Yes, yes you will. If I had to guess I'd say post-launch, though. Monsters for sure, you will have full access to scripting and AI.

Curious as to if you/anyone has heard any hints on how far this will go. We've heard we get all the tools they will use to make EQN.

What I'm wondering about specifically in this case (although thinking lots about class design and mechanics changes we can do etc for creation of own worlds) , is will we be able to fully design mobs from the ground up to be used in other spheres/worlds?

If so , I don't think anyone realizes how huge that will be. I could see myself spending more time designing and creating mobs than almost anything.

It makes total sense but have they explicitly stated they want to copy people's designs for EQN?

They stated early on that they COULD offer contests to make stuff - sounds like if they do they'll ask for it not just take at random though.

Sapphires and Rubies are the hardest boss in this game

. I would rather farm Burled Wood than run to another Cobalt vein, see that it's tiny on the surface and get excited only to watch it widen out under the surface and have Rubicite attached to it. The worst part is I only need TWO more fucking sapphires.

Find someone with the Tradesman's Sifter and feed it a ton of rock. That will give you sapphires too.

I cannot stand the alpha forums anymore..jesus @!#$@#@#$%^ mother of !@#@!%$^&&*& god!!!

I gave up trying to help people over there. And I am glad I don't own a game company...I would lock every thread.

They've mentioned they are using Storybricks, and it sounds like we'll be getting it as a part of Landmark.

haha yeah. I just go there for the SOE post tracker and their twitter feed of devs. They hate it too and usually do the good stuff on Reddit.

Ha, I can't imagine posting there. Most official forums are garbage so I just stick to here and a few other game networks. I'm thoroughly enjoying my experience so I think it's working out OK for me.

its is hard to make rounded edges or angles? No insult to previous posters/pics etc... I just see a lot more blocked items than expected.

The tools are still pretty cumbersome for rounding at the moment. You can smooth edges obviously, but the smoother tool makes things look more like it is rain-worn than actually 'rounded' and varies a lot from click to click. Some of the tools (like the selection tool), I am not even sure are working at all or are still unintuitive. That said, at this point you can make things look great from a distance but up-close detail still needs some refinement of the tools -- at least for a novice user like me anyway. I am sure some people who played minecraft before have work-arounds for some of the limitations I run into, but I suspect a lot of what you are seeing are people like myself that are still learning 'how' to build in a voxel environment coupled with a lot of the tools still being works in progress

The biggest reason is that the smoothing tool is very difficult to undo right now. So most people do that as the very last thing, after they're dead certain that everything is 100% perfect.

Selection tool as far as I can tell works perfect. That thing is my bread and butter. I use it for almost everything but small touches here and there. It's amazing how fast you can use it to fill in areas, delete stuff, or copy exntire sections. I'll never be able to go back to placing blocks one by one in minecraft again.

You have to make the Smooth tool for rounded edges. Angles are a bit odd, at least I havent got the hang of them, but I dont have the Line tool yet I'm not sure if that helps or not.

Laugh.. clearly I am doing something wrong with the selection tool then.. because I can't seem to make it do anything :p

Can someone link that video tutorial on the building tools? I just started messing with them today and I feel like a total retard.

The smoothing tool on a the small 1x1 brick is very sketchy at times it will sharpen more than things were after using line tool. I think a statue that is twice the scale of this one and you could get some decent detail out of it, I didn't want to overwhelm the house with it, but wanted it to be noticeable from a distance to bring people in.

It's better than minecraft in that we you can build on a smaller scale but it still feels "blocky" A cylinder tool would go along way towards fixing that.

Spent a solid hour running from the top right edge of Scarp to my claim near the bottom middle mining nearly every Cobalt vein I ran across (minus the ones with visible Rubicite) and got 0 sapphires. I hope getting readily available T4 gems and T5 ores are high on their to-do list. My new graphics card will be here Monday so I'll take some screenshots once I get it installed. Working on a keep/tower structure that I hope is unique enough to get noticed.

Also allow me to express my disappointment in the line tool being unable to do 1 voxel diagonal lines. Gonna have to rethink a couple of design ideas and having a diagonal banister on stairs has gone out the window unless I can find another solution.
