And no one will remember they they didn't 'follow up' in one year from now. Hell, I don't think anyone will even remember one month from now, after Landmark is released.
That's not their problem. They never gave any indication of that. People just let the imaginations run wild.
Never implied that it was SOE's problem, but I'd say it is a problem they're going to have to deal with as long as people are talking shit about EQN while knowing very little about it.
Nah it is their problem. Smed's tweet gave life to those imaginations. Sure he meant EQN/L but people didn't know that.
I know I sound like a broken record, but anyone bitching right now will do a 180 if word of mouth is that the game is good.
Here's what EQN willactuallylook like:Here's what I think EQN will look like:
I'm with you buddy, but I do think there were screw-ups by SOE by Butler in the reveal and in the expectation management by Smed/Marketing.
I agree the reveal wasn't perfect. Hearing "We can't talk about that yet" or "Trust us it'll be good" for every other question isn't terribly inspiring.
Look how apeshit people went over the EC tunnel in the blackbox video. So yeah. ;-)
We clearly should settle Boobville first.Here's what EQN willactuallylook like:

Hell, nowadays you often have to level up a bit to realize how bad it sucks. The first 10-20 levels of Conan were pretty awesome. I don't think I made it more than 5 levels after the starter area, though.
Advantage: EQN with flat levels. Tier 2b or Tier2c on should all be "similar" just harder mobs - unless there's a lot more raiding in EQN then they've stated. Tier 1 probably won't have the "real" combat AI.
Yep. Not to mention there won't be a box cost. Even if EQN sucks, you'll probably atleast get $15 of entertainment just from exploring and getting your nostalgia boners from checking out places like EC Tunnel.
While not an MMO, it will have multiplayer, and probably the closest we'll ever get to UO2https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/(just in case you hadn't heard of it).
They commented all the time about how they can tune the AI up and down, so probably. That's the biggest issue with the reveal - that talked up the Combat AI a lot and didn't show one gameplay video with actual AI.
Yeah, no doubt T1 will be tutorial/intro type content, and T2 will start to push players into the deep end of the pool. I figure by the time folks reach T3 they'll have a good handle on what there is to do and see in the game. I am hoping character advancement isn't as rushed as it is in most modern MMOs. Getting to max level in a couple days of play is fucking lame.
