Like, what happens when everyone digged holes everywhere? What happens when everyone is claiming land everywhere? Stuff like that. | ||

They already said, that the damage done to the world won't be permanent (unless it's part of a rallying call i guess). And land claiming isn't part of EQ Next but EQ next landmark. | ||

It's so smart. We'll have to see how interacting with the world will look like but this looks very promising and perhaps even innovative. | ||

From what I understood the EQ:Landmark world will be a huge persistant world with regions similar to EQ:Next (some snowy places, lava etc), players stake a claim on their piece of land and designs it. People then vote over the best creations and the winners gets placed in a fitting region in EQ:Next. | ||

But I feel like this game is going in the wrong direction. Action based combat that doesn't seem to encourage teamwork. Fancy looking acrobatic moves that take away any form of grittiness. I can deal with the art style. I can deal with the typical looking WoW like weapons. However, I can't deal with their class structure. Swappable classes with only a few skills. Skills based on your equipped weapons? Where is my long term fidelity? My choices should matter in regards to my character even more than the world. I only have 100% control of my character, but now I only have 8 choices? I've since recanted the above statement; I got the wrong impression from the stream. I'm very cautiously optimistic. | ||

I only have 100% control of my character, but now I only have 8 choices? Did you miss the part where he said there's 8 classes to start with and 40 discoverable classes out in the world? And you can mix abilities? So if you want to be a shieldbashing rogue with fireballs you can. Class system sounded great. And pretty sure the weapon abilities were just SOME abilities and not all your skills like GW2. Like the polearm grants you whirlwind but you still have all the other class abilities, while greatsword grants you a disarm ability. | ||

Now I'm very cautiously optimistic. As long as the gameplay is teamwork based (and the PCs were obviously invincible so the gameplay we saw wasn't a good example) and I can make long lasting, important decisions for my character I'll feel better about this game. Tying abilities to your equipped weapons sounds odd to me. I hope they are the basic abilies (melee strike, bash, kick,etc.) while the class specific kind of abilities in EQ1 (Harm Touch, Lay on Hands, Backstab, etc.) are class based. | ||
