How terrible is Wildstar? I was checking through my Humble Bundle shit I never activated and I see that I have some starter kit for Wildstar, which prompted me to look into the game. I apparently have an account for the game, so I must've played it during the beta, but I can't remember it at all and I know the game has changed quite a bit.

Sometimes I have the itch to play WoW, but I refuse to spend money on it. I know you can buy time with gold now, which I've done a few months, but then I feel compelled to play because otherwise I'm wasting my virtual currency that has no bearing on real life.

I wish FF XIV would just make the base game f2p so I could just dick around with that game when I'm bored.

It's pretty good, actually. It's just pretty low-pop. The game has most of it's problems fixed since the horrid launch and then subsequent relaunch.

Gameplay-wise, it's pretty much a much better WoW. And surprisingly, when the game starts taking itself serious at 40-50 endgame, the story can actually get pretty good. Real shame it doesn't get more players.

Any MMO is playable/fun if you have an active and dedicated group of friends/e-friends to play with. Modern MMOs are shit, because "it's fun with friends" can't carry them anymore, thanks to the quality of life improvements in the genre removing the need to socialize, and the fact that most of us have no real life friends, or at the very least ones that waste their time playing vidya/MMOs.

I just checked the stats for Steam and it has ~300 people playing, which is pretty low. I was curious how that compared to Rift, because I've also played that for a bit post f2p, and Rift has much more players. Honestly though, I'm at the point where I'll play a single player MMO and be fine. The older I've gotten, the more autistic and aspy I've gotten about grouping with random people.

Maybe The Secret World.
It's getting a HUGE update that is supposed to make the combat good? And they're reworking a tonne of other stuff too.
Probably the best questing of any game ever. Those fucking Investigations were amazing.

Two factions of alien races are fighting and racing to colonize a newly discovered planet called the Nexus, while at the same time trying to discover the secrets of an ancient race that inhabited it.

It's just very lighthearted and simple in the beginning. The game can get surprisingly dark at points, though.

Is anyone still playing DCUO? I've heard they're putting out new content pretty regularly, so I'm thinking about getting into it.

ESO, It has a lot of PvE content and if you git gud for PvP you can carry yourself pretty well.

The only dream I have for MMO's is for them to take dead MMOs, repackage them as singleplayer games, and then do a large count of modifications to make the game a better singleplayer experience. Increase XP rates, droprates, etc., put in some AI for basic NPC partners (even if they're all just based on generic player characters), leave all Cash Shop items in the game as super-rare collectibles, maybe even allow some P2P instancing for dungeons and whatnot. Just repurpose all of those old, dead assets into something new.

Fuck that fucking piece of shit. I played it when it first went f2p and grinded for days until I finally got strong PvP armor. The second strongest set in the game. At the time it took a painfully long time to grind for PvP gear. Then about a week after I finished my set the devs updated the game to give everyone double rewards for PvP currency. So everyone could grind and get the set twice as fast. Fuck that piece of shit game.

You want social in an mmorpg you need to find a guild and be social. I don't know why you idiots think just playing online means someone will magically walk up to you and be your friend.

Honestly I prefer grinding to what modern MMOs do. Which is send you along a single linear world spanning quest line where nothing matters.

I liked how in games like runescape or ragnarok online you could just go wherever you wanted and grind whatever. You felt like you were steering your destiny and exploring the world instead of just being a passenger bused around to see all the setpieces.

And I enjoy grinding. It's a relaxing thing you can do while watching tv or whatever.

Mabinogi was ahead of its time. Hell, it still has better systems than a lot of popular MMOs today.

It was worth playing a decade ago but now it's pretty outdated. Needs a visual upgrade and a new engine. They tried to make a mabinogi 2 but made a mobile game instead cus lol easier gacha money.

You never stop leveling in mabinogi so people are in thousands in levels. You'll be years behind everyone unless you pay up to speed up the process.

What they mean is that being social is more than joining a guild and spamming chat with 4chan memes. If you're playing MMOs for that, you should really consider making online friends another way and playing games actually worth playing.

Doing things together. And no, dungeons that can be run with randoms don't count. MMOs are supposed to be all about player interaction, but look at them. FFXIV is practically a fucking singleplayer game and people eat it up. Same with WoW.

