Just think this way, EQ2 should released one year later. This game still in beta. Any game with limit on player's side considering as bad design because a good game should be able to allow players to play with maximum fun. How terrible is EQ2? They limited every steps. It is okay but not really okay to accept if they limited on hunting experiences. Worst than that is they limited on crafting level. In most people's knowlegements, we know we need more practices to be successful in crafting. But this knowledgement is not for EQ2. Do you think if you crafting the same item for 1 million times then you would be succesful? NO. Your success is not based on how skillful and how many times you learned from crafting. EQ2 is controlling the level and decided when and how you are going to level up. This is really tricky.
I just read that entire thing and have no idea what you just said other then you feel the game is buggy. And exactly WHAT bugs are you talking about?
Hmm hard to understand his post too.
I am guessing he is referring to making pristine items aka best quality.
Well here is the scenario if you use the primary item as a pristine and use your buffs(which are in the game to prevent macro afk crafting which you would only like if you suppost macroing) then you will on most occasions produce pristine of that item UNLESS the item is 2-3 levels higher then your crafting skills which then reduces the chances but still can make pristine.
Only armorsmith crafting buffs were broken and that got fixed after new year so i am knocking out pristine as an level 29 armorsmith easy.
As a 31 jeweler it is rare for me not to make pristine .If you did not buff or used a poor quality primary item then thats your fault really,Crafting in EQ2 is not meant for macroing and afk its meant for you to control your creation and the quality by been actually there buffing and countering failures.
As a jeweler i havve encounter NO bugs at all.
Maybe he should have actually read about crafting in EQ2 rather then craft like the usual way.
And yes larry you should list bugs if you decide to reinforce your critism otherwise your post is not worth anything.
Also might i add i can list at least 10 bugs in every new mmorpg i have ever played and i played so many.So if you pick a new mmorpg and say oh its gonna be bug free(note even old ones are not bug free) i suggest you give up mmorpg to begin with.
So really unless you can list bugs that makes it unplayable for you then sorry again a worthless trolling post.
Might not be what he meant but have trouble understanding larry2298 honestly as apparently do others.
So you made pristine item at level 31. I am talking about Level 6 crafting for the most basic recipes from Lv3-Lv9. Is there any way to make pristine quality? I don't think so. How do I craft anything if I was not even able to make pristine quality for those basic recipes? It is because the game block our tradeskill level simple as that.
Besides, the buff is useless. I got -50 from the very beginning before I can see any evenet came out. How to use buff if you don't know the event? Then -50 again, then another -50. If you click on one of three incorrectly coresponding to the unknown event then you may get worse result than -50.
Then I saw the event but with 3 x -50 makes it useless to buff anymore. Right after that event followed up another 3x -50. Buff is not anymore the way to crafting, buff is basically the way to avoid the damages.
Anti-macroing is not my business, SOE shouldn't create macro then find an excuse to say this is to preventing macro or bot.
If you really want me to say about bugs in EQ2. The bugs I meant are not really bugs, they are flaws in game design.
I will say one of the most important bug is the mob jump to your spot during fighting. Some people said this is because of anti-kiting. I see this is as a bug. How am I supposed to fight anything appeared at the same spot like me? And, if I fight a giant bear, I can't see my character on the screen sometimes. Most times, the mob and my character are corssover each other. This is really not a fighting I have ever played in any other game.
Second major bug or flaw is the grpahics are not precisely made in 3D. The height and the disctance are lose its precision. This is one of the reason why the mod jump to my spot because the mob supposed they are standing at their own postition on the map. And, the eagle carrier fly in Antonica map, it never able to drop passenger on the platform correctly. It is also due to the graphics is not precise.
Third bug or design fault. Color coding. The mob have a guarantee hit damage. It means that no matter how good you are but the mob will hit you with certain damages. There are many times I can overbeat a mob but then the mob mess around and appeared on my spot, all of a sudden, without seeing how we fight but I got certain damages. This is related to the second bugs.
