Daybreak games says it's still very much alive, and Terry Michaels is one of the devs still leading the charge, so what do YOU want to see from EQ Next in 2015? What will affirm your faith in the studio after its layoffs and convince you that EQN is on track?
Personally, and I talked a bit about last week, all I really want is more details and more gameplay video. If Landmark is the testbed for what EQN is to become, than I think we're more than ready to see the game in action as the devs are making it. Enough "we're transparent" talk without really showing anything. Give us classes, mechanics, dungeons, lore, and races. Give us how the rallying calls will play out, and more than just a quick "sort of" video at SOE Live.
If Daybreak is to continue the transparent style of SOE, then there's no better game to show that approach than EQ Next. We've heard plenty of talk, and the ideas behind the game are fantastic... but let's see some meat on those bones. Let's see if EQN is one of the main reasons Columbus Nova would buy SOE, and don't make it just another teeny update either.
What about you, what would ease your worries about EQN under Daybreak Games?
