Even just co-op with ONE friend would be amazing. Two Arisen, Two Main Pawns. For anyone that would cry about balance, I really don't care when it comes to a co-op game.

[@curttron]

Honestly that is all I ask for in a game like this. 2 Player co-op without losing the core gameplay. Unfortunate people seem to lean toward extremes

[@rabitof5248]

what about the 2nd player just being the main pawn?

There is currently a private server that allows you to play DDO. You have do quite a bit to set it up though. It's not fully functional but it's enough to be able to explore, fight monsters, and give you a overall feel of the game. It's actively being worked/updated on now and has made large strides.

DDO was my very first Open World MMORPG in medieval fantasy genre. It was one of the best time i had in my gaming history. Knew about it through a youtube ad. The map was so vast with so many lands, every place has its unique atmosphere. Gotta love the forests with many big trees, rivers, bridges, fireflies, the sounds and bgms were very relaxing, the Inn was cozy as well. Though there was many goblins and wolves especially at night. The most rememberable encounters i had in these forests were with lizards that guarded in front of an abandon sewer's entrance. And an Ent the Giant Tree boss inside a cave, it guarded the entrance as well. What i also found it really cool was the concept of dungeon inside a dungeon, there were some places called Catacomb and when you reached to the end of it which you thought you had already explored the whole place but there was another door in some of these catacombs that leaded to an even deeper floor. It gave off a sense that you're heading to the unknown and dangerous place, not to mention the place's atmosphere also shifted to something that made you stayed high alerted and extra careful the whole time compared to the upper floor. It was really well done thanks to the one who executed this idea. Aside from those points that i liked. Some lands and mission quests had a really wtf kind of terrains and paths, destination guide such as arrow wasn't a thing in DDO and it had caused me so much pain to figured out, it even came to the point that it forced me to jump down a lot to the verge of dying. It was really annoying. Grinding for high quality ranked equipments from the start as a f2p was very tough as well. I remember a mission quest that we had to fight a skinny black dragon and I ended up getting 1 tapped from a household shadow wolf that the dragon summoned most of the time. Then a lot of other players had to revive you, it took like 5 secs for you to get revived which could cause other troubles. Situation of teammates ended up dying just to revive you happened a lot. 5 secs were very long on a constant and chaotic battle, dying like 4~6 times already made you felt like a burden for the team. The battle was fun i tell you that, but it was definitely not cool either.

[@deadjoey6042]

Wow this paints such a cool picture of the game, thanks for sharing!

[@ryo6947]

@@deadjoey6042 Just like other MMORPG, if you could charge for Gold Gemstone which is the needed in-game currency for Gacha it'd be a lot easier for you to get Gacha exclusive high quality ranked equipments. Even if it was pure RNG it was still far easier compared to the tention and shjt that you had to go through to get crafted ones from the Crafting System. There was Bazaar in the city and some villages which was the only place you could make money from other players, you were allowed to sell but items and crafting materials only so pretty much the material i made the most money from was Amethyst Gemstone. The best spot to search for Amethysts was located inside a wrecked ship on a sea coast, usually you can only find 1 inside a silver chest but on good day you could find around 2 or 3 of them. They worth around 27~30k Gold each, so i usually save them up to 20 which was the limited amount a gem stack can hold. It didn't require any combats but the amount of running back and forth between the Inn which is the spawn reset on the Sea Coast map to that wrecked ship made me feel sorry for my character's legs. It took around 12 minutes per lap, back and forth so it was pretty much just getting inside the Inn then came out and ran to the wrecked ship then return and repeat. I kinda wished they placed the teleport spot near the ship but realized it'd only make sense if they placed it near the Inn. The reason why you needed money was because buying crafting materials from other players could save you a lot of time doing quests, especially those tough ones that drained a lot of your energy. So you could just buy from the Bazaar and then went straight to the lab and crafted equipments. The baazar also required reservation fee so you had to pay them in order to get a slot for selling your stuffs, which is reasonable i guess lol.

So fun fact the MMO cost of this would be minor, the server was only used in the hub area as someone who played the game, there would be lag there... BUT once you get to fighting zones it was hosted locally and the server just checked for loot/and your game data/memory so you couldn't cheat

[@akun50]

I feel at least some of the reason why some games don't come overseas is the cultural differences. I mean, look at the vitriol that spills whenever a game gets censored or has its story changed to "fit Western Ideals". If you never intend to port it, you'd never have to make those changes. Another possibility is that if the stand alone game didn't see enough sales or praise, there's even less incentive to pursue a port of an MMO spinoff. Yet another could be the trouble with translation. Some games NEVER properly translate stuff, as seen in games like the original Maple Story, which IIRC, had quests _in the starting area_ that were bugged because the items needed to complete it were mistranslated and, since it was never corrected, the quests could _never be completed_.

