The only good MMOs on the market are some of the older ones. And going back to those is weird as fuck because most people know them too well and are powergaming the shit out of them so there's no joy to play them at all. For example WoW private servers.

Playing on a Russian ArcheAge private server called ArcheRage. Its been running since Feb using actual code and uses patch 2.9. The server's hosted in France and I hardly get any lag in the States. Shit's fucking wonderful.

I just started FF 14, the reason I like it is because you don't have to spend hundreds of hours on it but you can if you want. Main story is awesome so far ( I just reached heavensward). I recommend it if you want to play an mmo but still have time to play other games.

Black Desert turned out surprisingly good IMO. That admittedly might have something to do with me coming to terms with its faults when I took a break but I'm liking it now.

There's tons of fun shit to do. Korean RNG a bitch but rewarding. Combats fun. Its a bit P2W but not off the charts like others.

You're a fucking faggot.

WoW is what caused this. You're asking for the one MMO that literally RUINED the entire genre.

They made the most money because they made things casual. It was easy so more people would play it. Literally to get more people to pay money. And fags like you did, and you look back on it fondly because you're fucking retarded.

>>384686787
it's really not, it has a ton more plot, dialogue than other MMO, and I agree that the presentation is normally nice, however, sometimes the presentation is fucking horrendous

>walk up to NPC
>are you ready?
>stay still for 2 seconds
>weird nod
>the other NPC stays still for 2 seconds
>does the same nod

and that repeats Ad nauseam, because yes, it has a ton of "cutscenes" so emotes are a good way to save money in animation, but that's not everything

>big battle of Ala Mhigo/Doma
>liberated in a cutscene of 20 soldiers running with GLD animations

they could have hid the battle and show it via sounds, or distant sprites, there's a ton of tricks that developers are used to simulate "big battles" and yet a big budget MMO does this shit

not to mention that 1-47 leveling story is pretty much world-building and most of it boring, only 3.5 ending coup d'tat and many of the HW post-patches story is enjoyable

I think people overestimate the story of FFXIV, and then you "ye olde dialogue translation" which makes everything even more tedious, takes away personality (the little they have) from characters

so, yeah, it's the best rotten meat in the market, still rotten meat, paying expansion price+subscription for a mediocre story is retarded, and I'm telling you this even though I did it

at this point.... not really. I started back in closed beta and loved the fuck out of it. Flying combat was unique, skill chain combat worked really well, and small scale pvp where you infiltrate the enemy zone as a group was fun as fuck. Abyss Fort lag fest sieges were also something truly wonderful, having 500+ people fighting a PvPvE in a 3d battlefield was something to experience.

I stopped once the korean grinding hit. I came back recently and have managed to get to "endgame" where leveling 1 level takes more xp than it took for the past 65, upgrading gear has an RNG change to break your endgame gear.

I saw a post on the forums that said if you have a ton of time and want it to be your only game you play then sure, go for it. It was a fun leveling experience and was the second best MMO imo since WoW. I am excited for the rumored Aion 2, if only for the lore.

Ive been looking for a good mmo for so many years. The last good one i played was archeage. That game had so much potential but p2w ruined it. Im honestly at the point where i just give up. I dont think the genre can ever get back to its former glory. I am watching a couple though, pantheon rise of the fallen is essentially everquest and chronicles of elyria could be really cool but i stay sceptical. Kickstarter games are the only hope because game companies want mass appeal to make the most shekels.

No gear equalized pvp, so your forced to grind the most ez mode pve content ive ever seen. All so you can throw your gear into a lottery of rng upgrades.

Koreans are truly the jews of the asain world, only the most scumbag greedy fucks would design a game to be like that.

Then I'll give you a run down; Blade & Soul is 100% Instance Based while at the same time being Open World. Each part of the world is an Instance area. There's are portals that you must go through in order to reach the next area and sometimes it requires you to load the area before entering which puts you on a loading screen with an official BnS Image/Artwork. MMOs are games that feature a large amount of players in a single area. Blade & Soul does that while being an Instance based game. You can have hundreds of people in one area at a time.

No, that's not what an instance is. An instance is when you enter into an area and a new "instance" of that area is created solely for you and your party. There is no one else there, because it is an instance of that dungeon. It's a programming term, but it also came about in MMOs because people were complaining about going into dungeons and all the loot having been already gone and the bosses already killed.

The RNG is your character's performance. It's influenced their stats. Removing that removes the substitute for the clearly inanimate character's skills. That's the reason tabletop STR checks weren't settled by arm wrestling instead of dice. I'll say it one last time, you want an online action adventure game with a character creator, not an MMORPG.

