The "Big news on the 30th" - Page 2

Folks ..don't get yourself all worked up about EQ3. It is not going to be anywhere near the depth of EQ2. And I would not be suprised if it's ready to launch by the middle of next year.

There is alot of anti SOE sentiment out there and it's too much of a risk to pour 4 years in development.

Look for a shallow simplistic game that is designed heavily for social media.

Kenazeer · 05-31-2012, 09:23 AM

With Vanguard being such a crown jewel of the SOE stable, and SOE being the marketing juggernaut that it is, I am not sure how you guys missed it...lol...

but

VG has already announced it was going F2P...like a couple months ago if I am remembering right.

I'll try to dig it up.

Edit: lol...yeah right about two months ago.

It has to be something 'new' and significant, other wise they wouldn't even think about spewing it out in front of their peers at E3. I'll put 10p on a new graphics engine. SJ has already mentioned that was on the to-do list by the guy that was tied up working on something else, which is done now.

It's almost noon pacific... I'd certainly hope that they would've been at work at least 2-3 hours ago. Either way, it's probably whoever their PR is managing the elite infos.

FYI, not to be a pain or nothing, but I live in San Diego. SOE is just up the highway. They open at 10 AM pdt.

My bet is one of these:

1) Some change to subscription models/features for SOE games (this could relate to pss1, could be account linking, could be something else)

2) Play as your toon in dungeon maker (something already alluded to) and/or additional player made content features.

I think many of the other ideas floating around are simply too grandiose to really be achieved by the size of the remaining team. As far as how big an announcement needs to be for leading up to E3, every game company has press releases before E3 for whatever they're planing to deliver. Certainly they want them to sound as impressive as possible, but whatever is coming to the table will try to latch on to the E3 press monster.

Morgania434 · 05-31-2012, 03:56 PM

I'm with that person that said it's an announcement about prosabien. How now, it along with SOE will provide millions of viewers with millions of movie titles all right to their gaming console!! Oh and by the way, if you are in EU you will have to pay double of anyone else in the world for this wonderful new service!

Vinyard · 05-31-2012, 04:02 PM

3. Linked Accounts from sole proprietary ownership .... no?

Shouting at E3 that they are going to let players use thier own avatars in Dungeon Maker would make them look incompetent in front of thier competition, like throwing chum in shark infestive waters. Bioware and Blizzard would just WTFPWN them for the entire time. Bioware guy says to Blizzard guy, "pssst, did you HEAR what those dolts in the silly matching tee's are offering thier gaming client?" Blizzard guys responds, "LOLLOLLOOLLOLLOLLLOL, What? I didn't hear you, I can't stop laughing over what those guys in the silly matching tee's just said they were adding for thier gaming clients!"

Talathion · 05-31-2012, 05:46 PM

Dungeon Finder, something nobody uses. (because it never can find the appropriate people.)

Dungeon Maker, something nobody uses. (because you can't use your own characters.)

Battlegrounds, something nobody uses. (because of separated pvp stats/boring tundra.)

Scrap all of the dumb ideas.

I think it will be something about EQNext being playable on PS3.

Am I talking to a wall here?

What don't you guys understand about Smokejumper saying

One last little thing. We have a press leak going out on the 30th, and there’s a big announcement happening on the first day of E3. It’s all related to EQ2. Watch out for it.

It’s all related to EQ2

agnott · 05-31-2012, 10:05 PM

What ever it is ...it will be presented to you as being one thing, but in reality it will be something else.

The space between those 2 things will be wide enough for you to fit an Iowa Class Battleship through (sideways)

To be honest ..this is like chastising people for ignoring statements made by Pinocchio.

Sorry didn't mean to get anyone too excited. I did mean Eq2 on Ps3 (bleh), SJ's quotes were directed to EQ2 only, but speculation on EQN is intriguing

Morrias · 06-01-2012, 03:00 AM

I would be willing to bet it's just the new expansion and some revolutionary feature that won't work when it comes out, will never be fixed, and will eventually be removed or forgotten. (Ex: Arena, Battlegrounds, Dungeon Finder, LFG tool, Shader 3, Dungeon Maker, GPU Shadows, "Special Effects", crafting instances, etc)

Most of the problems with Dungeon Finder won't be fixed by making it cross-server.

I'm also betting on a lofty idea that sounds great on paper but which is half-implemented and then abandoned a month later.

It's already free. What else could they change?

It wasn't 'alluded to'. It was announced. Twice.

I'd rather they tell us something we DON'T already know.

Yeah but we can't say he's wrong on that. When they say it's related to EQ2, it's related to EQ2. It can't be like :

"Dear EQ2 players. I'd like to announce that we'll be adding several cool new items to FreeRealms SC store! Surprise!!"

