Friggin ppl who say everquest 2 is no good

Tomo2109Tomo2109 Member Posts: 100

I hate ppl who say everquest 2 is crap just coz hey cant run it on their friggin hopelessimage comps. Others say that EQ 2 is crap just coz wow is better. Well i've played a beta version of both EQ 2 n WoW but personally i think they are both really good games but i prefer EQ2.

btw am getting a comp with an intel 4 3gig processor, a 1024 meg of ddr sram, geforce fx 5200 256mb g-card. Will i be able to run it on a good graphics setting without lag?

    People don't seem to realize that having an engine that requires top of the line equipment to run it at it's max settings is a good problem to have. Especially if you like the game and plan on playing it for a couple of years. The game looks great on even the performance settings and once you finally can afford to upgrade your compy into something better, the game will only improve graphically with you, instead of being left behind visually like so many MMO's are right now.

    Graphics do not make the game, but if you already like the game, graphics sure do make it a whole lot better.

    An fx 5200 is complete crap. If you get that card you would play eq on minimum settings which looks really bad. Get a 3 ghz p4 or amd 64 with a gig of ram and at least a 9800 pro graphics card.

    wat about a radeon 9200?

  • sifasifa Member Posts: 115
    Any thing less than a 9600pro shouldnt even to used to play eq2

    I hate people like you, sorry i just do.  5200 might not run eq2 great, but its fine if you have no $$$.

    A gig of ram with at LEAST a 9800 pro?  You make me sick

    BTW a fx 5200 is fine, just run gfx on low settings, minimum looks terrible.

    I got a 9800pro 512 mb and 800mhz..... in some places i can run the graphics high.. but i better turn em off if plan on entering qeynos... TO say that i dont know if a lower graphic card will work or not but hey, im running the game on a p3.. how low can I get. Anyways even if a fx5200 isnt good for Eq2, when u gets the money to upgrade to a better video card, it'll be exciting tho finally see what your character looks now. So I say if it runs with a 5200 dont stop playing... lvl up like crazy, then buy the higher video card, you wont regret it image. Cheersimage

    let me tell u something about WoW.

     

    i got this bullshit and there is nothing fun about it.

    alright i agreed its fun when u play for 2-3 week but after its crap

    ppl who say its fun its only because they dont know what is a real good mmorpg

    when u hit lvl 60 what can u do next ? nothing

    and guild is crap to, u cant own something ( village , castle whatever..) so what a guild is for ???

    ok there is guild wars but gl if u try to make 1 its really hard there is no organisation for this.

    so i think WoW suck

    a good mmorpg its not only about how graphic and environment is made

    u can have a mmorpg req a fuckin 32m video card and it can be better then WoW

    i got/getting a intel p4 3ghz processor, 1gig ram, 160 gig ultra hard drive, 256mb geforce fx5200. The only thing tht i think will stop me from high graphics setting is the g-card.

  • warforge1warforge1 Member Posts: 5

    WoW you hate from a single post??? Whatever

    Btw low settings on eq2 look really really bad. You obviously havent played the game for you to recommend that any 1 play it at low settings. image 

  • WickesWickes Member UncommonPosts: 749

    What he said is true.  The minimum setting looks terrible, but the other settings on the low end look quite good.  The FX5200 should be fine.  I am running a 2.4 with 1 gig and a 4200ti with only 64 megs and the game runs quite well.  I get more lag than I would like in crowded city zones, but not terrible really.  I will upgrade one of these days, but for now it's fine.

    I played it with an ATI 9200 and had 0 lag and had almost all the bells and whistles on. ATI 9200 does fine the big thing is really RAM. You need at least 1 gig of ram to play the game without lag.

    Get a better vid card and take a hit in the processor. I.E a 9800 pro, and less than 3ghz intel, whatever makes the price difference

  • Tomo2109Tomo2109 Member Posts: 100

    i cant change the processor speed because the computer is fully made with it + cant customize. I'll go for a geforce 5700 atm and then save up for a 9800 pro

  • ThoemseThoemse Member UncommonPosts: 457

    Lol a 5200 in a 3ghz system. When will people ever learn. ::::29::
    That's like running a 6800 ULTRA Extreme in a 1ghz AMD Duron.

    Sorry but with graphics card EQ2 will look like EQ1.

    2.6ghz AMD 64
    1 gig RAM
    6800 ULTRA @450/1200

    EQ2 still soesn't run nowhere where i want it. the shadows that look like shadows in any other game kill your FPS. Therefore you have to play without shadows wich makes the game look very unrealistic.

    I love the game but the engine is complete pants.

    I had a 5200 and did the cheapest upgrade to a 5700.  A 5700 costs about $100-$125.  I now run the game on balanced in qeynos and higher everywhere else and it looks amazing.  I ran the game on extreme performance until then and still had fun.  You do miss some of the action but it does work.  I agree with one of the earlier posts.  Go ahead and play on your 5200 since you can.  When u can finally upgrade, do it and u will be amazed all over again.  This game is awesome and it only seems to get better with levels.  I have 4 toons at or near level 20 cause I like them all too much to decide on one.  I haven't played WOW, because it looked too cartoonish to me, but I don't care to because I love this game too much.
