I would really like the option to join and leave cross region so I can play with all my global friends. The problem is the hopping back and forth because currently AFAIK your players data needs to be stored in the region you play ons server and it takes a lot of power basically to transfer them back and forth. We will see!
Love the Megaservers in gw2. Just go to the lfg join a group and join them on their map. So easy. Hope they also do something like the commandos so you can join up to 50 people for big events.
Well, if it's going to work the exact way I remember it from gw2, it just pops up a little window on a side, notifying you that you have low amount of the players on your channel/map/instance w/e. It offers you to swap to the populated one (but you can stay for 1 hour if you don't wanna move) and gives you a +15% xp buff after moving. The system has big flaws with the way META events and zerg amount of players moving from channel to channel with the commander (raid leader kind of in gw2) to grind activities. But it's better than wow ig. If riot improve the system, it will be ideal. In the whole picture, I think that it's not even that important. The priority for this is way lower than gameplay/gamedesign/balancing/systems and anything, really. I would rather pref godlike gamedesign/combat/immersion/worldbuilding with the meh server system than vice versa. Knowing riot though, they'll try to sweat it 100% lol. Like they did with the lowest tick rate among fps genre in valorant.
Just before watching the full video, they will certainly implement some sort of a shared world or a mega server, part of the reason why the mmo is taking so long even though they have a completed universe and lore, is because they are making a brand new server and network infrastructure, call it a "next gen mmo server" , we just dont really know what its gonna be like. Nice video thought, deserve more views!
I am personally not a HUGE fan of a super extensive 300 hour MSQ. What I do think would be great, and something I could see Riot doing, is having a MSQ for each region. This would allow people to play the regions they enjoy but not feel necessarily blocked from playing endgame without doing them if they do not want to. This is how Legends of Runeterra is in a way. So yeah, I guess compartmentalized MSQ. With side quests thrown in for those who want to really explore every little nook, cranny and character. Also, Champ Quests would be cool to unlock various features in the game.
I would prefer regular servers but being able to hop between all servers under the same datacenter. All for free ofc like osrs and ff14. No it doesnt have to cost money Blizzard is scamming you. Why? So you can run into the same people in the world and create a sense of community that way, whilst also having no restriction. It will not have that instance phasing like gw2 where you have a convo with a guy, go bugger off to turn in a quest, come back and that person is gone and the area is filled with a new instance of people Letting players set a default home world and the ability to visit others at no cost and no downsides means players can also assign servers for activities,like world bosses, open pvp, you wouldnt even need matchmaking, just hop to the server where the activity/minigame home world is to meet lots of people doing the same thing. Guilds can also assign a homeworld so its irrelevant what server you picked for your character, you can just hop for free instantly and seamlessly
I think sharding is unhealthy for an mmo, but if there was 3 servers on each megaserver with a 10k cap, that would be perfect. Maybe 6 with a 5k cap for launch week only.

Not me thinking "GW2" was "Garden Warfare 2" lmao
😅
Pvz
Mega Server is way better, i do wonder if they'll even allow cross-region play, even if the ping kills us all :v
i wanna int your raids, spun

I was wondering this, awesome that you made a video about this!
Glad you liked it!!

I was just playing GW2 I started recently
It’s very underrated! Unfortunately starting to feel a bit dated.

Here’s a question for YOU:
Would you want them to do a MSQ campaign or mini quest lines and basic quests? What would they do?
I am personally not a HUGE fan of a super extensive 300 hour MSQ. What I do think would be great, and something I could see Riot doing, is having a MSQ for each region.
This would allow people to play the regions they enjoy but not feel necessarily blocked from playing endgame without doing them if they do not want to.

I imagine it will be like LoL and Valorant where you get placed in a region based on your account info.
ESO has MegaServers also, it's actually one of the best features of ESO.
Main reason I mentioned GW2 over ESO is they actually hired the guy who made the GW2 servers!!
ESO Megaserver is just a tad better than what GW2 uses.
ESO just uses 1 Server per Region.
So no hopping needed.
Curious to see how this technology has progressed!
@@oheyspun Same here.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the info, this is very interesting
Sounds like its being made by ppl that will actually want to play it!
Yes it is!
as i say in everywhere, imo they are making a genshing impact ofc not allsame gameplay but near.

I’m liking the mega server with channels structure right now. You can play with anyone just hop to a channel together.
The average development time of a mmorpg is about 6 years maximum. So in this idea, there would remain more than 2 years maximum to wait
Yup, MMO must be coming out soon!
😒

ESO did megaserver before gw2
i hope no server like in Lost Ark, made me quit really
If it's anything like Albion Online... It MIGHT Just work
i hope they let you play as small people
Pvz?
