EQ Never
- Thread starter Convo

I honestly hate public quests. Isn't the point of the game to play with your guild and not have to interact with public as least as possible lol?
+1 almost nothing they have imo is final except the class setup, no leveling & environment.
great ill play landmark and EQN til 2017, then fire this bad boy up and all will be well.

Recipe for a sure-fire "key" access to zones:
- If one of the characters on your account is enabled for the zone,everycharacter on the account is enabled
- You can be enabled by obtaining the key (loot / quest / flag)orby defeating a majority of the encounters of the zone (zone has 5 bosses? beat any 3, get keyed)
- You can zone in ifenoughpeople in your raid are enabled (works best if raid has no max size: raid is for 18? Once you have 18 people keyed in, you can bring as many extras you want. For fixed-size raids - bleech - make it 80% of the raid)
- You can zone in if yourguildhas enough enabled members (multiple chars on the same account don't count, obviously) to fill a raid, even if none of them are online.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Big Flex again."
Fucking lol.
Men, flagging is an archaic concept designed to stagger zone access on release of content. I'd like to see it gone the way of the dodo. But if you must have it, just make it a guild flag.

Otherwise known as Asheron's Call's monthly events that they were doing back in 1999.
So not very new.

You've never really experienced a real public world quest that pushes a story line and changes your world. AC has done this since Nov. 1999 and it was one of the best player experiences I have ever had.
Public quests ala WAR, RIFT and whatever new MMO is using them just suck balls.
I might be down for it if it was some type of game changing event or like a special GM event. The same PQ that pops up every 15mins and gives everyone fat lootz is what ruins it for me. If they have public quests that are like AV in wow where it lasts for days and people come and go and help push the cause further then that could be different. Thats the whole concept with SOE stuff. Lots of it sounds good, but it depends on how they implement it. I have a feeling that the next game that copies EQN (believe there are people pushing for the voxel shit themselves now) will be tits after they fix all the flaws soe falls upon.
So I see Elidroth is definitely tied to EQ, but is that legit Elidroth or just someone posing? It's weird to show the goods on your super secret project you want to surprise Smedley with. But would be lovely.

From what they said it is not a dynamic event. It is a scripted event that you can just finish more slowly.
I wish developers would come up with a true sandbox. Player and guild based reputations, built on actions done by the playerbase and also factions modified by npc factions as well. The ability for players and guilds to take and hold keeps and towns, getting the benefits of such as well. Stuff that led to things like you as a player being a notorious murderer of the barons guardsmen in southshore and having that affect his guilds reputation with the barons troops leading to a confrontation at some point once that players actions outweigh the more friendly actions of the guild at large.
Layer that with guild based pvp settings (showing guild tags flags you pvp to at war guilds) with reputation hits for killing players and guildmembers as well. Including allied npc reputation hits as well.
Yes it would be complex, but think of all the things that could be done with the Tech that Rift had for invasions and taking points back in beta and combine that with things like the voxel engine and Storybricks and holy shit you could have a true sandbox.

Rallying calls are storyline events written and controlled by SOE, they are not meant to be dynamic. They can be slightly impacted by player interaction but the end result will be the same. It's going to be a bunch of Sleeper-awakening events, one time things that you're either in on, or you aren't (and never will be) resulting in permanent change to the world.
