    I like your point about MMOs needing less group content to survive. I like the social aspect of MMOs, in that I like doing dungeons, I like doing raids, and I like talking to people, but I am typically playing at times that nobody else is, generally before work, so I appreciate games that are “solo story” driven with optional group content.

      Agree 100. I love group stuff too, heck I met my SO in an mmo. But gating required or story content behind grouping is silly. Forcing someone to group, or for that matter forcing them to play solo, isn't good IMHO. I like options.

    In wow whilst leveling you aren't forced to do the group quests but is rewarded if you do. You aren't forced to do dungeons, but it makes the leveling experience easier in the long run.

    13:35 if at any point in time, you cant have a group of 50+ players randomly run passed you while you are doing something in an open world area, its not an mmo
    mmo in my definition is people are able to be everywhere outside of certain spots, and the problem with mmos is they tend to work better when you make those certain sports the norm so the game is even less mmo then normal. lets take guild wars as an example. the meta for guild wars is not open world its instances, however massive 100+ person battles in the open world still happen, to me this is what makes an mmo an mmo.

    The only reason I love MMOs is because the worlds are massive, the content is massive. I love games like Zelda botw and Witcher, Elden ring etc. But they are all small in comparison to MMOs. For me my dream would be a single player mmo lol. Like wow but scaled for single players, raids for single players etc. Wow is probably the biggest rpg world ever made, there’s no other game with that much content. Most open world games get like 1 dlc or 2 and are done and the great thing about MMOs is that we get content for years, the only bad thing is it’s a multiplayer

    pre-reg to get the rewards, then piss off for a month and see if its not DOA or leveraging all of its value on FOMO. played it for about an hour, kind of left me feeling meh.
    the intro didn't greatly impress me, forgetable characters, no clear motivation for why you're there or why I should be interested in playing to find out.
    The VA is decent; but the mixing and editing is terrible, with sentences getting clipped off and the text not matching the voice lines.
    The combat movement is good, but the animations feel a bit jank overall.
    The aesthetic is good and the colors pop, but it feels like the actual texture resolution is sub-par (looks kinda...i dunno...muddy?).
    the music and sound design were way to extra. dont need to bring out the horns for every little thing, and once again the mixing was terribad.
    overall it just left me feeling like I was playing a really well put together asset flip. hard to describe, felt kinda souless? 100% feels like a mobile game with PC characteristics, rather than full PC release that happens to run on mobile.

    The game will be hype for now but maybe 2-3 months later it will slowly die down caz it hardcore heavy game.

One of the reason why I hate about about lost ark and stop playing not because of the p2w aspects but because of the classes are not balance at all.

      But you can just not play the PVP tho. I agree that the PVP is most likely gonna be p2w, but it's not forced on you. I think the reward for the bottom rank and the top rank is 100 and 500 crystals, it's hardly worth it to push just for the reward unless you actually enjoy the PVP. I don't see why it's become the reason to not play the game, I think it's just a small part of the game. Unless you also don't like the rest of the game too, then it's fair.

    Hit lvl 27 today, so far the gacha mechanics aren't too bad. Two things really hurting the experience for me though.
    1. Some bosses are just terrible. Frost Bot has a spin where he freezes those around him. You can break people out of it using fire-weapons. However, the aoe on the freeze feels like it's half the arena... it's just far too big.
    2. Some exploration mechanics are time-locked. Pods, for instance, are spheres that contain loot and can only be looted a single per account. Some pods won't unlock for several RL days making you not want to do _any_ exploration until all the locks in a zone are over. I think the starter zone fully unlocks by tomorrow, but the second zone fully unlocks in about 50 more hours.

    • @redzuana6979
      @redzuana6979 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah Frostbot's freeze seems to be a mechanics intended to punish the group for failing the dps check, but then there's also the problem of not enough time thawing people out of the one-shot freeze, why even put it in the first place if there's barely anytime to do it.
