EQ Never

They've said that they can prevent or restrict damage. This really opens up the idea of sieges, etc. A sword can't destroy a wall, but a catapult could, etc.

There's lots of potential for PvP destruction areas, but I don't see them going full on hardcore sandbox. I do hope they allow more freedom on special rules servers, though.

His posts take up like half a page every other page, it adds up.

I hope one of the asian prostitutes tad had in his room woke him up in time to attend the panel thats going on right now to report in some deets.

you guys want pvp in a game with destructible environments?

FFS, you think knockbacks are annoying? what do you think anything that changes the environment will do? even in small scale, it would be so disruptive to gameplay. large scale, what happens when 20 people cast spell "x" that digs a 20ft trench?

No get your UO shit out of my EQ.

I'm a bit confused on what benefits destructible environments bring to the table, exactly. How does that work in an MMO world if they keep healing themselves? Is this instancing 2.0? I really could give two fucks about destroying a bridge if it comes back in an hour.

Modern devs seem totally clueless.

I THINK WE FILL IT WITH THE FROZEN CORPSES OF OUR FALLEN COMRADES AND MAKE A BRIDGE WITH WHICH TO PLACE COCK FIRMLY IN ROMAN ASS.

Iannis, I will follow you across Norrath.

Tiered zones. If you don't think that sounds cool, then just go play Project 1999 to your heart's content.

I really didn't like the Kerran in screenshots, but once I watched the video of him moving around it looked a ton better.

Okay, I'll admit it. Interest piqued.

I think if only a small percentage of people could achieve the unlocking/finding of spells such as the highest % slow, ice comet, res, hp buff, haste, etc., then there is a chance to establish some character identity.

Hey, there's Pheld, the shaman I heard has 75% slow. There's Herzog, the warrior with a 30 second defensive, there's Cerb, the chanter with a 1 minute mex etc.

Obviously elitism has and always will be the carrot on the stick, so I think that's how it'll work - making meaningful abilities stand out in terms of functionality.

Sure, but does that mean zones have different discrete 'states'? I've watched all the videos, and thus far there's nothing concrete but hype train bs.

So if Nektulos is in tiered state 4, does that mean the halfling outpost has invaded Neriak, and it won't be reset to tiered state 1 until tomorrow morning?

I like the idea, but if there are in fact discrete states that sorta loop back around, then the tech just isn't there to be useful yet.

No, I mean like - layers and layers of zones.






I don't think such an idea comes about without world destruction.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Iannis again.

Edit: Hey, what the fuck? I've never given him rep before.

Yah like what's stopping a tier 1 guy from just following a tier 5 into the hole to nagafen that he just dug? I'm sure there's a system, but I wonder what it is. Technically, if you could do that, then you could 'twink' certain spells or abilities.

Like say assisting on a fire giant clear gives you access to ultimate Mage DS class, then you can walk around with a gnarly DS to wipe out the lower tier stuff

I read the ebook they put on their site. It was a mediocre read. Here is a quick summary if anyone is interested in what it's about but doesn't want to read the whole thing:

Based on some comments, they're fine with there being consequences for bad choices.

Build giant penises as well?

If it's just in the EverQuest Landmark world/server, I don't really give a shit. It's basically just SoE Minecraft.
