jdun1 thats intresting.id like to see how you slot your toons or the powers you take.In about a year playing this game i never had a toon die in the tutorial .Rarely get sent to the hospital any more 1st 10 levels .Which two bit muggers seem rampant . i started about one month before i5 came out.Games got better an better.shrug im sure you have a difrent veiw of what fun is.but far as not haveing loot ,well same loot in one year wil be worth less an less each year. its called itemization or mudflation. |

Do You Think EQ Will Die Out Anytime Soon?

EQ will not die in a normal sence .It will shrink an shrink over time eventualy to one server.That may take a few years .EQ will always be in their cable company style subscription plans im sure. SoE an many players make the mistake i think about EQ.The game is a good game not a great game.Its the PLAYERS who make it great.Look at the rateing here for their comunity as suport to this.But at the rate SoE likes to shoot it self in the foot, one only wonders how many feet they have left or rounds left in the gun. |

Well that was the idea before now with alot of back ground an history problems their more like alternate universes .EQ2 was rushed out the door to help blunt the WoW onslaught .Instead it split the EQ player base.An acted as a gate way to WoW since it (EQ2) was buggy for a long time.Worse yet it was an still is veiwed by EQ players ( at least many of the ones i know ) as a betrayl by SOE. Devlopment money used on EQ2 could have/should have been used on EQ.But some times its better to start over than to keep fixing whats broke ( tho their track record of fixing whats broke is not that grand).The mass migration from EQ to EQ2 never happened.Players came back to EQ well thos that didnt move on to WoW for a bit. Some one said that EQ an EQ2 are as similar as Madden 97 an Madden 2006 .Sounds fair to me.Difrent grafics,an play mechanics but based off the same thing .. sorta. |

Their is crafting in a way now with the buff an temp powers that one can make with salavage in the bases.CoX apeal will partialy depend on how much of the story archs you actualy read.The background an world has a history as good as any of the big two comic companies imho.But if one does not read the stories then it is just fights an grind game that one can make it into.You can affect zones with just fights tho ( pvp zones ) . Like the rest id advise downloading the trial.Thats what hooked me almost a year ago.Its a game that one can play an stop when needed most of the time ( exceptions would be timed missions ).If you like makeing characters an spending alot of time makeing them look the way you want.Then this is the game for you .The game is deceptively simple .Character creation an the power set builds an how they work together takes bit to learn for your personal playstyle. Oh an badges are not useless haveing right ones unlocks more mission contacts an acolades which can affect your stats or give you powers.This is alot of content that if one just does patrols or get in fast leveling groups you will miss.One can solo or team your not required to .Games balanced so that no one arch type is required for a team.the old tank,healer,damage per second trio does not have to be the norm in this game. if your looking for instant gratification of loot tho.. its not here. |
