Are there seriously any good MMORPGs out there?

Screeps is okay if you can get past the learning curve

>>379566795
That seems interesting, I'll have to give it a look, but like I said, i'm a poorfag. I'll find a way to get it eventually I suppose.

>>379566570
I would say just do Runescape if you have a serious love for MMOs. It's the best one out there in the sea of stale, dead, and bad MMOs. I don't think anyone is making an MMO to get hype for anytime soon. Just play RS and keep an eye out for the next best MMO which may be years from now.

Runescape has always been shit man FFXIV and even ESO blow it out of the water. It's only redeemable feature is questing but everything else is terrible from the grind, PVE, community etc.

Don't mind me, just trying to spawn /gw2g/'s spambot in this thread

?

The only particularly political thing about RuneScape is the God Politics, which are interesting but got a bit stale when they were the only quests you got for months and years, though THANKFULLY we've started getting past that point, at least for now. Hell they've come right out and said that people were starting to burn out on the whole gods stuff and wanted some more normal-ish adventuring goodness.

>but everything else is terrible from the grind
They hand out bonus experience and large chunks of free xp like candy now because there's so many skills. All of the latest content has been best-in-game xp after best-in-game xp, and between divination pocket slot items, potions, invention, and the Seren Spells/Prayers, it's only eased up even further.

>PVE
But anon, it's not click and wait anymore. They went over to a keyboard roll style a few years back that scared some players off, but later on stuck on a half-way system called Revolution that automatically uses basic abilities in order of cooldown and placement on your hotbar, while thresholds and ultimates remain player-controlled (meaning the click-and-wait aspect has greater variety and customizability, and there's the option of further input for a boost of power or special effect). Higher level enemies have also gotten more complex over time, as have bosses.

>community
Public chat's always as good/bad as it's always been. Clans offer some more consistent quality of chat.

There's also that other MMOs generally don't put nearly as much effort, content, and depth into non-combat skills.

runescape is trash

worst progressive xp curve of any game

those retards think clicking on trees for many many hours is "skill"

>>379566570
They're all shit without exception.
The sooner you get used to singleplayer games the sooner you'll have more fun.

>>379568724
It's a character skill, not an actual player skill. Why would anyone even think that?

That said yes there is an element of skill, or at least game familiarity and understanding, that can be found in order to maximize experience output and minimize experience loss. For instance:

>doing enough quests and accumulating enough cash to unlock seren spells/prayers
>acquiring a bunch of high prayer bonus gear
>grabbing a reverence aura
>stuffing a holy wrench in your inventory
>stocking up on super prayer renewal potions
>spending hours grinding harmonic dust to upgrade your dragon hatchet to a crystal hatchet
>slapping an Augmentor on that with Honed 5 on the first gizmo (2% per rank chance of success gathering a resource), and Refined 2 (5% per rank chance to not deplete resource any time it would otherwise be depleted) + Rapid 3 (5% per rank chance to speed up the in-game action by a game tick, resulting in more gathering attempts overall in a shorter amount of time)
>gathering Fire Runes, Water Runes, Chaos Runes and Soul Runes
>Turning on Light Form
>Casting Crystallize on the tree, causing it to, for 30 seconds, yield no resources, but offer 50% more experience per "gathering" (87.5% more xp with Light Form active) with no chance to actually chop it down while active
>gain Invention experience due to using the augmentor on the hatchet and using an equipment siphon on it to extract said experience siphoning when it reaches level 9 or 12 depending on how many materials you've got to make more
>gain magic experience due to casting a spell every 30s
>gain massively boosted woodcutting experience with no need to head off to the bank

Of course if you actually want the resources though you could make a bunch of Signs of the Porter with divine energy and jewelry that will make it so that anything you gather is automatically transported to your bank as you gather it. Unless you have high enough summoning where you could just dump it all on your pak yak.

Runescape sucks ass, go play FFXIV.
Here's the /v/ thread to get you started: >>379561141

>>379569796
Do tell, what is there to do in FFXIV that isn't combat?

>>379569887
Not him, but there's the crafting system, it's pretty good. Can go around gathering and fishing as well. And if you're autismal you can probably find some erp sluttitude.

Hi thegy :3

>>379570073
But is it something you level up, and that expands with more resources and things to make as you do, or is it just a way of plugging into making better combat gear?

>>379569634
kill yourself

i just want an MMO where i could talk to girls(guys) and just chill

>>379570213
Different anon but its not what you are looking for, its not sandbox-y systems its just the standard useless crafting and fishing that is stapled onto themepark mmos.

SHOW ME AN MMO ON PS4 NOW

>>379570328
u could try secondlife...

i got back into tree of savior. its alright, leveling used to be ultra grindy but now you can get to max lvl in like 2 weeks or far less if you already have a high lvl char, they also send a lot of compensations when they have server issue. the game very linear in terms of quests and combat but there is a lot to do and the graphic style is pretty neat.
in terms of p2w i havent seen anything, but pvp is fairly dead so it doesnt even matter.

>>379570520
FF14

>>379570328
That's called omegle.

>>379570347
I've always kind of wanted an MMO that would treat non-combat sort of like combat. Like the world would constantly be in motion and you'd have to use multiple abilities related to whatever skill you're doing to successfully extract a resource, or maximize resource output, before the opportunity is lost or you fuck it up.

Runescape isn't that, sadly, but it's one of the few MMOs and games in general that have put a significant amount of effort into (relative) non-combat skill depth.

I mean they've been working on an overhaul for mining and smithing to make them more relevant after years of power creep in terms of what combat drops could offer as well as make them slightly less grindy or more enjoyable/rewarding overall, something you don't see everyday, especially in older MMOs.

>>379569634
Dude all the benefits in Runescape were just to max faster if possible. It sucks ass glad I dropped that game, sad I dropped it max stats,

>>379570541
eh i don't know. me and my online friend actually used to go on there and fuck around with this girl he liked. it was pretty weird shit tho. dont know if i could download that again

>>379570596
>That's called omegle.
yeah no. besides that shit is full of massive spammy garbage

>>379570572
BESIDES PAY TO PLAY

THEN FUCKING SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU CUM GUZZLING CUNTMUFFIN

>>379570741
SORRY BRO MAN DUDE PAL I'M LYING IN BED HALF ASLEEP BUT STILL SCREAMING

>>379570701
ESO is B2P
Warframe is F2P

>>379570973
Is Warframe considered an MMORPG? I feel like it's more like a first-person shooter ARPG.

>>379571182
>Warframe
>First person
You sure you thinking about the right game m8?

>>379571314
I don't know why I automatically call any shooter of any kind a first person shooter. I know it's third person but I say it anyways.

>>379570213
It is something you level up and get more skills for, similar to combat without the timing. It's pretty well made, though I'm not into crafting myself. You can make furniture and all kinds of shit with it, so it's more than just making combat gear.
Give it a try.

>>379571390
I mean Destiny exists that is a first person ARPG/MMO practically so maybe you mixed those up.

>>379571574
No, I just mixed up my wording.
