If you could ask Darkpaw ONE question (For The EverQuest Show)...

Discussion in 'The Veterans' Lounge' started by Fading Illusion, Feb 5, 2023.

    What would your one question be?

    I'm working on some upcoming content/interviews/episodes of The EverQuest Show...

    So, I wanted to see what the top concern/curiosity from the community was.

    If you were able to just ask ONE question of the developers/studio...

    What would you ask?

    The plight in class balance discussions. What is DP's response to the community's desire with addressing it versus under swept rug? Thank you.

    When will server lag be fixed?

    Has there been internal discussion about how the game is going to end, and if so do you have an end date planned on when it will end?

    We have heard in your past interviews when J Chan has said account transfers will not be brought back. Although she looked very puzzled at the time as to what account transfers really were.

    It would be nice to hear if this is still true and if its a "can" not situation where programing prohibits it or "will" not because of chance of fraud or lack of man power.

    Do you still play the game for fun? (Is that even possible when you are the developer?)

    Hi Fading,
    Great work on the show (yes, am subscribed and click Like on the episodes :) )
    My one question would be, as silly as it is (and it should really be asked of Verant) is how in the world are there not gigantic sea monsters in Timorous Deep and Ocean of Tears? I remember all the rumors when I first started playing that the boats could be attacked by leviathans and players would be killed with their corpses forever being lost on the ocean floor. All false, of course but it does seem strange there are those vast expanses of ocean with no enormous sea monsters.
    Keep up the great work on The Everquest Show!

    I like your question, but it presupposes that they actually CAN fix it. I would simply ask; WILL server lag be fixed?

    Are there any plans at this point of the game to:

    add a 50 max skill for tracking in aa's
    allow other classes to learn tinkering or alchemy

    I would ask them to explain the rationale behind some of their design changes over the last few years ie adding overseer, big mission exp etc. Always fascinated as to they why of these things from the actual perspective of Daybreak and not simply all our opinions of why they did things.

    What do you think of the work being done privately to port EverQuest art and graphics assets to the UE5 engine?


    FOLLOW UP OPTIONAL: Many fans of the EverQuest franchise would love to adventure in EverQuest 1's Norrath using a modern graphics engine. What would moving to a modern graphics engine require sacrificing in terms of the annual schedule?

    We've gone over what a selfish question this is that you keep bringing up. It will end when its no longer profitable. It can also end any time you want, canceling your subscription is just a few clicks away.

    Right after another round of lifetime subs sounds about right.

    This is not Toys were us (they used to be toys r us but announced they were closing when they closed) and its not Bed Bath and Beyond (same thing) and it seems if they answered this question then they would be shooting themselves in the foot cause everyone would dump the game asap and stop payment and there would be no income.

    Unlike when they canceled LON but we all had a chance to claim those items and pass them around in that mass "final liquidation sale" that was amazing because we can still use those items in the game.

    Once the game cancels there is nothing left to use, nothing to sell off. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg comes to mind.

    Would you consider putting in an upgraded casino - especially where there are casino themed npc's in the new Shadowhaven zone.

    My question:

    How many hours a week do you play EverQuest ?

    Question- Every expansion that keeps coming out keeps bulking up the games damage for both NPC's and Players. Are we just going to see the bloat continue to where players will be doing Billions of damage instead of millions?

    Have the developers decided whether or not a TLP with ALL classes available from classic is a viable idea?

    Will there ever be ship to ship combat? :)

    Don't we all really already know the answer to this one? It should still be asked though.
