Does anyone have a solution to missing claims and no claim flag? Just post in the official forums I guess? edit: I see the post there, but still isn't working. Oh well. joshtothemaxx fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Feb 6, 2014 |

This alpha/beta has dragged on forever. I log on one a month it seems to find a few things different, but overall it's still barely what I would call a game.

I just logged in for the first time in about 2 or 3 months. Stuff looks about the same. Seems a lot more streamlined. Definitely a huge decrease in server activity though. I guess I should look for some caves then eh?

DeathSandwich posted:I feel like they blew their pre-release hype wad wayyy too early. They had this get hype rush about a year ago and nothing has really happened since. They really need to have brought more to the table by now if they wanted to keep the hype for the game up. Without question. I watched Soe live streams at work for hours last year I was so excited. This year I forgot live even happened (and also forget I even have EQ Landmark installed). Fake edit: I played about two hours today and two problems stick out. First, there's still a ton of visual lag. That makes the game very clunky and hard to play efficiently, which absolutely does not work for a building game or a sandbox or an mmo. Second, the world is huge, but it's huge and same looking and it doesn't encourage interaction. I saw zero people today, and that was with me actively looking in an effort to stab someone. joshtothemaxx fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Oct 7, 2014 |

Hu Fa Ted posted:Are there any redeeming qualities to this game yet? I feel like a sucker for having bought in at the founder level and not asking for a refund back when. I'm in the same boat as you. Not really. I've been actively trying to get back into this by getting more active on social media, watching twitch videos, and so on. It's still just a building simulator that really isn't all that different from what we were shown nearly two years ago. I mean, they added caves. And uh, some items. And some combat capabilities without anything to kill.

X-ing the "too early hype train" note. I too paid for alpha like a dope. I also watched all their kickin' rad videos from 2 years ago on the clock at work completely excited (much like I was for EQ2 a decade ago). Now, it's just tedious. I am so tired of this early access crap. It's neat seeing under the hood, but after a certain point I'm like "drat just let me play a complete loving game for once." Their twitch videos are pretty cool though.

So they actually successfully launched a pretty huge update. Real caves, real monsters, and all kinds of stuff. I just logged in and it feels more like a "game" now, even though it isn't that intuitive or user friendly. Anybody else still care about this?

I agree this is good. Next has been vapor ware for a year. I feel like I threw 100 bucks down a money out, for what? A poo poo sandbox. If this means a new director, good. If it means the death of next I'm ok with that. Just please don't kill eq2

I just want to see this dynamic quest/world system they were pimping hard 2 years ago. After playing Shadow of Mordor, I imagine it's possible, but I also imagine most of it is still on paper. Prove me wrong Smedley.

I said come in! posted:The advertising for this game at first was incredibly misleading. SoE did an awful job, and in some cases I would argue was unethical about what Landmark was exactly. Agreed. I remember two years ago being under the impression that Landmark would be some neat building tools with a little bit of exploration, but it was all a dick tease for the awesomeness of EQ Next. Maybe if I were lucky, a dumb house I built in Landmark would show up in EQ Next as part of Kelethin or something. Instead, we got poo poo on.

Yeah that's how I saw it. I thought it was a total dumbass pipe dream, then I played Mordor and realized that maybe, just maybe, such a crazy idea wasn't so crazy for a big rear end company like SOE.

Last night I sat down at my PC ready to play some games. I glanced across my desktop and my steam library, trying to decide what I would waste a few hours on. Then I saw it, that little yellow and blue badge. In a fit of rage, I screamed... Then clicked Everquest 2 as I wept for what could have been.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:It's sad that this game is bad and dead, I thought a minecraft style MMO with decent graphics would print money but they mismanaged it pretty bad with no real updates in the past few years after building the hype. SOE doesn't. They get sold off to Daybreak. I'm honestly really surprised we haven't heard anything about Next or Landmark of note since the Daybreak purchase... well, other than people like Georgeson being let go six months ago. You're seeing DBG really push out changes to PS2 (PS4 debut), EQ (Ragefire/Lockjaw servers), and EQ2 (timelock server coming up Tuesday). You'd think they would have plans to get EQNext revenues streams moving.

