EQ 'Next'

[MrHat]

They said "pick and tunnel" and I thought of you,  Bzalthek.

[Bzalthek]

Wait, I can do that in EQN?  Really?

[MrHat]

Wait, I can do that in EQN?  Really?

That's what he said.  They showed an example where a pair gets stuck in a hole, and blast their way down into a chamber.

[Bzalthek]

The Lost Dungeons of Bzalthek!

[Mrbloodworth]

This build a village stuff? Fuck raids. This is tits.

[Threash]

He also said it eventually repairs itself.

[Bzalthek]

You build the village.  I shall build it's sewer system and dungeon!

[Simond]

Over-under on how much of this actually makes it to live? 25%? 20%? 

[Fordel]

What is a Voxel?

[Goreschach]

By the time all these new, groundbreaking features are removed from the final product, there isn't going to be any game left.

[Mrbloodworth]

Over-under on how much of this actually makes it to live? 25%? 20%? 

I firmly believe this is all possible with the forgelight engine.

[MrHat]

Over-under on how much of this actually makes it to live? 25%? 20%? 

A lot of talk at this point in the presentations.

[Kitsune]

Please tell me that golem wanders the commonlands.  You thought the griffon was bad?

[MrHat]

Steamworks for EQ?

[Sky]

Ugh

[Malakili]

Landmark is more interesting than the actual game.

[MrHat]

Minecraft: Next

[Kitsune]

EQ minecraft MMO, interesting.

[Sky]

Suspicious of traveling through other players creations and collection methods....but otherwise *sproing*

[trias_e]

voxels man.  definitely the best part of all this, actually is looking impressive.

[Mrbloodworth]

Hate to say I told you so. But I told you so.

[Malakili]

Hate to say I told you so. But I told you so.

Don't lie, you love being right.

Edit: I have no idea if this is actually going to pan out, but I hope it does.

[Sky]

Oh god don't let players vote

[Stormwaltz]

Motherfucker.

I'm actually obligated to drop the quote, "Gentlemen, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."

[Sky]

Too much smoke

[Merusk]

Scriped "gameplay" chatter is scripted.

[Mrbloodworth]

Note the action based combat. Who would have thunk it.  

Bet its fully voiced too.

[Sky]

Well, at least it's interesting.

[Merusk]

I'm still wary, because SOE.  I'll at least keep an eye out for more information, though, and admit there's promise there. 

I'm too jaded to believe that promise is more than marketing slickness at this point in time, however.

[Paelos]

It begins...

[trias_e]

The gameplay looks bleh.  Terrain disintegrating and flying around looks good.  Feels like an attempted GW2 killer with minecraft thrown in for good measure, but since I fucking hate GW2, I'll likely hate this as well.  

[Sky]

I like GW2 and love minecraft, so I'm sure I'll be interested up until the parts where it sucks because guilds and mmo.

[Goreschach]

Attempting to crowdsource development has got to be one of the worst ideas the games industry has cooked up in years. And given the nature of the games industry, that is a hell of a statement.

[Fabricated]

Considering we all tend to agree what is good/bad even if we play games we all consider bad, can we start a betting pool or something on this thing being terrible?

[PalmTrees]

It looked pretty interesting. Curious how they're going handle the inevitable urban sprawl and penis castles. It wasn't clear to me if the tools are just for buildings or if you can make custom item looks.
