I'd be more surprised if they didn't do something like that. The 40 class system sounds perfect for using microtransactions in one of the ways players tend to find acceptable: convenience. They already said there are 8 starter classes to choose from, but the one you pick doesn't preclude you from getting the others after you start. So if you pick a Wizard but want the Druid's abilities, you can unlock the Druid through questing or you can pay $15 to unlock it immediately. That doesn't make it "pay to win," just lets you pay to get something a little quicker.Fixed your sentence there for yaDid they mention if all the classes will be shown before release? Or if there will be some that need to be purchased.
They specifically mentioned the Flowing Black Robes as an item that would be returning for nostalgia purposes. Not much more than that.Have they mentioned any of the following or hinted at in any form: staff of temperate flux or other clickies, invis/see invis, enduring breath/swimming, levitation, SoW/selos, epic quests, bazaar/AH, item repair, charged items/recharging, gating mobs, mob summoning?
Until you find the poopsocker that has enough money to blow on unlocking all 40 classes at once for instant godmodeThat doesn't make it "pay to win," just lets you pay to get something a little quicker.
OHHHH SHITTT.I'd be more surprised if they didn't do something like that.

Well, I don't if I would call it 'levitate' persay, but the "running around the desert" video had the characters wearing Boots of the Zephyr, which let them glide through the air. Your call if you want to call that a clickie, as well.Have they mentioned any of the following or hinted at in any form: staff of temperate flux or other clickies, invis/see invis, enduring breath/swimming, levitation, SoW/selos, epic quests, bazaar/AH, item repair, charged items/recharging, gating mobs, mob summoning?
For an additional fee and ofcourse state taxes.The only thing I care about is... IS THERE A BARD?!!
We can thank Dave Georgeson for that "Feature".I'd be more surprised if they didn't do something like that.

Aren't bards utlity?The only thing I care about is... IS THERE A BARD?!!
bards are dps like Rogues got transformed into dps!Aren't bards utlity?
Not sure if it falls in SOE new dps only matrix lol.
Which I'm sure is what SOE would be hoping for. These F2P games are primarily funded by "whales" who often spend hundreds of dollars in the e-store.Until you find the poopsocker that has enough money to blow on unlocking all 40 classes at once for instant godmode
I suppose I can understand people's crestfallen reaction to some of the EQNext news when considering bards. If playing a bard is dissimilar to being a crack-addled squirrel, I will be disappointed.The only thing I care about is... IS THERE A BARD?!!
Free to Play. Your Way.?We can thank Dave Georgeson for that "Feature".
SOE won't be selling classes. SOE is going to sell templates, various pots, various looks for your weapons and other shit. There'd be a shitstorm if they sold classes.Until you find the poopsocker that has enough money to blow on unlocking all 40 classes at once for instant godmode
I with you buddy. EQN looks fun, OTOH, I really prefer EQ's unique classes and downtime with my combat. As pointed out EQ comba could have used a polish (basically adding in VG's OT/DT to give tanks something else to do, and healers something else to do). That with all the rest of the EQN stuff and I could have played that game for years. /mournI'm torn, part of me is really disappointed that this won't actually be EQ...But part of me is pretty pumped that this seems be like the kind of Diablo, in terms of thousands of variables per gear/skill/builds that I really wanted--that and I'm pretty sold on a Pokemon game.
So from now on, this will EQiablomon to me.
