Fir all who knows the anime its i a oerfect MMO world if you ask me ( or those who dont know the Anime Watch it its awesome ).
Just immagina live service like that where a lot of secrets events are available and secret npcs also like a rotation all 3 monta or so would be really nice then the fact that there are 7 unique biss monsters that have secret triggers what a success would that be.
Hey y'all!!
I am trying to find a new MMORPG to play. There are certain things I am looking for in an MMORPG.
First a little backstory of my MMO experience. I never played MMORPGs when I was young. Back when I was at school the only MMOs that were "known" were WoW and Lineage2 but I didn't give them a try. Finally, in my 2nd-3rd year in the university -around 2012-2013- I gave Lineage2 a shot with some of my friends who did play L2 when younger. I had a lot of fun playing it but I was really not a big fun of just pressing 3 buttons and moving with mouse. Later I played TERA, a bit later than when it was released but still in 2013. For future reference these were my best MMO gaming hours since I really enjoyed a lot of things in that game but that's information for later. In the meantime, I gave a lot of other MMORPGs a shot and played several of them like Blade and Soul (where I really enjoyed the Arenas), Archeage (just a bit only), Bless Online, etc. Always returned to TERA though, which unfortunately got shut down. After that I played Ascent: Infinite Realm (Or later known as Elyon) in Thailand servers which I enjoyed. Played just a bit of Elyon when it came to the west since they completely changed it. Then played again some Lineage2 for the friends and then played some WoW for the first time during Dragonflight season 3. I always played WoW since then for a few months in every expansion and coming back for a bit during some season changes. Then I also played Throne and Liberty and now trying out a bit Aion2 in the TW servers which to me feels like I play a mobile game with that UI and world but it seems fine.
So what am did I enjoy in those MMOs, what did I not like and what am I looking for in an MMO?
I was completely in love with TERA's combat. I am searching to find similar combat as well but it is totally in vein. What I am looking for though is for an MMO that has at least Action Combat. Action combat is non-negotiable.
I also really liked TERA's dungeons. They had some challenging mechanics (at least a few of them in each expansion) and also mechanics that needed reflexes with dodging using iframes etc. I liked how fast-paced action combat was translating into boss mechanics. I don't want dungeons that you just press W and yolo it. Nor am I looking for dungeons that are actually like M+ where the most difficult part is the mobs.
Regarding grind and gearing. I want the dungeons to feel fulfilling to finish but also to have the main drops. I don't want (how TnL does it for example) completely timegated dungeons, able to do like 1 or 2 easy dungeons a day and then go do some horrendous solo grind/farm mobs for 1-2 hours etc. I want to find better equipment in dungeons, put it on, maybe enchant it etc. Or even just drop the main materials in dungeons/raids and go craft my gear.
I want to have a mostly new-gen feel, with good graphics a bit like Throne and Liberty but not feel like playing Witcher. For instance, I tried ESO but I really hated it. It felt like I was playing an action RPG rather than an MMO.
What about p2w? Well I don't mind the game having p2w elements, as long as they don't lock you out of drops etc if you dont pay for them. Paying to progress faster is fine by me and I might even use it some times since my time is limited due to work. Also I don't mind a game having subscription or being buy to play. For example I see Aion2 as a subscription game since you will have to pay 15 euros a month to play it which is fine by me since I see it like that.
This isn't a do or die thing but if it has PvP arenas and BGs it will be great by me.
I want to be able to farm for achievements, cosmetics etc since I am some kind of completionist in the games. For example the fact that I was able to farm the whole Legion in WoW for mounts, green warlock fires, titles, transmogs etc was exciting for me and kept me invested in the game.
I want to be able to do things without being in a massive guild. I want to be able to do it both with guildies and also be able to log in one day and just Matchmake or find other parties and do the dungeons.
So the question is... Which MMORPG is for me? Is BDO something I would enjoy based on the above? Should I stick with waiting for Aion2? Any other suggestions that I might not know?
I’m scouring the bottom of the barrel here, I’ll go to private servers of games to find what I’m looking for if it even exists at all. It could even be something like a popular dayz server, garrys mod, gta, whichever.
I’m looking for an mmo with territorial warfare between guilds, but not one that has a reset every few weeks, one that lingers where players have to either log in to defend there turf or lose it, but not something totally insane, a timer or something is in place to give the defenders and attackers time to get their people and tools together.