So then, if you can hit things outside of a dungeon it's not an instance. But what about games that focus on dungeons? Games like TERA aer open world but you barely ever do open world content in that game. 90% of the time you're in a dungeon.

Redpill you? Okay. All modern MMOs and practically all online games use Operant Conditioning and the games themselves act as de-facto skinner boxes.

If they gave you loot you needed every time, you would quickly bore of it.
If they never gave you loot, you'd quit even faster than before.
But if they only give you loot on some of your wins then you will try constantly forever to get the loot.

Practically every sub-based or freemium game do this.

This is you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOgowRy2WC0

>>384702734
No, I used the dungeon as an example. An instanced area is one that is created specifically only for that character and/or their party. It's not limited to dungeons, but it will usually manifest itself that way.

Likewise, you can have non-instanced stuff, meaning that random literal-whos will just walk in, but that runs into the danger of having bosses/chests claimed before you get there.

Ok. Blade & Soul does this whenever you grab certain story mode quest. When done you leave that solo instance area and return back to the player instance area without any loading. So you're always there but they can't see you and you can't see them.

or
You play a korean mmo with great ideas but it comes with an infinite grind fest that takes thousands of hours to do anything

So basically just stop playing mmos, they are a shit genre for people who can't git gud at pvp games or just shitty multiplayer versions of singleplayer rpgs. Maybe once everyone stops playing mmo's they will finally bother to make a good one.

The way you're using terms is confusing. >When done you leave that solo instance area and return back to the player instance
They leave the solo instance and return back to the world. Don't say instance again. It is possible to have instances within instances, but those are special, unusual cases.
>So you're always there but they can't see you and you can't see them.
You're there on the map within the instance, and leaving an instance just means you get placed back into the world.

Also, lots of MMOs do that. FF14 will give you a cutscene that plays out with only you, and once the cutscene is over, you're back. And the boss fights for story purposes also usually happen in an instance, as well as dungeons.

Map with only you and party members = Instance
Map with other players that you don't know = Not-instanced
Game is 100% instanced = Offline single-player.

>Interesting content from the start, like dungeons that are actually difficult and require coordination, strong world bosses, raids, etc. Basically something that's not tedious quest grinding to reach level cap as fast as possible.
>An item upgrade system that allowed you to take that unique, named weapon that dropped off a world boss and upgrade it all the way to level cap, making upgrade path choices along the way (Speed vs Strength, Elemental damage vs raw, etc.).
>A combat system where basic attacking involves stuff like directional attacks, timed blocks, parries, dodging/rolling but manages to not get retarded about it like Chivalry did. Powerful skills that require more than just pressing a single button to initiate. A magic system that allows more freedom than, "Cast most hurtful spell when it's off cooldown."
Basically I want something that's pretty much impossible and entirely based off chinese cartoons about MMOs.

Koreans are the "true jews" of Asia until you meet a real Chinese person. All those copypastas about them lying to your face then lying when you confront them about it with proof with you then in the end caving and saying "you should have just paid me more and I wouldn't have tried to screw you" are real, and 100% true, especially in manufacturing but not exclusively there.

SWL is pretty great. Quest and world design is top shelf, and the gameplay does its job.

It has a lot less depth than TSW though, which is both a good and a bad thing. Good in that it doesn't repel people away from the game like the original game did with its "Built poorly? This character is now fucked" shenanigans, but also bad because of the lack of build variety (compared to TSW that is, it has decent build variety when contrasted with MMOs in general).

You really think so? Having extensively played both games, I think that SWL's combat is a vast improvement over TSW. That isn't to say that it is great MMO combat, though. Just an improvement from TSW.

Everything is garbage at the moment and you're wasting your time if you aren't playing WoW or FFXIV, and even those aren't great.
Your best bet is to just wait it out for now. There's some new shit on the horizon, like Camelot Unchained, that we just have to see for ourselves when it comes out. Maybe try out a WoW private server if you can find a good Vanilla/BC one.
If you're thinking about something like Vindictus or Black Desert, don't. Webm posters show off lots of fancy animations and shit but everything outside of the combat in these games is boring, shallow, and have tons of Korean grind.

