Everquest next [Sandbox free]

Mai sentito parlare di Minecraft?

E che c'entra Minecraft con un mmo?

Minecraft ha la gestione server come un classico "FPS online".
La SOE non rilascerà mai il server di everquest landmark

Justicar · April 5, 2014, 1:06pm

Se landmark è un mmo io son paperon de paperoni.

Tizio · April 5, 2014, 1:09pm

Non l'ho provato ma da quello che ho visto nei vari stream è un mmo.
Non devi correre in giro e reclamare un pezzo di territorio prima che lo fa un altro giocatore e in un unico server? (o 5-6 server della SOE)

Si, è un MMO

Il bello è che cis tai anche giocando, come hai fatto a non capire che è un mmo?

Justicar · April 5, 2014, 1:52pm

Mi manca il nesso con Massively, sinceramente. Non è un GW2 o Teso in cui ci son battaglie campali, tantomeno un WoW coi raid o un Planetside2 (per restare in casa Soe) con decine di persone che si contendono pezzi di territorio.

E' un multiplayer alla Starbound o Minecraft, con decine di giocatori qua e là che cazzeggiano mentre sminano e costruiscono villette non abusivamente, che poi la struttura venga incorporata dentro un ipotetico Everquest 3 ben venga (sbav) ma sarà un altro gioco, non questo.

Tizio · April 5, 2014, 2:51pm

Non ho detto MMORPG ma MMO, gte hai citato MMORPG (e un MMOFPS).
Questo non è un multiplayer alla starbound o minecraft perchè non puoi scrivere l'indirizzo IP ed entrare in un server qualsiasi. Qui hai un server centralizzato che gestisce tutti gli account e puoi connetterti SOLO ai server della SOE ed ogni server può contenere fino a 2000 giocatori online contemporaneamente.
Questo fa il gioco un MMO.

Senza contare che molto probabilmente "un" server di everquest landmark per poter gestire tutto il carico di 2000 giocatori, non sta su una sola macchina ma su molte macchine. Anche per questo non rilasceranno mai una versione da "casa", perchè nessuno accende 10 pc in casa per far andare un server

Justicar · April 5, 2014, 4:48pm

hai fatto un minestrone di mie affermazioni pur di aver ragione, ci rinuncio

d'altronde è solo la fase 1 che porterà al lancio di everquest next, landmark è un giocattolino per preparare il terreno di quel che verrà dopo

Smokejumper Developer

Hi there, Landmarkians!

What you see below is a list of "things to come". We'll continue revamping this list continuously during the Closed Beta process. It's intent is to keep you folks informed about what we're doing, why we're doing it, and in what order you can expect to see improvements come into the game!

NOTE: There are some categories of things that we are not including in this blueprint. Stuff like new materials, new props, new biomes, new recipes and design tweaks will be rolling out continuously and aren’t part of any single milestone. You should expect to see those changes like that coming in all the time.

Everything you’re reading here is “time approximate”. We’re aiming at the timelines, but software development is…fraught with peril. It may take longer to get things done.

But as far as "what do we intend to achieve during Closed Beta", here's the big list:

* Caves & Static Water (lakes and oceans)

These features are very likely to be introduced on the same day. Why? This change will overhaul the continents themselves pretty drastically. This will cause a claim wipe to occur...BUT...that won't be much of a problem for you, the players. We'll auto-template everything on your claim at the time of the wipe and return all resources to you. You'll be able to just log on, make a new claim, and place your stuff back into the world with very little fuss.

However, this change will bring the following elements into the game:

Caves: Many tiers of depth below ground for you to dig through and explore. Caves will become hot spots for monster and treasure as those other elements get added in later.
All continents become T1-T5. Resources will no longer be divided between islands. All islands will have all resources. It's just that many of those resources will be buried far below ground.
Static water (oceans and lakes): This is visual initially, adding tons of variety to the appearance of the world.

* Dynamic Water
This is the water that everyone's waiting for so that you can start playing with fluid dynamics in your creations. It's coming. But it's also some pretty hairy R&D, so it'll take a while still.

* Quality of Life Improvements

Groups will get a private chat channel.
Groups will be able to see each other on the map.
You'll be able to paste a map location into chat so that other players can see it as a waypoint if they click on the chat link.
Key configs: Yes, you need to be able to customize your key mappings.
Mini-map to aid navigation while traveling.
Chat 2.0: An overhaul on the chat pane interface to make it more intuitive.
World and macroverse info on the Map interface.

* Socialization

Twitch integration will occur very soon.
Guilds: Bigger than a friends list, but essentially fulfilling the same role on a bigger scale. But now with a cool title and a few other perks.
Player Studio: You can finally submit your templates to the Player Studio (part of the overall Marketplace). This means that your creativity and work on your claims can be turned into real cash…if other players will buy your creations. This system is extremely interesting and will merit its own document soon because it’s heavy on socialization elements. It’s going to be fun.
SOEMote: You knew it was coming! We’re adding this in now because Landmark is a beautiful stage for the folks that like to roleplay or machinma. SOEmote will be hugely useful for them. (And don’t forget the voice shifting tech so you don’t have to sound like you on VoiP!)
New Naming mechanism with account handle: Now you can be any name you want. No longer do we require unique names for your character. (No name reservations!)
Voice over Internet : Yes, many folks use Teamspeak servers (or whatever is the flavor of the month). But not everyone has a server to join, and we’ve found that forcing people to use external voice servers often fragments the community severely. So that’s getting added also. Delayed until early Closed Beta. Shifted because other priorities were shuffled higher on the list.

