    It's posts like these that make me miss the good old days of EQ2Flames. This level of ridiculousness, exposed to that forum crowd, with that kind of loose moderation, would have made for a truly legendary thread.

    Come to think of it, I heard developer nightmares back when PoP was released. Some zones never made it to live and were shown on the maps given in the expansion boxes (Plane of Health being one). Rallos Zek was supposed to be in Plane of War after beating the Zek brothers in Tactics as part pf progression, but was never finished and RZ was crammed into Tactics as well. They didn't even have Plane of Time finished (first raid instancing ever done) so they made it a horrible guild vs. guild flagging race.

    Also, for a VERY short time, like a few days, players running animations changed. It looked like we were all doing that race kids do by holding an egg on a spoon and holding it outward while jogging. Everyone complained and it was reverted. Was that you, mister Ttobey? They should've kept it.

    I wonder if there were any gods PoP that were scrapped. Like I just recently saw Rodcet Nife in a deity quest, but he never existed in EQ. :(

    Except for Grummus, I animated these.

    Yeah we had someone want the runs changed and they were rushed in. A few of them were pretty good in my opinion, definitely better than what was in game, but people didn't like a few of them, so they were all taken out.

    Broom Player race maybe.

    All mine here. Sol Ro was the first character I animated at SOE.

    As earlier stated, would love to see them all again in EQ2 with the same (or similar) progression-system as it was in EQ1.

    Defeat T1 bosses, advance to T2 etc

    And wouldnt hurt with Tobey as lead animator.

    What is your definition of 'raid content' if you're calling KA heroics a raid?
  12. Pharone Active Member

    LOL! Been there. Done that at a number of companies myself. Come in with the title Lead Developer. I look around, and say, "where's my team?" Boss, "Oh. No. You are the team. Welcome aboard."

    I wonder what he would call EQ1 72 man raids. *shivers*

    Tobey, are you responsible for ALL the animations in Plane of Power???
  15. Rainmare Well-Known Member

    I want to make a suggestion that Ttobey should look at Warhammer 40k lore, take a look at Slannesh, and then make a Thoxule mob and make them put Thoxlue in Eq2 and up the rating to M just for the God of Lust :p

    Just the gods. I'm the only animator on EQ2 though.

    Broom familiar?

    That would be a cool familiar.

    Hmm.... in fact, a parrot that sits on your shoulder would be a really cool familiar.

    My halfling swashie wannabe pirate has one of these: \aITEM 2030861624 -119859003: Parrot\/a (had to put a space before the letter P because it turned into an emote)
    It's LoN loot. Not as good as a familiar would be, but still pretty cool!