You don't even understand P2W yet if you think such a smalltime cash shop is truly bad. Nexon actively encourages spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on MS in order to be worth a shit, or they did back before it was run into the ground. nexon isn't even the worst that has ever existed, it's only third; aeria is worse (see OP, you can spend over 50K USD if you have bad luck with getting the eidolons you want, assuming you want to max tier them, which you do), and first place is gpotato, nothing will ever beat gpotato, I remember speaking with most of the high end players on AIKA and each of them confided that they had spent 6 figures and in one case SEVEN figures on that game over it's lifetime, only for the game to flop a couple years later; there are mobile game tier babby whales and then there are REAL FUCKING WHALES
>>
>>384703957
Sounds crazy, but is there even a point to other classes when you can unlock one that's that versatile?
>>
>>384706162
The cash shop by it self wasn't bad, it was the fact it was 40$ to play, has a subscription, AND a cash shop. I stay away from anime meme mmos for the most part that aeria releases, same thing with mobile """"games""" . So I dont know the exact horrors that lie in those hellholes.
>>
>>384706292
We won't know until the class releases in a few days.

On one hand, it'd be best to balance it with the other classes. On the other, if it isn't more powerful, then there's no point to having it be hard to unlock.
>>
>>384705662
>Already owned the game? You don't get shit
False. You get every single weapon page unlocked (both actives and passives) and all of your TSW cosmetics carry over.

>Pay for cosmetics
They have to get money from something, and getting it from something that offers no gameplay advantages whatsoever is not bad

>Pay for consumables
What consumables are you referring to? There's an apothecary (or multiple) in each zone that you can buy buff potions from for the in-game currency

>Pay to use other skillsets
With in-game currency

>Pay SEPARATELY to get access to the passives for skillsets
No longer the case. You unlock both actives and passives of a weapon with the same purchase now.

>Pay to get gear
Not the only way to get gear. You can run dungeons and just generally play the game to get gear.

>Pay to reset repeatable quests
To reset them faster. Repeatable quests reset for everyone, just considerably faster for paying customers

>Pay to get keys to get RANDOM rewards from dungeons
You get a set amount of keys every day even as a free player. Paying players get a few more.

>Pay to make your weapon better
There is no reason to pay real money to upgrade your gear other than expediency. The game gives you enough distillates and gear to upgrade without ever paying a cent.

>Pay for inventory/storage slots (costs more each time)
It costs in-game currency. Sure, you can trade premium currency for the in-game currency but again, all you are getting is expediency in getting something

>Pay to trade with other players (and you can't trade with those that don't pay)
This one is a legit concern that I share. It is an effort to fight botting, so it is somewhat understandable.

>Pay to run faster
You can get most of the sprint upgrades with in-game currency. I think only the last two cost premium currency exclusively, and even then you can gather the in-game currency and trade it for the premium currency to get those. Paying will, again, only expediate things.

But I didn't even mention Trahearne or any single sylvari in particular. Just that the race itself seems to get away with things that would not fly for anyone else.

The Charr committed genocide and there are still humans who hate them for it and enact skirmishes and acts of terror towards them, for example. Meanwhile, Sylvari were discovered to be dragon minions and everyone just shrugged and went on with their business.

Please, God, let Caravan Stories or Petria Chronicles be even just a little bit good. I want a new game that I can look forward to immersing myself in; to meet new people and have something to look forward to. I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed an MMO for more than a week or two. Everything has turned into gear treadmill themeparks and I can't stand it. I tried playing FFXIV again a few months ago but I got bored to tears after getting to about lvl 55. There's so much of NOTHING to do, and all of it is padded out with mandatory single player quests. It's hardly an MMO, just a shitty single player game with an unused chatbox. Every MMO now is a WoW derivative or FUCKINg DEAD, sometimes both.

Caravan Stories seems really interesting honestly, but there's no telling when it'll release, and if it'll come out in English at all.

For a Korean MMO from 2004, it runs like shit even with the right hardware, half the game's problems stem from really dated coding and trying to keep up with todays time/coding. The font alone is enough to lag the game but if you can ignore a lot of this games little problems(and they add up over time), its a pretty decent sol mmo.
>>
>>384711927
>the repetitivness kills my interest every fucking time
MMOs, at the core, are all about incentivising repetitive shit. If it has a lot of variety you'll have a choice of what repetitive shit you can do at any given moment. You can't really pump out the amount of content an MMO calls for and still make it a rollercoaster of novelty and variety.

It has plenty of open land. At least for 16x16s and below. There's a huge English zerg guild called Forsaken, but they're literally as unorganized as can be and have zero coordination or motive to work with any other guilds. The client is initially on Russian, but it's piss-easy to change it to English. Just have to make a character, then go under C:\Users\USER\Documents\ArcheAge, open "system.cfg" and add locale = "en_us" to the very bottom of the list and save. Not sure about East side, but West side is pretty rad.

If you don't pay it takes ages to get anything that can also be bought with premium currency, and the in-game currency that you can use to by premium stuff without paying is needed for stuff like sprint speed, so if you don't pay money then you have to choose between things like sprinting faster and actually being able to customize your character's abilities from the boring default ones, so even if early sprint speed can't be bought with real money, buying it prevents you from buying other items which are premium/in game currency. The only saving grace the game has is that early on you get a lot of currency to buy stuff, but that's probably just to sucker you in.

