SOE not giving us enough information!

in Everquest II

How come they have hardly given us any details? Like different armor for instance such as plate why dont they show us different plate armors instead of just showing that there will be plate armor. Or like for skills and spells how theyve hardly given us any information on them , or how leveling up and how ur stats work and what not. Stats for some weapons and armor or and what not.

Is it just because they want all of this kind of stuff to be a suprise and find out about it for ourselves when the game releases? Or cuz they arnt anywhere near finished those kinds of things? Or because they dont wanna release inaccurate information on these types of things because there prior to change for release?


Im just wondering...cuz if all of that is already done i would think it would be nice for them to release some detailed information on those kinds of things so we can all do some planning and have a better understanding of the classes and what not and give us something to do while we wait for release. So does anyone actually know why they havent????

    Because its a game dedicated to exploration adventure and finding new things, the only cool looking armour will be the most rare uber badass armour, such armour is best to get found as such items are mystery.
    If you saw a peace of armour on here and it looked really cool, then your goign to think WOW i want that! So im going to get that. But thats not how its going to be, its going to be a case of seeing someone walking around with something different than everyone else which will make that person more uber.
    Or like for skills and spells how theyve hardly given us any information on them , or how leveling up and how ur stats work and what not. Stats for some weapons and armor or and what not.
    They have released information on that, the most recent up todate version is Kunou's article i think.
    Besides that, any other information is for the player to seek out his self, find out new things in-game and advance them.

    Is it just because they want all of this kind of stuff to be a suprise and find out about it for ourselves when the game releases?
    Yea, but the best stuff wont be at release, it will be from playing many months in the game, getting to the game and fidning out what stuff is best for yourself.
    Or cuz they arnt anywhere near finished those kinds of things?
    No one knows.
    Or because they dont wanna release inaccurate information on these types of things because there prior to change for release?
    Correct, even in the short/distant future, some minor tweaks will be implemented. The system at launch is never ever ever perfect in any game, theres always something that isnt quite right for everybody, thats one reason of many that all mmorpg's get "updated patches".

    Im just wondering...cuz if all of that is already done i would think it would be nice for them to release some detailed information on those kinds of things so we can all do some planning and have a better understanding of the classes and what not
    Yea it would be nice, but what would you prefer?.. armour that everyone knows and its state are ace, or find even newer unknown armour which not many people have and its stats are even better than anyone else knows of?
    If we get that info before we start the game, there wouldnt be as much "flavour" to the mystiful world of Norrath.

    and give us something to do while we wait for release. So does anyone actually know why they havent????
    They gave us the preview edition of the CC program, they allow the fansites to go take a look at the game and tell all the fans.
    Tho it would be nice to have something new more regularly, right now they are just teasing us with little bits     (of new info, screenies, videos (lacking videos)) cos they know their game looks seriously ace and is ranked as one of the most wanted mmorpg's to date.

    What was the point of the recent fansite event? What did the fansite people tell all their fans?

  • DerfelCadarnDerfelCadarn Member Posts: 875

    As far as mmorpgs go, they are releasing quite a bit of info- fansites, eq2 boards, the recent event. Its kinda hard to release info on a game that not quite ready. Why would we need to know all about the items and spells anyway?- reading about a lighting spell isnt as fun seeing itimage.

    I really do not need more info on weapons, armor, mobs, ect ect, only thing i might be interested in is a spellist for each class ( so i can pick my class in advance, although i will probably make 1 caracter for each of the 4 main classes).

    I want to be surprised ingame and not pre-game.

  • MegaWolfMegaWolf Member Posts: 425



    I would rather not know anything about the items and what not in the game. That stuff is for the players to find out. All sites with stuff like that, for instance allakhazam.com has info that is recieved from the players. It wouldnt be as fun if you knew everthing because than there wouldnt be much to explore.

    Yeah, nothing has pissed me off more in the past than certain games releasing HUGE chunks of info about different features in their game and then come release those features are nowhere to be seen. Then you get the whole "well, it wasn't ready for launch, it'll be in soon tho" and then "soon" ends up being an expansion 2 years down the road.

    So no, please, don't release info to me until it's finalized, in the game and a definite. As for all the different armors and weapons and such, I prefer to explore and discover those for myself, thats part of the fun of playing afterall. Otherwise I'd just go pick up a console RPG and the strategy guide for it.

    Actually, I would prefer they go ahead and get EQ2 out.  This game has been in development for far too long.  While there is something to the argument of "release it when it's ready," there are reasonable limits to how long a fan base can be expected to wait.
    I don't buy that they're still putting in content.  They have had FIVE YEARS to put in content or at least think about what they want here and there.  I believe there is a big reason that EQ2 is not out at the moment, and I can sum this up in three words:
    OMENS OF WAR
    If the release EQ2 before that LAST EQLive expansion, there's no way the expansion would sell well.
    Just my two coppers.

    5 years is pretty normal for a game to be under development, even more when they are using a new engine.

    I dont really want to know the stats of any armor or the different types. But I think that things like a screenshot of summoned creatures... and some general/little specific description of weapons. EX:

    currently:
    weapon..
    throwing star.
    A small aerodynamic multy-point thrown weapon

    Would be nice if it was:
    weapon..
    throwing star.
    A small aerodynamic multy-point thrown weapon.
    Strong points: Fast and cheap/ can carry many...
    Weak Points: Not much damage.

    Of course the example is just something I chose and I have no idea if those are the strong/weak points but the idea is to get a little more info other than what I can tell from the picture.. cause damn .."A small aerodynamic multy-point thrown weapon" Is kind of assuming you are stupid..

    Well...

     

    It sell better to not give to much information, and make sure that most of this information come second handed, from someone else(a beta tester), especially if you change mind and dont respect what you first say.
