EverQuest Next Interview With Dave Georgeson (GameBreaker)

[Zeli]

A good interview... probably the best EQN one I've seen so far, and I've seen like 3... so...

I want a major-crafting game. I want a major housing/town game. I don't want quest hubs. I want options. I want the decisions I make to matter in some way. I like no levels... because I love to play with my friends and we're all casual/hardcore/fickle freaks! The PvP bit has me curious. I like a limited hotbar: Guild Wars and GW2 had that right(in terms of how I like to play). I've learned enough to know this game won't be all I ever wanted, but I'm liking what they're saying so far.

[Vejuz]

I like a limited hot bar too, but 8 abilities seems pretty dang limited. I think GW2 has the sweet spot with ten.

I'm a little wary of how he danced around the tab-targeting question. I hope they keep things 'positional'* as they are now.

Death to the tab-target! Woe betide any who dare adopt it! The action combat times have cometh!

*Their word, not mine.

[Zeli]

I have enjoyed both tab-targeting and positional combat. I've also played games where both were flawed and dull. Depends on implementation. Keeping an open mind.
