EQNext Discussion

[Ellouelle]

i like all the nerds over here getting really mad over how they have cartoony graphics. like, really? you all realize that that's a logistics thing, right? don't be retarded. they're cartoony because it's easy to make a decent art direction with cartoons without having ridiculous graphical requirements that only the most dedicated players will be able to meet up with.

I don't think that the art looks like wow at all. If anything you could make a more valid comparison to say that the graphics look like borderlands minus the cel shading.

if u want to make a complaint about EQN, make it one that isn't completely retarded. tony the tiger was retarded i agree but honestly it's not game breaking to me.

Stopped reading here, because no offense, but it shows you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're aggressive about it to boot.

Major disappointment for me too even though this is really alpha stuff and much is going to change.

The world looks superb, and the editor Landmark thing is absolutely great for the minecraft crowd/creative players - and thank god it's separate from the real game because frankly the Foundry of Neverwinter, mehhh.

Graphics are way too cartoonish, the human looks cool but the tiger is absolutely catastrophic and the armors are 200% WoW even worse. For a game trying to be innovating and surprising, the models and armors sure aren't -_-

Combat while surely in it's infant stages look absolutely catastrophic as well, I hope that tiger was lvl 60 in a lvl 5 area because it's plain stupid as it is there...

Not a fan at all of the no levels/classes idea either. It's not a bad idea, but doesn't fit EQ imo. If they wanted to go that route, should've done UO next, not EQ next.

And I'm sorry but this business model doesn't cut it for me, as it didn't in Neverwinter - I hated it (17 different currencies and stuff so annoying). It's the same story here, games with good background (EQ/D&D) but totally ruined with this modern F2P+cash shop business model just bringing in stupid concepts for you to dish out money and often too close to P2W elements.

Like I said at the beginning of my post, we're merely in alpha and much of what we dislike from what we saw might change, but from what I saw there I think I'd skip the game entirely. I think the game has potential, but targetting a niche market, not the mass-market - i.e. Minecraft players longing for their game with WoW graphics? Dunno..

+1 exactly my thoughts

Sadly i dont think that is the niche market anymore. WE are the niche market and what you described is what the mass of younger kids want to play and it will just get worse in the future.

[Kimmie]

Lol, man. Should have just listened to posts and not watched the reveal.

This is depressing.

[Gadwen]

I'm more surprised by people actually being disappointed with what they saw. What did you really expect from SOE?

You realize that some of us don't like games that look terrible, like EQnext?
I mean, sure it could be a great game despite its terrible graphics, not likely though.
The clips of combat they showed yesterday all but guarantee this is just another game using another game's title to milk retards like you for money. Go ahead and buy this shitty pos game, I wont cause it blows donkey cocks just like WoW, LoL, Vanguard, Rift, etc etc.

All these developers do is make cheap shitty games designed to make the most profit, so go ahead and buy it. You're just doing exactly what they want, so instead of EQnext folding completely because its a shitty game, they will continue making bad games because people like you buy them!

Uh you realize that it's a theme skin right?

It includes new spell effects and animations, four model evolutions based on the character stance, and new effects when killing things?
