I really wish their character designs could match up to the rest of their artwork. I like them, but the whole world and mobs looks so immersive and great, but a few of the characters and their movements (animations) looks quite awckward. I also wish those huge demons attacked faster.

Besides that, the game looks fantastic. Just work on that Char animations (mainly the walking) and designs (mainly the rubber skin look and unnatural hair) please.

I would look foward to EQII if they would just fix the retarded monkey look of their characters.

I cannot play a game where I don't even remotely like the look of my character. =(

I like it more and more as I see more videos released. It has my attention and I will give eq2 a chance. Looking forward to it..

Why, aren't they just recycling the same fotage over and over again for each "new" video? Though, I will admit, the water does look pretty decent.

seeing the videos make the world not seem as bland as screenshots do which is good. Characters still need work, look decent but could be alot better still. They do have me on the hook to check it out as does wow. Somehow I get the feeling neither will be competely mouthwatering 5+ years of gaming tho

I like the world and mobs, and some of the character models, but they still need work. I guess my biggest problem, like everyone else, is with the animations. I like mob animations, just not characters.

Seems like they should know this. I can't understand why they are having a hard time getting it right when they do great on other parts.

Cool video, very inviting press talk they gave. The part bragging about the artists was amusing though.

I'll have an opinion when I hear the beta reports.

By the by, why haven't I heard any beta reports? If I can download the doom alpha 1.5-2 years ago, I should've heard beta reports!

Sorran · 08-01-2004, 06:29 PM

Because there's an NDA and I suspect SOE is being very, very strict about enforcing it (made easier by the fact that there are only 600 or so people in the Beta at the moment, and every single one of those people is either an employee of SOE or a friend or family member thereof).

I'm sure that once the Beta opens up to the Legends, LoE and general applicant folks I'd guess it's probably inevitable that a bit more info will leak out. However, I doubt we'll see large amounts of information until the day the NDA is lifted.

Cheers,

Sorran.

The more EQ2 info I see posted the better and better it's looking. Graphics wise I really enjoy the look of EQ2 and Vanguard (i.e., more realistic looking).

Although, like everyone else, I've felt the "sting" of SoE's business practice, I can't help but confess, I'm looking more and more forward to buying and playing this game.

Riht · 08-01-2004, 10:09 PM

I agree about the graphics of Vanguard/EQ2, they're definetly more my cup of tea. At first I was somewhat unexcited about the lower raid size for large encounters (since I had just finished with EQ's huge raids), but now the smaller size seems more appealling.

I'm definitely not an EQ 2 hater and I'll probably end up buying it and trying it out when it comes out but I agree, they need to rework on those character models, as well as their animations. The environment looks impressive and quite beautiful. The mobs kick ass. Just the character models...

Kodylan · 08-02-2004, 01:10 AM

I'll probably buy it now just to try it out. I just hope there isn't a design trend of using the same old rehashed shit every single encounter like they're doing with the videos.
