Are there any fun MMOs out there?
>>257807513
WoW
Tales of Savior will save the MMO genre.
>>257807513
Not anymore there aren't.
MapleStory.
Let me explain: all classes feel different, heavy emphasis on cooperation, pretty good upgrade system (IMO). It's still a shit RPG mixed with platforming elements though, and by shit I mean armors only give you better stats and the whole combat doesn't rely on skills and more on end-game gear. Quest system is talk to X, kill Y amount of enemies. Some jump quests here and there mixed with themed-dungeons.
>>257807513
GW1
>>257807876
nope, maplestory is shit
most p2w mmo ever, upgrading system is stupid, quests suck after the first fifty levels and it's just a grind fest afterwards, combat is boring, community is shit, god I could go on.
tl;dr stay the fuck away from maplestory
I like... ESO
Please don't hurt me
>>257807876
It probably has the worst questing system to date, though
Every quest is a variant of
kill x of
fetch x of
interact with y, x amount of times
>>257807627
>Ragnarok Online: Grindan Forever Yet Again
>>257808140
If you want my opinion, stay away from any MMO to be honest. They're all complete shit. Don't bother investing time on them when in the end it'll all just go to waste (I'm talking about your precious time here).
>>257807876
>typing this much for a P2W game with nothing but fetch quests, grinding, and boring boss combat which is just mashing a few buttons and standing in the same spot
Plus the bosses only get "harder" with most health so it's just that boring boss fight gameplay for longer and longer. There are only around 4 skills that are actually a threat and all big bosses have them so the bosses aren't even different aside from asthetics.
>>257808240
I would play it but there is literally no RP scene.
>>257808262
Damn, it's as if I'm playing TERA
>>257808351
>actually grinding in MMOs
This is why you people don't have fun in these games, you just play them like single player games with harder fights and party members that are real people. Stop that.
>>257808373
>>257808262
B-but that's exactly what I wrote. Do you guys read beyond the first few words or something?
Also, if my only choice is MapleStory, I think it's safe to say that all MMOs are fucking shit.
>Second life if you stay away from the perverts
>MineCraft
>Private server WoW
F F X I V
>>257808710
Second Life is not an MMO.
Minecraft is not an MMO.
Vanilla WoW is shit but at least it's an MMO so I'll give you a pass on that one based on opinions. But you sound like a retard.
>>257808364
This is pretty true. Any MMOs gameplay is just a mediocre single player RPG. Get friends and find a game with bosses that interest you, and with decent gameplay. Point and click WoW style is outdated as shit now.
>>257808373
I did read it. Recommending it in a "fun" thread is not okay. Most people on here played it when it first started out, and we all agreed it was shit after awhile.
>>257808710
I seen a lot of anons talking about how great Shroud of the Avatar will be in the ArcheAge general
>>257808710
>If you stay away from the perverts
So, just don't play?
>MMOs
>fun
Hahahahahahahahahaha
FFXIV is the only one worth playing
Vindictus
It's combat is fun, impactful, and pretty varied among all classes, there are parries and combos and you are generally not just pressing 1 button like a retard
When it comes to pay2win bullshit, it's not as apparent as in other nexon games until much much later in the game, and the only thing you can pay for is cosmetics early on, if you want to be autistic about armor sets.
>>257808859
>Massive multiplayer online
Wot.
>>257808914
Looking forward to elite myself but Shroud does seem to be moving in the right direction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGknJPT-g-Q
Try Vindictus, Final Fantasy or Phantasy Star Online 2.
Vindictus has a lot of single player instances, but the boss fights are pretty good and there are raids.
DFO will kick into beta again someday, that'll be fun as fuck
>>257809283
fucking asshole lord british, he ruined Ultima Online
>>257808240
Nice shirt
>>257808859
I assume you never played second life
As for minceaft.....its more of an MMO compared to modern instanced games
>>257807513
I'm having fun with Kritika, but you'll need to brave moonrunes.
>Final Fantasy XIV everywhere
What about XI?
Are there any non-subscription servers for it?

I love that.
One time in Everquest Online Adventures (lol) there was this guy who happened to always be in the same spot at the same time as me every day, and we got in the habit of grouping up and grinding together. Every day. We never talked. He was like a really smart and helpful NPC.
>>257807513
>>257807513
Darkfall Unholy Wars. Lots of non-instanced pvp and drop all loot on death.
>>257810154
Anon maybe you should go to sleep, you're being autistic again

Clearly you've never played Ragnarok before.

