>everquest had it right all alongImagine you play a new MMO, you're just fighting some random low level snake and it poisons you. Now imagine that there's no such thing as an antidote in the game, unless you find another player who's playing a class that is capable of healing poison, you'll just die because of some faggot snake.So you say fuck that and go fight some other low level enemies, but for some reason you're doing literally 0 damage no matter how much you shoot at them. Turns out they have a magical shield that can only be removed by specific player classes.So you say wtf and move on again, but you're kinda low on HP/mana and it's taking super long to regenerate. Just like there was no antidote, there's also no recovery items, you're supposed to be rejuvenated by a magical recovery field, a bard, or a fresh meal that will expire unless eaten 10 minutes after being cooked by a chef.So you wait for half a fucking hour to regenerate like an autist and move on. But you moved wrong, because the new place has cold environment that requires campfires or warmth spells to survive in, neither is available for your fighter class.Move again, but this time the enemies fuck your shit up within 2 seconds and kill you. Turns out someone's supposed to use a trap or a slowness spell that lets ranged fighters kite them.And what's this, because you died you'll drop all the consumable items on you, your equipment durability drops to 0, and you also lose 5% of your total XP/levels....... unless a priest (who can't fight at all against non-undead enemies) resurrects you.I never played EverQuest and I know it's not like this, but I've heard it's similar. What if you had an MMO that, while it doesn't have an explicit teaming up mechanic or force you to team up with other players, in practice it's fundamentally unplayable if you don't. Different combinations of classes are useful in different places depending on what the enemies and environment is like.
>>816453>No one wants to play MMOs for single player grindshitThose are literally the biggest MMOs.
>>816030If you want to PvP, why would you play a game where you have to grind for levels and skills?
>>817595because there exists a mentally deficient audience that unironically believes grinding extrinsic digital numbers is a skill
>>817595I dunno but the game doesn't have much to offer outside of that. The starting areas are just a vast expanse of nothing with random mobs for you to grind, but at least EQ did that somewhat soulfully. DAoC's monster grinding is just unfun and there's nothing to find out in the world because all they want you to do is gear up and go PvP.
>>817501>WOW in its prime had people raiding cities and constant warfare in an open world setting>Subs flatlined when flying became normalized and plummeted when dungeon and raid finders were introduced>WOW clones fail completely>FFXIV had to shift gears and make a shoddy final fantasy game with MMO jank because they also don't know how the fuck to make an MMO, which lead to success>Everything else is dead AFTry again>>817595>implying an inherent property of MMOs is level grinding and not simply the scale of the persistant server sizeThis is why MMOs are so dogshit now, because you grindfags continue to eat shit for pixels that look worse than the cash shop jank these korean fuckfests shit onto your plate
This is a bit of a niche genre, so maybe there are some other similar games out there that I haven't heard of yet.Of the ones I know that exist are Tremulous (finally lost its 24/7 population back in 2019 and finally losing its 7 day/week population only in 2022), Natural Selection (HL mod), Natural Selection 2 (standalone), Gloom (Quake 2 mod, available on Quake 2 RTX) and their derrivative community projects (e.g. Darkness, based on Gloom but for Source Engine, or Unvanquished, based on Tremulous for WolfET derived engine).Other "similar" gameplay games include L4D/L4D2 and Evolve, but they're not RTS and there's no base building/planning and so on.
Allegiance? It's a space game tho
>>815159there's also a map that builds all the tech and shit for you, like xr_pvp or someshit
Command and Conquer Renegade. Try the W3DHub mods.
>>809392I loved this game so fucking much. I remember being such nasty basilisk player.
I really enjoyed Empires Source, Zombie Master, and Savage 2. There was a leak that Valve has been working on one themselves called Half-Life: Citadel, but not much official released for that. I hope it pans out, it’s a really underrated genre
they dont feel the same to play casually or competitively because of matchmaking, and the average IQ of people who play them seem to have just fallen off a cliff making every game a battle of the least retarded
>im tired of brainlessly pointing and clicking at the enemyGood for you anon. Now that you finally matured, how about you start playing one of those social deduction games? I heard that they're a lot more fulfilling to play nowadays.
>>812824Sounds like you're just burnt out over the selection of games you're currently playing,that's fine, you can either play some other genres (preferably not multiplayer just 'cause) or you can try a different pool of fps games.Or just a gaming break in general.
>>812824Same, I mostly enjoy either paradox games or factory sim games these days.
>>812824My issue with FPS games is they haven't had interesting guns for a very long time.Look at Turok with the cerebral bore which I remember years later.Or UT where you can combine alternate fire from weapons to devastate your enemy with trick shots.It's all just run and shoot, machine gun or single shot nonsense that's uninspired. I couldn't ever get into apex or valorant for that reason alone. Granted, valorant is like CSGO but that was never fun to me either.
>>812824I’ve been really enjoying Jabroni Brawl Episode 3. First FPS I’ve enjoyed in a long time but I was a Half-Life kid
Are multiplayer games a good place to meet women? Which pc game has the biggest female player base?
>>732135ESO on PS4 EU>whyMy gf plays it, she's in a guild with 40 other females>muh tranniesThey're so stupid that they link their social media profiles in their PS profiles...Not only that but they're usually quite vocal to prove they're not tranniesIt's a dead game and boring as fuck, but it's full of girls.
