Frog Act posted:How did this work out for you, I've looked at GV many times but always moved on because of the poor reviews I've played it on and off since before steam. When i played last year it was extremely janky but they had made some really great improvements. The PVP is actually pretty fun, and the RvR creates a lot of fun dynamics with other players. It reminds me a whole lot of the Mount and Blade persistant servers, so if you played or enjoyed that i would recommend it.

Glenn Quebec posted:I mean, as Jim said, its Jank as poo poo. But the core gameplay loop is fun. The RvR feels like a real-time DaOC without magic. I'm having a lot of fun. I inadvertently picked the underdog faction and getting my poo poo smashed every castle or fight on the field kind of stinks. Which one is the underdog faction now?

Zaphod42 posted:The good parts of MMOs has always been the shell. The big world, the social experience, long-term progress and significant, tangible gains on character growth. You touch on some pretty key points here, main one being progress and character growth. It really boils down to a players ability to set goals for their progression then the amount of options available to meet those goals. Playing archeage unchained with my fiancee is a great example of this. When we were thinking of buying it she was most excited about owning land, crafting cool items and farming. She has no experience with standard MMO tab targeting controls and the first day playing was spent breaking down the first wall to her goals, an archaic lovely control scheme. Once she gets the hang of it we look up how to get our farms. Turns out getting your farms is literally gated by hours and hours of bear rear end collecting to hit level 30 and 50. She powers through and gets her first farm and we end up placing it (unknowingly) in a place that is constantly at war. Now her farming goals are completely poo poo on by gankers and she's completely over it. You have a player that wants to grow potatoes so bad that they fight lovely controls, unclear objectives, and 30 levels of bear rear end to do it. Admittedly placing the farm in a PVP zone is user error but the game let it happen, and it let it happen after a torrent of other barriers. The real question is, if she could place her farm at level 1 and immediately start progressing towards a goal she was interested in, would she then go out and farm bear asses with lovely controls to defend it from gankers?

Zaphod42 posted:What if your fiance could focus entirely on farming, and even hire people who want to fight to do the fighting for her so she could still place her farm in that pvp zone if she felt like it? And then that would generate content for other players, that they have a reason to fight, to help your fiance defend her farm, instead of just collecting bear asses for some NPC. I think that scenario would fall apart as soon as you had to rely on people showing up on time, and my fiance actually paying them. User collection quests could work if they had clearly defined systems beyond just "x items for x gold". Like having experience or contribution rewards on top of the gold the issuer puts up.

For me the game that got crafting right was Mortal Online. The weapons had different parts that effected it's performance, and each part could be crafted with different materials which would have different modifiers based on stuff like weight and durability. For example say you want to make a bow. It would have two parts to it, the back and the core. the back effects draw strength (basically damage, full draw time, and str requirements) and to some degree durability, the core effects durability and to a lesser degree draw strength. If you used a soft wood, the bow would draw super fast, be usable by most characters with low strength and be more accurate but the damage would suffer. The opposite was true if you used something like bone or tendons. This meant that there was basically an unlimited amount of options for crafting and being good at it required research and exploration. Most of your time was spent out in the world exploring for different resources to test out. You could really rake it in if you found something that worked really well.

As someone who liked MO1 a lot getting to play around with MO2 early was totally worth it. If you are looking for a complete experience I would save your money. I really only log in every other patch or so to check out the new features.

Boar It posted:Yeah we'll see about that once the game goes persistent, but so far they've been focusing on the basics and getting in all the remaining core features at least. One thing is for sure though, the game will have plenty of interesting people in the game from day 1. There are guilds and people from MO1 with established reputations and loads of grudges that have built up over the past decade. Watching the veterans fight both in-game and in the discord is hilarious. Yeah the MO1 vets are completely out of their minds toxic. I think the politics in MO1 over the last few years just boiled down to an unbelievable amount of poo poo talking with nobody really wanting to risk their pre-patched mounts and empty nerd castles. The ego's really are way beyond any other game I've played.

Scruffpuff posted:I finally tried it today and the vibe I got was a slower moving ARPG with emphasis on big moves and combos on huge crowds, rather than just spamming every attack until both your mouse and your hand break aka Diablo. It does remind me a bit of BDO in the sense that the world is just there to put large mob groups in it to mow down. There's a "story" but BDO has a "story" too. This. Coming from a year and a half balls deep in bdo, and burning out on all of it's bloated features. the "system" fatigue set in almost immediately with lost ark. Lots of collectables, reptative tasks and time sink fluff all perfectly crafted to give you the illusion of progression while doing the bare minimum gameplay wise. The combat feels pretty slick. Mashing up 20 mobs at a time feels great. The combat feels so slick that it makes you really notice how lovely the Diablo style controls feel. It's probably a personal thing, but it felt like it would have been better served with twin stick style controls.

It's basically the same turn based grid battles with a card deckbuilder mechanic (YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT). It has no gathering/crafting for now, it's just battles after battles and dungeons. It's kinda fun? But y'know, Ankama so we'll see. This seems like like not at all an MMO.

Mustang posted:I had a blast with Conan Exiles and it's games like that that have largely replaced playing MMO's for me. I just wish survival online games would ditch the pvp stuff, because pvp is never good. And the games that do pvp well only have good pvp for a brief moment in time before being poo poo just like they are in all games. Or at least try something like faction based or something. 100% full pvp is exhausting.

30.5 Days posted:There's a karma system that is reasonably annoying if you kill someone unprovoked, so I haven't seen hardly any ganking, maybe twice over a very long period of time, but the social mores of BDO are that the stronger person gets the spot. This doesn't USUALLY cause issues, because they've made a lot of strides in balancing grind spots so that higher-difficulty zones semi-consistently give better rewards, so it's somewhat rare to encounter way stronger people at a spot. If you can way outgrind someone (i.e. you're in a PVE-focused class and start just racing them for spawns), they might just back off and let you have it if they don't like PVP themselves or don't want to deal with the karma penalty, but a lot of times they'll fight you for the spot. People will also generally offer to duel the spot first so it's rare to just get merked. If you ignore them and try to hang onto it anyway, though, they'll kill you. Getting killed by players also doesn't have massive consequences (every spot has a nearby spawn point and death penalties are lighter than wow's at lower gear levels, without the corpse run. at higher gear levels you might break some socketed gems so it's a repair bill of 5-10min of grinding unless you decked yourself out beyond your means). Lastly, every area has multiple viable rotations for grinding and you can switch servers every half hour or so if you want to roll the dice on a rotation not being camped, so a stronger player laying claim to a spot you wanted doesn't really derail your day. Karma was a joke though. People would just have their guild declare war on yours and poof no more karma or consequences. The main issue with BDO is how most of it's fun mechanics are abandoned / aren't viable at all for meaningful character progression (IE: a lot of life skills, sailing, housing etc...). Features that get the most dev hours like world bosses, arena stuff and territory control (PVP in general) are actively terrible. I quit BDO after a year of almost addict levels of playing after my first territory war battle. It's like it was developed in a vaccum with no understanding that nobody wants to play dynasty warriors if every character is lubu and its running at 5 fps in PS1 mode.
