You need one of these to play EQ2. It's in the agreement.

After watching the movie it made me ask some questions.

Like does each NPC have thier own original diolog content?
Are there any movies about combat and spells?

I would also like to point out taht the reason I dont want to play EQII is not "EQ" but the designer "SOE" These guys couldnt take care of a customer base if thier profits depended on it. Good thing for them they dont. People see the pretty grafics and the cool audio diologs and think "Th1s g4m3 r0x!" But SOE has a nasty little habbit of making thier games grind dependant. Seeing as I go to college full time, and work 38-48 hours a week I dont have much time for games. So grind = no play for me.

Also the fact that SOE has burned me TWICE befor with empty ass promises and a suprising knack to listen the the whordes of people complaining, I dont think Ill ever give them any of my money again. If they offered a trial though... that I would take.

I miss EQ now. But I can't go back, I gave away all my shit to some low level enc.

After I got Clarity, I just... stopped trying, and I quit.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Open PvP is a stupid fucking idea for a mainstream MMO, as vastly more people prefer PvE than PvP, and levels can be easily drained of their negative impact upon PvP (as WoW has done a fairly decent job of).

Open PvP is the only way to do it right. And I do have an idea what I'm talking about. I pay to play against other people, not some NPC powered by Intel.

Open pvp is retarded. Realm based pvp however, owns, as demonstrated by the WoW stress test beta servers.

sometimes that NPC pwered by intel is more challenging then a player.

Huge raid report, biggest so far in Closed Beta.

TheN00b · 2004-10-09, 03:55 PM

Damn, Salazar, that looks amazing. To those of you in Beta: What would you guys advise as the best way to develop a character: i.e.; class, skills, etc.

Salazar · 2004-10-09, 04:09 PM

I played in the stress test. I have no clue on what class you should play, I think you should play each during open beta (I came into the ST wanting to play a priest/caster class, came out having more fun playing a melee class).

For skills, depends: Do you want to make alot of money? do a fun tradeskill? make stuff that your class can use or wear?

For money:
Try the gathering skills; mining, herbalism, or skinning.

A fun tradeskill:
Engineering, sadly it does'nt make much money due to most of the items requireing an engineering level to use. You can make stuff like bombs, mechanical chickens; and at higher levels a rocket helmet, or a mechanical dragonling.

A tradeskill that your class can use or wear:
I suggest reading up on the classes here http://worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/ at the bottom they suggest tradeskills (i.e. Mages can go tailoring and make their own equipment, or go herbalism/alchemy and make mana potions)

I want to make money so I will be going mining and skinning.

Also read up on the professions page here http://worldofwarcraft.com/info/professions/

This site is down ATM http://www.thottbot.com but when it comes back up, it lists everything you can make with the tradeskill professions, and what spells you get at what level with a class.

EineBeBoP · 2004-10-09, 04:45 PM

Yep. when i played dwarf paladin, I went mining / blacksmith.
Now that im playing Dwarf hunter, i cant use any of the armor BS makes, so i switched to engineering.

Make a good ammount of cash, and its fun.

Can you kill some annoying jackass on your own side?

Indecisive · 2004-10-09, 05:53 PM

No, which is the point, you cant be killed by annoying jackasses.

/edit/ only way to kill your own team is by dueling, which must be accepted.
