Alpha Test EQ Next

They're just sad they can't make this level of detail without scaling up to insane proportions. Mind you, with more detail, comes more difficulty, but the tools feel really good in the game. I have been having a ton of fun building stuff.

One thing this game made very clear for me is that I am a writer, not an artist. But, I am really enjoying the tools and I like the potential, even if I do get the proportions all wrong right now. This bad boy took me about 10-15 hours and I stumbled around using all the tools to mess with it. Also, I'm not very good at taking screenshots.

The right arm where I took the screenshots is where I spent a lot of my time. I tried to do some stuff to give the arm definition and muscles but I ended up making it look awkward. I think I can do it better next time. Also the hand I started should be bigger. I need to give the ESO beta a break and hit up some more Landmark today I think.

I also figure I can add that Sony is really changing their game up for Landmark/EQN. I know that seems really hard to believe because they are charging for Alpha, but they dropped the NDA in under 24 hours, they have been working 12+ hour days easily every day of the work week, they have gotten up new servers, patched several times, and honestly they are full steam ahead working on this game and being very frank with people when things aren't working and admitting when they make mistakes. It's kind of amazing too because for the most part, people have not been too frustrated with them. Sure, right now they are able to tell people to go get a refund if they don't like the game, and I understand that just that phrase alone is a HUGE cop-out, however, I think they are still doing a lot right. I'm really hoping that more companies lean this way than the Zenimax way of trying to keep everything as tight lipped as possible.

Either way, I'm having a blast in Landmark, and it looks like from the patch note digging they are already internally working on EQ Next the actual game. Landmark itself will probably be a deep full-game experience by the end of summer, and I am looking forward to purchasing my way into the Alpha for EQ Next as well.
