So what are Daybreak's plans for EQ2?

Have they even hinted at where they are taking EQ2 for the future?

[Mr_Sands80]

Well they already destroyed the endgame- hard to say where they are going with it.

Zones require stats that arent even close to the display limit in the character screen.

They released tot with no sound on the crafting tables and never fixed it.

The gu100 patch time lines are not linked so the patch is broke into like 40 friggen wiki pages rather than just 1 section.

The new main stats are potnency and mit rather than cc and cb.

They couldnt figure out the combat system so they dumbed it down to WoW standards and put a choke on the dmg output outcome calling it resolve.- when that didnt work they dropped the potency gear in.

The released gear with the new patch that actually has lower stats than previous expansion and used the same skins that have been out.

The new gear stats are messed up and seem to be out of shape for standard class building.

They had the brilliant plan of releasing gear with 800+ potency- cause it was the only noticable way to deal damage to thier unbalanced new mobs.

Time line? They don't know the definition but after the pathetic zek and tot release- I doubt that there will be anymore decent ones in the future.

They couldn't even give us a way to obtain decent pot/mit gear to start heroics for the new patch.

They are dormant on most forums and discussion boards-fk tweeter

The new zones are just garbage unless a new expansion is released to give us a decent time line for gear to go in them and the expansion would probably have better gear anyhow making the zones useless.

The economy is now broken people have millions yes millions of plat when 2-10k was alot before.

They broke the system- the pillars that EQ use to stand on have now fallen- prepare yourself for this game to become WoW cause its happening already. They make a promise with a straight face while secretly they are pissing in your cherios. 2-4 more patches and this game will be a WoW clone.

Looking at some of the private servers out there and the quality work they have done I would not be surprised to see them look at the IP of EQ2 better then Daybreak. And at a fraction of the cost.

[Mr_Sands80]

On a further note mug- the new potency gear has broke the game in my opinion- potency affects every dmg stat on the toon releasing gear that has 900% on every peice is like giving everyone in the game jetpacks and automatic rocket launchers. This is a game breaking unless the stats are decreased and the new mobs are balanced correctly and the gear is fixed to work for certian classes this game is doomed... I can't fathum what the gear is going to have to look like to release a new expansion for this game... The problem is the devs dont actually know anything about this games stat mechanics- they act like they play but they dont- its a fluke..

Trying to cheer me up?

I have played EQ2 off and on since the beginning. I just activated my account to play on the time locked servers.

It just seems crazy how they have tacked on so many bits to the stats and skill trees over the year that it just lost all meaning for me. It seemed at times we spent more time just looking to improve our stats through the hundred and one (what it felt like) different ways then just having fun.

New zones do not really enhanced the game and it has just lost it's magic. Even some of the wonderful guilds with fantastic people are gone. It was the people who made this game.

I was just thinking about when I rolled my first toon all those years ago and being scared of Darklight Wood or Nektulos Forest. Now one can solo so much content so easy it is boring. And doing the oldr zones is really a pain once you have done them ten times, doing the same old fixed quests again and again.

I am takling about the modern servers but even the time locked servers do not bring the magic back.

EQ2 is so old now and to be honest the graphics suck, the AI suck and populations suck that I think it is clearly in it's twilight stage.



It is so sad.

[ELDERBLIVION]

LoN just bit the dust. Columbus Nova is still trimming down the fat.

[Rebel]

EQ2's future is a private server at this point. DBG is just squeezing money out of it.

TLE servers - PVP was a bust, PVE is losing people rather quickly, even after merger with PVP server.

New trade server - Another cash grab which will have hype for a little bit then fade like the rest.

[MugHug]

Well, there is always EQN to look forward to

[Rebel]

Haha. Eq2 is a good game. One of my all time favourites. Tons of content, challenging (well use to be), farming, group play. I even enjoyed PVP back on Nagafen. I'm hoping for a private server at some point...

It is nice we have a private EQ 1, private SWG and an early private Vanguard SOH but it seems no one is interested in doing a private EQ 2. Guessing we will not see one or if we do it will be only if EQ 2 shuts down.

[ドラザラー]

I've seen a lot of great people come and go from this title. I used to volunteer as a guide a while back. Did my time raiding some of the hardest content in the game. Even though it has been over three years since I last logged in. It truly saddens me over the state the game is in. I am begining to wish that they just shut it down at this point. Give it a mercy kill and let us remember it as the great game it once was and not what it has now become.

[MugHug]

Agree.

Just feel that Daybreak Games will keep a 'brain dead' Everquest 2 on life support just to milk every penny they can from it.

It is not like they intend to bring in even a spirited successor, to keep the heritage of the once great Everquest IP alive. If they ever do, it will be in only name and not in depth and micro-paymented to hell.

Somehow that feels wrong, considering the legacy of such a great MMO IP.

Nektulos Forest......when I went there for the first time it was like having the old EQ back: unfairly placed mobs, huge aggro ranges and quests that sent you against oranges - I absolutely loved it.

Those where the times : )

Update:

It seems that the expansion for 2016 that was hinted at bu Holly (EQ2 Producer) in Feb 2016 is not going to materialize.

The silence on that expansion since it was mentioned in the EQ2 Producer's letter (Feb 2016) has been deafening.

It is now mid-August and it seems unlikely anything is happening this year let alone next year.