Fourth bug: this game is mainly cap on class and level. When I hit Level 20 and I got Beserker class just before I click on the beserker new skill display in green cross ICON, I met a Winstalker Huking Wolf, I was not able to kill it but killed by the wolf. The wolf is Level 20 and I supposed to kill it. After I click on the new beserker icon then I can kill the wolf. It means that this game is controlled by level and class as well as crafting. The game considers I was a low level trying to fight high level wolf so the wolf have a guarantee to win the battle.
The armor is still a mystery in EQ2. There is no way to tell how much you can defend from your armors. I had a medium type armor with armor class rating 90 with 4 or 5 magic effects, but the color turn green to me. And I have another armor rating 60 without any magic effect but the color turn yellow to me. Which one is better?
Based on the EQ2 color coding, the yellow armor suits me. Why? I may know a little bit about it.
Because EQ2 divided everything in levels and classes. The AR90 armor are obtainable from lower level mob or quest whatever, therefore, it is only suitable to use for that level. The AR60 armor is obtainable from higher level, therefore, it suits me better while I progess to higher level.
So how about the armor rating? Should AR90 armor more defensive than AR60 armor or not?
I may know a little about this.
This game preset and pre-arranged everything by class and level in use. everything you get are no unique including your own crafting. It means the AR90 armor only suitable to use in lower level. The armor rating is designed only for certain levels. First thing to learn to play EQ2 is their color codes. This makes the armor rating not practical enough because your armor rating lose its value to different mobs.
Fifth major bug. The animation and real action has big lag in between. There are many examples here. 1) Many times when you see the damage on screen but you don't see the animation either on how you hit or how you get hit. 2) After you finished harvesting, you start running again but the server cannot catch up this action so you can see you are floating forward on the ground. 3) You do not see the other player's animation when they are harvesting. Because of such lags makes the PvP impossible in EQ2.
Because you cannot see the real time action corresponding to every second.
And all these five bugs are not resolvable. Now, SOE can add number on the armor but it only help to understand the armor type. Still it doesn't change anything.
Hmm i actually thought you crafted past level 6 larry so guess i made a long post which you would not understand sorry and was really a waste of my time.
Level 6 is what 30 mins play after doing the newbie quest in crafting.I know i hit level 10 in less then one day and by then i still had so little knowledge of what craftng was about.Talk less of at level 6.
Hmm.sorry but thought you crafted till at least 20 to debate or comment on crafting .
So not replying with a long post anymore as its a waste of typing .Get to level 20 in a craft skill and re open the thread and i be happy to discuss it with you.At that low level is pointless you are basically at the total beginning of crafting.
I am just alking about one of my crafter. If you want to know more about the EQ2 crafting then you have to know it from the very beginning. I don't want to miss a thing in crafting therefore, I crafting everything and every recipes I have.
You may know more about EQ2 crafting if you did that. I don't see any reason to bypass the IoR so quickly to jump to Qeynos.
Don't forget, the recipes you learned from IoR are crossover all class platforms and they are most basics to start with. For example, LV7 threadbare armors like caps, shoulder pad, wrist guard, boots, gloves. You don't get any magic effects on those with 3rd bar quality, only with pristine quality. But LV6 leather armors you will get magic effects. Strange enough, I don't get magic effects on leather boots and gloves with pristine quality.
I will make it short here, artisan is also a crafter and recipes from LV3-LV9 are also recipes. What's wrong with it? Why I should bypass these recipes and jump to the latter?
Why we cannot craft good with these recipes? If we cannot craft good then it is better for us to choose the class at the very beginning. Don't waste our time doing the garbage crafting which will never succeed.
The most irritating thing happened to me is that SOE nerf my tradeskill after I moved over to Qeynos.
Do you know how long it takes to max out your tradeskill from Level 36 to Level 52?
They scaled back my stats from level 52 to Level 47. My time is piss off with such nerf.
I just bought EQ2. At first I was really excited. The graphics where spectacular, the sound was great (i have 5.1), and the gameplay was ok. After a while I started getting bored, hitting the same things over and over again, when will I see some real action kinda deal.... So I keep playing and still the same.... Soooooooooo..... I click on my start button, I point to programs, I point to Anarchy Online and launch the game. 5 Minutes later I'm happy again. I spent 115 dollars on EQ2 today, including the 90 game card. I don't know if I will be playing that long and am actually thinking of selling the account. I really hope that next time a developer comes out with a game, they think of the game being fun and entertaining, as well as beautiful. Perfect example: Guild Wars. Nuff said, Everquest 2 is going in the vault.