>>257808402
I ran an RP guild for the first few months. It was actually pretty good, even though tesorp was filled to the brim with horrible Mary Sue faggots that spilled into the game and ended up polluting the entire RP scene. I handed it off to an officer who can still stomach it and unsubbed.
Also the Devs fucked the lore hard in just about every way imaginable.
>>257807513
If you want to put a lot of time into something that is fun andrageworthytrydota2.
If you're looking for an action fighting comic book based mmo try DC Universe online
>>257807513
Firefall was fun once
But all fun gets nerfed every new patch
>>257810702
If you set up your binds they are not that bad.

guild wars 1 is still fun
the only modern MMO you should bother with is FF XIV. if you don't like the sub fee, just play guild wars 1. no kidding.
>>257807513
MMOs stopped being fun years ago.
>>257809772
there's a 14 day trial going on right now
you can level any class to 20 on one character
go for it just don't join balmung
>>257808351
that actually sounds great
>>257812118
>either of those games
IMO, EVE is the only MMO worth playing. But that provides a fairly different experience when compared to your more traditional MMO.
>>257808351
I'd probably suck a dick for that.
Well I havefunplaying Spiral Knights and Runescape,but that's just my opinion.
>>257812118
>still fun
no it isn't.
WoW is fun if you have friends to play with.
>>257812506
Guild Wars 1 was one of the best games to ever come out m8
>>257807513
gw2 with casual friends
wow with hardcore "friends"
tso if your retarded
>>257812783
That's a funny ass joke right there, nigger.
>>257812756
except it is
maybe you should join a guild
Runescape 07. best MMO today except for graphics. prove me wrong.you cant
Can't you buy level 80 in WoW? How is that not p2w?
>>257812918
i dont think you realize im talking about 1 not 2
not liking gw1 is like not liking diablo 2, you should just git out
Started playing DarkBlood Online yesterday, tits related.
It's... okay. It's like if TERA was a beat 'em up mixed with a Diablo clone.
Combat's flashy and functional but the controls take a few minutes to get used to since it was made to be played with an arcade stick, of all things.
If any of that sounds appealing and you don't mind some mild engrish translations like "listen my situation" or "can enter arena at 30 level" then give it a shot.
>>257813036
Because you don't win WoW by being level 80.

Diablo II is not exactly the pinnacle of gaming. And it's certainly quite a bit better than GW ever was.
>>257809486
>ruined
you mean saved, right?
>>257813093
The stress system kills any hope of that game gaining any substantial success. They need to realize its not illegal for the western world to play a game for more than 4 hours like in korealand.
>>257813378
you just have bad taste then
>>257813489
I'm sorry the games you've obsessed over aren't that good. Don't need to be angry about it.
>>257807513
FFXIV is fun
>>257813638
im not mad though
what do you consider a good game
>>257813474
I don't mind it since I'm not expecting to play it too seriously, but I can see how it can be annoying to some people.
If it were properly localized it probably wouldn't have that system at all, though.
>>257807513
EVE is fun for 5 seconds and then boring for 24
Aura Kingdom. Private server of course. Offical server is pay to play
>>257807876
That ship sailed a long time ago. Anyone who played it back before 2009 can tell you how much of an overly complicated, p2w shithole it is now.
>>257813780
Depends on the kind of experience you're looking for. As I mentioned, EVE does very well for what it does, but many people don't want or can't understand what it's about.
tibia
>tfw I spent 17 hours downloading Tera just so I can look at Elin thighs
Guild Wars 1
>>257807513
Vindictus is fun for a while.Yes, it's an mmo even with it's instanced dungeons
a lot of MMO's are shit
your choices are
runescape 2007, either official server or the /vg/ private server(less grind since exp is 2.75x)
or FF XIV
everything else is shit
>Try playing The Secret World
>Performance is godawful
>Combat is garbage
I know it has some good elements but fuck me, i just cant play it.
Is an mmo with lots of cool classes and skill tress and a cool to explore world too much to ask for?
>>257807513
that one that doesnt work in my shitty country. Vindic something I think it was called. Wasted 8gb of bandwich for nothing.
>tfw RotMG was a good MMO when it first released
Blade and soul
No need for mounts your sprint speeds things up along with flying.
The combat system were well balanced it does not feel like a grindfest.
I love MMOs, but I have nobody to play them with except WoW.
guild wars 1 is still great
i believe there's a /v/ guild too
>FF XIV is great anon! You should try it!
>2,5 second global cooldown
>Massive lag on EU servers which are in Canada for some reason
>Quests are boring as fuck
>Combat is boring and clunky because of the lag
>Menus and chat system is garbage
>Plot is fucking shit (doesnt really matter since its an MMO anyways)
Why do people like it again?
>>257814412
Yes
Firefall is okay, I guess.
Buggy as fuck and a bit bland, but the fact that it's a shooter livens things up a bit.
>>257814732
MMOs are fueled by compulsion, not fun.
>>257814168

