i was playing on warmane-wotlk with my friends a few months ago but we got tired of the server really fast cause literally all people did was farm ICC and sit in town with their bought shadowmournes. half of the server was only characters that could equip shadowmourne.
we couldn't even get a 10man raid together 3 weeks in a row for content under ICC at that contents gearscore level which is 80% of the game that people were just skipping

at least the people that were playing when the communities first started appearing were doing different gaming stuff before that and they can adapt easier.

The only way a good MMO could ever be made at this point is if money becomes a non factor for the devs, as in they have infinite funds to make and update the game.

Then add it actually making good design decisions and adopt a cute anime aesthetic like Tree of Savior (subjective but you now it's the best) into the mix and you realize MMO will never be good.

>New netcode techniques and broadband
Do you even know what you're talking about? Netcodes haven't evolved in over 20+ years. The way the server sends packets to the clienr hasn't changed at all. Also, having 100mbps broadband internet doesn't make your MMO better. MMOs are entirely based on latency and stability, not download speed. MMORPGs at their core gams design are based off of MUDs except with 3D graphics. If you don't like MUDs, you won't like MMOs. End of story. Expecting an entire genre for the past 20+ years to change exclusively for you is shortminded.

FFXIV is far from dead. But it's not for everyone. If you want some magical MMO that has hundreds of thousands of players, world pvp with droppable loot from players, unlimited amount of content, not have microtransactions or grinding, and devil may cry tier combat then you're setting your expectations way too high and you're exactly the reason why the genre is in a slump.

>make it a better social media than actual social media it'll become popular

This is what I meant by vr getting its shit together. Almost every time I have seen portrayed in fictional media it was always related to socializing with others via avatars.

I also think this is also the reason MMOs suck right now. They only work if there is incentive to social with others and things like fb and twitter have monopolized that. Vr can change socializing over the internet so it most likely give mmos some fresh air it needs.
>>
>>386654687

Yes because that's exactly what we need, more clones of more shit already out. Has wildstar taught you people nothing? We need a new breath of fresh air into this genre, something to break the monotony of something that's been the same for a long ass time. How about starting with one of the most important parts of the game: the combat.

I unironically think that the way Dark Souls does it's pseudo-mmo multiplayer is the best possible method.
>game is still genuinely good and well-designed for singleplayer instead of being gimped
>can integrate with other players quickly for co-op or pvp whenever you like
I know "souls-like" is a dumb meme but I'd like to see someone make a pseudo-MMO that had a Demon's Souls style hub full of players that let you access different levels that you could play solo or with up to 3 other people and have invasions and duels and shit. They could also have bosses balanced around raids and have like 10 people fight it at once, and make the bosses and general game a bit more balanced for multiple players so it doesnt break the game like co-op in Dark Souls.

OPEN WORLD PVP SURVIVAL CRAFTING MMO WITH PERMA DEATH AND LOOTING OTHER PLAYERS CORPSES is what this MMO genre needs.

Fuck off with your mob grinding, spamming group invites in chat to kill a carebear PvE boss, and tedious questing.

Game engine shits itself when it has to calculate the combat log in a non-solo or instanced MMO battle scenario. Also it becomes a visual clusterfuck.

So EVE? Minus the permadeath, of course.

When did he say that
Where, anywhere in that fucking post, did he even so much as imply that.
How did the 2 neurons in your fucking brain manage to rub together this backwards-ass thought.

Visuals can be turned down if they're really that jarring

So people paid a monthly subscription fee to use a AOL chatroom? What did they for MMO mechanics that's way better than modern MMOs? Not talking about forced socialization because no auto group finder but how exactly did players invest so much time into the game without it being boring or using the game as a chatroom exclusively?

Korean MMOs use game engines that are notoriously unoptimized. Getting a better computer won't stop poor coding that leads to massive CPU frame drops.

Reread the reply chain. The engine falls apart in non instanced dungeons.

Is there anything similar?
>>
>>386658154

Modern MMOs are basically just gacha trash with auction boards and queues. Everyone is " da hero! "

This is why Runescape is so fondly remembered. You could just catch fish, cook them and sell them. Or you could be a dick with a gank squad in the wilderness. Or you could be a hunter/gatherer. Or a trader. etc.

