EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

There's something to that, maybe you have the description expanded? I've noticed that before and it was something in the UI hiding it.

Maybe you need a portal shard to use it? I don't remember.

I am pretty sure this is correct. I believe the options only show if you have some portal crystals crafted.

I never have a stone and port everywhere (not including my claim). The in-game command acts like you need one but you don't. Maybe to port to the hub, but that's the only time I've ever used one.

Saw this tweeted, thought it looked pretty sick and held up well at a distance unlike some of the voxel shit I've seen.

I saw the entrance of Blackburrow redone a while back and it looked fucking awesome, all the same. Its really encouraging to look at stuff like that.

The distance level of detail is something they're focusing on pretty hard over there.

Great news. I saw this mentioned at SOE Live, but it's good knowing brute working hard on it because right now it's a real immersion killer.

one thing that I think will help is when they allow us to publish our claims. It would take a while but once you do it on a claim you are pretty happy with it would make it show up correctly at very much longer ranges. The LOD is not to bad really but people doing all the really fine detail work is where the current LOD really jacks them up. It is a high priority fix because they need to get it right for eqnext as well so I expect that to improve greatly over time.

So I've been messing around in Landmark, but the game seems empty. I've seen like two people total, and no one talks.

No one talks because the chat system is still fucking garbage that spams you with log in/out messages for every player on the island whenever you're in a channel.

You have to manually "/join General" the first time or you might never interact with other players.

Agreed about the chat...plus I have seen tells not reach the person, or delayed, etc.

Huge post on combat introduction.

Cliff notes: 3 weapons right now are temporary for testing, dont require resources. All combat atm is PVP and on claims only. Death is in but no death penalty yet. Combat match types have a lot of customization.

PvP, Game Tables, and you!

And this little nugget many missed...

Speaking of SC, we've added the option for you to pay for your upkeep with Station Cash. The current cost is 10 SC per day, per claim.


BAM..here comes the money

If you're a subscriber you get 500sc per month. Wonder how the 10sc per day would stack up to just buying a bunch of copper from the market.

Has performance improved at all in the last few months? I think the game is pretty cool but the two things that curbed my enthusiasm was that it ran like shit on a pretty good system and the draw distance stuff.

Also the blueprint update says that September is pretty much dedicated to bug fixes and optimizations.

Yeah looks like they want to stop putting in new stuff for a bit and optimize; I think it's been a long time coming, but they needed something impressive for SOE Live, so they pushed it off.