[@Seraphyx]

This was probably one of the best dragons dogma experiences ever because it focused on the most fun parts of the game, the combat. DD was what I played on PC for a long time because MH was not available then, only on portable consoles for the most part (3ds, psp)

[@Fractured676]

Also I'd kill for a monhun Dragons Dogma game. Adding magic and such to the Monhun formula just sounds so fun for me.

[@Flyingmonkeysftw27]

I struggled through this whole video. The guy saying “arisen” wrong made hurt to hear. Just tells me he’s making the video because DD2 has some massive hype around it, and not because they’re interested in the topic. You listen to any clip from the game and it’s always said the same way. But get that bag, it is what it is.

[@namelessanomaly3946]

A lot of people are complaining about the enemy variety in Dragon's Dogma 2, me being one of them as I feel it's worse than the MTX, and performance issues. DDO had so much content and they used NONE of it when making DD2.

[@JMPERager]

Just the was Dragon's Dogma plays, and the fact that we have the kind of MMOs like New World where you don't just target an enemy and spam attacks, it'd be a PERFECT MMO in my opinion. Like, it'd be the best combat system of any of those MMOs. I really hope they decide to turn DD2 into an actual MMO (as a separate title of course).

[@krumdark]

Honestly this is the only feature missing from Dragon’s Dogma that would make it feel complete for me

[@themostbestwizard]

Live-service games dying isn't an issue of if but when. That's why I refuse to get invested in Helldivers 2. If it isn't playable offline, it's only a matter of time til it becomes no more than unplayable junk data.

[@Nurptog]

I think the biggest reason for no co-op in DD2 is that Capcom doesn’t believe there should be more than one Arisen at a time due to lore reasons, outside of also programming and figuring out progression for the other person that joins I think that it would be a lot more viable that you’re able to create a secondary pawn for multiplayer instances that can be summoned exclusively for online play, and that can be leveled and gain experience just like your main pawn, and that can be hired by other players the same way that main pawns work as they do now Since there are seemingly endless variations of pawns and an uncountable amount of them, these would be the least immersion breaking method lore wise, and also make handling progression a lot simpler than managing two Arisen characters in one game world

[@steamfeuver]

Also just that the first game didn't have coop, the expectation isn't there for the game to have coop, the first game was successful despite the online component, and the game devs for DD prefer doing cool AI shit with pawns and async multiplayer than full on coop. Not every game needs a multiplayer or even a coop component, and especially in Japan, the culture has already shown a preference to have as LITTLE to do with other players as possible, at least when it comes to core experience of the game.

[@gon720]

Are we around that is allowing another character to play has their own pawn instead of another arisen when you join someone else's game

[@Nurptog]

@@gon720 I thought that at first, but then I tried to think about it from a developer’s point of view in how that could be potentially game breaking when returning to your world Say you join someone who has progressed to the end game, and can essentially power level your main pawn or give them some crazy strong gear that, when returning to your single player game, could be used to cheese the game from having some overpowered pawn, and take out any of the challenge that the developers want players to experience Having a playable secondary pawn for multiplayer instances only would have it entirely disconnected from your own game world, and would even be a secondary form of progression that likely would be customizable in the rift as you level them and wait between summons to other player worlds I suppose it essentially would turn the pawn rift into a type of multiplayer hub that not only would create a social element, but do so while still maintaining the choice of having the Japanese preferred “shorter term asymmetric” instances, or for players that want to stay for longer sessions (like playing with friends), also having the option to do so

[@TheBigHugh]

There are multiple arisen present at the same time in DD1. you, king Edmund dragonsbane, and the old man on the hillfigure knoll. From the primary player's world perspective, the second player is nothing more than a companion to the arisen, meanwhile the second player is just that, a companion with their own pawn/companion.

[@AGleeBustHard69]

Sadly it existed Dragon's Dogma 2 with friends on DDO and there is a revival project for it made by the fans so I hope they eventually complete it and release it. Also DDO had a lock on system but it's more like DMC or Genshin where even though you get a lock on icon it's closer to a soft lock on where it locks your camera to the target but still let you combo and miss just because you were positioned far or just was not facing the correct direction character wise although it is so much more easier to attack and charge at targets and hit specific parts while locked on.

[@M4Dbrat]

The lock-on system in console games is a standard since Ocarina of Time, the point is to compensate for shittiness of controllers at 3D camera management. The tab target system in MMOs is to compensate for shittiness of server technology, because you can't calculate collision physics for thousands of players and AI enemies at the same time while also resolving conflicts that come from network latency

[@alibutterfly82]

Oh god... it's the video with the "ah-RYZEN" pronunciation. I watched this on my own a few weeks ago and died of cringe and have since been resurrected. I now will die of cringe again. Arisen is said so many times in the game. It's literally how most of the characters in the game address your character. It's also a real word. I don't get it.