Is it worth playing casually as a timewaster? I can only log a few hours at the weekends. Dunno if I'll get lag on private servers but the higher exp rates and drops seem more my thing.

I started playing when the game released late last month and I am already in full epics (admittedly, this is the point when things slow down, but that's really what the endgame is about anyway). The only thing I have used money on is cosmetic items.

Though I do admit that I have the advantage of being a TSW player so I got all the weapon pages unlocked from the get-go. Though even then, I have only been pumping points into two or three of them, which I am sure someone without the TSW advantage could have done with the same playtime as me.

DON'T.

I used to play. It's a cashgrab. They let people pay to be unbanned under the table. They hired two people who post child pornography and ERP with themselves in world chat. When they opened the Andorhal server for testing, the owner and his friends spawned himself gear at max level and went around PKing folks. They have a $100 mount on the market.

It became popular as fuck, so developers started to think that it was something in the formula that WoW was based on and not a cosmic coincidence.

If you look at the average western MMO UI, they usually consist of a hotbar at the bottom (and optional hotbars for the sides), a minimap in the top right corner and a quest log underneath it. Group interface is often on the left side of the screen and only shows up when you're in a party.

Meanwhile, you are often greeted with something like this when you boot up an eastern MMO.

Another thing WoW did was that it constantly spoon fed its players with things to make the game more convenient/easier (Ex. Flying mounts). This made it so whenever someone plays another MMORPG they get upset when they have to walk around on foot or actually talk to people and they start rating the game poorly or complain to the devs constantly about adding in fast travel, mounts, raid finder, etc

GW2 raids and high level fractals got actual roles where you require healers, DPS, tanks and two warriors.

They're all pretty much the same, and all have grinding, boring quests, lackluster pvp, etc.

I think MMOs have stagnated a bit because we're still on the same hardware as we were when the first MMO came out 20~ years ago, so I'm holding out for the first VR MMO.

Aion has consistently had more active players in Korea since it launched than WoW does, funnily enough.

It's completely dead in EU and NA. And rightfully so at that. EU was killed by Gameforge being greedy cunts with toaster servers and NA by devs being absolute faggots casualizing everything until it's unrecognizable.

Maybe in the begining of the game for just a little bit, its a gear based mmo so take that with what you will. You can control up to 3 characters as a team and can recruit some really insteresting npc charaters to your team with skills of their own. The music is really good and there's a lot of it, ranging from to just ok to great. One thing I really like about GE is that it has the coolest sounding concept in settting in any rpg and that it's a rpg set in a baroque period with hints of magic which in returned sort of help boost technological advancements a bit. Such a great concept wasted on a shitty Korean mmo.

Honestly, I stay away from MMOs purely because nothing has ever been able to live up to Mabinogi for me. I'll never forget the massive hype for Pioneers of Iria back then, or starting out when G2 just came out. Or all those memories with old friends. Or all the fucking drama with Mari server.

WoW has raids added just as often and they have 4 modes, on top of more side content most patches.

What the FUCK is up Mari-bro. I played since CB but I managed to suck shit the whole time I played the game, so my face was in the dirt too much to see any drama. Like, it's actually a feat how much I sucked at the game, but it was still amazing. Oh man, the friends I made. When will we get our mabi again, man?

>>
>>384722849
I was never involved in any of that drama stuff either, but it was kind of interesting to watch on the side. I remember back when the game was so unforgiving, now it just feels totally different. Remember when people actually used their pets in creative ways to fight tough mobs and shit? Where did it all go wrong? Reforges maybe?

As much as I miss those days, I don't think anything can bring back that kind of magic, you know?

For ERP, Futa, and being a casual that loves anime overall? Sure. Anything else you're over your head. Soul Worker is a better anime game than PSO2.

Fuck, man. I remember that shit, pets used to be pretty important.

Stop kidding yourself. PSO2 combat is miles ahead of other MMOs. It's also the best game to play as a manly robot.

>>384724196
It's an amazing game and i can't believe it's not more popular.
>>
>>384724092
It was just comfy as hell and in the beginning was blessed with a really good player base. The progression was always a mixed bag for me though. I remember what it was like when you could screw up your build by not doing windmill and refine. I spent a literal month grinding refine and mining, and that one way trip to TNN to kill zombies for windmill. It was a massive grind and everyone hated it but it was just so rewarding when you actually finished.

