Cool/Uncool

I'm still catching up on the EQII news and I'll tell you what I think is cool or uncool as I do. Let's start with the easy stuff.

Cool

The second official EQII podcast was not just better than the first, it was markedly better. I criticized the initial podcast for being overly scripted and believe me it was. And I think the people at SOE realized it themselves.

So they did the right thing and changed it. The new, more casual format is clearly more entertaining and can still impart the necessary information. It also showed that the SOE crew are real people and a fairly funny lot. An official podcast like this is not a necessity, but it is a nice bonus.

Uncool

I don't know what this is all about but I don't like it.

Cool

This "leaked alpha" video of EoF looks pretty good (although it takes a day and a half to load).

Uncool

No evil Fae? When did that happen? Well, I've just have to roleplay my Fae as good but extremely annoying.

I personally believe that it's becuz they didn't want to have to change the character select screen to show all 24 classes if you start as a Fae.; 2:01 AM

Anonymous said...: Part of the reason for "good" only fae may be to equal out the numbers of qeynosians vs. freeporters on pvp servers.; 11:25 AM

Anonymous said...: Aye, I sent some feedback about Fae being only good as well as EoF being for goodies too. Was getting a bit tired of the literal 'good' and 'evil' scenario being so set in stone and restricting your personal character development preferences.

In fact all I got back from a dev was an accusation that I was attempting online extortion (because I said I was losing interest in playing). Gave me good reason to cancel early :); 5:34 AM
