Maybe classes will be dropped/rewarded as scrolls, then you can use it or trade it, and ofc buy a 3-pack of random classes in the cash shop

I was away all weekend trying to read up as I could. This thread was moving too fast. Is there a summary of what EQ Next really is minus the salty tears?

Don't, it's terrible. There's nothing to do in the entire game, it's just a completely overhyped pile of shit that was basically dropped instantly by everyone after a mad rush to buy it thinking they are getting in on the ground floor of the next minecraft.

So actually it has a lot in common with EQN

We're getting a gay "Inside the Black Box" video today. Which SOE will determine is enough to satiate the masses for a few days, I'd expect a class and combat explantion around friday.

EQNext will not be the game for original EQ fans. This game will be the retarded King of the trio known as EQ2 ,Vanguard and EQnext.

All 3 of these FAILED/WILL FAIL hard at attaining the ascension know as EQ classic.

Fuck that stupid presentation I watched. The lead director had about as much charisma as my fungus'd toe.

No salty tears here. Just plain logic.

Ugh collecting classes would be like the least important thing for me in EQnext. It would be just as much of a chore as grinding levels.

I wanna explore every inch of Norrath. I want to collect my ideal set(s) of gear. I wanna kill the biggest baddies and build a sweet house.

I want to do all these things, and I want to do it with a character that has more than 4 fucking abilities. If im out exploring and I stumble across a class acquisition, so be it, but I'd rather just have all of them at the beginning and just play the game how I see fit.

Isn't that the whole point?

Gaining classes is going to be like collecting gear I bet. It's a mix of FFXI(V), LOL and Rift. Originally, Rift was going to be a game where anyone could equip any soul and you had to quest/raid/whatever to find souls. Later the dumbed it down to just splitting them into 4 and giving them to you at level 1.

Taking everything they say at face value (dangerous and I personally don't) what they want to do looks interesting. You can start off by selecting one of X amount of basic classes. Go into the world and explore and do stuff. You're not immediately going to hit the treadmill of quest hub humping, but you're map or UI will probably point you in the direction of a Rallying Call.

I picture Rallying Calls being placed on a Map (maybe no minimap, maybe no GPS on main map), and you will make your way towards that area, but in GW2 style there will be small "hearts" or whatever going on that contribute to the Rallying Call.

Players will have to learn, like in GW2, that they just have to go out into the world and do shit and gain things.

Now they will have to get used to no levels which is awesome.

The core game will be easy. Run around, craft, kill stuff, see things. The hard parts, and I'm guessing, is gaining higher tiers. Maybe not everyone will be able to get to Tier 5, just like in WOW vanilla, people weren't able to see Naxx. Just like in League of Legends, there are only like 100 Challengers in each region, so in EQN Tier 5 is a very small group.

There are so many ways they can take this game that will satisfy the hardcore people, but we just don't know anything yet. So we either have to trust the devs, or continue screaming into the internet based on mis-information and already judge the game based on cartoon-like graphics. I prefer to take the middle approach and just wait and see and try to guess where the game will go casual and where the game will go hardcore.

I also like the limited skill sets. Makes it very easy to add classes and weapons into the game and people always love trying out new stuff.

Nope, they're faction/race/specific character-locked. They specially took Paladin as an example to say you couldn't improve the class if you didn't "live the life of the paladin". Meaning that, if you fuck up your faction, and the class trainer doesn't want to talk to you, then you can go from tier 2 to tier 3 in that class.

I still can't really believe they black boxed this, like they needed to keep it form competitors and would reveal it close to release so as not to be copied, yet here we are with a game obviously more than a year from completion, without its core features even fleshed out.

Maybe they just did that b/c they had so little?