I hate how clunky it is though, especially the god damn hitstun. 15+ years later, they still have that in and it still desyncs you like crazy.
Is there any game with better a better quest system than Runescape?
>>257814732
your problems all come down to lag

>>257815068

Are there any MMOs that I should try playing before they die?
I have Lineage 1 on Steam before it went down.
>>257815445
Only 2 of the things he listed were lag related
>>257807513
The only MMO worth playing is Planetside 2, as it is purely based around fun gameplay, as opposed to this endless grind for better gear which isnt acutally very fun.
>>257815598
A friend of mine's father still plays Lineage 2, to this day. He is rolling in money and looking for friends to play with...

Looks like dedicated healers are getting phased out of the genre. Healing doesn't make kids feel special enough, anon. The world isn't ready for supportbros like us.

>>257816862
We're obsolete, my friend. Devs assume there can't possibly be people who enjoy healing.
>>257817271
It's all about the chase. Girls do it to attract guys. Guys do it so girls will like them. There has to be something wrong with that logic but that's how it is.
Some people never grow up.
>>257817326
why would anybody want an angry autistic person such as yourself in their guild? you clearly don't know how to associate with people
>>257817070

Phantasy Star Online.
>>257816862
Guild Wars 1 had fantastic healing, and I dare say I was fantastic at it. They got rid of it for Guild Wars 2 in favor of self-heal for all classes, just one of many retarded moves on their part.
The Secret World does support dedicated healers, and they're a must for dungeon runs and raids.

wildstar is quite fun. theres not much for casuals to do though so if youre looking for a more relaxing/escapism gimmick try wow
FF XIV
appeals to hardcore and casual gamers alike
plus, catgirls
>>257813976
Which private server? I tried downloading one but the setup just makes my computer slowdown and lag forever without any window popping up. Sometimes it eventually pops up but when the installation bar goes to 100% it just stays like that for hours and my computer goes into overdrive.

Is FFXIV good? FFXI was kind of cool, but IMO the world wasn't as cool as Everquest's. It felt less open and explorable. Back when I played FFXI my extremely male friend was a catgirl. All that I've heard about FFXIV is that the UI really sucks, but that was shortly after launch.

How about you just download the fucking trial and try out FFXIV for yourself?
>>257824726
why don't you like it?
It all kind of depends on what your definition of fun in an MMO is.
WoW has a major content drought until the ten year anniversary or maybe earlier depending on tomorrow.
FFXIV is getting frequent content updates but has really boring combat.
TERA is TERAble if you live in australia.
I don't know how wildstar is doing these days, but it's about as close to a vanilla WoW style MMO around that isn't a private server.

Not to mentioned healers lose a lot of their importance in the more modern skill based MMOs where attacks are simply avoidable.
>>257816225I amAt the least I can play with /v/ when it first come out for the initial inevitable "remember Maplestory" threads about it

You can play C9 for a bit, learn a class and go almost DMC-tier cuhrazy and pvp for a bit, and then just play something else instead of endgame grind. The best MMO out there is just playing a different one per week.
Tomorrow starts the free CBT of Archeage so thats what im playing.

The problem with PvP in GW2 was
>1 game mode
>4 maps
>no rewards
>>257835625
Personally I hated the gear in PvP. That you could just jump in and be on the same level as everyone else. It took the effort out of the game.

>>257835718
That's actually one of the few things that was good, they brought it from the original. It's not about how much time some neckbeard poopsocked to get gear, it was about how skilled and competent you were. Are you trying to suggest gear should be more important than skill?
>>257835718
Gearing up for PvP has always been retarded though
Especially when you need to PvP for PvP gear and you have to fight people in PvP gear with your own inferior PvE gear to fuckign get it. Or worse, there's no PvP gear and you have to do motherfucking raids to get BiS gear when you aren't interested in PvE

