They should replace the toolset with turtle graphics.

Yeah, they opened it up to the public way too soon IMO. Unless you enjoy building there's nothing to keep you interested. A limited version of caves will be in on Monday I guess, but combat won't be in until July. So far I've enjoyed building and learning all the convoluted voxel tricks, but I agree that simple things like the basic shape blocks still being deformed are unbelievably dumb. That SOE also deliberately decided not to give players the ability to easily make spheres / circles of any size and that it's only possible now because of a glitch discovered by a player really makes me question their competence. I was looking forward to the Workshop, but ATM that seems a lot like the Landmarks of Landmark competition in the sense that SOE seems to be just making poo poo up as they go along.

No, just grab a good spot wherever. As far as I know most goons are waiting for the game to actually like do something.

Yeah, I got bored/discouraged with building when I see people make really awesome stuff, and mine was never going to be as good. Also, because I have, like, a job and things to do, I don't get on frequently enough to keep a claim. I'm pretty much waiting for them to introduce combat and stuff to kill at this point.

It's natural to get discouraged when some of the basic building tools don't work and the community runs away with what are basically bugs in the engine. "It's on youtube" is being used as an excuse not to write any proper documentation, much less make any attempt to logically and seamlessly integrate these de facto design aspects into the tools properly.

Turning basic props that the game really needs (like a simple castle gate) into a rare item that you only have a chance of getting by watching Twitch for hours is really dumb. I also don't see how getting a gate would convince new people to pick this game up either. I think that the actual reason behind this is that even during EU primetime there are less people watching Landmark on Twitch than Euro Truck Simulator 2 or APB Reloaded, their Twitch channel is a ghost town like the game itself. Maybe SOE is hoping that by getting more of its existing playerbase watching Twitch that Landmark will become more visible there and attract new blood. Watching someone build or gather resources is seriously boring though. I tried watching a stream but turned it off with a LOL when the streamer described Landmark as Minecraft on steroids, IMO Landmark is currently more like Minecraft on synthol. Caves were the biggest update in ages and they're just repetitive prefabricated parts copy pasted together, just like every other MMO with lovely copy pasted itsnice2bnice fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jun 17, 2014 |

I have tried to stream it, and I kind of felt bad for anyone watching me dig holes and climb out of them for 2 hours. The game is fun, but after I forgot about my claim and it got sucked up, I am done for a little while.

Despite its poor progress, I spend about 10-15 minutes a week mining enough copper to keep most of my plots where they are. Except not anymore. Either they changed cave entrances or added more without mentioning it, because now my main plot was a little too close to a new cave entrance. Oh and also the game got even more choppy and crash prone with the last couple patches.

This was fun for a few hours because I think the dynamic terrain changes are cool with mining. That they aren't permanent isn't ideal imo. I think building would be more fun if it were a little more like lego and a little less like spastic play-do. I'm not big on the sculpting thing and there's not much point to getting better gear as far as I can tell so I'm done. Will be cool to see if they have this same system in EQ:N.

If I could build traps/ interactive secret passages or create slippery surfaces I would probably still be playing. The scripting for triggers was once mentioned way back but hasn't been on event roadmaps. I am bored with static sandcastle architecture.

I don't know(since I haven't played Landmark) but in EQN a lot of "secret passages" are just going to have an odd little doodad or something. Something that doesn't stand out, but if you're looking for it you'll see it. You don't interact with the doodad, you smash the wall and it crumbles away revealing a passage. You can technically do that in Landmark now from what I understand, but since there's no mechanics for wandering around busting poo poo up it doesn't really work. Also from what I understand Landmark is a shell of what it's going to be so seeing people getting burned out is pretty depressing. I wholely recognize it's bland and boring and empty right now but if it's that bad they've got a long way to go before it's to the point that got me excited for it.

What's even known about EQN, anyway? It feels like ages ago when information started showing up and it had an okay art style and terrain deformation and that was about it. Since then there's been almost zero information on classes, gameplay style, whether its sandbox or themepark, etc. It's been at least a couple years now. Aside from Hole Digging Simulator 2014, is there even a game at all?

There will be new info about EQN at SOE Live next month. They'll probably try to rebuild some hype since they also postponed major updates to Landmark until then. EQN has been in development for some years but they scrapped it all at least once. I doubt much more of EQN exists in a playable state than what you can see in Landmark ATM. What they showed at SOE Live last year just gave the impression it was further along. I'm sure they have lots of plans and they might have some of the world generated and some models animated, because there's a screenshot of Firiona Vie standing in Lavastorm located in Landmark's files (Lavastorm_Colorkey_Builder.PSD in Resources/Sky). But from comments from Landmark devs it's obvious they haven't started on things like buildings and cities to populate the world. I don't think H1Z1 is really important to EQN's development, because H1Z1 doesn't use the VoxelFarm engine or Storybricks. According to Steve Klug (head tech dude) the hardest part of Landmark and EQN is actually integrating ForgeLight with the VoxelFarm engine and Storybricks. Both of which aren't being developed by SOE itself and will be responsible for stuff like the generation and destruction of terrain, how fluids function, how voxels are drawn and how all of the fancy AI is supposed to work.

EQN is going to let you kill 10 mobs, or collect 10 items in a whole new next-gen way. Takes time to develop that poo poo mang.

I think what I really want at this point is stability and a consistent framerate. No point in romping around your enchanted piss forest if your drivers crash every 10 minutes.

What I don't get is, EQN is gonna be a fantasy game right? With fantasy graphics and fantasy castles and poo poo? So why are people making space ships and stuff when there's no chance they're ever going to be used in the game? Is anything people are making going to be used in the 'real game'? I'm very confused. But I am enjoying mining for things!

Oh, so this is just a closed beta where you get to test the tools they're using to make another game? Also sometimes if they like something you made it might get used in the other game? What?
