@@BrutalFelix82 So basically you're saying its a community issue despite coming to the opposite conclusion... Let me explain myself. Players don't need WoW social aspect today like they needed it back in 2004 when they weren't connected to anyone easily outside of the game structure. I remember playing only writing in game chat with my friends back in 2006. Now, who would do that in 2024 ? I remember spending in-game time just to chat with guild mates. Or randoms along my adventures. Because players are "more socials and connected than ever", you're not really needing that aspect in your game. Not the way you used to anyway. You're overly solicited outside of thegame. Be it on a social level (discord or social network) or just by the mere fact you got hundred's of new games you can potentially play every week. So as far as i'm concerned, social aspect of mmo's are less and less important to the vast majority of consumers. Gamers evolved. Games evolved. And that endless hunt to reconnect to the "social aspect of mmo's" is truly just a mirage. A mirage that tends to make us say "it's a game issue". When its just a "us" issue. If it's an issue at all : for me it just isn't. We don't play in arcades with pocket money anymore cause you can easily buy a console or pc. We don't "socialize" in games as we used to because we have dozens of other means to do it outside of mmo's. Life goes on.

I do remember this Dev. He is personally responsible for the MMR based matchmaking system in StarCraft, League of Legends, Hots, wow arena, and really every other blizzard and Riot game with matchmaking. It was a horrible system at blizzard, he then leveraged that he created it to bring it to Riot and ruined matchmaking there. He is a prime example of how people have failed upward in the development world by creating systems that don't work then leveraging a really good bullet point on a resume that gaslights the next company into hiring him and then ruining their project. If this new project is good, awesome, i am a gamer and love to play good games. The issue is that he has been personally responsible for many of the "bad" systems in todays matchmaking games and beyond. I can appreciate that people like to feel that Devs communicate with them, i am just at the point where i am results based and not into the cult of personalities. Also the absolute ego of doing a photo shoot with your team sitting in gold thrones in a cathedral like background tells me this project is about personal ego and not about creating a good game. I will be happily surprised and wrong if this project goes well.

@@yashA.456 Hidden MMR matchmaking, although in starcraft i don't believe the MMR isn't hidden and instead displayed. I think they started hiding it because people hate the system, it works much better in starcraft when you are 1 v 1. In games where you have a team the personal MMR is averaged among all the team players which is taken into account for the game. This means that you can have, and often do, one player with a very large MMR and then four other players with very low MMR creating a situation where the one player has to play 6x times better than any other team mate in order to win the game. The game says it is a balanced match because the total MMR between all players on both sides is equal but the individual skill is not. But, i am not a Dev, i just know Ghost Crawler is personally responsible for creating the system and was what got him hired at riot. He is the godfather of the MMR system.

A lot of people's problem with Greg Street at the time came from the overall fact that WoW was becoming more and more hardcore. I very much doubt Greg had a hand in starting that vision but he definitely perpetrated it. There is also the normal animosity from specific specs not liking how they are being balanced. Even if he had nothing to do with it. He became the face of the game at the time. So he was blamed for a wide range of things that wasn't really his fault. It didn't help that he was already working on a controversial expansion just from the jump. In retrospect, most people highly praise him for all the best parts of MoP and he is largely the reason why people look on MoP fondly now. People also really liked how open he was about changes and direction. Which is very similar to how the current SoD devs. They aren't perfect and people might not like what they are doing but at least they are honest about it. Only downside is they really need to let the guy just talk on the forums lol. It's very odd to hear about class balance changes from someone's twitter replies.

As nice as it is to socialize, there's better places for such an activity. Personally I don't play games to talk about matters not related to the game in question. Not too fussed about MMOs. In the past I've had mixed experience with them. My two worst experience with them being locked out of content because I couldn't be part of a group big enough, or skilled enough to accomplish that, or being locked out of content because I never get the gear that would make it possible to even parttake in such content. Some incredibley dumb features include time gated events so my personal life had to revolve around the game's timing schedule, inability to co-op all content, excessive grinding same content for gear, wild changes to classes, and forced PvP. With the given thing that companies love to do, I think it's smarter to wait and see what others have to say, and show about the game. At most, drop it onto my watch list, and come back to it a few months after it's been fully released. 6:29 WoW never felt cohesive to me. geologically speaking it made no sense as to how each zone was a different weathered/temperature biome. It was very much unnatural.