The most fun healing that I've ever had in video games was as a pre-functionality-change Life Sheath monk in GW1 (if we can call that healing) and the Medic in TF2. TF2 healing is shittons of fun, though, because you can actually participate in fights and because of how much movement and positioning plays into the game. Long range arrow healing is also amazing.
>>257824592
>so many people are saying FF is fun. it must be a shill - there's no way a game could actually be fun and popular
>>257835923
It's honestly hard to believe the same people that made GW1 made GW2. GW1 nailed the combat so well. It did what they said they wanted to do for GW2. At a glance you could tell what condition, if any, an enemy was suffering from, and most important spells were visually distinct and easily recognizable without cluttering the whole screen. Energy, weapon swaps, dual classing with a single primary attribute all added depth that allowed for skilled and creative play. Skill pool was large enough that when they nerfed something to shit a solid meta would emerge in no time.
And they just turned it all to shit in 2. Unbelievable.
>>257813474
what does that do?
i'm mildly interested
>>257825000
Are you fucking retarded? It's got content patches every 2 weeks and the world completion ALONE will take you some time, not to mention the dungeons, WvW, PvP, Guild events, story, dynamic story, and collection based achievements.
Please don't fucking tell me there's nothing to do. That's a cheap, lame reason.
There are plenty of reason to hate it but that is most definitely not one.
>>257836362
Healing was most fun to me as a boonprot monk in GW1 pre-nerf. Even after the various energy management nerfs the build still soldiered on as a solid backline healer. Swapping sets to deal with e-denial mesmers while keeping my warrior train alive was fun as fuck.
Then the build was killed and I started playing other classes.

Thanks Izzy. Also, what was their justification for making the level cap 80 when it was 20 in the first one, and everything past 30 (arguably 20) in GW2 was nothing but padding.
>>257836479
>It's honestly hard to believe the same people that made GW1 made GW2.
They didn't, most people left Anet between EotN and GW2
>>257807513
If you have autism you might enjoy Wurm. It's really comfy and the playerbase is really nice but doing stuff by yourself requires a ton of time.
>>257837964
>past 30
it was all padding after level 15 in guild wars 2 since that is when you unlocked all your skills
its like they made the game have 80 levels because WoW did. except WoW actually has a reason for levels, because the game actually gets harder and you unlocks TONS of more skills as you progress
GW2 PvE difficulty level is the same from level 1...I just dont get it
Isn't "fun MMO" a downright oxymoron?

Prophecies - The first game released, originally titled Guild wars, the prophecies moniker was later added when they realized that instead of releasing free content like most MMO's, they could just repackage the same game but give it a different backdrop. The game is set primarily in the continent Kryta, which is also the name of the planet that the games are set on, because they didn't have enough foresight to write in the possibility that the game would be expanded.
Factions - The second campaign released, it added cutting edge innovations into the game including
Being set in a vaguely Asian continent
Making an Asian themed character
Took away all bonus objectives and instead added a time limit.
Playing as either a Luxon or Kurdick
Nightfall - The third and final full campaign released, set in what appears to be a very white interpretation of Africa, the game added the ability to add heroes, which act as a customizable character that is controlled by A.I, officially removing any reason to play with other human beings.
Eye of the North - The only true expansion to the game, having only content designed for fully leveled characters. The game is notable for adding next to nothing to the actual game, and being a huge waste of time.
Oh, and it had dungeons.
Plot
Prophecies: Your hometown gets bombed. Then, a completely unrelated bad guy wants to take over the world, and you have to stop him.
Factions: Some dead bad guy tries to take over the world, and you have to stop him.
Nightfall: Some evil god tries to take over the world, and you have to stop him.
Grind of the North: The races from 250 years in the future dropped their experience points, and you have to go pick them all up.
>>257838254
The problem is that fun is subjective. It's why I never take the word seriously in reviews I read. Chances are the reviewer has an entirely different idea of fun than me. Just like some people probably enjoy doing the same fucking action over and over again for hours in the minute hope some shiny thing will drop for them. Or lining up to continuously do the same dungeons/raids/instances/whatever the fuck. These people probably think MMOs are fun.
>>257809681

>>257838763
>Guild Wars is a structured PvP MMORPG that Arenanet decided to mainly market as a casual PvE game because making these two groups play together is a good idea. To alleviate the shitness of the game, Arena-net placed a hotkey that links specifically to the Guild Wars Wiki which in turn links to PvX wiki, which when combined will remove all responsibility to form a coherent thought since there is no gameplay.
>Effectively dead since the day it was released, the games PvP is now structured around a skilled playerbase of 15 people, causing guild battles to be uneven (minimum of 16 players required, unless you use bots, in which case you only need 8 people), and championship matches to contain players from the same guild on opposite sides. The company who created Guild Wars, Arena Net swears that they will keep Guild Wars servers open for as long as even one person is playing. Speaking of this eventuality as though it is a distant reality has further proven that ArenaNet is staffed by monkeys, who shit their pants at least four times per day; as they have lost control of all bodily functions and live their lives rolling round in their own feces.
So everyone is going on about GW1...
Why is it not played?
Did Anet take down the servers or something?

