as freeform as you can get. GW2 lacking roles was a stylistic choice (a dumb one), but having the ability to change classes doesn't mean there can't be tanks or healers.

They've said the Holy Trinity is still going to exist. There really hasn't been too many more details, though.
Additionally, they've said content is scaled by player numbers. You won't ever be alevel 100 warrior that can just annihilate everything by yourself. You may be able to use multi-classing by optimizing your abilities to overcome challenges, but some content with just require more people.

The only way any EQ will ever be relatively successful to the WoW clones is to convince their players to defect, so they'd de facto understand why it's good.
I hope we can get some tinkered dynamite or something for mass destruction and strip mining.
I was just reading through Tad's write up on EQN Junkies and he noted that armor will have special abilities tied to it. Makes sense considering the hover boots or whatever was in that parkour segment.

I want FFTactics' magic guns. Not bullet guns like in WoW. These guns shoot magic. Not magical bullets, magical spells. They're like staffs with a trigger and a holster. Awesome!! Quickdraw, and I shoot a gigantic ice comet at you. Best class ever.
i really hope you're right, but i'm betting it's going to be more like GW2.

I'm glad we have you giant nerds to fill in the EQ knowledge. I don't remember even a portion of it, but find it interesting.
From them saying that the game knows what you have done, it sounds like you will need a certain level of faction with different groups to get the different classes. It just makes you wonder how you can increase or decrease faction. Will it be purely quest base or will you be able to gain it by killing creatures. Most likely it will be a combination of both.
If you gotta go places to find a specific piece of armor with a specific ability to improve your character that would be cool.

Heh good point. But the WoWtards I was talking about are the minority who defend the game no matter what crap it shoots down the glory hole. Most people who play WoW just do so because the rest of the herd is there. I don't consider them to be WoWtards, just average people. WoWtards defend the game like it is a religion.
