Perhaps EQNext is going in the right direction..

Should the Ratonga be in EverQuest Next?

Ratonga are part of EverQuest. Let them in! - 46.1%


All hope lost

Why do people not comprehend 'realistic' as meaning "realistic for a high fantasy World"?

Do you mean more realistic like EQ or some book you read? If you are strictly talking about the graphics, I understand, I don't like the cartoony look myself.

the fact they are asking such a STUPID question made me realize EQnext is dead before it even started. I mean guns and ninjas?Do you really need to ask the community?

IS IT NOT FUCKING OBVIOUS THESE THINGS DONT BELONG IN EQ!? HOW FUCKED UP DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT IT LET ALONE POST IT AS A SERIOUS QUESTION?!

WTF are these people smoking? This is just ridiculous! I lost all my hopes. Nothing more needs to be added. This one thing alone proves to me they have NO FUCKING IDEA what they are doing!

...and the design? ANOTHER FUCKIN CARTOON BULLSHIT WITH armor pieces bigger than a fucking bus. Seriously....all these people in EQnext creative team need to pull their giant heads out of their giant asses. This is just baaaad......so baaaad

I am glad you got that off your chest. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But I agree totally with you. DOA.

I would have thought it was reasonably obvious Sony is interested in hitting mass market with EQN, not maintaining some level of faithfulness to past iterations or holding to any standard of creative integrity.

Thank god someone caught that. Although, I already lost hope when I saw the graphics engine.

Here's another one that boggled me.

"Should female dwarves have beards or not?"

This is a fucking cosmetic choice. Why Does this need to be asked? Who the fuck is responsible for these questions?

so in your high fantasy world, if I'm getting this right, creatures can't leap 30ft, but they can rain comets down from the sky... they can't spin extremely fast and become a whirlwind of bladed steel, yet they can be resurrected thousands of times, become invisible, tele-fucking-port across the world, and cast spells that increase their movement speed (ever seen spirit of cheetah or whatever).

Also, the combat here is highly unrealistic as it's slow as balls.

I know you're just trolling, but seriously, look up the definition of High Fantasy, and then read LoTR and all the Conan stories, and then any other works that essentially borrow from and extend those universes, and then let's continue this silly conversation. Though I'm really hoping that by then you will understand how far away from the point your arguments are.

Definition: High fantasy or epic fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy that is set in invented or parallel worlds.

Seems to me that high fantasy can be just about anything. I think his post made a lot of sense. I agreed with him.

The thing about that question is it's kind of silly how they worded it.

What do Ninjas and guns have to do with one another?

Ninjas I could see working in a high fantasy setting, in a way. Guns not so much.

I just hope and pray they do three things:

Make some classes much better at soloing and some much better with groups

and

Keep the difficulty level higher than the current trend of MMO's

and

no P2W, please.

I'm not a super fan of the graphics, but what I find so appealing about classic graphics are the convincing animations, and that seems to be what they're focusing on for EQN, which I like.

[skipdog]

Honestly, my only hope for this game is contested mobs and having many classes that are forced to group. If everybody can solo, everybody will solo and then the game is shit.