I don't think any game made me despise the antagonist faction as much as Guild Wars did. The Mursaat were exploiting Kryta, but they were defending the world against a greater threat and Margonites were just misguided humans that had no choice but to do what they did. Not the Charr though, no. They hated everything and they killed everything, they sold their entire race off to the titans just to have a shot at it and when it failed to earn them victory, stalled and choked, they turned on their benefactors and those that allowed them to win against Ascalon in the first place. No amount of shitty fanfiction and retcons can erase that.

That basically never happens so I dont know what you're talking about. In all these CBT/OBT for new MMO's the writing is on the wall anon. Hopefully some creative game design is followed in mmos to come because people are sick of the current shit. Well everybody besides the koreans who love autism grinding.

If they're so out of touch they didn't realize the game was such garbage after years of development how the fuck are they going to suddenly change it to be the perfect MMO?

That is just a Story and Lore point. They fuck up PvP, WvW, abandon Dungeon/Fractal, and added tons of highly detail cash shop item instead of putting them as a ingame reward. For fuck sake, they still haven't deliver all the promise they made with the expansion.

>>376883675
I thought with Mabi, levels didn't really matter because diminishing returns made it where someone at a really high level could still party with someone at a much lower level provided they both had proper mastery of their talents.

Almost positive I'll win this one.

Dream Drops. JP server, although I think it had the same name in other regions (Taiwan? Korea? Can't remember which other regions got it)

Unfortunately I forgot to save my own character pics when I changed PCs, this is just from google. I had a very cute max level 'Little Hero' (Indian class). It was a fairy-tale setting with a bunch of popular fairy tales mixed up together. The main classes were Toy Soldier (tank), Pictomage (mage), Little Hero (Native American motif, melee or ranged DPS depending on build), Patissiere (healer)

>The game has been flooded with jap land stuff so you'd be missing out on so much.

Elaborate.

Not to mention the english patch is still utter shit and has several spots not translated.

Also elaborate. All menus and systems are in english, and anything else you might need can be explained by guides online or asking the community. The English patch has also apparently completed translation of the EP4 story.

>Or the fact the item name overlay breaks still..
I haven't seen that lately. A while ago sometimes the item translation plugin just wouldn't work for a while, but that seems to have been taken care of.

>Just stay away from pso2. SEA servers are closing this month. Thgey didn't do too well which isn't surprising they put the fucking servers in SEA.

The SEA version was a mistake to begin with. The company handling it was more than a year behind on content, fucked up the balance of the game, and added extra jewery like costume affixes.

You can party at whatever levels, the higher level player will just steamroll everything while the lower level one just watches though.

Levels give you skill points, and skills give you stats. A higher level person has more stats and those determine damage, hp, etc.

This image is still relevant today. The grind after level 80 is pretty fucking shit, too.
>>
>>376884390
It's not diminishing returns so much as it is total level not really doing anything in terms of stat/skill increases. Skills are the primary source of stats, the main goal of leveling is to get AP to increase said skills with. Theoretically, yes, someone at a very low total level could compete with someone at a much higher total level if their skills were similarly ranked, but since leveling is the main method of getting AP it's practically impossible to get your skills that high at very low levels.

Current level isn't that important either, but it does give you temporary stats.

Honestly I won't be surprised if they add that stuff into JP considering Forces are forever top tier and they've been experimenting with star gems a lot.

I'm pretty scared what EP5 would be like since Summoner is boring and everything but the new EQs sucked.

It's more the point it has nothing to do with ARKS. The dance festival is purely a jap land thing in origin and design.

It ruins the the whole sci-fi vibe and setup the series has. Having an giant attack on titan guy in the lobby was pretty stupid as well. Adding all the anime costumes and weapons too. It simply doesn't fit with PSO and ruins it all.

>>376885215
Because attention whoring and adding minorities into their game is the only thing they think about when sitting down to discuss development. They don't give a fuck about making an actually good game, they only care about making a game that would appeal to their ideas. For fuck's sake, the game called GUILD WARS still doesn't have GVG. The same WvWvW imbalanced shit that rewards people just zerging blindly, running guardian trains hasn't been fixed since release. They don't give a fuck, they just don't.

>>376884218
As the anon said Rift was a perfect example, but is from JewTrion, and anything they have is fucking shit p2w fiesta from a few years back.