Asmon always shits on ESO not being a massive game. That game is wildly successful. Blizzard stopped sharing player counts in WoW as it was declining and numbers from FFIV and ESO started climbing over it. I dont know if steam charts are the only thing he uses to do comparisons, but ESO has the majority of its player based on its dedicated client. Definiately one of the most played current MMOs.

[@savokgear]

Dragon's Dogma Online is my favorite game in the world. And although it was ruined by poor progression design, this game had an ideal combat system. There is not one game similar to it.

[@spiritwyrmk8622]

Its funny how people say Dragon's dogma 2 doesn't need CoOp... like if someone plays with a friend it'll affect those who play alone. Were not talking MMO, no PvP.... just literally being able to play with friends and explore the world together. Dragon's dogma 2 will be an amazing game, but it would've been even more if it was CoOp.

[@grandeve7531]

Happy I got to experience this when it was current and made it to end game but it was a very a journey instead of destination game while the end game was fun with extreme missions and stuff ranking areas and grinding levels really took most of my time and to the point where I even paid for a subscription to keep convenience the same with monster hunter frontier. Even if some of the intricacies like armor on everything where kind of annoying systems I never regretted playing it especially with my friends. Hope they do something similar with Dragon's dogma again one day, without the requirement for a VPN and a some weird japanese online bank account to transfer online bought card shop money too and loophole your way into the game. Also DDO wasn't subscription based it was subscribe for convenience.

What if your pawns could be other arisens characters that are ai controlled till they log in and take control and making things inaccessible like armor and consumables untill the player logs on so that the ai can’t loose your items while your away honestly they need to do a game like sword art online the anime where there are levels that players start in and they have to find and defeated a boss to move up to the next level biome where they can make guilds or solo depending on what the players want

I played the game, but I didn't enjoy the lobby system. I wanted to see players out in the world. I was hoping for a system where you have just your main pawn, go out into the world, meet other people dynamically that also have just one pawn, and you could choose to work together. With Japanese people, it's really hard to find someone to party with in something like a lobby because they almost always are already playing with other real life friends. Most people are just very cold as well. Also, in the beginning, there weren't many classes. So, I just thought, why would I play this game if Dark Arisen is just better, especially since it's hard to find people to party with anyway, so I quit

[@SoulSojourner]

I'm definitely not the common market. I am the opposite of the common sentiment from what I've seen. I hate games going "online" or turning multiplayer. I much prefer my single player experience. There are exceptions to this, but generally speaking, multiplayer focus/addition ruins games for me. I've always felt that way. R.I.P. classic Warcraft. :) That said, I like some multiplayer games/functionality, mostly when it provides a LOCAL experience. There are exceptions to this though, Path of Exile and Diablo for example. As well as games that are a primarily a single player experience, and allow multiplayer experience controlled by players, such as classic Neverwinter Nights. Typically speaking though, I have no problem with MMO's and multiplayer in general, it's just when a single player series disappears or gets ruined because of it that I get irked.

DDO was the absolute GOAT! I played it for a lot of its run time. I believe the reason for its end of service had to do with capcom pushing monster hunter. Very unfortunate.

[@reagenlionel]

It was because they shut down their capcom online games service. Which affected all their concurrent online only games. Which the original video failed to mention as well as other information.

[@omidog06]

Bruh i never even got to fully enjoy the alchemist class

[@thatonepenguinperson618]

​@@omidog06It makes me so sad we didn't get the alchemist in DD2.…. There's nothing that gives me more dopamine than using catapults and shotguns... And then detonating explosions after all that set up... There's just NOTHING like it and I feel empty ._.

[@hua..]

The fact they even kept the game running for so long despite the fact they were having their asses being handed to them by FFXIV and especially PSO2 was remarkable, they ended up just shutting down their online games service simply because it wasn't worth keeping it up. Also, in hindsight, pushing monster hunter was clearly the right move

[@brojakmate9872]

Sorry to tell you this but Capcom shut down not one but TWO Monster Hunter MMO (Online and Frontier)

Capcom also had Monster Hunter Online in Japan that was very successful like DDO…but they killed that off as well 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@lucasvallet4487]

That was monster Hunter frontier. Monster Hunter Online was a chinese game made in collaboration with tencent iirc. Both are dead today. MHO shut down because of dispute between tencent and capcom, MHF shut down after 12 years because the playerbase had become low and capcom decided to shut down the division in charge of MHF and Dragon Dogma Online

[@callibor3119]

I hope modders can bring that game back to life and then bring it over to the west. We need that game on PC servers and for more modders to expand upon the game. That game is too good for it not be played across the globe.

