You're obviously not asian :P

But seriously, even in WoW there were some levels where I just straight out EQ-style grinded through. Hillsbrad, the naga's there were my secret spot. Easy to kill, fast respawn, I'd just run circuits killing them, think I got 3-4 levels there. Ogres in Feralas, pirates in Tanaris. The only thing that was really sad was killing them 1000x and not getting any unique loot. One spot is as good as the next.

Then it should be about efficiency. In WOW quest grinding is more efficient.

Lusiphur · 11-29-2007, 06:05 AM

And why cant a game support both types of gameplay ?

No wait, WoW does but its for 'Kids' (what happened to the jerking off emote ?). EQ 2 does but it sux etc etc etc ..

The distinction is retarded when it comes up for debate. People should absolutely be able to play the game in the style they prefer. Hating on people who don't is just .. well .. odd.

no, because it was never even close to that way. Epoics didnt get added in until kunark except pally and original release had hundreds if not thousands of quests.

Twobit Whore · 11-29-2007, 07:36 AM

Thousands? No. Original EQ had quests in the dozens. And the ones worth doing could be counted on your fingers.

Neric · 11-29-2007, 07:40 AM

Let's try:

- Orc Belts
- Aviac Charms
- Tumpy Tonic
- Stein of Moggok
- Temple of Solusek Ro armor
- Troll shaman snare necklace (Innoruuk)
- Jboots once they got moved from Najena

Anything else worth to be mentioned?

more like hundreds of broken quests right?

Unless you assholes are counting "quests" like tumpy tonics or bone chips or simple turn in shit like ruby's. Remember when Sol Temple was put in? People were flipping out over "quests" that actually GAVE worthwhile shit.

edit: Sorry Neric, "faction" quests don't count.

What was the shield that was like +12 Wis. Had to kill some random mob in High Hold.

Great shield for low levels, if I remember correctly.

Treant Fists, though I have no idea when that was put in, or if it was in at launch.

Monk sash and headband quests too.

And of course the monk robe quest - that robe of which I forgot the name. The one that you spent hundreds of hours camping Raster of Guk for. Minotaurs... Moooooo.

Twobit Whore · 11-29-2007, 07:59 AM

Robe of the Lost Circle and Testament of Vanear.

Ionsniper · 11-29-2007, 08:02 AM

Soulfire as well. Nothing attracted more people than a pally with Soulfire and full Rubicite.

Venjenz · 11-29-2007, 08:03 AM

I'll give ups to Scott one thing, which is focusing on what other games do well and incorporating that into fixing the game he works on. People gripe that EQ2 has been "WoW-ified" but what's happened is that all of the things that add fun and subtract tedious from WoW have been largely incorporated into EQ2 over time, and that's a good thing. So at least he undertsands the fun part of gaming, but I fear that EQ2 was too far gone into the world of bland to be fully rescued. IMHO, YMMV.

All we can hope for is that he takes that "games should be fun" theory with wherever he goes.

Ah yes. Not a shield. It was the book the Testament of Vanear.

Thanks 2bit

Been so friggin' long, I can't even remember the staples of EQ1, lol.