The Secret World has the same class mixing system from Guild wars 1, but in this case you pick 2 weapons, each weapon is a class. And you don't have levels, the XP you get is to unlock more skills in the weapon trees and make your skill deck like it was back in GW1.

The game is being rereleased as f2p with a more action-ish combat but I don't know if it was the only thing changed. The quests in that game, at least in the b2p version were the best I have played in any MMO, even better than most open world single player games, including Witcher 3 (in my opinion).

Guild Wars 1 let you get cheap as armor that would work for all ingame stuff. Guild Wars 2 got Ascended/Legendary and you need those if you want to fractal or get in a raid group.

I'd just like to voice this complaint right now. I'm fucking sick of all the crazy hyperbolic numbers in MMOs right now. I know all numbers in MMOs are arbitrary to some degree, but it's just ridiculous these days. And Blizzard and the Korean companies are doing the community at large no favors.

>start new MMO at level one
>have 600 life and deal 50 damage per attack; not too bad, it's higher than it should be, but it's not terrible
>get to level 10
>have 50,000 life and deal 7,000 damage per attack
>reach max level
>750,000 life and 100,000 damage per attack
>get first tier of max level gear
>5,000,000 life and 800,000 dps
>get cash shop gear
>100,000,000,000 life and 120,000,000 dps
>attack so damn fast that critical hits with insanely high multipliers are cascading off screen
>lose 80,000,000 life per attack because everything hits way too hard to compensate for the ridiculous numbers

I think the problem with this too is it turns every game into a get better gear to be better type of a game. A pro level player at max level with less than stellar gear can't even scratch a bitch level player with slightly better gear because the multipliers are so damn high.

That pretty much sums up my experience with Secret of the Solstice.

>for the longest time only had one server, so anyone who was anyone knew everyone who was anyone
>massive grind
>achieving 3rd class change was a massive accomplishment. your entire fucking guild would tp to town just to watch you ascend to your fourth class.
>there were also milestone levels where you unlocked new skills. being able to use the second AOE skill for a warrior as opposed to the plain one was a big fucking deal.
>game kept track of levels and ranked every player on the server, making leveling up even more competitive
>high level players were sought out by guilds. the top tier players ended up in a single notorious guild that literally struck fear in the heart of its player.
>my guild was one of the first ones formed, we ended up actually outliving their guild because drama caused them to fracture off into different guilds while out guilds mostly remained the same
>you get really fucking catty comments from people playing as the same class as you, but that competitiveness is what made it really great.
>also plenty of really nice people that just wanted to play and have fun
>pretty much every guy in my guild hooked up with one of the girls.
>only thing that ruined the game was a hacking incident that completely destroyed the economy in a single night that they had to relaunch the game and transfer everything to a new server to try to mitigate the damage, but it was too late and it pretty much killed the playerbase
I will never have another experience like this again.

>>376888332
While we'll see what the numbers end up in Stormblood, FFXIV does this pretty well i think.

You start off with barely 3 digits of hp and are doing like 20 damage per offensive ability, by the end of the core game, with the best gear, you get up to just under 5 digit hp for tanks.

ESO handles everything through guild economies so there are even trading guilds that have to bid for guild traders located in good locations (major city hubs etc) crafted gear is not always best in slot but its pretty damn close and you need to have crafting to be able to upgrade gear you want to use to the highest quality level.

You aren't going to actually be a "Merchant" class or anything but the crafting plays a lot of relevance in end-game more than a lot of current MMOs.

Sadly no. In modern MMOs crafting is a decidedly side activities you do as a distraction alongside adventuring.

>mfw players in SWG were worried that all the crafters and traders held too much power because they controlled the economy to such a degree

I mean, in practice it was just PvPers and raid equivalent group feeling intimidated they weren't top dogs because if they couldn't get the right buffs/gear/services from other players they weren't as efficient, but still. Funny.

I still remember playing the TERA beta with /v/ and /a/. I had a fucking blast. Sneaking into the off-limits areas and having dance parties at the end of each beta test was a blast. Testing out the guild wars and having massive organized battles outside Velika in that huge field was great. Also it was hilarious making human walls just outside the main city, blocking anyone from getting in or out unless they had some sort of teleport.

I built a new PC since then and forgot to save all my screenshots, but it was awesome.

