A WoW clone with a proper action combat system has always been my dream.

bewilderment posted:Guild Wars 2 had a mod that was eventually turned into a proper in-game option with the first expansion to use 'Action Camera' which basically turned the cursor into a center-fixed reticle and auto-targeted whatever was highlighted. Basically making the game play like a third-person shooter. And that's the main reason I am playing it, really.

I want a Destiny 2 that's neither a shooter nor an isometric ARPG. There is no such game, is there?

Like Souls-style combat would be so cool in a large scale raid setting with truly imposing bosses. Yes to both of these.

I'd love to recommend GW2 but sadly it's greatest strength is also it's greatest drawback - limited character power progression. If you like numbers going higher and higher, GW2 will disappoint you - it's just not that kind of game. As for PvE, it does have dungeons but they are role agnostic and not all that fun to do, really. They are launch content that has never been updated. It has raids too and they are actually pretty good - definitely comparable to WoW. But as I mentioned - you don't raid to get better gear, you raid for cosmetics and the fun of it, really. It's still a great game though and it also does so many things right.

The way FF14 scales you down is less than elegant however. WoW does it much better.

I've actually tried it for a bit recently since they finally released a 64bit client so it doesn't run like absolute dogshit anymore. However I quickly lost interest. Mr. Neutron fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Aug 24, 2020 |

They don't do that any more. Nowadays it's automatic

bewilderment posted:Guild Wars 2 had a great idea where you levelled to 80 reasonably quickly and then you scale everywhere and can use all your skills and 'everywhere is endgame' Magic find was dumb indeed and has long since been removed but the point of the grinding was never to get gear, it was to get gold.

kirbysuperstar posted:Tera's been doing better on console than PC lately, I think. The console version runs at uncapped 1080p with no vsync even on the enhanced consoles so it's ugly as sin on a 4k TV and screen tears all the time. But I suppose console players don't really mind stuff like that.

bewilderment posted:Also this could all be out of date by now because I haven't played the game since like 2014 but I'm definitely assuming they didn't rewrite the whole game. Nope, the base game story is indeed just as bad as you remember. It does get much better in the living world story seasons 3 and especially 4, however. Xun posted:Is gw2 still locking all the "living story" garbage and most content updates behind the cashshop and then whining that making new armor sets is just too difficult the artists need to spend all their time churning out uncustomizable cash shop stuff every 2 weeks instead Living story: yes and no - it's free if you log on at least once during the episode (a month or two). After that, yes, you need to purchase the ones you missed. As for cosmetics: armor sets, no not really, they usualy seem to include a new one you can collect every now and then. However most other cosmetics, especially glider and mount skins are 100% cash shop only, yes.

Xun posted:the barrage of cashshop lootboxes and only adding the occasional multi month mega grinds (unless you pay real money to skip it!!) really killed my interest. They have such a good fashion system and they just abandoned it? There is only one type of cash shop loot box (always has been) and I am not aware of any mega grinds you can pay cash to skip. Are you sure you're thinking of the right game?

It looks pretty. As long as the combat is more action than tab-target I am willing to give it a try.

MH Knights posted:What has changed in modern Aion to make Classic so appealing? I played Aion at launch and gave up halfway to level cap as it was just another fairly generic KMMO who's only gimmick was (very) limited flight. It's this indeed and by far my most favourite was the Rift classic fiasco that lasted for what, 3 months?

30.5 Days posted:What grindy mmos play well with a controller? I have pinched an arm nerve and am trying to limit my keyboard/mouse time to work hours. I just want something that I can zone out and listen to audio books, but it turns out the only PC arpg with controller support is torchlight 3, which, ugh. Bless Unleashed (don't laugh). Native controller support, including UI and everything, and unlike FF14 it is an action MMO with combat actually suited to a controller. (Disclaimer: I have only tried it briefly yesterday. From what I hear it's not a very good game)

CuddleCryptid posted:This was my experience as well leveling up a white mage in FF and a priest in WoW. I like healing but the low level instances (or rather anything that is LFG-eligible up to and including some raids) have players that are so overtuned that you end up doing more DPS than actually healing and it ends up being pretty monotonous. And of course overwold questing as a healer is nightmarish if you are solo. Not sure about FF14 but in WoW, disc priest might be right up your alley.

I would also recommend giving GW2 a consideration. The game has many issues but most of them only really affecting veteran/'hardcore' players. For a complete newcomer it's a blast.

kirbysuperstar posted:Lost Ark? It supported controllers from day 1, that's entirely how I played it I tried it shortly after it came out and while you could technically play on a controller, all the interfaces and menus were built around kb+m. If that has changed I'll definitely give it another go.