You're being memed on, son
t. played the game for two years. dev is running it to the ground

It's a great game and it has a lot of potential, I'm a bit worried about the game in the future because the devs are making some strange plans, but hopefully everything turns out ok.

You can do the in PvP and Bosses. you can just solo too. Not like you have friends anon, you'd be a solo player.

>>384724361
Soul Worker has much better combat than both of those games and a story worth sitting through unlike PSO2's shitty story. It started out ok and went to shit after (or was it during?) Episode 3.

>Got transferred over to nexon
>everything gets ruined.

I think MMO's should take a page out of its book however where they develop a very unique game and attract a cult following

Going for the WoW audience just isnt working anymore for the korea
>>
>>384726480
It's hard for me to say since I haven't played in years, but the game got more and more newbie friendly and pay2win as time went on. So, the crazy things in the past that made it really memorable for me are gone, but you can become a proficient player and do things a lot faster now. I'm considering trying out MabiPro, because there's no reforges there and the old combat system made you think more carefully. The reforges ruined the game in every way possible, but the later combat system is still good, just not as good as the old one.

Sometimes I feel like some of us players are just a bunch of old bastards holding on to memories of the past though. I'd say half the spirit of the game was still there when I last played (G18). Give it a try, because it still is a very unique game. But just don't expect the game that a lot of people like me reminisce about.
>>
>>384727105
There was nothing wrong with EP3 story idiot, also
>Story
>MMOs
Soul Worker doesn't qualify for good combat when it's a game based on combos strung together with cooldown abilities.
>>
>>384727287
This game was the shit, but Nexon completely killed it.
Also a lot of P2W practice didn't help at all.
>>
>>384726549
>Why won't they innovate?
1. MMO's are stupid fucking expensive to make and maintain, so companies often play it safe
2. Tab targeting combat everquest/WoW style is really good at remaining functional despite unpredictable amounts of lag
3. The Holy Trinity is a near foolproof way to make sure everyone has an idea of what they're doing, and can feel like they're contributing well to group fighting (contrast to how much of a clusterfuck GW2 can feel like)
4. The themepark model of MMO is an effective way to ease even the most clueless scrubs into your game, introduce people to all the content you have, and generally keep the subscription money flowing

There's a big graveyard filled with developers that tried to make something really innovative, and no one wants to join it.
>>
>>384685931
Yeah but locking all content behind the MSQ because SE have their dicks so far up their own asses they can't bear for players to experience the game without seeing the "amazing" generic anime plot they've crafted is annoying as hell and a huge barrier to new players. For example I wanted to get my sister into FFXIV but she's more casual and isn't willing to put up with all the MSQ stuff jut to play a fucking dungeon.
>>

Just stay away Aeria Games, their games are all copies of each other and as broken as the other. couldnt get past the tutorial of aura kingdom because it didnt register what i did as done and the game didnt let me redo it.

Anon, remember, you are talking to someone who played PSO2, so take your bullshit about "combos" and "no cooldown" you're trying to sell me and fuck off.

In PSO2 you used the same fucking skill. You put three of the same PA on 1 slot and never ever placed 3 different ones onto 1 slot. I've been here since episode 1. With the Lancer (forgot the name) all you did was use one PA, the Assault Buster as Hunter. The Flying disk move and the edgy ultimate sword attack move with swords as Hunter. And literally no one used the Wired Lance. With Force you focus on whatever tree was the best and used that one skill through the entire quest. Zonde was it's name for Lightning Build? But you get what I'm saying so fuck off with your wannabe combat depth.
>>
>>384727775
that's more of an xlegend issue, all of their games are the exact same; good potential with absolutely terrible implementation of the design. EE still has some of my favorite systems in MMOs but the negatives to it are just so far in the other direction that those good points are completely obscured. The vault is really great (not only can you store every unique item in the game in an account bound bank, you can also store every CASH SHOP item in there, including pets and shit, which are all also tradeable ingame and making money is not that hard), trophy system is great, the class system is great, the fact that you gain passive base character bonuses for leveling on any class is great. Everything else, fucking terrible.
>>
>>384728218
You've never played the game since EP3 so you don't bullshit me.

There is completely new control scheme overhaul where melee weapons get to keep normal attack and up to 5PAs + weapon action on their single palette each being able to be used at will similar to what would be previously available to Ranged weapons or Tech except better. In general Partizan now doesn't even really that much on Assault Buster and it has other gimmick that still requires you to use various different PAs. Sword gets to have only one useless PA now. Fighter weapons also use most of their arsenal.

The combat in PSO2 is natural flowing as fuck right now.
>>
gw2 might be worth a shot, with a new expansion right around the corner. The game has changed a lot for the better since launch.