Preferably, it’s something at least somewhat skill based, not pay to win (though I guess a little is okay), an active community where they don’t mind new people to teach them.
I know this probably doesn’t exist, but I’m just so tired of something like this type of game not existing.
Hey guys,
I’m a bit in a struggle at the moment. I have no idea what to play but I’m looking for something new. I have played most mmos there is but thrive for something fresh. I downloaded GW2 today again but don’t know if I should set myself into that since I haven’t played it a lot and everything still feels new to me. Most of the time i have played MMOs solo but that doesn’t feel great anymore… is GW2 a socially active game? Are there guilds? I’m just tired of doing everything for my self.
Thanks in advance
So as a married man i dont have that much time to play but i really want to start a new mmo.
Black Desert online i was told is better for some casual gaming but FFXIV looks amazing aswell but it does cost 15€ to play for 30 days. What is your opinion?
The best way I can describe it, is that I am looking for a MMO where somebody could ask me "Hey, you wanna do this content with us" and my response would be more "Yeah! Sounds fun!" instead of "Sure I guess".
Less speedrunning a dungeon to get loot faster or doing some super optimal but boring strat. I mean more exciting adventures, challenges, or just chaos. I'm not competitive enough for PvP though, nor do I enjoy just playing solo content, or effectively solo with others happening to be around. So I can only hope for the best with group PvE.
I highly encourage not just suggesting a MMO, but also elaborating what group content people do together that you think is great for fun over optimization. Just saying "Guild Wars 2" isn't useful as saying "GW2, but try this stuff out, it's way more fun than fractals and strikes if you hate the boonball meta".
I currently play World of warcraft a lot for years but I am starting to enjoy FF14 more (free trail)
I didnt like classic wow anymore and I am trying to distant myself from retail wow(because of story drama going on and community) I do say ff14 feels the safer space for me now days.
I want to hear your judgement on this because I have very little friends which I am scared of trying to make friends. (I have autism) I think WoW is not for me. but FF14 feels easier to build acquaintances.
what your thoughts I should do?
I can't return to ff14 for personal, painful reasons. But I really miss the community there, interacting with people & building small stories together with OCs. But I don't know what game would fill that niche for me when ff14 was the pinnacle for me.
WOW? ESO? I've played ESO to endgame but I don't feel like continuing it. WOW would be very fresh & new to me but unsure where to begin if I want to experience older stories & locations like ff14 & ESO allows for. Second Life is...let's just not go there, lol. I'd rather wait for GW3 for a new clean slate than try GW2 again. I don't want forced PVP at all. Sub isn't an issue but I have to be careful with gachas/Pay-to-win games
I know, I know, I'm likely being picky & these are likely my only real options if I'm not going back to ff14 but I'll hear out suggestions even if they're non-mmo.
I have played a little WoW when I was a kid but other than that I've been a hardcore league of legends player. I'm looking for an MMO to play on the couch to destress myself from that (LoL) horrible game. Any game you guys recommend? Can be on the switch 2 too.
Hello i want to switch mmorpg since someone in ff14 said you wont make any friends anywhere but i know that gw2 eso and bdo will all perform worse on my laptop with a igpu then ff14 so can you suggest me a good alternative mmorpg.
I stopped playing mobile games for a long while, I still think the golden age of it was around 2011-2016 where a bunch of indies and bite sized lunch games were super fun to deal with, also ports of AAA titles and ports from pc were slowly blowing there which was also really cool to see, but I’m wondering.. aside from GW Reforged and Runescape.. is there anything else worth playing atm where I could jump between my pc and phone?
I have an Iphone 17 Pro Max and I normally play the oldies (non mmos) like angry birds, badland, some shmups like dodonpachi and hell I do love me some rhythm games which they are my main genre.. but I want to mess with an MMO.
Hi
So I came across Bind's video on the mmo Dark Ages. And I couldn't help but to think that damn, THIS is a nice MMO when it comes to the social aspect, like actual people talking, spending time together, story being created and all that stuff.
So I was wondering, do you know any other MMO nowadays that still check these boxes? I came to a point where i don't really care what the gameplay really is, I want a game that is ALIVE
I played both games maybe for 1-2 months at the start but havent really tried it again. how are they now if i started over right now.
