Bards were amazing because you could design your own bard songs with a point system that was focused on how much energy maintaining the song cost/second.



As you leveled up, you unlocked customization slots for the song, and gained access to new embellishments, choruses, verses, etc.



goddamn that sounds amazing

why has no mmo ever had a design your own spells feature?

they're all still stuck in the 2004 skill tree

But the engine runs like rear end, it is all poorly balanced, laggy as hell, burdened with stupid systems, poorly explained and looks bad on top of all of that.

:swoon: my kinda game

what made eq great to me was small gains over a long period of time, i've played it since 1999 and still do, tried every single modern mmo that comes out but nothing ever captures that magic for me like original eq

i was always a solo player but i could still progress making small gains over a period of years by grinding day after day i could reach max level over a period of years

modern mmos treat max level as some kind of hurdle you have to hump over on opening weekend to get to the real endgame

I am so absolutely hype about this game. It's been a long time coming, but every time I see more of it I am more excited. I love the work they are doing here.
Edit: The pulling looks like the very best parts of what I remember from EQ turned up to 11. THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also early EQ's willingness to just let weird player strategies happen. Imagine bard swarming or shakerpaging persisting for any length of time in any other MMO, Pantheon included, or even just all the crazy things you can do with charm, fear, snares, and so on. Hell, even something like quadding is nearly impossible to find elsewhere.

They left AON clipping through doors alone for 20 years until progression server babbies cried :smith:
