How about Dark Souls Online?

All I want from Dark Souls is a proper co-op mode, where instead of summoning people in for a short time, you all get to share a single game file and exist as actual players in one game instance. It would trivialise absolutely everything to have four people running around the world unlocking everything at once and massacring bosses in seconds, but that's exactly why I want it.

What, and lose the immersion of finding a good method of farming humanity/embers on the internet? Or telling your friends you ran out of fun coupons/humanity/embers/whatever on discord?

CoffeeBooze posted:Did any of the Arch Age rereleases capture that feel? Ive lost count of how many times Trion has rereleased AA at this point. I was tempted to try the new server on at least one occasion but I think Im pretty much done with anything Trion has been involved in at this point. I played the AA rerelase and eventually had to accept that it just wasn't the game I had hoped it would be. Originally I quit playing Archage because goon drama destroyed all the fun stuff, but this time I just quit because I was frustrated with the 'endgame'. The core problem with Archage too me is this; its ostensibly a game where you can do tons of things, but in practice you spend a ton of time doing stuff you HAVE to do. The game is plagued with dailies. So many dailies, and they offer substantial rewards that you need. If you don't keep doing your dailies, you will fall behind, and fast. All those other things you could be doing are not a substitute for the ever oppressive shadow of the daily grind. So yeah, you can do whatever you want, but if you're not committing multiple hours every single day to doing those dailies you're going to fall super far behind. And it felt like every other day I was learning about some other daily I needed to be doing because the rewards it offered were just so loving good. What's the point of designing a game with so many options about what you can do and then forcing the player to do such specific things? It feels so counterproductive. The times in Archeage where I got to do what I wanted and make my own plans I loved. It offers really unique experiences I just can't get in other games. I ended up as a despised criminal on the server, loathed by my own faction because I was repeatedly killing hapless fishermen. I would lure unsuspecting prey onto my boat, drive out into the middle of nowhere, and then slaughter them. I would lurk at the bottom of the sea, rising to the surface to nuke some guy as he swam to pick up his tuna, then sink back down into the depths. They loving HATED me for what I did, and I loved every second of it. But it was ultimately pointless because it turns out I was supposed to be grinding some daily dungeon I'd never even heard of because its loot payout was like 50x what I was doing. I hate dailies. I hate being forced to do specific things over and over in a sandbox. I want an MMO where I can actually do what I want, not do hours of chores every single day before being allowed to enjoy myself.

i like "dailies" when they're actually masqueraded weeklies or even better, monthlies. gw2 dailies i ended up only doing when it was accidental most of the time. they were just really stupid busywork. "mine 3 nodes" "kill stuff at this world location" "run a dungeon" ughh i don't feel like doing that kind of poo poo every day to maximize my profits. ff14 instead has daily roulettes you can do to cap weekly pve currency, but they're also not the only source of said currency. so, a couple of days you might log in and do a bunch of dungeon roulettes to cap your tomes, which, at "most efficient", is 5 expert roulettes, one each day. or, you can do something else that drops the currency and be done in a single day, but maybe it'll take you 3-4 hours (a single expert roulette is usually below 20 minutes). it's not "efficient", but it is a lot more "mood compatible". sometimes days feel like logging in and blowing up some pve, and some days i just wanna do something else. i can respect a mmo that understands that. e: also, yeah, one activity being vastly superior to everything else is dumb as hell. love to grind this same thing day in day out because it pays 10 times the amount of cash than other stuff Truga fucked around with this message at 09:47 on May 29, 2020 |

Daily quests are probably one of the worst things to happen to MMO design in a long while. They turn games into jobs. Except daily dungeon quests. I love those since they get more people into group content and group content is fun and good.

I like how FFXIV does dailies where there's a hardcap of like 12 on total dailies done per day, each faction gives like 3 tops, they take barely any time and also don't give anything that's mission-critical more importantly, when the level cap increases, unless you really want to wear a geordi visor or get an elephant mount the exp sucks on the old ones at the new levels so you can just pretend they don't exist edit: this is just the lovely solo dailies

Wow I guess you can say that like essentially every other mechanic in the universe, dailies can be good or bad depending on implementation. Land of contrasts yadda yadda.

I can tolerate dailies to an extent. It depends on what else there is to do in the game. I can also tolerate the exact same content, as it turned out while I was playing CoH Homecoming, because new heroes and power sets were fun to create and explore. Go figure. Dailies though, I've always seen them as a means of wealth accumulation. If a game didn't have dailies, you can bet that resource harvesting would get you the money you needed. In a sense I was more willing to do an objectively more boring activity if it brought in more money.

i want an mmo with innovative mechanics so badly that i've embarked on an impossible quest to make my own multiplayer game with which to punish my broke brain friends. i'm sick of every game either assuming that you either have 3 friends at most or is a glorified lobby calling itself an MMO (ahem I mean live service). I feel like at this point, the genre is so utterly busted that going back and trawling up ideas from old muds and browser games is the best way forward. minesweeper.io and tetris 99 are more innovative than most of the miserable hot bar mashers out there.

Ugh, the Donkey Crew game. Can't wait to see it get abandoned like Of Kings and Men. Glad I only gave them money once. Also, no there is no more good MMOs because they're all filled with MTX and Battle Passes, with an optional [mandatory] subscription, Creating a problem so we can sell you a solution!

The only good MMO is LotRO because you can see all the things you love if you love Tolkien’s legendarium. I got sucked back in due to needing COVID escapism and I just reached osgiliath for the first time. Gondor calls for aid, and I shall answer! They’re also doing a shitload of discounts and giveaways right now.
