Well looks like another add on I'll be forking over for. Now I just have to find people to group with... damn this soloing play style.

Well, overall, it sounds pretty good to me! My friends and I are always looking for something that can be done with just a single group, since that seems to be all of us that's on at a time!

My only issue is from this:
Often there are only 3 or 4 of us in a given level range on at the same time... the same problem exists if there's 7 or 8 of us on - we could split into two groups and go seperately, but still wouldn't meet the number requirements. Someone would get left out.

I'd hate to have an entire expansion unusable just because we have the wrong number of people available.


Other than THAT, I love the concept! No overcrowding, a guaranteed place to go and hunt regardless of the time available... if they can adjust the numbers a bit, it may just be the perfect EQ expansion!

I have to agree... I can't count how many times I go someplace and there are like 3 or 4 people camping the spawns, which causes me to go hunt elsewhere only to find my next area camped... So I spend a majority of my time just TRYING to find someplace to go. I like that you can't camp with the new expansion dungeons and that they are quick enough to finish in a short amount of time.

My only question is... what happens when you die? Does your corpse appear outside and if not, how do you get back in since you need a group to get in there?

Fitton

My guess about the "when you die" bit is now that everquest has the ability to flag your charater, you will be able to re-enter the dungeon as you wish. But of course, they might also have some type of time limit on it. I would hate to see to whole party go linkdead except you and you get yourself killed and not be able to get back in to get your gear.

GameSpy: Will this be the last expansion we'll see for EverQuest?

Shawn Lord: No. In fact, we already have plans for another expansion, though the details on that one aren't ready for release yet. The story of Lost Dungeons will be one chapter in many still to come.


Will This Ever End???
Lets hope Not

arkusrex

Finally!An add-on I won't have to buy due to some other desired feature.As it's presented in the article it's just too dependant of being able to group.Now if they had the same idea geared for solo play up to full groups I'd pay double the price of admission.Hear that Sony?*waves money under nose*.

Kudane

Heya Ark,

you know the MM in MMORPG mean "massive mult-player" right? that means they are going to design the game for "massive players" to play together... you can already solo.. and if you want a world all to yourself you could always try Diablo II again


hehehehe

silly kiters!

Aerasin

I have to admit with all the complaints about Sony they sure seem to be on a roll about addressing complaints gamers have had. I remember feeling frusterated a few years ago with EverQuest due to the 1) down time 2) difficulty of finding a group 3) the amount of time one would have to spend to get one good session in and 4) camping. Its a much better game now and with this new expansion its going to be even better.

Kudos to Sony for this! I only hope they have a plan to get people grouped quickly.

Didn't play D2 since the first installment was pretty vapid.Yes I'm quite aware of the MM.And you don't need to kite to solo.Even with my Druid I don't kite just root bomb like a wizard.What I was saying why not let someone or a pair enjoy these new sections as well as up to a full group.I could go on but suffice it to say I've already put a bug in Sony's ear to release a Single player version of the game.Not to replace thy precious chat room rpg but as a side product.I certainly don't pay to be part of a chatroom.Lol I play with the chat channels off most of the time anyway.I'm well over 700 levels now(I play every class and you guessed it the warrior's and rogues are dead last in level).I do group every now and then and it's gotten better over time as people have learned(finally)not to cause a TPW.But hey Solo you are in control and thus have only yourself to blame for death.But again I digress,just not gonna pay for 5-6 only play.Pretty easy to understand from first post(least I thought so).

Kudane

I will bet you 1000pp that a duo will be able to play in the new expansion..

"The encouter is based on the make up of your group"

means it looks at what you have, and adjust accordingly.. sooo a duo should do just fine..

arkusrex

I would hope so.But possibly it means that melee heavy groups get melee heavy missions.But the designer did say when asked what size groups would be able to "travel" TLDoN and his reply was "groups of 5 or 6".Duo's and up would certainly be an improvement.I'm beta testing another game in a galaxy far away and it features dynamic missions from one and up so why not here as well....

/sigh I wish they would focus on solo classes...........
