Will you NOT play EverQuest Next if Kerra aren't changed?

 

I won't.

 

It really cheapens the brand & it's pretty sad that they don't equate themselves with LOTR.

 

I don't want to see Norrath desecrated with their repugnant lack of finesse & the sell-out to MOBA-ACTION-FUN-FUN immediate gratification crowd.

 

Kerra once looked astute, soldiering, & regimental.

 

They had Drolvarg for a disproportionate race, & they chose to bastardize Kerra. Right.

 

Now they look like a Lion had sex with Mufasa, Bane, trenbolone, decadurabolin, IGF-1, & HGH.

 

Hello Ronnie Coleman! You're the new Kerra!

 

With clown-shoe-paws & glove-hands, no less...

 

The poll options are objective, because even if you don't play the Kerra, YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THEM IN THE WORLD NEXT TO YOU, therein aiding & abetting their defiled muck corruption of Norrath.

 

 

 

Women in "chainmail" or "plate" "bikinis" is also appalling & degrading to the brand.

 

Just look at this YouTube clip & how do you not laugh at " 1:00 " minute in...?

 

EverQuest Next - So what if the Trinity Dies? Class and weapons explained - RampUp #2 >

Yes, ArcheAge, Black Desert Online, & Bless look great.

 

But, I'd prefer Norrath to mature & not degrade. I just think it had more background potential.

Unbiased poll options are usually more effective.

I think it is pretty stupid to not play a game entirely based on not liking one tiny aspect of it, like not liking the Kerran models.

Antarious

Nope they said there are other cat appearances for them.... so I'll just find the one I like... but not the lion king...

djazzy

lol, nice loaded poll options

Anyway, I don't care about the looks of that race one way or another and it will in no way, shape, or form determine if I'll play the game or not.

jerlot65

If the ONLY reason you will not play a game because you dont like the look of a particular race then you way too picky and the playerbase will probably be glad your not playing the game and/or spreading hate throughout the community.

Shorun

I don't pick a game based on the character models. This ain't Sims.

Drakynn

I'm not fond of the current model but why would I not play the game because of it?I'll simply be less inclined to roll up a Kerran that is all.

Arskaaa

so far its looks only 1 person wont play and 5 will play:)

 

raww

Be very thankful if the biggest problem you found with the game was the Kerra model!

Azureblaze

While I admit that I don't think they did justice to the Kerra as far as the model they chose, it won't stop me from playing as I expect there are other character models I'll like to play.

Arskaaa

u should be happy there is not Fae. thouse looks more childish then lion. hope they wont add Fae...

dint liked thouse in EQ2

 

and lets be honest; i rather have cartoon looking lion then damm panda.

pandas need be burned from mmorpgs.

Watch the Iksar look like the Geico gecko.. LOL

Markusrind

If you think what was shown is the ONLY model available...and if you think there are no options/sliders for mouth, eye, chin, nose, brow, head, neck, shoulder, arm, chest, waist, leg, feet shape or colour or size or length...

 

basically if you are so ignorant of game design and character creation options available in games to even have to ask this question then to be honest, I hope it IS the only model so YOU won't be playing.

itsbigmike

alright, so you're not playing EQNext? Cool, guess you can stop posting on the forums then

Deolus

You can choose from lion, tiger and panther models for Kerra, and I'm guessing there will be a multitude of customisation options.

 

zinnikeys

It won't stop me from playing and enjoying the game, but it will be the first time I won't pick a feline race to play in a game.

Don't even go there lol.

I am actually very worried to have my eyes cursed by further denigrations of old, great races of Norrath...

 

If they make Gnomes look like EQ2 SOGA Gnomes over EQ2 default Gnomes...just...no...I will assume it's a CIA conspiracy to destroy the brand & set the small sect of Norrathian gamers free...

No, I actually think 8 spell/combat art classes aren't really classes, but who knows, maybe their MOBA inspiration will make it interesting.

 

The biggest problems will be (3): no end-game raiding (top tier loyalists make a MMOG's backbone), no concrete & REQUIRED 4 core roles of Tank/Healer/DPS/Utility, & ZERO consequence ON-THE-FLY multi-classing (yeah, a life of consequence? right).

Arasai can actually look amazing & be done with great excellence...

I will not play EveryQuest Next if my ingame experiance isn't fun to me. So far not much that's holding me back untill I actually get some game-experiance, though I am somewhat worried about it's sandbox nature into the F2P world but that's another topic.

None of these are in EVE Online. EQN is touted as a sandbox, why are you looking for themepark features?

/outrage locked and loaded..

 

The heavens and earth shall shudder at the wrath of former Iksar players should we happen to look like the Geico mascot!

Ridrith

Did somebody say...  EQ Next Kerra?  You mean this guy?

If those are your main concerns then EQ2 is there still heck there alot of games with what you want but I will be happy playing this cause what they have said sounds good to me. No more follow the yellow brick road or mmo board game play. To me most mmo's feel like the old Dungeon board game that was cool when I was young and wish I still had it so my kids and I could play but I will wait for a game that allows me to make my own story instead of forcing one on me.

Sorry, but EVE Online isn't the rubric for running a sandbox MMOG.

 

There is no rubric, either. MUDS, Ultima Online, Runescape, it doesn't really matter.

 

They had a strong model of class depth & valuable concrete roles & they think they're changing everything but the most important thing -- THE BRAND PRESENTATION & IMAGE.

 

It's honestly way too early for them to even be talking about "EverQuest Next" when they don't have better demonstrations/exhibits of product...

 

Plus, they should've just called EQN Landmark...Landmark, alone...

 

What they're doing is copying GW2, MOBAs, Champions Online, DC Universe Online, Smite, & Kingdoms of Amaleur because they or their venture capitalists don't believe in their own brand.

 

ArenaNet & Blizzard succeed BECAUSE OF BRAND.

 

And ArenaNet is hated by many for failure to conjure proper endgame content.

 

 

 

That, & none of them were ever even serious PvPers in EQ2, to realize why recognizing & succeeding in numerous, unique, set roles is valuable & instilling of sound strategy.

 

I'd be surprised if they even PvPed in EQ1.

Uh, no, EQ2 isn't still there.

 

EQ2 failed (compared to the true runaway successes) because EQ as a brand is terrible, & they're too out of touch & proud to make the proper adjustments advised -- also, poor game engine, little valuable below LVL cap content (which isn't adjusted for increasing: AAs + gear strength + player strength), & no incentives for succeeding in below LVL cap content.

 

EQ2 PvP also failed because of their utter managerial incompetence, which is no surprise seeing some of the glaring art/creative direction missteps.

PVP was pretty terrible in both EQ1 and EQ2. Games succeed when they are good games. That really is all there is to it.

Kyleran

So much to be concerned about regarding EQN, what the damn lions look like is hardly relevant.

Say it with me, game play over everything else, most especially graphics and character models.