* Ley Lines & Movement

Think of these as mini-hubs on the Islands. They let you micro-jump between ley line positions, and then explore the area from that hub. (You still have to go to the main hub to transfer between islands and worlds.) There are several advantages to this, not all related to ease of travel. (For example: Real estate around these micro-hubs is more desirable, adding yet another type of claim to seek out.) NOTE: Ley Line use will require in-game coin or resources.
New movement methods: Methods of gliding, flying, etc. will be added to the game via items that you can craft and find.

* Risk & Danger

Health: Yup…you'll be able to die soon. But you can increase your health by finding increase items while adventuring through the world.
Death Penalty: Yes, death will have teeth. Try not to die.
Graveyards and Reviving: When you die, you’ll need a place to respawn unless you Revive.
BASIC combat: This is the first of many steps that will lead us to the eventual combat style we want. This first step is extremely basic as we prototype systems. But things will try to kill you.
Item-based (not class-based) abilities and progression. (Example: Make a bow. Now you can shoot arrows. Imbue it with fire. Now you can shoot fire arrows.)
Armor and Buffs.
Player versus Player combat, in addition to Player versus Environment.

* Other New Systems

Crafting 2.0 : This includes whole new sets of systems, like Imbuing, Upgrading, Salvaging, and Refinement.
Journal: There’s a lot to keep track of in this game. All the crafting choices, your resources, and we’re going to be adding a lot more achievements (see below). When we do that, you need a mechanism to keep it all straight and to help you organize what *you* want to do. The Journal is a cool interface designed to let you do just that.
Achievements: Achievements are the “quest-like” equivalent within Landmark. There’s a ton of things to collect and do in the world, and the achievements system allows you to be recognized for that effort, as well as hinting at what you can do to become more powerful or capable.
Treasure Chests: This is a generic term to represent loot and surprises that you can find as you explore through the caves system below ground.
Unlocking recipes: Right now, all recipes are available at crafting tables as soon as you make them. When this system goes into the game, you’ll need to find those recipes before you can make them at the crafting tables.

ecco quel che verrà nelle prossime settimane / mesi

dominusdei · August 22, 2014, 10:04am

Avete letto di come saranno i server?

Fusta · August 22, 2014, 10:43am

Comunque da quello che ho capito il Next ha PvP/PvE come qualsiasi altro MMORPG.
In più la componente Minecraft, come un qualsiasi altro Sandbox.

dominusdei · August 22, 2014, 10:45am

doppio post scusate

dominusdei · August 22, 2014, 10:46am

intendevo del fatto che potrebbero essere totalmente diversi tra loro a seconda delle scelte dei pg nel server... che poi speriamo non diventi come la cagata di gw2 dove non cambiava una mazza...

ma sta cosa che non ci dovrebbero essere quest classiche?

acct-eliminato.105 · August 22, 2014, 10:57am

Boh magari tornano allo stile del primo EQ.
Quindi niente quest e altri modi di tirar su il pg (grind, crafting)

Tizio · August 22, 2014, 11:07am

Beh, su gw2 le cose son cambiate

Steeve · January 20, 2015, 7:29pm

Gravediggo per chiede se qualcuno di voi ha provato al beta di Landmark

Io l'ho scaricata e provata stasera, non so, così di primo acchito mi pare merda che caga idromerda dopo un'indigestione di cozze avariate, però magari mi sbaglio e ho bisogno di più tempo per capire alcune meccaniche

Tizio · January 20, 2015, 7:33pm

Lo sai vero che landmark è solo una Tech demo creativa del gioco finale venduta separatamente?

Steeve · January 20, 2015, 8:43pm

Si, e tu lo sai che ci hanno introdotto il combattimento PvE e pvp? Quindi puoi beta testare il craft, la raccolta risorse, il PvE e il PvP, il tutto mi risulta macchinoso e per giunta il motore grafico non è ottimizzato per nulla...

Tizio · January 20, 2015, 8:51pm

Si, lo so che le hanno aggiunte. Ma rimane una Tech demo, sono solo le meccaniche senza niente ed è... Questo lo scopo.
Anche la grafica pesante, lo ottimizzano qui piano prima della release del Mmorpg. Senza contare che la tecnologia usata dei voxel l'hanno comprata da un team di sviluppatori indie che stavano creando il loro nitore grafico e voxel, e non è pronta, la stanno ancora ottimizzando.

Commentare dicendo che una Tech demo è piatta è... Beh, senza senso.

Steeve · January 20, 2015, 9:07pm

Prova un combat e poi torna qui a parlarmi delle meccaniche

Piddu · January 20, 2015, 9:44pm

Una cosa giusta l'han fatta, se non hai 64 bit non ci giochi, direi che nel 2015 ci sta

, visto il genere di engine che usa.