While I was pretty rude when I said you were clueless, the fact remains that the majority of your problems stem from you not knowing what you're doing. You don't have to wait for an event to buff, in fact if you are then that would explain the lack of pristine. If you right click on the buff you will see what each one does, the benefit and possible negative effect of each one.
As far as the equipemt colors, this is the same problem that's in a lot of game. In Diablo II for instance there are lower level weapons that are better than higher level ones. It has to do with the rating system, and none of them are perfect. There are a lot of factors determining what level each piece of equipment should be.
I have to say I've never had a mob teleport to me like you are talking about. Sometimes they chase me for an hour or so, but never had them appear right on top of me (except for the invisible Gnolls in BB). I would say this is due more to lag than an actual game flaw.
The fact that the Griffon can't land on the platform has nothing to do with the graphics (or more accurately the clipping) it has to do with the guy that landed in front of you not moving from the platform.
I think you should spend a little more time on the official forums learning about the game so you understand why things are the way they are and what is actually happening.
And you won't read this report elsewhere but here.
The fact that the Griffon can't land on the platform has nothing to do with the graphics (or more accurately the clipping) it has to do with the guy that landed in front of you not moving from the platform.
That's the most funiest excuse I have ever heard from a EQ2 fanboi.
And someone took this picture when I flirt with the bear. Actually I was under the damage number, right in the rear side of the bear. Be awared, this is an adult picture. You must over 18 to click on the following link. Are your age over 18?
I dont care if WoW has a good rating, the game sucks just as bad as EQ2.
If EQ2 had PvP it would be 30% better but still be amateur as far as programming and design.
Heck SWG has fireworks, that alone makes SWG better then EQ2.
Seriously, what is there fun to do in EQ2? The mobs do not have good graphics, just the terrain and avatars do.
The combat system is fun? Spam spell, Spam spell, cmon recharge you pos, Spam spell. All while your standing in one spot and saying wtf healer spam your heal you newb.
Wow combat in EQ2 is so fun. Hmm.
I love killing 10 swamp rats for no rhyme or reason. Wow for a name of a game that is called everquest the quests sure are amatuer.
Story of Norrath and the races? Hmm I dont know about you but those stupid talking NPC's talk so sloooooooooooow and boring like. Anyways I didnt think the whole story is very good. the little that I listen to, it just didnt register in my head as important.
At least in SWG you could goto the cantina and watch hot chicks dance. In EQ2 you have dwarfs.... nice. Me so horny. Really why would you want to play a rat? Or a cat? Or a lizard? Are you a lizard, cat, or rat? Do you think it fun to run around acting like one for 14$ a month? Not something I would want to do personally.
What is unique with EQ2? Minor things.
Crafting? Nice and all but in order to be a good crafter you have to play the boring adventuring side. I do like to craft. But in EQ2 it is just pointless to get into it.
Faction systems? Yeah in beta there was all this hoopla about "Heads up beta testers the faction system is coming soon, sorry we didnt have it ready for the last stage of beta even though it was a major feature to the game. we are lame". Then when it came, we were all like wtf what faction system? There is no real faction system in EQ2. Not what we were expecting, and it is half assed and pointless.
Qeynos and Freeport? Umm yeah so you have Qeynos and Freeport. Thats nice and all but we want some point in the whole Qeynos and Freeport deal. Slackers.
Hi my name is John Smedley and I am EQ2 producer and we are so happy to be bringing you this great game, btw I didnt graduate from college, coudlnt program to save my life, and have never talked about a topic in depth to prove my intelligence to anybody. In fact I just make official looking announcements and let the programmers and artists do whatever the hell they want. I just sit there and check out human female mages on my bigscreen, because I get paid 500,000 a year to be an underachiever.
