The fps mmo is an elusive dream: Face of Mankind Planetside Neocron I agree Planetside 1 was better and more granular / interesting than Planetside 2 but PS2 had a small revival at the start of the pandemic - and is getting a small dripfeed of content as far as I know. Foxhole is a lightly instanced war mmo sort of? it’s even full loot! Not sure what else there is. There was a weird trend in the 00s and 10s to call lobby based matchmaking games MMOs - similarly to Warframe - thinking of things like Navyfield and a few spaceship shooters with setups similar to War Thunder

fps games work better with a more progression-based lobby system like destiny has i think. more quick bursts of gameplay.

Oh you reminded me of space cowboy online or whatever - where you arcade flew a plane and shot aliens There was a game called Armada Online that was supposed to be the mmo sequel to the Dreamcast shmup Armada- which I played to death https://youtu.be/zDdEy_5gPIA https://youtu.be/2CzPU_sCrtE That would be an interesting one to see revisited in concept, something between realm of the mad god and armada blowing up massive waves of space bugs e: oh. Space Cowboy Online got renamed to Ace Online, and people still play it? https://youtu.be/cvEVpwOeEyE it looks like an incomprehensible fireworks mess so i can see the appeal wolfs fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jan 5, 2022 |

wolfs posted:The fps mmo is an elusive dream: Face of Mankind was fascinatingly bizarre and I really regret that I never got into it. It's weird player occupation of cities, corporate structures for guilds, pvp struggles over resources, and in-game politics are all the kinds of things games felt like they were really gearing up to start including in a substantial way but it just never really materialized. FoM is currently being revived but I think the effort is dead since the website is sparse and the forum is mostly silent but it's technically happening https://www.mankindreborn.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST_Lcq8hWgA

Daybreak did some management jiu-jitsu and spun off the PSide2 team into a separate company, Rogue Planet Games. RPG seems to be handling the game a lot better than Daybreak ever did. In fact they're planning to publish Oshur as a new island-based map with some water-based gameplay. I can't find it now but I read recently they were down to a skeleton crew to run the game, like 6 people total, but were able to start hiring new people to work on various things.

Endless Ages looks like a fantastic fever dream - no idea what’s going on. god now I’m reminded of Starsiege Tribes and thinking how wild games like that would be with inflated player counts Did any of you play MasterSword? It was an attempt at an MMO on the Half Life engine. They had a half dozen servers with big maps and your character data was tied to your steam ID - similar to those Warcraft modded CS 1.6 servers. If you ran to a certain spot on a map in one server it would redirect you to the other one, unless it was full. Oh, and it was a free mod. A quick YouTube search and apparently there was continued development for a while? I don’t remember it being called MasterSword Continued… https://youtu.be/A9UDkSgl_S0 low fidelity, high style, strong netcode - that’ll be the next interesting MMO with groundswell if I had to guess

I'm still on their mailing list because it's a fun piece of nostalgia that pops up in my inbox every few months, it's still going strong last I checked. It doesn't have huge numbers, but there are enough diehards that it'll probably last forever.

One of my roommates played WW2OL back when it launched for a while. I'm pretty sure he said that for a while after launch, placement of scenery such as bushes and trees were randomly generated client side. This meant that you might think you are hiding prone in some bushes, but to your opponent you're just lying out in the middle of the grass.

I mean, technically everyone should be going off the same RNG seed, so getting the bushes in the same places unless their RNG is bugged.

I was just thinking about this a few minutes ago: Is WoW now the "Hardcore" PvE game? I remember when it came out it was praised for being less of a poop-socking timesink than EQ. What's EQ's endgame like these days? I haven't played WoW in a long time but I know there's tons of rep grind and daily quests and Conduit Energy or whatever and to stay on top of things at end game is a big grindy timesink. Never played EQ enough to get to endgame. Has WoW surpassed even EQ in this regard?

I honestly would love to see a MMO that has dungeons where you can do it instanced, so everyone can knock out quests, but it always has a non-instanced version that people can camp. The potential items found in non-instanced versions would be unique only to them. That feeling of running into people in giant dungeons is always exciting, and same when you snag the camp for a really neat item. They also need to do away with everyone having the ability to zip around the entire world like it's nothing. Design your worlds where travelling is both dangerous and rewarding. Both of these lead me to believe there will never be a good MMO again.

I like modern "narrative" MMO dungeons but man I do miss the days of running around awful places like Wailing Caverns and Blackrock Depths Reminds me I should reinstall EQ just to explore Unrest. I never did back in the day and since you level so fast now and it's like a level 20 dungeon IIRC I could do it in a weekend, probably.

EQ2 has my all time favorite dungeons I think, they have plenty of instances but also tons of open world dungeons. EQ2 had/has a bunch of fun poo poo to do with other people, heritage quests for unique items, various other questlines for unique stuff, open world dungeons, instances, named mobs in the open world for AA exp and loot, etc.
