even so, i'd give up alot just to be immersed - which i think mmo should be.
Yep, I've thought about it a lot. I think it would gigantic amounts of fun in an MMO, I just hope I wouldn't be so full of wonder but in reality I'm missing all kinds of important obvious things. Will have to test I suppose.
I also remember Brad talking heavily about the "Advanced Encounter System" Vanguard was supposed to have.
I was thinking the exact same thing. It would be great. I never thought about the early combat though, I kinda assumed that would never be seen again. Would love for it to become a reality though!

p.s. Not only was it extremely reactive and tactical (like a turn based game almost), but it also let you attack individual body parts. Something else they scrapped

Wonder how brad will take my tweet
He'll probably ignore it like we do to your posts.

Soon as I see a SS of an item stats window, that will tell me a ton on how this game goes. Color coding for lvl range and/or min lvl to equip. That will equate to me it has progression of lvls with expectation that the player MUST play the "Regear/replacement" game every X lvls and generally a clone of something I am not playing now due to bordom. Its a tad-tell sign it mimics something else to close and lesson werent learned.

Dont mind some limits and restrains but if its claim to be out of the box, this would not be a way to show it.

Personally I am not hyped for this game anymore. Reading through articles about it on the web and how people have said it is "revolutionary" makes me feel like it will allow players to choose difficulty settings for those that want hardcore, and permadeath, etc. etc. so everyone gets what they want in their own unique experience sort of way. I also think phasing will be huge in this game to keep certain groups of people together and not together. I just don't see SOE ever remaking an EQ-like experience where the game is slow and focused on exploring the world and learning about it while killing some beasties with friends.

I dont think this game is in a friends and family beta. There are people I know in SoE who still are not allowed to play the game and they are high enough in the ladder to be playing if there really was a f/f beta right now. I still think its only a tight knit development group that's playing right now.

Its very Early Alpha there are still systems and zones stuff not in.
Launch Goal is Nov or Dec 2014.

My original guess, but people have been making the case for a way-sooner-than-expected launch. That's sort of when I want it to launch (much to the ire of probably everyone else). My life is going to be hectic for the rest of the year and into the next, holiday of next year everyone thing should slow up. That'd still be a fast turn around from unveil to release. Hopefully they'll take dates Friday.

Yea I dunno..I think beta is coming very very soon. Be shocked if this game releases that far away.

Didn't Smedley say we'd have our hands on it this year "and not a beta"? What's with the year+ away predictions? Just because nobody thinks the game can be developed this secretly and theres no possible way they're that far along in development without leaks?

I sort of think the short amount of time they from basically showing PS2 to beta to launch will have them setup to be expected to do the same with EQN.

While this is definitely #1 on my wishlist , the Wildstar to ESO to ArcheAge to Destiny (and smaller Repopulation etc )and so on that are all slated to release sometime between now and end of 2014 I don't think they will wait to be last out of the bunch.