[@namelessanomaly3946]

There is a private server for it

[@OilFreeFeathers]

Considering Capcom takes ESG loans these days, they already couldn't afford to support a dying game like DDO.

[@zanychelly]

Coop Dragons Dogma 2 would be so cool… it doesn’t need MMO, I think of it being like Elden Ring/Souls.

Disagree. Let singleplayer games focus on the singleplayer experience

[@Grynfelt]

True, the foundation is there with the party system but they just don't seem to want to do it for some reason, I hope more people are vocal about it and maybe they could implement it as a DLC later on...

[@DietersYT]

@@Aggrofool what’s wrong with co-op being an option if encounters scale accordingly?

[@Grynfelt]

@@Aggrofool You absolutely have no idea what you're talking about, the fact that you don't have anyone to play the game co-op doesn't mean everyone shouldn't. A single player game like this could be played single player or co-op without anything about the single player experience being changed. The worst take I've seen on the internet possible right here. Baldur's Gate 3 has co-op and the single player experience wasn't diminished whatsoever, actually even more enriched due to the replayability the co-op aspect brought to the table. Stop thinking in 1 dimension with no basic understanding of game basics.

[@NewsofPE]

how about no

[@omegacloud222]

It's so depressing. PSO was so revolutionary and paved the way that games like Monster Hunter are played with their lobby system. With NGS they moved to "open world" and its one of the most egregious changes to a long standing franchise (along with a lot of other smaller things) that alone nearly killed its entire identity so its fucking hilarious that games like Monster Hunter and Relink do exactly what NGS moved away from and are finding infinitely more success.

[@keterclassentity6716]

japanese devs are too small minded to realize that releasing outside of japan WILL bring more sales

[@nocturne3455]

It doesn't even make sense NOT to in any way. You already made the game, 90% of the work is done. All you have to do is localize language, distribute, and do some marketing. That 10% extra effort could bring incalculable profit seeing as the rest of the world has 65x more people than Japan itself.

[@marksmanmerc1]

Hopefully they stay close minded. The last thing I want is for them to start emulating western game design trying to appeal to us.

[@Gorgrs]

​@@marksmanmerc1they do not need to make the game appeal to us, we are asking for theyre games to be released here so we can play them as they are in the original servers. Trying to change a bunch of things (like blue protocol is doing i think) only divides the multiplayer experience. But some game devs do not understand that idk why.

[@herpiegerbstick6808]

​@@Gorgrsyah except when you get it after playing for 5 hours, you head to their forums and start posting about what needs fixed, nerfed, and buffed. Maybe the Japanese game devs don't want to deal with diaper baby Western gamers...

[@adhitiaridwanulloh5114]

I hope the Dragon Dogma 2 dev still hides some classes for the full version, I mean there are some cool classes in DDO to include in DD2, such as Alchemist, Scimitar, and Seeker AOT Skil.

[@Sevren_]

Please give me Alchemist

[@toodleselnoodos6738]

About the co-op thing and players vs. pawns, pawns were your crafting system. You had to collect materials and then select the number of your pawns to work on it. You could have up to 3 different projects. Which is where Renting Pawns and Arisen-co-op comes in. If you wanted to play with other people - you could. If your friends weren’t on AND your Main Pawns were busy crafting, and you needed more pawns - YOU COULD. This is why 3 Main Pawns, Rental Pawns, and Arisen Co-Op worked beautifully. Unlike DD1, you had an EXPANDED list of commands for your pawns. You could command them to target weak enemies, strong enemies, aerial enemies, heal you, support you, buff you, back away, etc.. Later on, they gained Dragon Powers allowing them to trigger random effects. Additionally, they could play ALL vocations too - Tank, DPS, Support. DDO was a super fun game to play and it was a shame that it got pulled. We never got the lands of the Water Dragon and the Black Dragon.

[@chrislad24]

has the same combat but different systems to Dragon's Dogma you have to work with the other classes you can't solo not as a tank or not as a support. the DPS are bit bit tanky not really but kind of. but the important thing is the abilities that both of those other classes supply so you can break big enemies stamina essentially and when you do that they become again considerable amount easier to damage and take more damage and the only way to affectively do that when not massively over levelled compared to the enemy is to have the right damage affinity on your weapon which you need a tank to do and to have their weak point to revealed which you need to support to do. all classes can do damage of course but not like the dps, the dps could take a hit but not like the tanks, and the support can take agro but you don't want them to, and also the tanks are gods at agro and survivability if you have the skill you can level 1 solo bosses as the Shield Sage but god damn is it going to take long, and you will be 1 shot at any time, but your block will block all damage