Back when Ghostcrawler "left" Riot I had the strong feeling after reading about it he didn't really leave for personal reasons as he said, it was more a case Riot allowed him to leave on his own terms to save face since his vision for the Riot MMO was just the same old MMO with a Riot coat of paint. Basically WoW in Runeterra. Greg may have been ok at his job with Blizzard, although I disagree with Force a little about him being well liked by the community (he was very divisive), but that doesn't mean a systems designer can be lead dev for an entire MMO. I think Riot felt he wasn't the right guy and, love em or hate em, Riot doesn't do things half-ass or lazily. They want to push the genre forward and really make a splash like WoW did in 2004 and they DO NOT want to rehash MMO tropes. They want to innovate and that's why they let him leave instead of straight up firing him. Basically I'll keep an open mind about this MMO but the Netease association gives me pause and Greg's history as well. Also "bringing back the social aspects of MMOs" has been a common refrain by the older generation of devs and gamers, of which I am one, but those days I think are gone. It's not 1999 or even 2004 anymore where being online and chatting to people in a game isn't a novel thing anymore. I think you should try to add as much natural and organic player interaction without trying to cling to things that worked 20 yrs ago.

I think I might just be done chasing the dragon, man. No MMO has ever recreated that original experience I had with vanilla WoW/TBC. What I've discovered in my years is that there's only one game in any specific genre that blows my mind and then nothing ever comes close ever again. I end up spiraling, trying every game in said genre only for nothing to ever hit the same. Ever. Ocarina of Time was that game for Action-Adventure. WoW was that game for MMO's. Halo CE was that game for FPS games. The Last of Us was that game for narrative based survival-horror. RUST was that game for survival-crafting.

I would spend upwards of 8 or more hours a day "playing" the game where as a chunk of that playing time was standing around in chat saying things like, "Lfm Healer" Or Lfg dps" waiting until it was full and then hoping, praying it goes smoothly and we don't wipe endlessly.

The problem is that with modern MMO's you don't really need other players the same way and servers are so large that people are pretty much anonymous. In old MMO's you basically got to know most of the active player base, because the servers weren't massive. This means that if you get known as an asshat, you can kiss that character goodbye, because you will not be allowed into any groups with people who know you are indeed an asshat.

I love action combat the most simply because I enjoy aiming directly at a target or even having to lead the target to hit them.. I just like the fact that it builds your skills further in aiming. With tab and soft lock, you literally just aim in the direction and click which person is boring to me but I can still do hybrid soft lock like guild wars 2, even though I would absolutely prefer if they had an action mode and a tab mode instead of hybrid.. it would give an advantage to people who use tab or soft lock targeting cause they always hit.. that in itself is the problem to me because it takes no skill to actually hit something or someone. Also they rarely have dodge mechanics and even if they don't actually hit you you still take damage as if they did up close. I think that's ridiculous but if it's all I've got to work with like guild wars 2 then I will, but action is more fun in my opinion and yes it takes more skill but that's what makes it more fun to me. The personal opinion and I know others don't agree with it, but that's okay because to each their own. I'll still probably play it either way lol..

In fact, WoW SOD phase 3 nightmare incursions help prove the problem. People have literally just put some of the 18 quests in the trash category and selected only the quests that require no work and no combat to then run a continuous XP/gold circuit as a speed level that is reducing lvl 40 to lvl 50 to mere hours. Here is the current reality of the MMO genre (and maybe it was a foreseeable inevitability): players and the culture they create are the biggest problem, because they create a culture that incentivizes shit like trying to be the best at playing the game BY NOT PLAYING THE GAME. And let me hammer it home this way: for someone who plays a healer all the time like myself, imagine how trivialized and worthless playing the game feels when what is meant to be group content can be reduced to solo sprints that require no holy trinity or group play whatsoever....after all those hours of trying to build that healer etc.

MMORPG fan eventually realizes they are now geriatric and the last good MMORPG releases were still WoW and FFXIV decades ago. Every other game never materialized.

Triple AAA isn't the endorsement it should be: these days it usually just means investors/corporate micro management and rushing.

I wish games would just release when they're fully developed with no leaks. Pretty much just how Apex did it.

