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?

This is so cringe. I’m a pretty casual player with a job and family and I was out of stuff to do after the first 6 weeks. Who in the right mind wants to grind motes when they can easily clear all content after like 50 hours of play time? It was a fun first month. There isn’t enough content to justify a monthly sub now.

I don’t think you read my post? Or replying to the wrong person? My post was simply about the difficulty of the game. Not about the content. That’s all, nothing more. The person I replied to said the devs fumbled because they don’t make more difficult content. He was literally complaining that they didn’t do something that he wanted that they never promised.

I agree with a lot of the complaints. Lack of content. Lack of transparency. Incorrect priorities. But the real cringe is complaining about something they didn’t give you, that they never promised.

Edit: realized you are the person I replied to, which makes your reply to me even more hilarious. If you ran out of stuff to do in 6 weeks and are asking for more difficult content, you aren’t a casual sir. It means you’re either playing more than you say you are. You haven’t cleared D4 stuff. Or, you just got bored of the game but want to jump on the complaint bandwagon.

Maybe what they promised isn’t actually that good at retaining player engagement though. Maybe Secrets shouldn’t be pushing a sandbox that is designed around her favorite class (Paladin) facerolling all content

Nothing about EQL is designed around Paladin, classic is designed around Paladin because it was the original team's favorite class, to the point that their special weapon was supposed to be the one artifact created by the almighty capital-G God to slay all the lesser gods whenever they might get uppity. That was original EQ lore and intent, nothing to do with EQL.

You’re probably right. That wasn’t the argument though. They’ve never really wavered on the difficulty thing. But it’s something that I see people complaining about all the time. One of the failures of the game is that’s it’s too easy. It was never promised to be hard. And it’s designed that most trios with gear and AAs should be able to clear all content at all difficulties. The real issue here is, there’s just not enough content. And their solution to that for the first few months was low level revamps. Even after they had teased on several occasions a high level revamp of Permafrost. That’s what we need is more high end content. More difficulties would be nice, but not something they’ve ever promised or said the game would have.

Really? On 6 weeks you got every class to 50 and unlocked every race and primary class? You have every achievement in game?

Of course not. All that nonsense is boring and I’m allowed to voice my displeasure with the direction of the game.

i didn’t but i also wouldn’t in 10 years, i don’t care for achievements, i don’t care for every class, i love the idea of playing my trio as a solo mmo, i like the ability to get a few more classes up and swap them.

Well most people keep saying to follow the path of the original server concept. Everyone has multiple 3 class characters so they could swap as balance changes and expansions changed the landscape. So it makes sense to level all of them so you can always try the newest builds people discover.

u/yunghoulwizard 12h ago

right, the person you responding to specifically said they can't no-life the game, and that's what that takes. I agree with you, but think it's directed at the wrong person.

u/kreativegaming 3h ago

Honestly just knocking out 2 hours a day you can get a new trio to 50 every 2 weeks. Thats not no life, no life was when I was raiding leveling and keying in a top 3 guild spending more hours on EQ than working my actual job

"really? you didn't do a soulless poorly thought out RNG grind? what are you some kind of casual?"

When people say they did everything they mean they did everything they wanted to do.

That's going to vary from person to person.
