I see three problems: 1) There isn't really anything new or novel this game is doing to make it stand point from a number of poop tier MMO startups. The classes are generic, the ideas are pretty generic, I don't really see a "hook" 2) "Flagging" PVP is just PVE. The incentives to PVP have to be absolutely overwhelming or 99% of players will avoid it. You have to force people into conflict against their will, al-la ArcheAge oceans by really using a carrot on the stick. Otherwise people will just choose safety. This is a prime reason why PVP in Black Desert fails. 3) UE4, as FireWhizzle has already pointed out, is really really good for making games pretty, but really bad for supporting large numbers of players in the same area. The alternative is heavy instancing, which makes MMOs intrinsically flawed and bad, or switching to a different engine. Gutting the netcode with such a small team and small budget is unlikely. Having said that, it's a serious MMO famine atm so I will follow it anyway

Zaodai posted:I agree whole-heartedly with this, and I believe this is one of the things that actually has kept World of Warcraft popular for so long. Its netcode is pretty good in just about any environment. Playing on low ping? High ping? loving dial up? You're mostly fine (except for capital cities on dial up, I guess). They even have movement partially clientside somehow without speed hacks being an issue, so you don't get jittery lag-step animations like most MMOs, everything stays fluid on your screen so you don't really notice it unless you have like a full second of lag. This also translates into PVE and PVP as well: I stand by the opinion that after being out for 14 years, WoW still has some of the most fluid combat animations I've ever seen in an MMO. It makes it a joy to play, visually.

My entire experience with The Matrix Online was travelling on the subway in game with my then college roommate, trying to find the best combination of sunglasses versus leather trenchcoat. I'm not sure if there was an actual game beyond that.

SweetBro posted:Vanilla WoW was also complete poo poo compared to most MMOs today and simply had the advantage of being one of the first to market. Well yes, and yes. But in 2003 it was god tier and obliterated everything else out there, and all these years later still has a population equal to the rest of the market share and then some. FireWhizzle already touched on a big reason: They built it on an engine made of MMO gold, it was tough, flexible, and very responsive. Using the wrong engine (lol star citizen) is setting yourself up from failure from the getgo. It's always the edgelord thing to poo poo on WoW, but you're quantifiably an idiot if you don't think it was a good game. Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 6, 2017 |

It's also way a lot of AA survivors formed into BMW as well. We like to play seriously and have fun, but don't like all the drama.