I would love an MMO with a much larger focus on open world content and less instanced stuff to queue for.

I feel like there are no more new MMO players. They dont appeal to young people. MMOs as a genre largely just trade the player base betwixt themselves. Tab targeting + hot keys just doesnt have mass market appeal

@kreenbopulusmichael72058 ай бұрын
yeah, I think an MMO that appeals to the youth and new audiences is possible, it just doesnt exist yet sadly
@overlord19958 ай бұрын
Who says an MMO ha to have tab targetting and hotkeys? I for one see huge potential in games like Palworld. They've only scratched the surface. They need much more in terms of building and survival, variety of Pals, weapons, armors, items, etc. They need bigger world and more biome diversity and an endgame.

@@kreenbopulusmichael7205It would have to be FPS/Hybrid maybe even FPS survival IMO. Less button mashing more skill based and intuitive, basically plays and feels like a top notch single player game but isn't, although obviously the "story" and character building would take a backseat in some way. Mix Rust with Metro Exodus (gameplay wise) and give it some rulesets of OG MMOs like Ultima Online with persistent ecosystem, player run economy with player owned vendors and housing. A long list of useful/necessary/fun skills you can train up from 0 to 100 with a maximum total skill level per char. Give it opt in or at least medium risk high reward PVP with player hub areas being safe zones. Decent amount of end game content such as raid bosses, skill based/skill locked looting and farming for rare items. A laundry list of viable and fun places to farm currency and item drops off mobs, with varying levels of risk vs reward such as horde events, etc If an MMO like that came out today I'd play, even if the graphics weren't "woah raytracing and super-shaders!" If it looked like a game from 2014 I'd be fine as long as it had great gameplay and movement/animations/combat felt nice. Idk just my thoughts.

@@overlord1995Some people define MMOs by the number of simultaneous players per zone - the more the better. Many MMOs do tons of sharding and instancing though and deliberately cull the numbers of players by a large margin even if they could theoretically allow more players. That tends to declassify some games as MMOs if you go by the definitions of some people. There also is a limit to how well gameplay can be designed. Generally speaking, the more players the shallower or more chaotic stuff gets. If you've ever done some world bosses or meta events in Guild Wars 2 you'll know what I mean. Excessive, semi-limitless player numbers per zone essentially only works in all-out PvP warfare MMOs. Everywhere else, in the entire PvE spectrum, that wish of some genre enthusiasts for a bazillion players in one spot is a silly, detrimental, wet fantasy that doesn't do the complexity of things justice. People aren't always very strict with these loose and vague definitions. See how angry people were at The Day Before allegedly not being an MMO despite technically working very much like many other MMOs. (= Social hubs with many players and then open world zones with the potential of running into a limited number of randoms - that's basically every MMO in a nutshell.) Even if you put basic gameplay implications aside: As long as some people or devs themselves might be using potatoe servers, rigs and Internet connections it will remain difficult to have real-time, accurately displayed and executed aiming and combat without large amounts of sharding and instancing. This is a kind of reality that a lot of MMO gamers both of old and new seem to be unaware of. I get it to a point still, I used to had lots of hopes and wishes for this genre too. But I eventually realized its inherent limitations. If more people did the same they probably wouldn't get constantly disappointed by every new MMO that releases. People need to adjust their expectations to a more realistic level.

I find "new triple A MMO" and "recently found studio" kind of funny
@akiotatsuki26218 ай бұрын
I can only say that they need to have a huge focus on Lore and make sure the gameplay is solid
@MythicMagus8 ай бұрын
Hmmm...yeah I'll get interested when people outside the studio get their hands on it. I just find it hard to get excited about "yet another MMO release" these days because so many of them just get delayed until the end of time or just canceled. Blue Protocol has taken SO long to come out I dunno if I even care about it anymore tbh. Rather just wait for more Granblue Fantasy Relink content.

Holy crap, it's good to know he's still kicking around! Yeah I'm definitely one of the 'collaborate out in open world' gang too. I have too much on my plate to deal with guild politics and trying to run organised raids these days... Way, WAY too busy for that nonsense. I've been burned by too many guilds, I'm just not interested. I LOVE running with randoms, or cool people I've bumped into in random map events for a finder style dungeon though. FFXIV did the social aspect well - especially with the situational companions if you *can't* find someone to run with.
