    idk what is going to be about vampires or gods again but one of my ideas is obviously new god quests for lvl 80-100 and also adding maybe if possible 3 of the these (drinal,luclin,druzzil,fennin,xegony,rathe,truimvirate) doesnt have to be all them 2 or 3 of those would be great. also adding that vampire outfit that the those female mobs use they look pretty gothic stylish. it would be nice for halloween.

    Sadly, all the planning for the next expansion is already being executed. My understanding is that things like that, unless they were already on the list, would go for the one after that. But can't hurt to throw it on the queue. You never know!

    Right. At this point they are working on polish to prep for beta, it's probably not *entirely* too late for new concepts if they are really interesting - see Graceless, for example - but entire questlines are unlikely.

    One thing it can do is finally give us EQ Classic type robes, with the wide sleeves, for mages to wear.

    This is an animation issue with the knee joints on the animation skeletons. They don't interact with cloth physics the way they had hoped, so those EQ1 style robes that cover the legs had to be redrawn as front and side flaps with the legs underneath exposed.

    *IF* they could fix this, they would have already
  6. Dgkelly38 Active Member

    I didn't say the wearer's lower half was the problem.
  7. Cusashorn Well-Known Member


    It's still cloth physics, though. The sleeves wouldn't look like the big cuffs the mages had in EQ1 either.
  8. Dgkelly38 Active Member

    Sure, but they wouldn't have to be a mirror image. Just the kind that the Qeynosian queen, and Firiona Vie have.
    There's also the potential for Players to finally get a skin update so we stop looking like a middle schooler's art project.
  9. Melkior Well-Known Member

    Wow. The middle schoolers you know must be extremely talented. The graphic in this game have never been something I had an issue with. Are there games with more detailed or realistic graphics? Sure. But I've never considered them to be awful. I prefer them to EQ1 without a doubt. I guess everyone has different tastes.

    That is a fantastic way to convince someone to do what you want.

    Did you take a course in negging and think it was a good idea?

    Look at the most recent NPCs and mobs, then look at Player toons.
  12. Melkior Well-Known Member

    I play a lot. I have. I have a different opinion. Sorry, you apparently can't wrap your head around the concept.
  13. Dgkelly38 Active Member

    Maj'dul NPCs, Mara NPCs, and Renewal of Ro NPCs are works of art. Player characters are just 20 year old clumps of discarded clay.
  14. Taled Well-Known Member

    Turn on SOGA models then. They're several years newer than the base models.

    I love my toons just the way they are, thank you.

    You see discarded clay, I see masterpieces.

    One thing they have already announced a DirectX update....
    That should begin to open the possibility for tweaks after that.

    And hopefully solve the random kicks that say unrecoverable error DirectX...:)

    They're also significantly uglier.

    The only character I find.. um... repulsive... is the Half elf. Looks like some kind of plastic doll. All the rest I am fine with.

    (oh... and Sarnak's walking drives me nuts... so I won't do those.. lol)
