It's cool that one of the big selling points of a lot of Kickstarter MMOs has been "We'll be free from evil publishers!" and they've all been object lessons in why 95% of developers need a publisher cracking the whip.

You can build a world without a plot, but its ultimately just the difference between a sandbox and a theme park. The latter needs a plot to advance the world. The former does not (because the players will provide the plot).

Riot is basically the new Blizzard in that they take an existing genre, give it some tweaks, put a poo poo-load of polish, and come out with a pretty good game. Both Legends of Runeterra and Valorant are both quite good for what they are, even if what they are isn't revolutionary. Which is to say that their MMO is absolutely going to be "WoW, but" and if you're hoping for a modern MMO in the style of Everquest or Ultima Online, keep throwing money at Kickstarters.

Morhaime's excuse is that Blizzard was focused on WoW and they just wanted to let the community do their thing with DOTA. By the time they realized their mistake, it was too late. I do wish we lived in the timeline where Heroes of the Storm came out before LoL and the MOBA genre wasn't defined by having a bunch of dumb, fiddly mechanics.

I like how every article I've seen on Palia has said "Made by former Riot/Blizzard/Zynga devs!" and then immediately qualified that with "These studios are so large that this is basically meaningless."

Blizz already tried a Starcraft shooter and canceled it. That it was apparently going well but got axed in favor of Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 definitely sounds like the actions of a studio with an eye towards the future, and not one just desperately turtling around their safer IPs. It sucks cause I've been watching some pro SC2 and fiddling with the multiplayer myself lately, and I constantly catch myself thinking "This would be an incredible Battlefield style game".

Its very obviously a janky PvE theme park hastily bolted on to a PvP sandbox. But its only 40 bucks. If you can get some pals to tool around it in, it'll probably be fun for the first month or two. Its long term success will depend on if Amazon is willing to keep putting money into it and if the devs can actually refine it into something more functional.

Probably Riot's own culture issues and also because the guy in charge of the Riot MMO has now been very directly implicated in all the Cosby Suite stuff. So yeah, they're keeping their heads down. Its also guaranteed to be one of the biggest releases of whatever year it comes out in, so there's not real benefit to joining in on kicking Blizzard while they're down.

The servers appear to be down right now and the devs haven't posted many updates beyond "The servers are down." Presumably because that sounds better than "oh god oh god oh gently caress" Link to the game's Discord

Cardboard Fox posted:Is it an issue with technology? We can make skin appear as real as our own, but can't explain to a computer how to create an interesting world? There is a drastic difference between teaching a computer more efficient ways to render graphics and teaching a computer to behave in a way that is both realistic and, more importantly, enjoyable for the player. For what it's worth, the things you describe have actually been attempted before. Ultima Online had a whole ecology that got annihilated the moment servers launched. The issue is not so much what is technology capable of it, its how players interact with your world. And inevitably, MMO players play like locusts.

Kira is a super positive contributor and influence on the MMO community. His Youtube content is really good. He's mentioned in earlier videos that he has a chronic health issue that keeps him from having a regular job. I hadn't heard it was cancer though.

There's been rumors about the Riot MMO for ages which indicates that some level of work was being done, and I don't think they poached Ghostcrawler from Blizzard or did the big lore revamp years ago just for the sake of League itself. That said, they only picked a guy for Game Director a few months ago and last I checked, they still had openings for stuff like Senior Combat Designer and Senior AI Designer. Optimistically 2024, realistically 2025.

Ghostcrawler never had any specific allegations aimed at him in either the Blizzard or Riot cases beyond being associated with the whole Cosby Suite thing at Blizzard. Of course, being a lead guy at one studio accused of rampant sexual misconduct and then becoming an executive at another studio accused of rampant sexual misconduct is Not a Good Look.

While the near future of the genre is a wasteland, Palia still exists and isn't massively overpromising or run by an MLM scammer. They havent officially announced a release date, but it'll probably by mid-late 2023.

Diablo Immortal has made $100 million despite the massive negative press. Whether they're made in China or the US, there is no future for big-budget mobile games except microtransaction hellscapes.

I actually don't think the Riot MMO is going to cause a revitalization of AAA MMO's. A lot of studios got burned trying to chase WoW money and have since realized that live service games like Destiny or Fortnite are way easier and more profitable. It won't help that Riot is a juggernaut that can afford to dump a tremendous amount of money and resources into this game, more so than even other top-tier studios. Its just going to be too much of a outlier for executives to consider worth copying, imo. On the other hand, a lot of executives are enormous loving idiots so who knows. I said come in! posted:Supposedly the new Riot MMORPG, the progress on development so far is that the entire gameworld terrain, dungeons, cities, etc. is finished now. Which I mean probably doesn't mean much. I don't think its populated with quests, items, mobs, etc. game still has a few years to go, but it sounds like development is moving along well. Where are you hearing this out of curiosity? AFAIK, Ghostcrawler is the only who's been saying stuff about the MMO and he has said nothing definitive about the game's progress other than its going well.

Ghostcrawler has said they want to release some solid information about it this year and my guess for that would be around the big League championship game in November. He talks about it decently often on his Twitter, but never in specifics so its just reading entrails for the most part. 1stGear fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Aug 18, 2022 |