"We already said a few times on the forum that we won't announce anything related to EQnext or Vanguard in this reveal. Well, as a matter of fact, EQnext coming this winter!! Thanks for all your years of dedication and love for this franchise!!! We as a company seriously love you customers and veterans alik......"

Zeuteno · 06-01-2012, 05:17 AM

Possibly in the pipe for EQ2:

*The rest of Velious (no suprise)

*EQ2 style Planes of Power expansion (Corrupted Planes)!

*New characters can start at level 90 with no AAs and a full set of starter gear!

*AI Hot button system: The AI mercenary spell system but for players! One button for all single target heals/wards, One button for all encounter AoEs, One button for all debuffs, etc. Cut down 94 hot buttons to 12!

*Mentoring down to do old quest chains now give x8 more AA xp!

*Do Trade skills from your iPhone!

*World wide EQ2 Auction house!

*EverQuest 2 - The Movie

and many more...

Cheers,

Cheers,

EQ2 is officially on the list of games that will show at E3. And I highly doubt the announcement and press leak are related to ProSieben deal or dungeon maker. I mean why the hell would they announce these things at E3 booth? Why would a surprise press leak be related to ProSieben when all of us already know it's coming ?

Normally, game studios go to E3 to show off at least some new stuffs and development(or for surprise information). So my guess is like : small tidbits of the next expansion, new feature or next GU.

and it's about time they announce the title and brief information about the next xpac.

The next content xpac coming out in the fall 2013 ... 10 more AA, a whole new class "the grashopper", and a ton of lvl 92 content. 1 whole new heroic group instance and 1 raid zone with 2 names in it !! Watch this space for more info as it's gradually released. If you behave we mght even add HM to those amazing new instances.

Must be the big news. They had decent video for once and smoke jumper looked almost charming SMILEY

Be interesting to see it in game if anyone uses it, most of the people i play with use Vent.

The facial tracking looked pretty impressive even picking up on blinking eyes, all in all a pretty cool idea, way to go SOE devs picking up on some Augmented reality tech! Now, if only if i could program it to where i blinked twice really fast i could shoot off a heal - now your talking Stephen Hawking coolness!

(Ex: Arena, Battlegrounds, Dungeon Finder, LFG tool, Shader 3, Dungeon Maker, GPU Shadows, "Special Effects", crafting instances, etc) I'm also betting on a lofty idea that sounds great on paper but which is half-implemented and then abandoned a month later.

What don't you guys understand about Smokejumper saying One last little thing. We have a press leak going out on the 30th, and there’s a big announcement happening on the first day of E3. It’s all related to EQ2. Watch out for it. *It’s all related to EQ2* *It’s all related to EQ2* *It’s all related to EQ2* *It’s all related to EQ2* *It’s all related to EQ2* To be honest ..this is like chastising people for ignoring statements made by Pinocchio. Yeah but we can't say he's wrong on that. When they say it's related to EQ2, it's related to EQ2. It can't be like : "Dear EQ2 players. I'd like to announce that we'll be adding several cool new items to FreeRealms SC store! Surprise!!" "We already said a few times on the forum that we won't announce anything related to EQnext or Vanguard in this reveal. Well, as a matter of fact, EQnext coming this winter!! Thanks for all your years of dedication and love for this franchise!!! We as a company seriously love you customers and veterans alik......"

New characters can start at level 90 with no AAs and a full set of starter gear! AI Hot button system: The AI mercenary spell system but for players! One button for all single target heals/wards, One button for all encounter AoEs, One button for all debuffs, etc. Cut down 94 hot buttons to 12! Mentoring down to do old quest chains now give x8 more AA xp! Do Trade skills from your iPhone! World wide EQ2 Auction house! EverQuest 2 - The Movie and many more... Cheers,

Cheers, EQ2 is officially on the list of games that will show at E3. And I highly doubt the announcement and press leak are related to ProSieben deal or dungeon maker. I mean why the hell would they announce these things at E3 booth? Why would a surprise press leak be related to ProSieben when all of us already know it's coming ? Normally, game studios go to E3 to show off at least some new stuffs and development(or for surprise information). So my guess is like : small tidbits of the next expansion, new feature or next GU. and it's about time they announce the title and brief information about the next xpac.

The next content xpac coming out in the fall 2013 ... 10 more AA, a whole new class "the grashopper", and a ton of lvl 92 content. 1 whole new heroic group instance and 1 raid zone with 2 names in it !! Watch this space for more info as it's gradually released. If you behave we mght even add HM to those amazing new instances.

They had decent video for once and smoke jumper looked almost charming Be interesting to see it in game if anyone uses it, most of the people i play with use Vent. The facial tracking looked pretty impressive even picking up on blinking eyes, all in all a pretty cool idea, way to go SOE devs picking up on some Augmented reality tech! Now, if only if i could program it to where i blinked twice really fast i could shoot off a heal - now your talking Stephen Hawking coolness!
