Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
This person?
You talking shit about Holly Longdale, the former EQ Brand Executive Producer, and reason why so much cool stuff was done on EQ over the years like the Agnarr server?
She's incredible at her job. EQ TLP wouldn't have been able to do as much if they had someone like Dave Georgeson running it still.

Yeah, no, not Holly, but I think Maria? The lady doing the art/factions presentation.

The new zones and the hero talents idk, not bursting with joy. Feeling I saw all this over the last expansions and I hated the Zaralek cavern for its look and feel
Also the classic seasonal thingie, they presented it as kind of a fun gimmick you play for a few levels and fun and giggles not some way to further progress with classic.

If they can actually craft a good big picture narrative, would be good for the game. Not something that feels very compelling for me to come back and put faith in, though. But I hope for those still playing it leads to good/better things.

wow streamers i've watched (who were playing FF) talked about how they literally didn't read any quest dialogue the whole time they played, and were annoyed when anything like a cutscene happened in a raid.
are we sure the wow players will...take to a 'story'?

It's dungeon is basically Shadowlands done right in 20 minutes, 3 bosses and 6 trash packs though lmao.
I think Labyrinthos is the worst zone in MMO history, which is a shame because the second visit is between two very interesting zones with a great story.

So they fully grasp how retarded their story writers are.

IDK, at least the story has some sort of terrestrial direction rather than LETS GO TO SPAAAAAACE. Shadowlands was fucking awful.
The systems are OK if a bit... underwhelming. I was expecting something more from this one, since DF was the 'unfuck itself' expac, yet managed to redo talents competently (a MASSIVE job), add a new trans pride class and spec, completely redo trade skills to not be complete shit, completely redo the rep system so it matters again and added dynamic flying pretty well which is a miracle since there's so many ways they could have fucked that one up.
So I'm at a loss for how they could be launching with ... scenarios and islands but underground, the typical talent and skill bloat +10, and some changes to make more stuff account wide?
Am I missing some major pillar here? The only thing I can think of is they are doing mini expacs like that one leak and this is one per year with one major patch and then another expac in 12 mo instead of 24 mo cycle? I would be OK with that, maybe.

Metzen hinted at faster releases for the trilogy, so I'm guessing a year, maybe a bit more, between expansions. Adding dragonriding (I think they called it dynamic flying) to all mounts is also cool. Tomorrow there's a deep dive panel which should shed more light on what to expect.
