Although I have no love for the company, I did like Eq1 and 2 very much, so hope they learned and have a winner here.

Nope, that is the only armor that will exist in the game. Come on now. lol
Let me explain this for you. He means, as long as that set - is the only set with those stats and that there are not 20 different versions of those shoulders pads with varying stats.
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who pick their nose.. and liars.

For the first 8 years or so of EQ, that is exactly what they did.
Originally posted by hockeyplayr some nice models. I wonder how graphically intensive they are going to make it since it is coming out for ps4 as well. Thought they'd try to take the blizz approach and get it on as many machines as possible
Stop saying its coming out on ps4!!! Nowhere has that been said or verified!
Also given the state of console connectivity these days, how dumb would they have to be to pass up this opportunity to have the next big MMO on a gaming platform used by far more people than PCs?
Pretty much all the tools they have been playing around with and developing for EQ2 have been leading up to EQNext, I mean.... SoEmote? Perfect for use on a console with voice / cam.

Almost all the PC exclusive mmos have pretty dumb and boring gameplay like tab targeting and mashing 123456 on my hotbar with a mob standing still in front of me doing lame objectives for people with an exclamation mark on their heads. And when it comes to story they are pretty cliche. Good gameplay that actually requires some brains are games like portal which can be played with a gamepad. Having more clutter on your interface doesnt make a game more complex and surely doesnt mean your smarter.
I fail to see how mashing buttons on a controller is any less brain dead than clicking icons on a hot bar. Simon says combo based combat is as mindless as gameplay can get and that is a very common mechanic for consoles. I know it is probably unlikely, as every crossover game to date has forced PC gamers to deal with a console style interface and control scheme, but I would love it if SOE would create separate interfaces and control paradigms for each platform.
Map hidden on second screen is probably Norrath. Looks like Faydwer in upper corner below clouds with something (a dragon?) in front of map. If this is the map kunark will not be in at release.
I really hope the game won't be over stylized with bulky armor bits and pieces. It's one of the things that can really turn me off an MMORPG. Those bracers are a little silly to me right now, but not too horrible.
Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.
Another of eq unstreamable by SOE themselves.was following them in the past.they could never stream in 1080p.people have been doing it for years lol.we'll see but my hopes aren't on eq

Did you ever play EQ2? One model for each armor type and you could tell what tier they were by the color.
So true and it beckons the question if Ladien even played EQ2 or understands the major issue with EQ2's graphical game engine that prevents additional armor models from being added into the game.
This is what they promised back in 2002 but what we got was far from it.
Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.

This doesn't make any sense. The development team and the team that ports this would be two completely different teams. If they release the game on a second platform, they have a much larger potential player base which means a much larger revenue stream. The larger the revenue stream, the more resources they can put towards to future development.
I only pray they don't cave into the whiney masses of people with chappy computers. Sorry, but good computers are cheap nowdays, and if you want a premium game you better step up.
IMO, a MMORPG with proper sandbox scope and complexity doesn't belong to consoles.
People were asking for small fluff "leaks" about EQN...this does not harm their big august reveal, let's hope they give us more small stuff like this one.
IMO Smedley's 2 tweets after the pic were even better

Since PlanetSide2 uses the same engine that EQN will use there's no reason to expect it not to arrive on PS4, they are optimizing the engine for multi-core cpus too so that'll make the pc version better too.

so true..
look at what they are putting on the PS4 for console players
DC Universe and Planetside 2
even though I enjoyed both games, I don't find them like your traditional mmo's like Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies
but eqoa and ffxI two generations ago were certainly traditional MMOs
eqoa was a little streamlined but still had a giant world with a lot of depth to the game.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
+1
I hope they not making this for PS4 they need to stick to just PC and not waste time and money making this for console machines.
