I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

New World put out a new trailer reiterating the 8/31 launch date. So maybe that’s mostly set now after however many delays.

Environment looks really cool, very similar to ESO with attention to detail. Combat looks kind of generic, like it looks fine and passable but not getting me excited. But honestly even if this turned out to be ESO-esque with a passable combat system I’d try it.

as a general rule, if there's fishing in an mmo, you can make an absolute killing by doing it because most people really don't want to fish and they assume "oh it's just fish what is that good for"

if you ever try to get into an established mmo with fishing, chances are you can gear up your dude by fishing a lot and selling the fish to established players for an enormous markup

This is also why I'm terrible at grinding mobs or whatever in any given game. Need a motivational reason beyond make number go up.

This is true for most gathering professions, provided gold sellers don't have the market cornered with their teleporting farming bots.

I got the invite to Bless too. They probably sent it to everyone who clicked interest.

I'm not downloading it. Never played any of the previous (five?) flopped Bless launches. I think it exists purely to sell whatever preorders or launch week stuff it can before shutting down ASAP and repeating the process.

Maybe I'll finally play Bless when it relaunches in 2030 for the fifteenth time.

I was playing this on Xbox when it came out, it's a boring game and feels extremely unbalanced and poorly thought out. It kinda has something similar to Guild Wars 2 for quests and world activities, but every enemy is a huge health sponge, and attacks do very little damage. It feels like you're suppose to be grouping with other players, or paying money for more powerful weapons.

Some people are just broken by the grinds. If I want a real grind I load up rs3 or osrs f2p until my brain is like “wtf are you doing mate?” then I can go back to a normal human.

RE: “Why don’t people answer my snarky question about china game?”

Being completely honest, people are probably over trying to convince someone who immediately conveys a jaded and cynical attitude toward the thing they’re (sort of) asking about to share in their excitement.

Its this basically. The most exciting release in the MMO genre in the last two years was...a re-release of a fifteen-year old game. We're dying out here, grasping for any mirage even if its a Chinagame or made by Jeff Bezos.

AoC does exist and is in alpha though this is the usual feeling about its current state:

I'm in the NDA pre-alpha....it's....k...... It needs a lot of work. A few more years at an absolute minimum....still closer to being done than star citizen. So it has that going for it.

As for SOLO, if ICR makes a thread for it then I will likely follow. After all these years I will still follow...

It was actually a MMO that just recently got shut off in Japan. I didn't play it but from what I've read and been told, it was apparently incredibly alright with fun combat classes and fun combat systems very much based on the single player experience that DD had. Wish it had a release in the west so we could have tried it out but alas.

I forgot they did make an MMO. I remember looking at the thread for that and seeing all the steps you had to go through to actually play and use the unofficial translation :effort:

Would have been cool to get a western release.

I played the Dragons Dogma MMO and it was worth the hassle. I remember using the google translate app on my phone to read a bunch of tue stuff the dialogue patch didn’t hit lol

the assassin in the mmo had dope rear end grappling hook moves you could use to slingshot around giant enemies
