Harrow posted:What sorts of things are there to do in BDO, out of curiosity? I want to try it mostly because the Wizard class looks crazy fun It will seem like your dream MMO because it has everything. Trade goods runs, guild wars over tax nodes, ganking, open world bosses, grinding, boats, underwater diving, hunting deer with a rifle in FPS mode, fishing, horse taming, etc etc. After a while you'll discover the upgrade system and how it's tied to RNG. Not the nice sort of RNG. You get more rolls on the roulette wheel or rather have an easier time of it with cash shop consumables. It's not too obnoxious but don't be misled by the B2P model - to be effective in end game you're looking at fifty dollars worth of pets to pick up all the loot, a thirty dollar costume and maybe another 30-50 dollars in inventory and weight boosts. The pets are account wide, the rest is per character. Does that seem rather expensive? It is.

The Moon Monster posted:5 years from now Activision Blizzard will cancel development on Diablo 4 and declare Diablo Immortal to have been the real Di4blo all along. I think it's a bit bold to assume development of Diablo 4 will even start. Unless it's on mobile too.

Old school controls are CTRL, ALT, spacebar and the cursor keys. Nothing else. No mouse input or anything. I mean who can afford the luxury of loading a mouse driver in 640k low mem anyway? Certainly not with your Sound Blaster and CD-ROM drivers already loaded.

Here you go. A newish MMO (apparently) that comes out soon in the Western market https://www.astellia-mmo.com/home It looks like everything we've all seen before. No I haven't played it and yes you can buy a hundred dollar founder pack. Knock yourself out. *re-reads thread title* Oh. Will there ever be a good MMO. Right. Misread that bit.

Ehud posted:Lazy Peon looked at that game a few months back That looks like the same interface in... uh... excuse me while I look this up. Riders of Icarus! That was it. But with better graphics. That game was thoroughly... a game that ticked the checklist of features but missing enthusiasm. About 5 years late to market. Edit - I'm going to make a prediction: It won't set anyone on fire, it will launch and continue to exist in maintenance mode for years. You'll be able to play and with any luck might see 1-2 confused people levelling near you. Otherwise there will be 20-30 AFK whales in [city centre] dripping with cash shop cosmetics on idling mounts that are all on fire or glowing purple.

If you get an endorphin fix from grinding and making numbers go up then I can see KMMOs being quite appealing. Not saying anyone is wrong for doing so.

Good luck playing Archeage without teleporting invulnerable hackers since it's all client side authenticaiton. Unless that's what you specifically want to do of course, in which case Godspeed.

Groovelord Neato posted:games workshop is dumb as hell because they should've got someone to make a battlefront: warhammer 40k. that poo poo'd print money. Eternal Crusade exists and is terrible. It was originally meant to be a large open world competitive game but they didn't get the funding so it ended up being a clunky team deathmatch. I played a couple games in alpha and went "gently caress I wasted my money" and never went back. Had it been an actual good product then it probably would have done a lot better.

Give it a proper modern graphics overhaul and Minecraft is the good MMO people are looking for. No I don't just mean "God Rays". It needs that too obviously but all those character sliders from Black Desert et al and stuff like that.

Why aren't there more good mmos out there? Also if the game isn't literally Everquest or WoW it's not an mmo by my byzantine standards which I refuse to detail or expand on.

SweetBro posted:Lots of reasons. The two big ones are cost and design. Cost is well obvious. The design issue relates more to the fact the biggest issue with MMOs is also it's biggest draw: other people. Creating a ruleset where thousands of strangers need to be able to interact with each other while still enjoying a core gameplay loop is actually really loving hard. Which is why most "good" MMOs just do the WoW/EQ loop, since that's one of the few rulesets that actually works. Most games that strays too far from those design principles tends to go down the shitter pretty quickly. I was making a joke aimed at a certain poster the previous page who I didn't want to name. Joke ruined.