Hi my name is designer #45678990 we are sorry this quest is broken, we never reallly tested them. We just wanted to get as many quests into the game because we did jackall in beta and really just wanted to make some money and get some subscribers and hope we can develop it. The quests were just placeholders.
Hi my name is designer #928359264 and I am the lead desginer. I have never played a pencil and paper RPG with anybody who was ever any good at it. I played D&D and it was way too smart for me, and my gamemaster was a retard. So be patient with me while I try to learn all of this stuff, it is overwhelming.
This game is not about roleplaying, immersion or story, it is about boring quests and leveling and killing scripted wolves in the forst and walking rat people over and over and over and over again until you get so sick of seeing the stupid map with just a bunch of lame stupid mobs all over. What is fun about killing something that doesnt think or do anything new ever.
Eq2 would be more fun if they gave us all a bot, that ran around and killed things over and over. That is what EQ2 is. We could just sit back and watch it go. And say wow look at that spell, isnt it beatiful. Wow look at the poor cartoon wolf died poor wolf. I dont think the wolf was threatening Qeynos, but I had to kill it for some reason. Maybe wolf pie for ms wolfpiebaker.
Oh damn I ran out of things to talk about in EQ2 because I already covered all of its features. Crafting. Questing, and Lame mob slaying.
But oh we have houses! Yes! Decorating my house that costs 1 billion gold that I have to slave killing wolf's for. Damn. There goes that idea.
Yeah but EQ2 is such a good game you forgot guilds! Yes! Guilds! The savior of EQ2! I mean we can all group together and say wow, look at us we are so cool! And if we kill 3billion1million242thousandand11 wolf's we get some cool guild armor that sucks more then the stuff we can get from killing 3trillion422thousandand17 rats in the dungeon we need to do 15thousand quests to unlock.
And we can sit there and say well at least we have roleplaying, that is fun. I mean I am a wizard! Then all you see is Global chat spam "looking for group to do XP grinding" "17/f/newyork and level 2 druid LFG" and "Looking for group to do quest x, the one you all have done 1000 times". And then you say well there goes the roleplaying.
Yeah and in SWG we had fireworks.
I am a level 14 Wizard in EQ2. Why cant I send a beam of light into the sky and make some sort of light show? Nah anything that actually is entertaining is not allowed in EQ2.
Bards dont sing either in EQ2. They just buff you. Im not sure how since they dont sing, but they give good buffs.
Oh and the fighters really dont hurt the monsters, they seem to throw sissy punches until the monster dies.
Oh and you can actually swing your wizard staff THROUGH your group member and hit the monster. In fact everyone can stand around 1 monster and all swing their swords and never hit each other. That is awesome, I have some sort of uber weapon that is able to pass through solid objects. Pff who says I am paying 14.99$ for nothing.
And this stupid Freeport ugly looking dood was talking trash saying my Quenn and city was going to die and stuff. What can I do about it nothing. There is an /ignore feature that you can use out of character to ignore someone. No dueling, no pvp, nothing but beating rats.
And I seen some people in Starcrest Commune playing baord games and people walking around drunk and stuff. Can I play board games in EQ2 with other players? No. Can I get drunk and play drinking games to see who the last man standing is for the heck of it, since there is nothing else to do. Nope. That would be fun and entertaining, EQ2 is a second job you fools *smedley laughs menecingly*.
Smedley is back and he has something to say. "Dear EQ2 community, in 6 months we wwill release adventure packs and in a year we will be releeasing our first expansion. They will be unlike anything ever done before. So please keep sending us your money, and we promise you will be dissapointed. But who cares we would of already leeched you for a years subscription. It wont be unique, it wont be unlike anything ever seen before. It will be some new zones, some new quests for you to slave through, and maybe we will make some different colored monsters to mix it up a bit. Thanks for your patience while we learn how to use photoshop so we can change the colors of the mob and call it an expansion -smedley out".
Oh and btw this game was actually supposed to be a patch for Everquest to revamp it graphics, but we decided to do a make a whole new game. We used all the money you sent us to develop EQ and made EQ2. WE figured you woudlnt be pissed if we charged you 50$ and another 14$ a month.
