Veröffentlicht von: gracjanski am 04. Juni 2004 um 16:35 Uhr
Gestern wurde ein Interview mit dem "Lead Content Designer" von EQ2, Chris Cao auf EQ-2.com veröffentlicht. Hier die Zusammenfassung:
Zu Anfang des Spieles bekommt jeder Spieler ein Einzimmer- Appartement. Im Laufe des Spieles bekommt der Spieler weitere Möglichkeiten immer bessere Wohnungen oder Häuser anzumieten bis hin zu einer Gildenvilla.
Im Gegensatz zu EQ1 wird man in EQ2 mehrere Monster zur gleichen Zeit bekämpfen müssen. Ausserdem gibt es die Möglichkeit des Heroic Systems, die es in EQ1 nicht gab.
Es wird viele versch. Arten von Quests geben, angefangen von einfachen Aufgaben bis hin zu komplexen Abenteuern, die mehrere Missionen beinhalten. Zu Beginn wird es aber keine Quest geben um epische Waffen zu bekommen.
Rogue sind eine Klasse im Scout Archetyp. Scout werden fähig sein sich zu verstecken, schleichen und Schlösser zu öffnen. Dabei kann aber die Art, wie diese Tätigkeiten ausgeführt werden, variieren. Zum Beispiel werden Bards Lieder singen, Rogues Dietriche verwenden.
Fragen zum Handwerk und Handel wurden nicht kommentiert

| 1. Hello Chris, thx for answering some questions for - EQ-2.com -. Please tell us more about you and the job you doing at Sony Online Entertainment.
Chris: My name is Chris Cao and I am the Lead Content Designer for EQII.
2. What is your favorite part of Everquest2, of what are you most exciting ?
Chris: I`m most excited by the opportunity to make a game that appeals to the casual player, a game that can co-exist with EQ1 in the marketplace. Through the use of instanced encounters and group-focused mechanics we have created a challenging, immersive game for players who want more control over over their game play time.
3. We have talked about housing before, but please tell us what kind of houses we will see and how customizing of houses will function in Everquest2.
Chris: As refugees from The Shattered Lands, every player will receive a small one-room player house with their introduction to the game. As they progress through the world, other opportunities will arise to lease apartments and houses with larger and more appealing lay outs. The ultimate example of this is the guild mansion, a large, multi-room structure meant to support the congregation of all members of a player guild.
4. Whats the big different about fights in Everquest1 and Everquest2 ?
Chris: Everquest II focuses heavily on controlling the risk versus reward of single player group encounters. Players will find themselves fighting multiple monsters at once, adapting to the tactics created by the NPC`s encounter brain. Add to this the situational options that Heroic Opportunities provide and basic combat feels substantially different than it did in EQ1.
5. Quests, what kind of Quests are available for the players ? Are there such huge and epic quests as we know from the original everquest ?
Chris: Quests in EQII run the gamut from simple tasks to on-going adventures that will last many sessions. We will not, however, have quests for epic weapons at launch.
6. Whats the role of the rogue professions in Everquest 2 ? Is there any lockpicking or hiding and sneaking ?
Chris: The rogue is one of three classes within the Scout archetype. Scouts will all have the ability to hide, sneak and pick locks. The way in which they execute these abilities will differ substantially between sub-classes (i.e. a bard`s song versus a rogue`s picks).
7. Would you please tell us an example how crafting will work in Everquest 2. Whats different to Everquest ?
Chris: We haven`t yet release the particulars on our crafting system.
8. What about trading. Will we have any kind of marketplace like in Everquest ? Or player owned vendors ?
Chris: We haven`t released the specifics of our trading markets yet. |
