I'm still going to have hope. I can get over the cartoony graphics if they don't go too overboard with things like huge question marks over NPC's heads and such. The lore and questing/progression system will really determine how I feel, and of course, they talked nothing of it. If nothing else, I was disappointed with today's presentation, not necessarily the game itself.

Nope, I'm pretty enthusiastic about it myself. We're the minority here I guess, in that we don't just want a reskinned EQ1.

You know, all of the reasons people play p99. I do agree, however, that this stuff will probably be dissapointing when revealed as well. The point im trying to make is that the things that have mattered weren't even revealed. I would be pretty ignoramus to state anything is good or sucks at this point in time.

Sorry, I came off too harsh on you. And you have some good points. But to me the Video was just a TOTAL letdown. It just looks like WoW on Warp Drive. No way in hell am I going to play some game with lighting bolts, and fire, and dirt clods, smoke, etc, going all over hell and and back. And toons with weapons and shoulder pads bigger than they are running around like Ninja's.

That stuff appeals to 12 year old kids. But guess what, when EQ first came out most people playing it were 12 year old kids. I can sort of see why they have taken the same route. Its all about the MONEY. But not going to be my money.

I knew it wasn't going to be a remade EQ1 so I wasn't disappointed. From a modern mmo perspective, the game sounds phenomenal compared to what's out there. I'm hoping they make it hard still and take out that get-out-of-the-fire tell graphic. Still eager to see the class design, travel, death, and actual combat UI. I don't have high hopes for meaningful death/travel/combat, but one can sort of hope.

Oh It "has" potential. But its a matter of whether it lives up to it or not. But I think its has to be said that no evidence was given to it living up to the values of Everquest One.

One could even draw conclusions to say that they still view those "values" as weaknesses(having to travel places manually, or a emphasis on group based combat.)

Would be a lot cooler if this thread wasn't about a couple faggots flaming each other.

Yep. Kerrans be looking like retarded Taurens. They showed 1 Animation of the ground being pushed in 10 times in a row with no actual combat. Armor looks horrible. Ive always hated the huge armor look just like eq2/WoW, specially the shoulderpads. Unless alot of things are changed though, it already looks like a huge letdown for me. Cool you can break the enviroment up, and fly, who cares.

The enviroment changing over time is the only thing I liked.

I was hoping particle effects could be turned off and yea more in depth things could have been shown.

That part in the presentation really got to me when he was talking about the "parcour" like world travel (aside from the awful notion of implementing double jumping). "Oh and by the way folks you don't have to press any extra buttons to jump over these objects... the game does it for you!" LoL [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
