imageStorytelling Mode Incoming

The Landmark forum has a new post that should cheer up players mourning the loss of EverQuest Next. A new update is planned that will allow players to create and add characters to claims in order to tell epic stories, participate in adventures, combat or dungeon delving.

Read the full story here

    That doesn't make me happy. That makes me want EQNext even more.

    PS - All mammals have nipples.

    Get over it already.

    Sounds like what they developed with Storybricks had at least some pay off.
  • WizardryWizardry Member LegendaryPosts: 19,332
    lmao this sounds like the exact same system they already had in place in EQ2 from about 2-3 years ago and it never garnered any attention back then either as it was nothing more than a cash shop scam.The idea was that we would go around collecting props for our dungeon and at least to me,i got more annoyed with the added loot garbage filling up my bags.

    I shouldn't be surprised,these guys are trying to rehash old content ideas to generate cash flow with out doing any work or very little work.First splitting H1z1 in two was a complete joke,that is not even good enough to call it one game let alone two lmao.

    I swear Smedley has to still be there churning up these idea.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    This is more along the lines of "we have a pile of stuff left from EQ;N so let´s put it to good use. That way not all the money was wasted." After all if you have working systems why not put them to good use.

    This have been a good conversation

    If they will manage to transform landmark into a complete world creator NPC creator Quest creator well guys we might try and do it ?Right

    They lost me at "EQN shutdown".

    I could care less what they do with Landmark. The toolkit to make EQN is NOT why I supported it's development.

    Another example of DBG just not getting it.

    Unless something changes, props are currently created with materials and chosen from a palette in the UI. You are not required to carry the props around in your inventory.

    Pretty much same thing Blizzard did with Titan and Overwatch.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    They pretty much abandoned Landmark and haven't updated since what, last May? This video looks like it was just thrown together in a hurry so they had something to show. After everything that has happened from cancelling EQN(which is why many people went for Landmark) to what I mentioned in the first sentence I wasn't even sure if I was interested for free and now they changed it from f2p to 10 bucks.. smh. Honestly Daybreak messed up royally and I'm not even interested if it was still free 2 play.

    Reminds me of my roommate scrambling to put together a sub-par presentation of the semester-long project he never worked on. It'll be shit, but at least they'll get a C

    Who cares, woot, I went there.

    EQ3 please, never like EQN or the idea of it anyway. Good news to me.
  • rojoArcueidrojoArcueid Member EpicPosts: 10,722
    i wonder who else will be interested in paying for beta access for Landmark after canceling EQN ..... I know i'm glad i didn't.

    Not really, at least not yet, since combat is not storytelling :wink:  Based on the notes it's more like Dungeon Keeper was.
    So yep, I wouldn't say this qualifies as "tell epic stories, participate in adventures", or something similar to either Foundries, in its current form.
    If there will be a plot system, NPC interaction / convo mechanics, operable items and trigger functions (more elaborate than the simple "kill da monsta"), etc., then it will be a story-telling tool indeed.

    Anyways, a nice direction, haven't played Landmark since months, but I'll check back maybe, Dungeon Keeper was cool.
  • ReizlaReizla Member RarePosts: 4,092
    So basically, DBG ditched EQN, hasn't been overly active on Landmark since the SOE take over and now they'll let players make the content that DBG isn't going to make for the game...

    Damn, I should start making MMOs this waya s well. Deliver a half baked product, let players add content and get paid very well for it!
  • LobotomistLobotomist Member EpicPosts: 5,981
    We decided to trash the game development. So no quests or anything. But here you can put npc objects and we will call it adventure mode.



  • epoqepoq Member UncommonPosts: 394
    Pretty sure this game will DIE. They are still accountable to the players who bought Landmark for the SOLE PURPOSE of helping to create EQNext content.......but since that's been cancelled, this will go the way of the dinosaurs itself sooner or later. DBG seems to be off to a wonderful start. Just a matter of time before it dissolves and is picked up by someone else and they start all over again. For anyone who was expecting a new EQ style game it's all in the hands of Brad McQuaid now...WOMP WOMP WOMP. Maybe he'll deliver this time, though.