Wildstar beta with /vg/ was pretty dope too. I do miss those times and I hope another MMO comes out in the future that lets me recreate those times.

Even Morrowind which is a fully fledged "expansion" isn't providing anything that really disrupts the current gear meta outside of the sustain changes coming with the patches.

Personally I find ESO's aesthetics to be generally drab and unappealing as well.

It has the same problem I had with SWTOR and GW2 in that the combat feels slippery and janky. Take WoW for example. There's very very little rubber banding, your character feels like they have weight, but still plays like a game where you have control. In BnS there's a lot of rubberbanding, sometimes you'll stop and slide a little forward or a little back. The animations don't mesh well with movement, like they were made thinking players would stand still and use attacks in place. Overall it just feels off and I can't get into it.

if you did cutters cry back in the day you'd understand.

Its understandable for dungeons to be casual because lets get real how complex can you make it without it just being flat out stupid. You cant make it much harder than a 8 man primal because theres no second healer, no second tank, only two DPS. Then you need to tone it down so that even the most un meta comp can clear, which just makes it easy, and then the rewards cant even be good because that would be dumb when 8 man content will always be harder and worth more in terms of gear.

Dungeons should be for leveling and tome farming, nothing else.
>>
>>376889778
Fuck off, Wildstar had great dungeons because they were mechanic driven. Having your dungeons be almost entirely "walk through this corridor and tank&spank this boss then rinse repeat 3 times and you are done" is fucking boring as shit. It's bad enough doing Leveling and being leveled down and having to deal with only using a fraction of your toolkit.

Nobody learns anything from these dungeons except how to fall asleep at their computer.

I feel the exact same way. FFXIV's design feels a lot more elegant and stable, shit just works. Probably in large part due to how jobs aren't customizeable, but I'm fine with that since they're at least fun to play. ESO feels twitchy and is this clusterfuck of useless skills coupled with a handful of other skills that effortlessly outclass all others, so often most builds end up playing the same way anyway because there's only a handful to work with. Difficulty is also fucking weird. You have piss-easy questing and shit, and then dungeons are this clusterfuck of swarms of enemies and bosses with one-shot skills and mechanics they repeat every five seconds.

It's still an alright game, but I often found myself being real frustrated with the way the game works.
I also can't really stand that as a magsorc in pve I'm more of a DoT class with ground target aoes and a fuck-ton of buffs and timers I need to keep track of that only last for a few seonds and need to be reapplied constantly. I just want burst damage.

Protostar Academy is what all beginner dungeons should be, just a flat Pass/Fail that covers the basics of group mechanics.

Fucking tired of dogshit beginning dungeons because "it needs to be easy" why does the entire game need to be easy until cap, it just makes everything pre-cap feel so trivial that you shouldn't even have levels.
>>
>>376889873
Good thing bosses do have mechanics, they just typically dont kill you and instead make it so that you do less DPS and get a slap on the wrist and an indicator to let the other 3 people in your party know you fucked up.

I think its good that dungeons are fun and interesting the first or second time you run them but lets get fucking real once you find yourself farming the place you just want to find the fastest and easiest way to kill it each time so you can advance to the next dungeon. People dont have the patience for the shit you want and people just want to hit end game. This has been the case in WoW for years and it will be the case for any other MMO moving forward.

There's creative ways to deal with that stuff. Sure some races would end up with certain advantages/disadvantages, but the same can be said about the different classes. A spellcaster shouldn't be able to tank hits like a warrior, a human shouldn't be able to hit as hard as a centaur.
>>
>>376890063
That's a shitty way to progress your game by locking stuff behind content nobody actually wants to do. Why would anyone say that's enjoyable? Why should that be the norm when there are games out now that don't do that.
>>
>>376890060
I actually agree. Protostar Academy is almost perfect as a beginner dungeon. I just don't like how you teleport back and forth the whole time and I wish there were less bosses. Other than that I like how the bosses introduce just one mechanic at a time that learns ya how to tackle the harder stuff later on.
>>
>>376890060
Not him but I couldn't even do the Protostar stuff because of the LACK OF LOWER LEVEL PLAYERS WILLING TO TEAM UP WITH ME. Having a high level cap has always been a problem, especially when the leveling of the said game is horrible. A low level cap would have actually help Wild Star in a long run.

