So many virgins stuck in 1999 mode.

SoE wants to make money. They are a business. A hardcore game will not make money.

Graphics are fine, character models are good so far. If they fuck up dwarves tho, then im gonna be mad.

Also I'm going to make Dick Island with that EQN Landmark game. With towers of dicks.

Now you're just being a prick.
How's it feel?

We can all play this game. You are taking one point (an opinion no less) and SLAMMING it down our throats every chance you get. You have no real opinion based on anything except 'that lion looks like other stylized non realistic lions in pop culture, and I wanted it to look like something out of the fucking savannah'.

WE ALL WANT IT LIKE THAT TOO.

It's just that the rest of us realize that the inclusion of certain features made that NOT possible, and that the inclusion of said features is far more important to the success of the game than what the lion actually looks like.

They wanted the world to be created from voxels, how realistic could the world be and keep system specs reasonable while still including this (awesome) feature?
They wanted to include significant emotion in their characters faces, another awesome feautre, by how could they achieve it with very realistic character models? They needed big eyes/mouth/eyebrows, just like all western 'anime' cartoon styles.

Tldr: we fucking know what you are saying, and probably even agree with you, but you are arguing with no auxiliary data like some kind off pissed of woman.

Someone posted this image Reddit, and I think it's a good point. Both were made in 1994, one's style stands the test of time, the other is just kind of comical now.

I think graphics have reached the point where pushing the graphical boundaries can stand the test of time quite a bit better than before, but stylized art will always be timeless.

first thing im building is a zoo. and im going to collect flora & animals and charge admission.
Don't get me wrong, I was hoping for a little more traditional "EQ1 built on a bedrock of SWG" but the fact that we can mentally masturbate about shit like this is a good indicator imho. Kerrans look gay, and the combat has some serious flaws, and idk how the class mechanics are gunna pan out but... If I can build a zoo, PK some noobs, raise my Ghoul faction, and then deposit my treasure in my dick castle, i'd be pretty happy.

I will agree at this point that anybody hoping for a "hardcore" MMO should resign from the genre as no company focused on making money (which all the AAA capable companies are) will ever do something which would alienate the casual player.

Not only will this game be playable on consoles, i'd give 50/50 they find a way to make it playable on phones and tablets.

Oceans aren't in yet. Apparently voxel fluid is a tough thing to get right.

What I'm saying is, World of Warcraft still looks pretty damn good after nearly a decade. EverQuest 2 after a decade? Not so much.

Like Quaid has said, a stylistic approach was necessary because of the systems they put in place. A destructible world? A layered world? Complex lighting system for true day/night cycles?

Sometimes you have to pick your battles. Overall the stylized art is pretty good. The environments looks amazing, and the characters are passable.

Landmark and EQN are supposed to be two totally separate things, though. I got the impression that landmark is just their Minecraft game you can build shit in and if they like said shit enough they'll put it in the real game and pay you for it.

Regardless I can't wait to try the Landmark thing, especially if it's on a server that you can go check out shit other people are building.
