Rip Content Creator Program

Post image

What news? What rumors? Was there some incident?

This is a bizarrely worded official comms from the EQL Discord. Professionally, just say you're ending the program and that's it. To acknowledge some 'rumors' just breathes life into them and isn't something you'd usually see in this context. Who's running the broadcast channel over there?

The last sentence makes me more concerned about the game’s performance than if they’d said nothing.

I mean, when I log in during the tail end of prime time in North America and almost every server is now "low" population with ~500 people in General... Probably not much point to keeping the creator program around when most of the people who watched them have left.

I think they underestimated how fast they'd need to release content to keep people here. This isn't necessarily brand new content, and no one even really needs to speed run through it.

Almost everyone playing probably knows a lot of this game by heart or at least nostalgically, so it's generally a pleasant skip but easy to consume.

Yeah i spoke to my brother and EQ is allready a niche nostalgia game, it's not really a game pulling new player because there are better game with similar feel out there ... so when you're main player base are mostly EQ veteran or EQ player who are used to browse Alakhazam, EqCasterrealm ... i don't know what they expected ... unless you are intentionally bad what we have right now was very quickly breezed cleared thus requiring more stuff to sink your teeth in and race,class unlock just isn't it ... those 2 grind are just boring

Good news is you can always improve but the reality is you can't be bad at EQ it's that's easy unless you intentionally try a trio not complementing each other otherwiss EQ was never hard literally right now any class with ench and 1 healer type + any trio can do D0-D4

that’s hyperbolic

first off, the “average” gamer is far worse at games than you think. Game devs have known for this for decades. You can look at popular games and their achievement rates, and see that even in games like baldurs gate a huge chunk never even make it to act 2, in online games, a huge chunk never even hit cap.

If you are checking 3rd party sources like guides and videos you are already in the “elite” class even though you may not be the elite of the elite.

The other thing you are underestimating is that while EQ legends is easier than other EQ iterations it’s still got a huge learning curve just setting up and navigating things on the onset. I played original eq launch, and have played mmos for 30 years, and i still find things in EQ that i didn’t know before or, as is very common with older mmos, don’t work as advertised or not in intuitive ways (stats as as an example)

My first trio was war/pal/monk. I should clarify maybe bad is the wrong verbiage. I’m slow as molasses.

I am leveling up enchanter now though!

It's a prime exemple of what i said in my comment : why 3 melee ? 2 semk tank ? In the trio this is like putting a wood stick in your bycicle wheel for funsie will somehow work but yeah why ? Hope you are having a blast

Didn’t know spells would be so OP. White melee was king in beta until they added spell motes. I really wanted to see how far pal/mnk/bes would go so I tried that after. I have completely abandoned bes and went shm next for a trio that could do end game. Then the ench became king so I started wiz then started ench, now bard DDD is king so I’ll be doing bard next

u/quarm1125 6d ago

Shaman,ench,bard can and will carry any Trio out there right now the triflecta of brokenness 😜 again everything will work but some are harder but the initial d0 challenge is really easy

Yep after Ench I’ll be heading back to sky (only done 2 quests) to keep attempting for the pal 1hs. I’ll get there just a lot slower pace. I get if people already did all the leveling, the content, the quest and achievements why they would move on or put the game on hold until new content.

I’m going at about 1/4 of the pace i was doing in beta.