>>
>>376890185
To give you a sense of accomplishment when you hit the lustrous goal of hitting max level despite just grinding some easy content over and over to do it. And once they do hit end game, the stupid dungeon content stops and starts the raids and other end game related activities, which is your carrot in the stick.

I dont think its a good system either but it IS the standard. Leveling and dungeons have to be casual, because if you care about your subs you're going to cater to the casuals and give them exactly what they want.
>>
>>376890318
Except there are games that have horizontal treadmills that negate the whole "you do dungeons until X point and then switch to raids because you have to and then next patch start over because your gear is all shit now"

I gotta admit. I've been really looking into Pantheon. At first it just looked like shit, and still admittedly, at least on a graphical level, looks like shit. However, from their few community streams and interviews they've done as well as the gameplay they've been showing off recently, the more excited I am about it. Can't wait for a new MMO where you group up, pick a spot, settle down, and then grind orcs in between shooting the shit and trading stories and theories. I'm really looking forward to another MMO where each class is truly unique. I hate this homogenization bullshit we've been getting recently where Paladin, Fighter, and Dark Knight are essentially all the same class with different colored skills.

>>
>>376890956
I don't trust any of these kickstarter mmos because when AAA companies with hundreds of millions of dollars fail to produce a half assed product how is a indie company going to do it with crowdfunds.

MMOs are already based on selling an unfinished product and promising commitment to it and how can anyone feel confident about that when its crowdfunded.

I wouldn't recommend playing it outside the bonus experience weekends. Leveling through quests is laborious and tiresome and leveling through dungeons, while fun, takes so much time without double experience. During a double experience week end you can spend your time decorating your house in between running dungeons which give you multiple levels per run so you don't have to spend too much time running repeats. Not too mention it's the time that all veteran players decide to level up alts so there's a whole batch of people to play with.

One thing AoC did right was being a massive service to the property. For all the technical and gameplay problems game is an excellent piece of fiction if you care about Hyboria as a whole. Also, that soundtrack was phenomenal.

>>376891094
They're all pretty terrible for reasons.
>>
>>376891124
It's one of those games that should've been great but got released too early, too buggy and didn't have the follow up support it needed.

If something like AoC came out again right now in a more finished state it'd be a fucking masterpiece.
>>
>>376890942
It's the relaunched hellground server and it's pretty okay so far, since it released around a month ago and the majority or people still level. Population of 1k-2k is also fine. I don't even care if these servers go to shit sooner or later, I enjoy the moment

Really depends on which expansion you wanna play, there is for each one a major server out there that has a decent population to do stuff

So whoever made this never played it? Probably a westcuck. Lineage 2 on a good private server with x2-5 rates was the peak mmo experience. You wowkiddies have no idea what you missed.

Pump and dump DOES work because there's a fair amount of retards who fall for it every time. As long as the game is pretty enough and has some sort of loli race it will attract the small whale demographic who will spend literally thousands on cosmetics.

>The game was designed as tab target

>Developer goes back and remakes the game with "action combat".

I fucking hate action combat. Whats wrong with Tab target as long as the animations look good?

I thought that game shut down ages ago

>>376892182
System Shock and Deus Ex vibes both
A bit of Anarchy Online there too

>>376892246
As FFXIV shows, tab target is fine as long as the feedback (visuals, sound and animation) are on point.

Tree of Savior is about to have a huge patch fixing a ton of class and balance issues, as well as making some of the leveling process easier for 1-100. I know what the beta and launch was like, but there's been a lot of work into it since the past year, and things are much better. I know you think 'how much can things be different,' but if you're looking for an mmo, give it a shot again. The class system is still amazing and trading has pretty much been completely relaxed.

I did. Played the original one, then played the official release, then played a few private servers. I just went and looked at its Steam page; people are still playing it. Amazing. I'm kind of tempted to go back, but I know it would only be pain.

it's still decent, didn't find much difference compared to the beta, maybe less of a grind now

it's pretty fucking good

by far the comfiest mmo imo, and fucking shithuge map and content

pop is a lot lower than it used to be, but definitely still enough to play it
most of the faction cities are pretty empty now, but the neutral hubs still have lots of people and there's always plenty of people at all the usual dungeons and shit