>>790612Internet cafes. A meagre amount of pocket money will let you play at an internet cafe most afternoons, whereas saving that money for a shit computer and a game on Steam would take years.
>>732135nothey always have a fucking boyfriend and he's always the fucking guild masterjust like in fucking real life
>>733432Based
>>792870That probably won't work for someone in his 30's. Also how did you actually meet your GF? I get that you met her in VRChat from some circle of friends but you're skipping some steps.
>new origin drops>it's even worse than the old one

>>817617Part 2 is such a fucking slog. They should really nerf it.
>Need around 1000 Rigomor runs to fill the whole book
>>817476I have a guild specifically run just by a friend so it doesn't really matter regardless
>>817634I just leave them at third job, save for the core ones (pola, asd, adap, etc.).

I think hell froze over. The new kartrider game has no pay to win elements whatsoever.
>>816248But muh rank
>>816257it's not that kind of rank silly
>>816263Oh
>got robbed of my 1st into 3rd because it lagged for the last 5 seconds and didn't give me two whole nitrosIs there a lag filter for matchmaking?
>>817406yeah actually in the options. I didn't even know that it was possible to lag using items though.
Anyone wanna play Dota 2 with a semi new player ~150 hours. Tired of playing alone and none of my friends want to try it, I mostly play 4 and 5
>>803646Tell that to these losers who would rather see their game die out than allow for reasonable changes to be made
>>811305yep been playing it recently and the way they've patched this game is quite insane. like taking everything people hate about the game and making as much worse as they can.
>>794682Most of your shit is sound, except your 'exploit' arguement, denying exists in WC3's metagame where denying your unit gives reduced exp, it is in fact a featureThe reality is that the 'new meta' hot garbage that is esports mentality is what ruined the experience. League of Legends is dogshit because this is how they design their game to make it 'fresh and interesting' to watch, and DOTA fell into the same trap, no longer are the days of Icefrog doing micro changes and maybe 1 or 2 ability reworks so they work/scale better, now we get entire hero reworks that ruins the entire concept of the character (RIP Techies) and the current map is so fucking dogshit, when the original DOTA map was fucking perfectIf you want to fix DOTA, go back to 2013 balance, reintroduce the new heroes with toned down kits, make sure shit like abyssal blade or the spellpower items never exist againFunny enough there is a dota 2 classic custom game now and its growing in popularity, because again, nu-dota 2 is dogshit
>>815572my problem with the game is; many hero concepts in DOTA are trash. you have far fewer abilities in this game than say WoW and then when their abilities are also nobrainers to use it's just a brainless slog to play, "balancing" them is like a surefire way to ruin the game completely. there is still a skill-element of understanding the game or whatever but noobs don't understand that this is only about knowing when you can pick them and nobody really enjoys draft-wins.
>>816830I get you, but we used to have a balance for this in a metagame.The 'draft win' meta started happening when they focused on esports more than regular play.Before there were three distinct parts of a game, early game, mid game, and late game, the problem with nu-DOTA is that there is no mid game, and early game is insanely short, carries come online too quickly and resources are practically free so instead of having an in depth econ you just have the inevitable 30 minute carry overload that is modern DOTA and it sucks assAnd trying to make it more WOW like, I.E. forced balance, or league of legends like, where you force every hero to be 50% which simply doesn't work or make games fun, won't do anything in the long run.The fact that push heroes, map control, junglers, ect, all hero designs that were made obsolete in favor of esports watchability is fucking sad, if people wanted unga bunga laning league already existed.
OPPW4anyone hop on do some levels faggots
hop on the treasure log boys
If i owned the game, i would play with you alas i dont have the money to spend on a new game right nowbut one piece is one of my favourite animeskinda wish they would drop a game where you can make your own pirate and go on an adventure
I see a lot of mmo threads on hereHas anyone ever tried Latale?I play it because I think my character is cool and cute and the OST is nicecomfy game if you ask me
>>800080i think it did change devsit is on steam now
>>801965>Also the OST in this game had no right being as good as it was.THATS WHA THE FUCK I AM TALKING ABOUTTHIS OST IS GOATED top of my list for mmo OSTs next to mabinogi
>>801965>>804084La Tale's OST was pretty fucking good and only got better over time. Hell, one of the best tracks plays during a brief segment in the optional tutorial and nowhere else.
>>799454Why the fuck are you playing an MMO then?
>>813400because i like the gameplay and enjoy the stories and artstylesbut another thing in a lot of MMOs is that a lot of the time, people are either afk, or they are already in their own cliques
what the fuck
season 8 premierhttps://event.playeternalreturn.com/season8-pajamas does anyone still care about the game there is nowhere else to talk about it except the discord and steam
>>811024Devs outlined the changes in their dev logs YT video if you're interested. The changes are pretty much continuing to move the game from hard-core solo "survival" to more simplified, straightforward forward team brawler. It will probably retain more players with that format but time will tell if it's enough to survive
>>811024I forgot this is still early access. They should try to promote the game.
this patch is ???my winrate in cobalt took a nose dive wtf is going on
>>812278man why you playing cobalt play ranked
why does this game have so many damn vtubers
