A Very EQ2 Week

by Brandon

Well, time for a quick wrap-up of my goings on in EQ2 this week.

I’m currently sitting at level 9 on my Guardian and level 8 on my Wizard. Not sure which one I want to go with for sure yet. To be honest, I’m really enjoying my Guardian, but I know from other games that the “tank” class can quickly feel like a chore so I’m holding off on declaring a “main” for the moment.

I like a lot of things about EQ2, several things I think it far surpasses WoW on. This wasn’t true at launch, but SOE seems to have tried harder to make sure they keep a quality game on the market. Maybe it is partially burnout, but WoW has been showing less and less creativity and polish in design and instead throwing the old “put it in now, fix/balance later” approach with a lot of their content. I don’t enjoy it and seeing a game that is (at least at low levels) as polished as WoW was at low levels is nice. If it keeps that same level of quality all the way through I will be very happy.

Anyway, I’ll post some more thoughts later, but that’s what I’ve got so far.

    Have you tried an illusionist? That was my main when I played for a while and I was having a blast. Nothing like siccing your pet on an enemy while his friends are mezzed and helpless.
