EverQuest Next: Landmark

[a_gnoll_pup]

I gave Landmark a second try now that i'm getting over the whole initial shock of it not being EverQuest.

I have to say what *is* there is slowly starting to impress me. The crafting progression and randomly generated items from crafting is kind of cool. Each item has a color, and those colors have stat ranges. So, you can craft a legendary pickaxe that has randomized stats. Not every pick is created equally. You have a min/max range on these crafted items. And then you have the minecraft minigame on top of pick progression.

I don't think I gave this game a fair enough shot. I think i'll keep playing into it to see where it goes. I never doubted it had potential, it's just kind of slow to impress me like a new Nine Inch Nails album. At first, you're like, 'wtf is reznor doing?' then you're like 'oh this is kind of cool' and then you listen to it on repeat for the rest of the day.

Kind of like that.