And really sorry that the amount of things you can do in EQ2 is so limited. If you dont like grouping up and killing things, then sorry the community will troll you *cough developer alt characters* and you should go play another game. God forbid they have to work and actually put some intelliigence effort and skill into developing this game.
Oh and our designer is still trying to figure out how to balance everything. His chart got cofffee spilled on it, and he was never really qualified anyways, and blah blah this is so complicated that I cant manage anything, heck I can barely store phone numbers in my electronic rolodex.
We hired programmers from korea so instead of going to college we decided to outsource it for pennies. I mean Sony is a chinese company anyways. It was only natural to have chinese programmers. Sorry that this chinese game does not appeal to Americans. They didnt really put any effort in it anyways, all of the good chinese programmers were forced into jobs by their communist government and werent available to entertain the American public, sorry.
And all the good american programmers are too busy making cheats for Counterstrike and Half life and hacking punkbuster. And they live in America, they are sitting at their computers stuffing their faces, and could really give two shits about putting any effort into making a computer game. They would rather make targeting systems to blow up Islamic people. Cant blame them, but its surprising noone is willing to step up to the plate.
Fact is I could make a game better then EQ2 by myself. Which is why I really do pity the EQ2 developers. Their product is a joke.
And I understand alot of young people like WoW> I would of probably like it when I was 12 too, at least I would of tried it. But im 22, and I can realize the game sucks just as badas EQ2. It suffers from everything EQ2 suffers from.
Blah blah www.cplusplus.com for c++ and http://msdn.microsoft.com for visual studio and directx I suggest SOE starts learning. Or at least hiring qualified people and not just some veterans that managed to make a sucky game 1000 years ago everyone liked.
Oh thank God, I thought you were serious. I finally got the joke when you were trying to say SWG is better than EQ2 BWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Wow, for hating the game so much you sure do love to write almost page long reviews about it. I think it's funny you wrote a screen full of garbage that nobodys going to read. What a waste of your time. I bet you really poured your heart out writing all that. Sadly for you nobody cares enough to even get through the first paragraph.
I think it's kinda sad you have time to write page long reviews about games you hate. Oh, oops. I better watch it or you might threaten me over the interent again.
Hey remeber when you said "Got something to say, I live in Rhode Isalnd, if you live within a 100 miles put up or shttup."? I will always remember that when I read your posts. Thanks for the laughs r1tual.
Perosnally I'm glad he hates it. It makes me feel better about my decision to play this game above all others, and feel better about myself to know, I like games people like him don't. I mean if he liked it, I might start having doubts about myself

The fact that the Griffon can't land on the platform has nothing to do with the graphics (or more accurately the clipping) it has to do with the guy that landed in front of you not moving from the platform.
I think you should spend a little more time on the official forums learning about the game so you understand why things are the way they are and what is actually happening.
I haven't finish the bug report yet.
And you won't read this report elsewhere but here.

That's the most funiest excuse I have ever heard from a EQ2 fanboi.

I cant beleive how stupid most of you are.
EQ2 sucks. WoW sucks, but at least WoW has PvP.
I dont care if WoW has a good rating, the game sucks just as bad as EQ2.
If EQ2 had PvP it would be 30% better but still be amateur as far as programming and design.
Heck SWG has fireworks, that alone makes SWG better then EQ2.
Seriously, what is there fun to do in EQ2? The mobs do not have good graphics, just the terrain and avatars do.
The combat system is fun? Spam spell, Spam spell, cmon recharge you pos, Spam spell. All while your standing in one spot and saying wtf healer spam your heal you newb.
Wow combat in EQ2 is so fun. Hmm.
I love killing 10 swamp rats for no rhyme or reason. Wow for a name of a game that is called everquest the quests sure are amatuer.
Story of Norrath and the races? Hmm I dont know about you but those stupid talking NPC's talk so sloooooooooooow and boring like. Anyways I didnt think the whole story is very good. the little that I listen to, it just didnt register in my head as important.