Toshimo posted:The Secret World was sooooo cloooooose. Playing Secret World to at least the conclusion of the main story should be mandatory for these discussions since so much boils down to why don't they do X instead of Y? Where X is "unpopular thing I think is cool" and Y is "popular thing I think is boring". Secret World probably already did X and it turns out that outside of a niche group it's simply not a popular design decision for good reason. Certainly not the key to long term financial viability. But you have to actually get what you want to discover why you don't really want it after all. Hence people should play Secret World.

The mechanics at every single level were awful. But, god drat was it the raddest themepark you could slap an MMO in. Pretty much. I loved TSW despite the gameplay by virtue of the story/setting. Examining it entirely on the core gameplay loop alone it was a complete failure.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:To me, a MMO describes a game with a persistent online world you can interact with others in that you can drop in and out of, a game where you join up with a few other people at a time before going back into your hub just feels like a game lobby browser with graphics, which sorta dampers the massive multiplayer online description to me Yeah I was disappointed with Vindictus too. Nice combat otherwise I guess.

It didn't help that Wildstar had a very polarizing art direction either. I thought it looked like cartoon vomit. No I never played it but I did enjoy the threads both here and on reddit with people desperately trying to pump it up and attract new players.

I kept hearing about wildstar housing. Always thought if the rest of the game is so bad that playing with the barbie house is the best bit that's pretty damning. I also remember the "dimension" housing in trion's rift. Did absolutely nothing for actual content or gameplay.

Zaphod42 posted:Not every game needs to be for every gamer. While completely true that won't stop a disjointed army of internet narcissists out there from demanding that every game developer conform to their armchair One True Vision of what every video game should be. Especially that game you like and they don't but want changed to be like other game they used to play but not any more. Toss 'em all a clip binder full of BASIC manual pages and tell them to go write a text adventure or something. It'll do them good.

kaffo posted:So, I was talking to some friends the other day about MMO combat. I'm sure it's been talked about in here somewhere in detail, but what even would be satisfying combat for like 1000+ hours? Rock paper scissors with instant death on failure and 30 minutes corpse runs. The real answer is whatever you can play while barely paying attention, drunk and listening to your favorite playlist of songs or podcasts. Anything that requires too much active attention won't make 1000 hours.

30.5 Days posted:That uhhh elyon game is I guess open for some people, does anyone like it? Elyon: Infinite Realms is a bland kmmo. Did you ever play Tera and remember the questing expereince there? It's kind of like that but more modern. Still boring. Can't bring myself to keep playing it. Source: Myself, with CBT access. It's the same pie filling we've seen before with a fresh crust. I mean if someone comes along who has never played an MMO before in their life then perhaps that person will enjoy it. Could be thats their target market. Whether it exists in sufficient quantity is the question.

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.

Groovelord Neato posted:EQ Next looked stupid so I'm glad it was canceled. It wasn't all bad.  Just mostly bad. Those were max graphics btw. Edit - for those who never tried it, alpha for EQ landmark was "Here is a barren landscape with no features, mobs, npcs, rivers, water, etc. Nothing but other players, a barren wasteland and an invisible zone wall. Go play minecraft with voxels or something.". Not seen: body outlines drawn on the ground near the towers. I'd already lost interest from boredom and didn't put them in.

I'd argue Lineage 2 looked better than Aion, graphically. Art style too maybe. Doesn't really matter now in the modern day though. No idea what happened to official Lineage 3 so I guess that was a dead end of video games. Project TL by NCSoft? Maybe. Closed beta was 2016 so I assume nothing went well.

Tera Online is also the origin of many alienware memes. During launch there were actual marketers talking about their alienwares and how good they were in global chat. People didn't like that. Obviously observant folks realised that pretending to game on alienware was a free and ready source of angry comments in nearly any online game. Took about 10 years for that to run out of steam. People these days generally never take it seriously but you can maybe catch one every now and then. If you're not sure boot up a mmo riddled with RNG and claim your alienware (that you definitely own) gives you better RNG because of promotional related coding. Tell anyone that gives you poo poo that they're simply jealous of your superior alienware, and that alienware beats a custom build every time because alienware is better. If anyone simply goes "lol" type "I'm sorry you're too poor to afford a good computer like an alienware". It doesn't really have the same immediate effect it used to but you know, decade old at this point. Still you never know what fish you can catch.
