Already clarified and tweeted about regretting those words because SWG fans got all bent out of shape. It's going to be FPS-like but based on a massive sandbox. It's going to be all post apocalyptic and rebuilding the world is going to play a big role. There was even a screen or two he tweeted, but it didn't show much.
Yet another game Merlin will call absolute garbage but never play like the dumb fuck he is.
FPS like has me completely turned off, but if they were able to duplicate the SWG crafting and non-combat systems I would be interested.
Sounds neat. I will start reading up... If the game has decent group mechanics in mind when built, I imagine user built content could be great stuff.
There will be kids in Africa who will love their "Pantheon got Kickstarter funded!!" t-shirts.
I hope you're right about that otherwise they'll be missing a big opportunity. I don't really trust them to figure that out off the bat but then again, I don't think the whole no-trinity thing is going to be worth a shit either but I'm willing to see if they can come up with something interesting.
It is pretty clear from the landmark thread that anything difficult in eqn will be immediately nerfed to easy mode as soon as two people complain. I would set your expectations low.
and so the interest is already damaged, no trinity ? Is there some group mechanic that takes its place or its it just barfight mode ?
GW already fucked it up so I think Sony will learn from those mistakes. No trinity doesn't mean there can't be trinity play. It just means there will be options within the group of who is what. How they work it. What can be done. Personally, I think trinity will be the main grouping set up. Top players and a few others may experiment with other options.
Yes, i guess what I like the idea of is just players depending on players in more than a you take this guy, i take that guy mode. Trinity or other doesn't really matter.
It does suck to a point but they aren't leaving anyone out of grouping options at least. This gives everyone a reason to group hopefully. As Tad mentions, this is an area they could still fuck up massively but they've done pretty well so far with EQL. This is also their best chance to give Blizzard a black eye while basking in the praises of the masses(lol). I'm going to stay hopeful just because the options are so few for what they are attempting.
Oh stop, not saying the latter might not happen in Next but nothing in landmark gives any indication of that, since the changes there have been to remove needless tediousness not "Challenge".
I'm keep thinking of trying Red out but I always talk myself out of it when I see the population numbers. How is red?
