I missed the broadcast. Is there anyway to watch it?

Click Twitch link. At top-right of Twitch side area is a tab that has "Videos" as an option. Select that and you can watch all past videos.

Or click this, I suppose: http://kotaku.com/two-astounding-new...-de-1002721647

I hear a lot of bemoaning about multi-classing and how it homogenizes the player-base but I wonder how many people play a ranger here on P99? Okay, now how many play a monk, instead?

See what I'm getting at? I mean, really.

hopefully they listen to feedback from the beta. if any real eq'ers got access, they better suggest turning the rings off. someone give me a buddy key plox

I don't care for min/maxing in any game, and if I end up playing EQNext I'll pick my class for RP reasons.

EDIT: More options is always better for RP.

In EQ, mobs will rape you. You can't go barreling into a room full of mobs and do a whirlwind, spam your abilities, and they all die.

Unless you severely outlevel or outgear the content, you will get raped unless you use some strategy, or cooperate with other players. You need to CC, slow, attempt to single pull, etc. Difficult content forces interaction, or at least some level of planning/strategy.

Having to interact with other people to get something done is a lot more fun and fulfilling, in my opinion, than watching my avatar bash some harmless mob into the ground with a billion particle effects and huge numbers. I don't want this game to be Socially-Augmented-Single Player, I want to to be Massively Multiplayer, with a community, reputation, etc etc.

I think it's also safe to say with multiclassing (everyone doing everything) you can pretty much forget any sort of class specific thing that others players will rely on you for


No more needing to find a druid or wizard for a port, no more needing to find a necro to summon a corpse, no more needing to find a cleric to rez..

just do it all yourself after you click a few change templates buttons

See a lot of Rangers and Wizards lately?

Not sure what your point is.

You say this, but The Secret World proves you wrong pretty spectacularly.

People still play that shit?

They showed the combat/gameplay you fuck-stick

Sure they showed a couple of devs running on gm created and pre-skilled classes. Your inability to see past this is laughable. Everything they have revealed has not truly shown the harshness of fighting something against your skill level, the group mechanics, the penalties for death, travel, etc.

Go back to rnf, maybe learn some things before comming in here and shitting up a thread with unintelligent statements.
