I am SICK and TIRED of getting jumped by level one skeleton goons

Tried my best to recreate the image on right. Feel free to suggest improvements. And also rate it!

Work in progress Action RPG inspired on popular Metin2 MMO Game. This is just a teaser video (all weapons will be available in game). More about the project in Hytale Modding discord - still not even in alpha testing phase.

For a long time, I've been craving for mmos that have great gameplay especially the combat. I've tried mmos such as WOW and GW2 but the tab-targeting combat is a massive turn-off for me and couldn't really play those mmos for a long time before getting bored.

I know Runeteria is one of the hytale mmo servers in development, so I'm pretty excited for that and hopefully they get it right. I'm excited to hangout with lots of people and fight mobs in an action-style combat. Plus, the survival aspect would be huge and would definitely make it more immersive than other mmos.

What do you think?

(Some people think I'm talking about the game itself turning into an MMORPG, but I'm only talking about hytale servers. Sorry for the misunderstanding!)

I saw another post talking about this subject and thought I'd give my take. This post may be a bit ranty and will be pretty lengthy, but bare with me here. Because there's a point to all of this.

I think I truly see Hypixel's vision for this game and the potential for what it could become in the future. I believe they are building the bones for a full scale Sandbox MMORPG style game.

World Gen & universes

This post here on the Hytale blog by Dan and Amber discusses world gen v2 and how it works. It gives them the methods and controls to create unique full scale procedurally generated regions or or zones as they call them. These zones can contain sub-biomes, uniquely generated caves, resources, structures and even classic rpg style dungeons that take place right in the overworld that contain unique enemies, bosses and loot to obtain and MUCH more.

Each of these regions / zones can contain their OWN subset of structures, complete dungeons and sub-biomes. All of them can be COMPLETELY unique from eachother and offer totally different gameplay experiences and rewards to obtain that are exclusive to that zone. And there's still two more zones that they haven't shown yet.

These things already exist within the current playable version of the game. But world gen v2 takes this even further and allows them to add even more flavor and variation within the environment. Seriously read the blog post I linked and you'll see just how powerful world gen v2 will be.

So what about universes?

So we discovered that a single server can host multiple world files, you can use the instance command to teleport yourself to a different world file. I can have two different worlds with two different seeds on my server and switch between them at will.

This is how the ancient gateway item works in the game, it utilizes world gen v2 load up a freshly generated custom world (an instance) for you to loot and pillage for 6 minutes, the ones we can see in game currently are essentially outdoor dungeons

I believe the forgotten temple we see in the game is basically just another one of these instances, except without a timer and it wouldn't be considered a dungeon.

Why is all of this so important?

Essentially, having a system that can load up custom spaces or instances to explore opens up a LOT of opportunities for game development.

Everything I said about instances fits perfectly with everything I mentioned with world gen v2. They can make incredibly detailed worlds with unique and interesting points of interest to explore and discover.

Imagine your hundreds or thousands of blocks away from home, you've been trekking through a desert for what feels like thousands of blocks, maybe you should have stopped and turned back when you saw that lush desert oasis an hour ago? But you kept going, you stumble upon what seems to be an ancient desert crypt or temple, you venture inside and fight some desert skeletons, find some random loot and treasure. You go deeper and deeper, battling your way through the crypts

And then you find a portal.

Where might this portal lead? Maybe it teleports you to a custom instance that is a massive underground ancient labyrinth filled with totally unique enemies and maybe boss fights with multiple phases to them, you find new armors and weapons that can ONLY be obtained within that instance.

Having a generated dungeon happen in the regular overworld is cool. But having a way to load up a instanced world file that simply just contains a massive procedurally generated dungeon offers soooo much more.

The lore

Based on this blog post they made it clear that they definitely have some really big plans for this game and it think it's worth reading.

Right now we play on the world of Orbis. Orbis has 6 zones in total

Zone 1 Emerald Wilds - forest biomes

Zone 2 Howling Sands - desert biomes

Zone 3 Borea - frost/snow biomes

Zone 4 Defeated Lands - fire/volcanic biomes

Zone 5 not officially announced but presumably is the Sky lands

Zone 6 also not officially announced but will probably be something void related

Each of these zones can offer totally unique experiences and even instanced dungeons.

But you know what else? In the lore they have multiple "alterverses" which are essentially other planets or planes of existence.

Orbis and all 6 zones aren't the only things they've planned and I believe this game could become so much more than we might realize.

Being able to have a complete universe with different planets or planes of existence all with totally custom and unique zones, points of interest, world generation, dungeon instances, sub-biomes, wildlife, plantlife, ect, ect just like orbis essentially gives them the bones to create a feature full MMORPG sandbox experience

Okay get to the point already

They could quite literally release World of Warcraft scale expansions to the game where each expansion offers a new hub "just like the forgotten realm", multiple zones with unique dungeons, biomes and points of interest, new armor sets, weapons, wildlife and maybe totally brand new gameplay mechanics or features we've never even seen before.

Imagine full scale instanced dungeons or raids similar to the size of other MMORPG games where you can run them by yourself or with friends. And just like other MMORPG's, You can run this instance multiple times and each time it will be totally different because it will be procedurally generated for you right there on demand.

Each zone can generated massive point of interest structures that can lead you towards those instanced dungeons or raids

They have the ability to MASSIVELY scale this game up once they get it up and running for their official release. This game is NOT just a sandbox game with some rpg elements.

It has the possibility to completely evolve into a full fledged feature complete MMORPG-like experience that takes place within a procedurally generated sandbox world, giving every player a totally unique experience and adventure to have with their friends.

What we are seeing right now with Orbis and the 6 zones could essentially be the equivalent of vanilla World of Warcraft. They could release full scale expansions in the future.

An experience like this is already possible with the systems they have in place and we are pretty much only playing an alpha version of the game. they are hard at work building the bones of this experience. We just gotta let 'em cook.

And don't even get my started on what this could mean for modding. Imagine servers that host their OWN version of some sort of feature complete MMO type experience.

Mark my words, this game is going to evolve into something soooo much greater than we might realize.

Or I'm totally wrong and reading wayyy too much into this all of this lol. Please tell me your thoughts!

The minigame waiting area for hypixel bedwars is in the prefab list, meaning we are close to minigames, and this will be the waiting area!
