Ahhh crap.... I just realized I don't meet the requirements for this game. Stupid me didn't see the I5 quad core and I have an I3....
How do I get a refund?
Edit: Nm, found out. Dang this sucks
Was it unplayable? Or just inconsistent frames?

Think you need to eat a lot of raw materials though, just kidding, having your character become encumbered would be a pretty cool mechanic.

Dude are you sure? An i3 isn't a bad processor at all, could the game really require an i5? It can be that the game isn't optimized properly yet though, I remember building a PC for my little step brother using an i3 and it ran Black Ops very smoothly.
The specs are for Alpha, which isn't optimized.
I can't even get past clicking the play button. Launcher just quits
Do you have a Twitter account? Smedley is answering questions directly right now.

Just made a tweet to him
EDIT: And wow that was a quick response. !!! It took him like 10 seconds to tweet back to email him. Who is this guy anyway?

Wow lucky me then. He responded to my email.
Sorry for the probs. I've copied some tech guys to take a look. It won't be till tmw morning though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It seems the claim areas are really small, and then the buffer areas are really huge. Anyone finding themselves limited by this?

I just got a claim a little bit ago. I picked a mountain top.. I wish it was a little wider, so I could take the whole mountain out evenly but there are some bits of it that are on the outside of my claim area so it looks kind of ugly.
thinking of giving up my claim and looking for a new one when they open more servers.
Reminds me of Simcity 3. Maybe something to do with the server load? If it stores the default region client-side and only sends the differences from the server (like Starbound), then it would make sense to limit people to a small percentage of the landscape.
Yeah, we're not going to be building any towns here. Even if we wanted to collaborate we can't put our claims next to each other. Maybe that'll come later.

who is Emo-Beas?
What are you running? Curious as my system is pretty old.
Dual i5 at 4.2ghz and a GTX 760... so pretty good.

It's both. Monsters and more progression are on the way, it'll be a full blown big budget Minecraft that feeds content into EQN when it releases.

I'm really tempted to pick up a Trailblazer pack.
I've been following it for a long while now but have yet to decide if I should jump in or not.

Will the MMO allow this kind of terrain manipulation?

Yes, but through world-destruction. Your abilities should allow you to break terrain, go deep underground and all that jazz taking into account the limitations put in place by the game design.

Have they mentioned about how player housing will work in Everquest Next?
You find a spot to claim and build, that's about all there is right now.

Not bad fps for an alpha

Mainly meant Next, not the Landmark and such.
they want to introduce guild claims in the alpha/beta and a way of combining claims that are next to each other. It would be really stupid if they didn't include these features in the final game, currently the claims are way too small
I guess the buffer represents the maximum size your (aggregate) claim can end up being so? How big is that?
Anyone have some good streams - recorded or live - where people are going in depth on building? I'm curious about the scope of the tools.
as far as I read there will be wipes during both alpha/beta and on launch
There will be far less claimable space, the devs have also mentioned requiring a land grant of some sort around the city you want to build in first.
Correct.
Can anyone help?
Check your tutorial folder. Unless you changed the install directory it should be in C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest Next Landmark\Tutorial
There will be a way to import what we build using the template system that is in game, as long as the creation fits in with the game world.
There will also be contests eventually where SOE will show a piece of concept art or something and players will be able to participate to try to get their creation into the game. There will be a voting system in place, and then SOE will come in and decide which ones are the best fit for the game.
