my opinion on stuff

I realy think that SoE purposly left out content to keep us playin, because without Xcontent or with eventX being bugged in a way we where not experiencing the full EQ. only part of it.

so we stayed thinking how much better EQ will be when they finaly put in ZoneX or eventX or fix BugX.

but now they are not doing that. they are actualy trying to put in everything the way its supose to be. and thats hurting the "Addiction". we see whats ahead. we know there is no new content. and if there is its not much.

Plane of Time is like the end of any console RPG. 90% of the fun is getting there. even if they make the fixes in PoT that everyone wants. so what? they can have zeb team up with kerafrym and fight you and Veeshan. but what would be the point? sure it wouldbe cool to see it once. but after that what do you do.

the game has always been to kill mobs to get better loot so you can kill harder mobs to get even better loot. even if PoT events where fixed and you could raid with the #'s you wanted to.and each item that droped was 200ac with god stats. what are you going to use them for after Time? nothing. there is nothing else...yet.

There has to be somthing to look forward to after PoT or the game is pointless. if its just the social aspect then we can all log on and go to PoTranq and go Cliff Diving off the zone in to PoA and talk story all day.


we need something to look forward to. to know that there is something else.

just my 2cents.

Hmmmm

PoT might be the end for higher lvl zones it might not be. time is just a theroy. Also i was thinking since plane of war is in the files but so far not in game. mabie plane of time is a way to go to the past to plane of war to take down the big man him self from getting into plane of time. you think the rathe stopped him hahaha! they want to twist the story and make you do it course thats just a theory. New expansions and zones. i think they will finish what they started in norrath all the zones on the map but not in game. after that im not sure. mabie next time you play a game though. try not and move through it so damn fast as to destroy the fun of it.

Cliff diving off the PoAir zone-in in tranquility is the best thing in PoP.

Hi,

They need an expansion of only dynamic well thought out but not tedious great quests that require tough strategic battles with 3-4 groups of lvl 65's in massive intricate deadly dungeons without bloody keys.

I doubt Verant cares too much if a guild here or there quits. The Uber guilds have really nothing to gain from "winning" PoT. The drops will have 10% more hitpoints then whatever they are wearing already and some focus effect they randomly pull out their ass.

Uber guilds got the good crap allready over the years. There will be an endless push when the Ubers leave 2nd tier Guilds will get there that take 5 times longer then to do stuff that the Ubers did awhile ago and fill there spot, get bored and quit also. Be a guild or 5 behind them, wash, rinse, repeat. Verant will prolly dumb down the encounters more for the following guilds, to keep them playing.

WoW sounds cool, looks cool, but its gonna NEED to come out with balanced classes/races. Everyone will take the evil classes first. Noone really wants to play a goodie two shoes class, look at the EQ pvp severs.

Hell I been back and forth from EQ quit 3-4 times deleted my 60 necro with 40 AA's Last time. Went back to UO during one of my breaks. UO is alive and maybe not as well. But came back to EQ when they just made it stupid.

UO I think still has the best idea but the game sucks. EQ2 sounds like it may be like UO with the skill system. Eventually the "popular" skill set will show up and everyone will try to make one, but there are plenty of popular ones. You actually have to make decisons on what you want to do on UO.

I was bard/tamer in UO before that was the popular thing to do, just because I wanted a dragon pet and provoke was way powerful but gave up alot on casting skills. I would have loved med. resist magic, and wrestling but chose my path. You can't really complain about skills if you can customize your char to your liking, if there are drawbacks to every kit.

I'm gonna grab WoW hopefully the day it comes out. I have a scary feeling its gonna be another Dark Ages. I went on enough tangents so far I wont go into why that game sucks, since everyone knows why anyway. Furor made the Griffon rides sound neat, bur sounds exactly the same as horse rides in DAoC, minus the flying.

My buddy used to be hardcore DAoC player and he quit because they nerfing shadowsomethings (rogue guys from some realm I just watched, never played) 2 years after the game came out, for pvp reasons... Fort raids seemed dumb too, as much fun as a raid on a door for no purpose is I think its dumb (We are SO kicking this door's ass).

Less WoW comes out balanced doubt it will last too long. Its gonna be exactly same as the other online games, I'd imagine, need mezzer, healer, tank. buffer and whatnot to do anything. Well its my bedtime, I could go on but basically I dount anyone will stickk to the new games half as long as they did EQ.

Unless you can incorperate actual strategy in a game gonna be pretty hard pressed to make a worthwhile improvement over the time invested EQ.