At least in SWG you could goto the cantina and watch hot chicks dance. In EQ2 you have dwarfs.... nice. Me so horny. Really why would you want to play a rat? Or a cat? Or a lizard? Are you a lizard, cat, or rat? Do you think it fun to run around acting like one for 14$ a month? Not something I would want to do personally.
What is unique with EQ2? Minor things.
Crafting? Nice and all but in order to be a good crafter you have to play the boring adventuring side. I do like to craft. But in EQ2 it is just pointless to get into it.
Faction systems? Yeah in beta there was all this hoopla about "Heads up beta testers the faction system is coming soon, sorry we didnt have it ready for the last stage of beta even though it was a major feature to the game. we are lame". Then when it came, we were all like wtf what faction system? There is no real faction system in EQ2. Not what we were expecting, and it is half assed and pointless.
Qeynos and Freeport? Umm yeah so you have Qeynos and Freeport. Thats nice and all but we want some point in the whole Qeynos and Freeport deal. Slackers.
Hi my name is John Smedley and I am EQ2 producer and we are so happy to be bringing you this great game, btw I didnt graduate from college, coudlnt program to save my life, and have never talked about a topic in depth to prove my intelligence to anybody. In fact I just make official looking announcements and let the programmers and artists do whatever the hell they want. I just sit there and check out human female mages on my bigscreen, because I get paid 500,000 a year to be an underachiever.
Hi my name is designer #45678990 we are sorry this quest is broken, we never reallly tested them. We just wanted to get as many quests into the game because we did jackall in beta and really just wanted to make some money and get some subscribers and hope we can develop it. The quests were just placeholders.
Hi my name is designer #928359264 and I am the lead desginer. I have never played a pencil and paper RPG with anybody who was ever any good at it. I played D&D and it was way too smart for me, and my gamemaster was a retard. So be patient with me while I try to learn all of this stuff, it is overwhelming.
This game is not about roleplaying, immersion or story, it is about boring quests and leveling and killing scripted wolves in the forst and walking rat people over and over and over and over again until you get so sick of seeing the stupid map with just a bunch of lame stupid mobs all over. What is fun about killing something that doesnt think or do anything new ever.
poor wolf. I dont think the wolf was threatening Qeynos, but I had to kill it for some reason. Maybe wolf pie for ms wolfpiebaker.
Eq2 would be more fun if they gave us all a bot, that ran around and killed things over and over. That is what EQ2 is. We could just sit back and watch it go. And say wow look at that spell, isnt it beatiful. Wow look at the poor cartoon wolf died
Oh damn I ran out of things to talk about in EQ2 because I already covered all of its features. Crafting. Questing, and Lame mob slaying.
But oh we have houses! Yes! Decorating my house that costs 1 billion gold that I have to slave killing wolf's for. Damn. There goes that idea.
Yeah but EQ2 is such a good game you forgot guilds! Yes! Guilds! The savior of EQ2! I mean we can all group together and say wow, look at us we are so cool! And if we kill 3billion1million242thousandand11 wolf's we get some cool guild armor that sucks more then the stuff we can get from killing 3trillion422thousandand17 rats in the dungeon we need to do 15thousand quests to unlock.
And we can sit there and say well at least we have roleplaying, that is fun. I mean I am a wizard! Then all you see is Global chat spam "looking for group to do XP grinding" "17/f/newyork and level 2 druid LFG" and "Looking for group to do quest x, the one you all have done 1000 times". And then you say well there goes the roleplaying.
Yeah and in SWG we had fireworks.
I am a level 14 Wizard in EQ2. Why cant I send a beam of light into the sky and make some sort of light show? Nah anything that actually is entertaining is not allowed in EQ2.
Bards dont sing either in EQ2. They just buff you. Im not sure how since they dont sing, but they give good buffs.
Oh and the fighters really dont hurt the monsters, they seem to throw sissy punches until the monster dies.
Oh and you can actually swing your wizard staff THROUGH your group member and hit the monster. In fact everyone can stand around 1 monster and all swing their swords and never hit each other. That is awesome, I have some sort of uber weapon that is able to pass through solid objects. Pff who says I am paying 14.99$ for nothing.