Freakazoid_ posted:Landmark is so dead, they couldn't be bothered to exploit player labor with another building competition. Do you actually log in? Are there actually still people there? I'm still so mad at how poorly designed and planning the Landmark rollout was. I have genuine empathy for those poor SOE/Daybreak people doing those Twitch streams a while back. They seemed to genuinely care on some level.

With EQ2 they finally figured it out with Faydwer, but that was way too late. I wonder if they'll just sell off the Landmark engine and we'll see lovely voxel action RPGs from some dodgy Russian company in the next year. I just want a cool, decent EQ3 damnit. poo poo I'd take a slightly modified EQ1 with kickin rad graphics and real AI.

Jimbot posted:A couple exist already. They're pretty good! I actually just re-purchased these from my local used game shop. They're really not bad at all. It's just a Diablo-style game with an EQ skin, and if you played those Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games, then you'll love them (just a re-worked engine). When they had the player/community base, SOE/Daybreak should have encouraged players to generate new content alongside contests to re-create old content. Don't do things like "Build us cool Ogre houses!" Instead, do things "Re-create Oggok from EQ1 down to the smallest detail." Seems like they knew all along how profitable EQ nostalgia was (the TLE servers gave 1 and 2 a second life) but never bothered to incorporate it into Next's grand vision.

I said come in! posted:Everquest Next is vaporware, right? At this point and once Smedley was shitcanned, I'm gonna say yes. We haven't seen anything at all since the combat demo (that fight scene in Feerott) and some demos on that AI quest system. I'm 99.9% sure Daybreak broke with that AI team, and the combat they added to Landmark is laughable (and probably meant to make Landmark a "fuller" game and so people will forget about Next).

Trebuchet King posted:Wait, CoX got sunk because Aion underperformed? How does that work? Wasn't it just because NCSoft shut down Paragon Studios? And with Paragon shutting down, so too did the CoX servers? I remember NCSoft claimed to be losing money at the time, primarily due to Aion's under-performance and the expensive production costs for Guild Wars 2. Going back and reading some news, it looks like most fans believed NCSoft's logic was that CoX players would shift over to Aion or GW2. Also, some speculated that CoX was cut because it was an acquired game from an American studio and NCSoft is a Korean company. Over time, CoX just didn't fit their aesthetic, so it got axed. I want to play Everquest III damnit.

I find this very sad, very annoying, and very unsurprising. The game was totally dead once 1) Dave G was canned, 2) that AI company building the quest engine was let go, and 3) Daybreak bought SOE. Oh well. So I guess this Amazon ad is lying to me

DeathSandwich posted:Hell, everquest 2's stats were deeply hosed to the point where after Kunark the developers just said 'gently caress it' and made only 2 stats matter per class. That being Stamina and your archetype stat (str for fighters, wis for priests, ect) because gearing crusaders/inquisitors/druids/basically any class that dipped in multiple venues of melee/casting/healing was becoming a hellish slog that meant you either were a little lovely at everything, or you were good at one specific thing and very poo poo at everything else. Man, that was a mess in EQ2, especially if you played a tweener class (for the time). Back then, Fury was supposed to be a secondary healer and a secondary ranger DPS type. That meant I had to have both high INT and high WIS, preferably a different set of gear for each that I had to switch out regularly. It was terrible, but at the same time it was kind of fun figuring out the best gear to result in beating Wizards in DPS and Wardens in HPS. Alexander DeLarge posted:Everquest 2 had a terrible launch. Terribly unoptimised and people were crashing all over the place. It wasn't quite as bad as Vanguard but initial impressions didn't do that game any favours. It also ran into the problem of "why would I switch over when we have half a decade worth of content/expansions in EQ1?" so a lot of EQ fans didn't even bother. I honestly don't remember anything bad about EQ2's launch besides the game itself was horribly unbalanced. I loved it; my brother hated it because his Shaman couldn't solo a drat thing by level 20. Either way, I loved it and wanted all my EQ mates to switch. Only about five of them did and not until Faydwer. I don't recall any crashes, but I do recall about a million crashes for Vanguard. joshtothemaxx fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Sep 23, 2016 |