>>257839042
>The grouping system in Guild Wars is totally awesome, but nobody uses it because saying LFG in chat is easier. Actually, JewNet ripped off Diablo 2's grouping system. Towns are actually Chat Rooms, and once you enter an area with your 8 man MMORPG team, nobody else can come with you.
>Most guilds in guild wars are filled with so many stupid shitters, they run overpowered PvE skills and still lose at the first mob. This is because Guild Wars features technology that makes you stupid due to prolonged exposure. If Guild Wars was a Mario Bros game, most guilds wouldn't be smart enough to find the start button.
>A typical workaround of playing with other dumbshit players is to hire Prostitutes to Rape the enemies for you while you Fap. The second advantage of using this strategy is that when Anet gives their fail servers Buttsecks and kick everybody out of the game, your heroes blow everything the fuck up, and in the rare chance the game lets you reconnect, you can Jew.
>>257839064
It's old, no new content for years, and after years of people having customizable AI party members anyone left is probably going it solo.
>>257813093
my only issue with it is one aspect of combat where if your attacking one direction you cant spin around quickly enough, if i could do that then i'd honestly enjoy the combat more its a pain when you just watch as a mob walks behind you and smacks your ass
>>257838254
More or less this. MMOs in general are an exercise in converting the adventures that one players in a TRPG into an active, non-turn-based system. Only trouble is that the MMOs which became commercially successful were the ones that more or less slapped on a lot of the turn-based mechanics onto this new active system without any wiggle room for imagination and then expected everything to turn out alright.
What that spawned was a game that forced the illusion of choice onto players and produced PvE and PvP encounters that mimic the type of interactions in rock-paper-scissors. MMO is a genre that honestly probably just probably ahead of its time in terms of ambition--it's effectively the fetal alcohol baby born a month early of the gaming world. The reason we have shit like .hack, Log Horizon or any other "online action adventure RPG series" is because the only way that we can truly imagine a well-made MMO--that is to say a game that combines the creativity and choice of a TRPG with the active feel of an action game--is in fiction.
MMOs as they exist now are effectively glorified rock-paper-scissor matches in PvP and a social chat room in PvE.
>>257839064

without even knowing anything about the game, i'm guessing it's a timer that forces you to log out for a set time period.
life in korea is apparently shitty enough that people feel the need to escape into games more obsessively than in other countries. babies have dehydrated to death, children have starved themselves while playing, and adults have lost jobs/wives or even their own life over their obsession.
think poopsocking is bad? some poor fuckers have literally died while playing these online games.

>>257840434
Ownership of Runescape changed hands around 2010. Everything since then has been a downward hill for the game, and is why the servers are always so deserted. It all started with the cash shop.
>>257840952
>>257840434
Actually, maybe it was around 2011 it started going down hill. 2012 was when it finally shit the bed and everything after that has been shit. Maybe it actually was 2011 when ownership changed hands, I don't remember.

Thanks for the confirmation of ERP /vg/ shitters shilling the game all of the time.
I told you, I beat T5 before and after 2.1, I quit the game because its casual trash and its nothing but a vertical ladder unlike its previous inception.
Yoshi lies. Keep spooning up that shit and eating it while you ERP in your houses that have absolutely no impact because crafting doesnt matter anymore due to the vertical ladder, that everyone is already all 50s due to the piss easy EXP system and literally handing people at launch free 50s due to item turn ins without having forced the game to check if the items were signed by the player needing to level, and also providing a single player experience almost all the way to 50 besides forced dungeons where idiots who (back then) only did FATEs would fuck up an hour of your time.
Provided I heard they tweaked all of those things, the game is beyond repair, and its casual trash only to appeal to the retards who still cannot clear T5 which I did over 8 months ago with literal hand me down free purples in your Hunt shit from what I've read.
>Im apparently bad from having all 50s, beating T5 before 95% of the population, and having played 1.x where it was brutal and unforgiving, let alone my XI experience

The only downside is that the gameplay is a bit tired, but by having such a good questing system it gives another dimension to multiplayer. You can THINK together.
For all /v/ bitches about shitty stories in MMOs and generic premises and repetitive quests, you'd think they'd give more attention to the one MMO that gets it all right. Admit it, it was just an excuse. You just wanted to play as a slutty rabbit loli or whatever.