And this stupid Freeport ugly looking dood was talking trash saying my Quenn and city was going to die and stuff. What can I do about it nothing. There is an /ignore feature that you can use out of character to ignore someone. No dueling, no pvp, nothing but beating rats.
And I seen some people in Starcrest Commune playing baord games and people walking around drunk and stuff. Can I play board games in EQ2 with other players? No. Can I get drunk and play drinking games to see who the last man standing is for the heck of it, since there is nothing else to do. Nope. That would be fun and entertaining, EQ2 is a second job you fools *smedley laughs menecingly*.
Smedley is back and he has something to say. "Dear EQ2 community, in 6 months we wwill release adventure packs and in a year we will be releeasing our first expansion. They will be unlike anything ever done before. So please keep sending us your money, and we promise you will be dissapointed. But who cares we would of already leeched you for a years subscription. It wont be unique, it wont be unlike anything ever seen before. It will be some new zones, some new quests for you to slave through, and maybe we will make some different colored monsters to mix it up a bit. Thanks for your patience while we learn how to use photoshop so we can change the colors of the mob and call it an expansion -smedley out".
Oh and btw this game was actually supposed to be a patch for Everquest to revamp it graphics, but we decided to do a make a whole new game. We used all the money you sent us to develop EQ and made EQ2. WE figured you woudlnt be pissed if we charged you 50$ and another 14$ a month.
And really sorry that the amount of things you can do in EQ2 is so limited. If you dont like grouping up and killing things, then sorry the community will troll you *cough developer alt characters* and you should go play another game. God forbid they have to work and actually put some intelliigence effort and skill into developing this game.
Oh and our designer is still trying to figure out how to balance everything. His chart got cofffee spilled on it, and he was never really qualified anyways, and blah blah this is so complicated that I cant manage anything, heck I can barely store phone numbers in my electronic rolodex.
We hired programmers from korea so instead of going to college we decided to outsource it for pennies. I mean Sony is a chinese company anyways. It was only natural to have chinese programmers. Sorry that this chinese game does not appeal to Americans. They didnt really put any effort in it anyways, all of the good chinese programmers were forced into jobs by their communist government and werent available to entertain the American public, sorry.
And all the good american programmers are too busy making cheats for Counterstrike and Half life and hacking punkbuster. And they live in America, they are sitting at their computers stuffing their faces, and could really give two shits about putting any effort into making a computer game. They would rather make targeting systems to blow up Islamic people. Cant blame them, but its surprising noone is willing to step up to the plate.
Fact is I could make a game better then EQ2 by myself. Which is why I really do pity the EQ2 developers. Their product is a joke.
And I understand alot of young people like WoW> I would of probably like it when I was 12 too, at least I would of tried it. But im 22, and I can realize the game sucks just as badas EQ2. It suffers from everything EQ2 suffers from.
Blah blah www.cplusplus.com for c++ and http://msdn.microsoft.com for visual studio and directx I suggest SOE starts learning. Or at least hiring qualified people and not just some veterans that managed to make a sucky game 1000 years ago everyone liked.
Oh thank God, I thought you were serious. I finally got the joke when you were trying to say SWG is better than EQ2 BWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
That's a good one.
Wasnt a joke.
SWG IS BETTER THEN EQ2. That's how boring and how much this game sucks.
Wow, for hating the game so much you sure do love to write almost page long reviews about it. I think it's funny you wrote a screen full of garbage that nobodys going to read. What a waste of your time. I bet you really poured your heart out writing all that. Sadly for you nobody cares enough to even get through the first paragraph.
I think it's kinda sad you have time to write page long reviews about games you hate. Oh, oops. I better watch it or you might threaten me over the interent again.
Hey remeber when you said "Got something to say, I live in Rhode Isalnd, if you live within a 100 miles put up or shttup."? I will always remember that when I read your posts. Thanks for the laughs r1tual.
Perosnally I'm glad he hates it. It makes me feel better about my decision to play this game above all others, and feel better about myself to know, I like games people like him don't. I mean if he liked it, I might start having doubts about myself
i want my 5 minutes back from reading that crap and i want it now