Was pretty nostalgic recently, and tried out a few mmorpgs and realized that all of them were completely solo experience. Like even WoW was instance based experience or you need to get to the endgame to go big raids. So you kinda can do everything in the game without any interaction with the other people.
My personal favourtite was lineage 2, because it was difficult as fuck and you had to party play while still wearing diapers. Different classes made for different niches, like Shillen Elder was giving out mana, while Sorcerer was shooting fireballs. You basically couldn't do anything alone, as even simplest mobs would fuck you up.
Any recommendations for difficult MMORPGs, where party play is de-facto mandatory? Be it old or new, doesn't matter, just still alive.
I have been bored playing fps shooters game and want to play a mmo to no life for a while but the only one i have played was lost ark in 2023 with my dad and enjoyed it, and bdo i played for 2 hours and got bored. what is the best mmo to play today, Ive thought of going back to lost ark and bdo but bdo wasn't that fun.
I am looking at possibly returning to online games, can people give me some recommendations. Here are some considerations. I have a PS5 and can look at getting a PC. I have played FF11/14 and I tend to like that genre of rpg’s. I think I want to focus on a new or soon to be released game, my thinking it will make starting out more of a level playing field in most areas. I don’t mind paying a monthly fee but I do mind games that pay to win.
Hey. Im looking for something that's focused on grinding mobs/bosses (ideally soloable, but if there is smooth matchmaking then groups are also fine), and has a very very long vertical progression. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I don't mind some p2w. Here is a list of games that I played with my thoughts on them so maybe it helps with understanding what Im looking for :
MapleStory - it has been my beloved game back in the day, I am waiting for classic but I've played this game so much I'm afraid I am burnt out.
Ragnarok online - also one of my favorites from the past, same deal like with MapleStory.
Black desert - I like the ideas behind the game but I don't like the fighting-game style combat, learning combos etc is not my cup of tea. Also I absolutely hate the classes for the most part, they all look very samey to me and nothing appeals to me.
OSRS - again. I love the ideas behind this but way too many things to do that have nothing to do with combat grind. I can stand in one place for 16 hours beating up mobs with 1 skill but cutting down trees and crafting some runes is not my cup of tea
Tibia - I only played it back in the day (like 20 years ago) and I loved it then. I'm not sure if it's worth coming back to for what I'm looking for ?
It's probably worth to mention that I also love aRPGs (PoE 1 and 2, last epoch, grim dawn, D4 to a lesser extent and probably I've played all the other obvious ones..) or games like Warframe and soulframe... I don't mind stuff being instanced if that matters.
I will appreciate any hints, I am really struggling to find something in this vein.
Thank you
Been kinda in a state of mind of wanting to try some new MMOs and again was just in what people think of them
So I'm stuck using a laptop with 4GB of RAM that shares about 1GB with the radeon iGPU.
OS is Linux.
Albion runs pretty well although it's not scratching the itch.
Anarchy Online also runs quite nicely but I'm not sure about the game itself just yet (I played a tiny bit of it as a teen while it was still current)
Lastly, Everquest 'runs', but my system freezes when it tries to open a web browser to sell me membership.
Everquest is the type of game I'd be more interested in playing, but not having the best luck.
I've also tried OSRS and RS3...I prefer RS3 but it doesn't run great unfortunately.
Hi.
Throughout my time in gaming I’m at a point where I want to find a game where I can enjoy the beginning of the adventure and truly sink my life into as a part time thing when I’m done with a lot of what the game has to offer one day or even really get into it when something big happens. I’ve tried ESO (still debating picking it up as I’m a sucker for elder scrolls but the gameplay is alright.), I’ve tried fallout 76 although not quite the same obviously but it’s kind of falling off on me, and black desert but just didn’t like it, the list goes on. One thing that really keeps me in “check” when thinking about getting in something like this so that “I’m too late” or that I’ve simply missed out on so much that is gently pushes the idea out of my brain but it always comes back to me because I really enjoy the genre and what it has to offer but I’m unsure of where to start, look, you name it. I’m open to some ideas as long as it feels engaging and with a world that feels alive. Im also a big sucker for combat, customization in any way whether it’s a home, outfitting, etc.
I’m open to any recommendations that fit my criteria, e.g, solid-good combat that feels like I’m hitting something, housing with customization maybe to even the extent of fo76 (would be a good bonus), customization in general, a world that feels alive.
Thanks in advance.
