I looked this up and the website has instructions for playing that include buying the game from an offsite and requiring a VPN? Weird

kedo posted:Tell me more about this... All feats and skills are available to your character with a point buy system. Classes are no longer a thing. Any tier of feats can be cherry picked, you can take Shadow Dance and otherwise not touch the Subtlety tree if you want. Gear can drop with completely new, build defining abilities on them, like turning Judgment into a rogue combo point generator. These abilities can be pulled off of gear and put into an archive, that you can then transplant to any number of other equipment you find. It's TBC, but runs in Wrath and has not just LFG, but timewalking classic dungeons and raids. Parties and raids can be cross-faction. If turned on, PvP makes you drop a few equipped items on player death, for the other guy to pick up. Gear is soulbound, but can be turned into PvP gear that is free for anyone to use and resell. They constantly tweak things so that they work with their new systems. It is probably the most fun I've ever had on a private server, it's just impossible for me to find more Europeans to raid with.

Fixes a lot of issues I had with the original game, but I've been taking a break since my friends lost interest Also this seasons Wildcard ruleset just isn't as fun as the Draft ruleset from the last two seasons.

Eox posted:It brought the players back but it remains to be seen how long they can hold on People will generally unsub whenever they release the 2nd raid tier. Having all your hard work flushed down the drain in an instant isnt exactly a motivator to keep playing, and they do it 3-4 times each expansion.

CYBEReris posted:it's not gonna be good but im morbidly curious if it will end up being popular anyway or die fast after the initial wave of enthusiasm I think League is a worse designed game than Dota but they came in at the right time and f2p streamlined Dota was the right move. I do think it's more likely going the Valorant route though I am interested if they'll tell blatant lies about the netcode in the lead up like they did with that game. I kinda wonder if hiring Ghostcrawler was always for an MMO because it made no sense nabbing a guy from a primarily PVE MMO for your PVP game.

yeah everyone seems to say the levelling is a bit boring, but the people who got to do RvR says its a DAoC clusterfuck, which might end up being fun

I feel like the concept of the gear treadmill should go away. Nothing burns me out in MMOs faster than having to regrind every time new content comes out.

Having gear progression is great. There being chances to get build defining items or rares that make a difference or even better, change play style - those are all cool. As an example, PoE, while not an MMO, does this rather well. What I don’t love is where most MMOs just linearly scale up gear as you level up. At level 20 you’re just using an item that is identical to level 10 but with slightly bigger numbers and a different icon.

I like catch-up mechanics like in FFXIV. Just run the newest dungeon 3 or 4 times and you’ll be good to go. Basically the best way to play an MMO is the day a patch/expansion drops and a bit afterwards, maybe a week. And also for a few days or a week or so after every major drop. If you’re not enjoying a catch-up mechanic you’re probably doing something wrong.

As an example, PoE, while not an MMO, does this rather well. Or worse, exponentially scale it so that having the highest ilevel matters way more than skill and so a level 60 player is a god compared to a level 10 player. Would love to see more MMOs without levels at all. I also miss the earlier days of D&D and Everquest where each item was significant. In EQ you get a +1 Longsword and its like holy poo poo, that's amazing, I'm gonna keep that for the next 20 levels. The modern WoW design has you swapping loot nearly as fast as in Diablo. Which makes it all feel more temporary and less meaningful. At least until the very end of raiding when you're just grinding some rare tier drops. super sweet best pal posted:I feel like the concept of the gear treadmill should go away. Nothing burns me out in MMOs faster than having to regrind every time new content comes out. Destiny isn't even an MMO and between having to manage 200 guns in my inventory and having them all become obsolete every season so I have to grind replacements, I basically can't even play that game anymore. Definitely they've gone way too far with it. I think gear treadmill can work as long as you have discipline about how and when you distribute loot. But most devs are just like "hey loot = dopamine so more loot = more fun game" and that only works for so long

Some of the Korean MMO's are really really pretty, which is a shame because they're all pay to win.

The thing I hate most about KMMOs is the godawful lovely malicious rootkit anticheats. It's never anything at least slightly above board, and they all block you for dumb things. PUBG kicks you for having Visual Studio or vscode open.

How are games with no or a limited treadmill doing these days anyway? I cant remember the last time I heard anything, good or bad, about GW2. ESO seems to be reasonably popular at least.

ESO seems to be reasonably popular at least. GW2 is... fine. They still have the best seasonal events. I also find their monetization model the most palatable. The people who like it really like it, which makes it hard to get an objective description, but that's true of a few other MMOs too. I didn't find ESO to be treadmill free. Running dungeons with higher level/better geared players than you completely broke them. The last time I tried it, players were speed-running content so fast that I never got a chance to understand either the plot or mechanics of boss encounters before pubbies had finished them and started the next one. While technically free, ESO limits inventory space very aggressively to force you to purchase the subscription which provides much better inventory management.

Thats a bummer. This was my experience playing DDO and it made an interesting game a lot less fun. Is there any point to ESO's gear treadmill at this point? I dont remember there being raid teirs or anything like that when I played it. The game seemed to have deemphasized end game pretty heavily in favor of questing and other leveling related stuff.
