That guy's pretty tame.They're not alone on that front. CA wasted time on "impressive" facial animations for commanders in Rome II. Because you know, people playing strategy games (where a single fight has potentially thousands of actors) really want to zoom in close on their guys in all these epic moments!
I liked the idea of /pizza, it was badly implemented.
Tell me you wouldn't shit your pants when an entire battalion of Brian Peppers comes charging at you!That guy's pretty tame.
I get mad even thinking about... When I first watched Georgeson demonstrating SOEmote I thought even if one guy had been sitting there developing it that is one guys that could have been addressing hotbars or abilities in EQ2. That's one guy that could have spent 8 - 10 hours a day for who knows how long making things right. I cannot think of one situation to where SOEmote could improve the quality of their games.
We were not their target audience. They wanted the moms and the little kids to eat up their products
Implementing SOEmote would be a programmer task, hotbars/abilities would be systems design.
I'm starting to think maybe within a few weeks. They seem to be gutting most games down to skeleton crews. Designed to maintain and maybe produce a few minor droplets of new content a year. Not enough to actually make a expansion out of. I don't see what there doing as being able to maintain current revenue streams from existing gamse let alone being able fund EQ Next development.
