Hype Train!
That aside, this falls back to the 2015 release date i was told. It may come by end of 2014 but this was always a ways off. Regardless of what shit they kept before they scrapped it, this shit is no where near ready, and now that trinity is gone im more so hoping WoW pulls its heads out of its asses and puts out a real xpac that doesnt have shit to do with panda's, koala's, or babar.

Holiday 2014 at best. I'm still trying to figure out why everyone with an inside source was pushing the "it'll hit way sooner than everyone thinks" so hard (to the point I was questioning myself). It had to have been Landmark.
I agree Big Flex. I think a lot of people are missing this:
Terry: Things are not set in stone, we're committed to working with you. This is not Gospel. Things are subject to change based on feedback.
I think the foundation will stay the same but a lot of things class wise probably are still up in the air.

Hark VG classes! Built on EQ's approach and made the classes even more unique yet all interdepedant. Some where better in certain situations etc but everyone brought something to the table.
So pretty much this game is in its infancy and everything discussed is just that, a discussion. Nothing is set in stone and the game's not releasing until 2015 probably.

Agreed 100%, though they probably aren't interested in the opinions of jaded old fuckers like us.
And of course I'll still play 100% - they could have literally shipped out EQ with updated gfx and if it was FTP, I'd still knock around in it a few hours a week. My point is simply that I wanted (still want) this to be great... in spite of SOE's track record. Think the doing away of the trinity is the first thing I've heard/read that immediately shot up red flags/alarm bells, as I don't think SOE/Storybricks/Whoever has the tech or the ability to implement it right.
What will be funny, and typical is now that SOE has "shown" its hand and its ideas (again, some of which are exceptional) - a better company, with more talent and better programmers will come in and make "this game", only correctly. If nothing else comes of this, that would still be a great step forward in the genre.

I hope so too. I really think they've tried too hard to differentiate their game from others. They may want to be cautious to not overlook some key mechanics that I feel are necessity in a MMO. I'm concerned about the trinity. I'm sure there may be other ways but players are going to completely lose their identity. I think classes should be simplified a bit. I like their idea but I don't want a gating, cc'ing, self-healing, invising, tank with SoW and snare. That's an exaggeration but what's to keep them from going this route? Hopefully classes are restricted within certain disciplines. I'm going to attempt to look back through the notes but to my understanding, just about anything is possible. 40 class combinations is a lot.
Well, when the Blizzard exec saw this at E3, he went back and you heard about the dismantling of the Titan team. Yeah, they had started phasing out the dev team even before then, but I think after seeing the E3 presentation, Blizzard just blew the Titan team up completely.

More than 4 character abilities per class, much less than 40 character abilities for class (many more classes than any one class' abilities). Is the current official answer unless there was clarification somewhere else.

I realize they said that, but I think they're just trying to be "unique." Everything in your blog reads like a bulleted list from Arenanet.

My thoughts too. This feels sorta like when Bioware blew their load way too early for ToR. Then again, that game was awful anyway.