WoW and other themepark MMOs are garbage because player agency and emergent gameplay opportunities are nonexistent. You're literally just being skinner boxed to death.
>>
>>386658454
Game works fine for me in instanced dungeons, agian, your hardware is trash.
>>
>>386657842
I would enjoy a game similar to this but with an intricate and involving storyline to complement the game play. Also, having a pre-modern industrialized feel to it. Maybe like EVE Online but Steampunk. That is my dream game.
>>
>>386658616
I could fish, cook them, and sell them in FFXIV too. I also can be gatherer/crafter/market board seller. I could also be a dick in frontlines pvp by swapping classes during combat.

But nope RuneScape is the only one that does this and is fondly remembered.
>>
>>386658674
>Works fine in linear closed off dungeon
No shit.
Now go out in the open world and engage in massive player battle. See what happens.
>>
>>386657080

people who pirate games live with mommy and daddy, maybe work, but spend all their income on pc hardware instead of moving out of home and getting qualified
>>
>>386658787

Did I say Runescape was the only game in history that did any of the stuff I was praising? I'll wait here while you sit there feeling like a huge faggot.

If I'm honest maybe a decade. Yea I know wishful thinking but this is kind of thread. Btw I am keeping expectations super low. I don't expect the first attempt to be good. If anything I look forward to progress. Persistance is all it takes.

you only have yourself to blame

Doesn't even have to be pvp. Korean MMOs shit themselves in open world massive multiplayer PVE too.
>>
>>386657842
>PERMA DEATH
Yeah no cause no one will ever do word PVP like that.

I would like it if you dropped gold or potions of something when you get killed by others.

The creators are apparently trying to make something similar to it, not sure if they have made any progress on it.

Path of Exile.

I still have hope for Camelot Unchained to not be garbage.

>>386648552
I will never forget FFXI.

Allods online.

At the end of the day people just want more WoW. As evident by how FFXIV is growing, there's always a new private server for WoW coming out with massive numbers of players joining, and how the 3 most subbed MMOs on Reddit are all Themepark MMOs.

>>386649523
Usually the person who talks the most we know is going to be the shitter.

They talk in order to humanize themselves so we don't boot them when they fuck up.

>>386659206
Theres no open world PVE in TERA..Nothing that counts as "massive"

Nigga, that shit is cancer.

this. the WoW formula is too strong. it's what the majority of people want. developers couldn't care less about niche sandbox MMO ideas or shit like permadeathforcedsocializationopenworldsurivalcraftingeveryonemustfuckingcirclejerktogether

>>386655189
>I also think this is also the reason MMOs suck right now. They only work if there is incentive to social with others and things like fb and twitter have monopolized that.

It certainly didn't help that several MMOs (I'm looking at you, WoW) actively stripped out and de-incentivized the social aspect over several years in an attempt to attract people who traditionally don't like MMOs.
LFG/LFR teleportation, removal of group quests/world elite mobs, server depopulation & fragmentation, reduction of world travel, incorporating functionality of outside tools directly into the game (removing the need to ask people on the server chats), these all contributed to the WoW's downfall.

But that audience immediately dropped ship and migrated to MOBAs when they became popular.

>mmo's are dead in the water as a genre
Ever thought it's because almost every MMO was just a WOW clone? And that those MMOs are total shit?
Regardless, MMO's aren't dead, they're just changing. Technically Destiny was an MMO and it was quite successful. The Division, while pretty shitty, had lots of MMO mechanics and it also did pretty well and was fun. MMOs aren't dead but they won't be more shitty WOW clones.
>>
>>386660638
also it's no surprise that the top 3 MMOs are all toaster friendly. WoW can be played on 2004 hardware, FFXIV runs on PS3 from 2006, and Runescape runs on phones and your web browser.

Have you played WoW since 2013? It absolutely fucking cant you faggot

I heard Morrowind fucked it up and people were leaving.

Survival games tend to satisfy my mmo itch. Not even close to the same but they give me similar feelings only survival games always have cancer players.

you fought other guilds for spawns
I remember racing against another huge guild.

it was painful but it generate GRIT

It was like playing Dark Souls with a group of people where half knew what to do and the other half just bought the game.
