I hope you realize that your cries of desperation are aimed at a game with developers avidly pushing active design choices targeted at a very wide audience.
They're trying to push this IP to a broader more casual target. Purely for business reasons.
For fucks sake butler straight up said "No one plays ugly races, so we're not going to waste our time on that for business reasons"
They don't realize that "Ugly" is what made this IP great.
This game is just general chat copy paste league of legends terarria moon shoes inflatable castle at this point.
I'll join you in cries of desperation when they announce FFA PVP and Player housing destructability and player looting. (topics of which haven't even been farted out of butlers ass-face)
Until then, please for the love of god, don't place a messiah expectation on ponytail and butler. The best those guys have done for the genre are salvaging Planetside 1 and Gaia Online...

Great post. The proof will indeed be in the pudding. Smed backpedals quite well and having an option but never using said option doesn't make SOE any money. They know exactly which races were popular and therefore profitable.

I don't think its fair to say I'm placing "messiah expectations" on EQNext. But my point stands that this is likely the last game we'll see for quite some time to break the WoW mold if it is a giant fucking flop. I am desperate for this game to not blow chunks, nothing beyond that. It just needs to see at least mediocre success. I say this because I want more development houses, including Blizzard, to try for something outside of the current mold we're stuck in. I want to see the MMO genre evolve and become a place where there's more than a handful of WoW clones and WoW to choose from as games with decent population. I think EQNext has a decent chance at that, as well, for many of the reasons you stated. Hell, if PvP feels like dota or LoL then thats likely a wonderful thing (I don't personally play them, but the popularity is there for a reason). If PvE can capture that magic point between twitchy and strategic I'll fucking take a load of ponytail cum in my mouth. I doubt seriously if it'll be the game for me from some of the decisions they've made but it sounds like its got a decent chance at success.

Nothing that I am aware of from a major studio, but I am waiting cautiously to see how both Camelot Unchained and Eternal Crusade develop.

I wanted to hate but I actually kinda like the look and theme of EQN Ogre. Mixed feels. Definitely looks better than the early EQN concept.
That looks like WOWIts kind of an improvement, they plumped em up a bit. But still...

Sorry bro. A garbage game with garbage graphics. I have no idea what your so excited about. EQN is a cross between GW2 and WOW. Sony is trying to do this "shotgun" style and make every 14 year old in the world happy. What exactly is so fucking terrific about what you have seen and heard so far?
I feel like the builds people are putting out are getting better with each workshop, but I think it has a lot to do with available textures. I don't think the dark elf builds worked very well with what's available, but I'm already seeing some really nice ogre structures.

Honestly man, I have zero desire to convince you otherwise.
I don't know if EQN will live up to the hype or not. One thing I do know though, is it will be better without you playing it.
