Guest, did you like the last podcast notification?? Well here's the second one, and for the third podcast! Yep. This Thursday 8-8-24 at 7pm Central
Go here to check out his podcast thread for info on topics and links!Go into the FoH discord and find the Happy Time Fun Hour channel and give it a listen!
Think Terraria or Zelda.
Expand health/mana through "heart containers" you get from bosses or chests (this is going into Landmark, at least).
Expand functionality by finding different tools (hookshot, jumping boots, bombs, etc.), spells, recipes, etc.
Expand playstyle by finding new classes, skills.
Expand/enhance gear through drops/chests/crafting, breaking down / recreating new pieces, finding new recipes, defeating enemies for gear or crafting elements, or harvesting resources and using them.
And then they'll have an additional layer of advancement through spec points, which are earned by completing "achievements" or "goals", however you want to describe that. "Green Thumb: Help the druids defend Surefall Glade. +1 Advancement Point" might be an example of how they could do it. They described something similar to this.
The progression in EQNext seems very horizontal; lots of different aspects that make up the versatility of your character. Think Ocarina of Time Link in the beginning with 3 hearts, and Link in the end with 20 hearts, hookshot, mirror shield, fire tunic, etc.
Years of misplaced hype leading to endless frustration when the game gets dumbed down in beta, followed by rage when the game is released in a rushed and buggy state, followed by entrenched cynicism in which you vow to never again trust or play another SOE/Daybreak product.
Oh, I thought you said character building.

So, there's a Dev on theEQNext redditasking what your EQN version of Ogres, orcs, & goblins would be like.
Strange considering there were lore, concepts, and style guides for some of these already laid out.

Dave Marks is not Storybricks nor is he a major designer of Storybricks. Intrinsic Algorithm (Dave Marks) was contracted as a consultant to help integrate Storybricks into EQN. Storybricks is an AI engine developed by Namaste Entertainment, not Dave Marks nor his company.
I really doubt Dave Marks would violate his NDA and give Namaste or SOE trade secrets to ArenaNet.

Oh please, stop dreaming. If anything, the new owners compared a screenshot from the moneymaker game (WoW) to SOE concepts, noticed too many differences and told them to make it like WoW for the money hats. We're talking about an investment firm taking over, not someone that gives a shit about the product in the long run.
