MMORPG Content Struggles - Failed First Impressions

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Head to keeps.com/thel... to learn more and get 50% off your first order of hair loss treatment.
Over the years I've covered a lot of games on my channel, but what you guys haven't seen are all of the cancelled videos, the games that I've tried to cover but they're either not ready, completely broken or they drain my willpower so quickly that I think the video would be too boring to release, My editor thought it'd be fun to make a video combining 6 games that've abandoned making videos about over just the past month for various different reasons.
What do you think about some of the games I tried in this video? do you think it was a good idea I cancelled making videos about them, do you think these games will improve in the future? let me know in the comments below!

I don't think he cancels videos on BAD games. He cancels videos based on whether it's possible or not to make a fun video. If a game is hilariously bad (and there are quite a few ones in this channel), he still makes very fun videos about them. Some games are just so boring you just can't make content on top of them.

Devs always fail to realise gamers leave games for the tiniest of reasons. I leave MMOs if they have too many exclusive mounts that cant be obtained anymore. I left Mortal online because the keybinds where shit. You might make a great game, but if you fuck over the small details you'll lose thousands of players.

[@leshie687]

I think I stopped playing some mmos because they are confusing, or feels a bit tedious. Ironically I feel TERA, lotRO and BDO _confusing_ while keep playing GW2 that has nearly _no tutorial_ at all.

Very true. I instantly stop playing mmos with bad character customization, clunky combat, forced questing to progress, or generally boring and empty areas. Although bdo caters to my wishes most cause its open world sandbox where I am free to do what I like.

[@DrakoLLC]

Getting started in Wild Terra 2 is definitely slow, I can’t argue with you there, but once you get out onto the main Island, it really opens up. You are now able to trade with a bunch of players. There are now PvE instances that have good rewards feeling once you finish them. There are a lot of players on with player built homes all around. There are unique mounts you can try to get as well. And this is just the stuff that is currently in the game. WT2 is currently in early access and is completely crowd funded. The game is supposed to be fully released later this year (with tons of content even coming after the release) so I truly think you should maybe give it another try around then. P.S You can always skip the tutorial Island by going to one of the beaches and hopping on an already made boat. P.P.S If you do try this again, trade is a pretty important part of this game so unless you are fluent in (that looks like chinese but I don’t want to assume anything) I recommend switching to an english speaking server.

Now we want an edit of all “dont add that into the edit” video

[@AEspiral]

Neverwinter is my favorite mmo. The queue dungeon unlocks are account wide. So the point in boosting a character is after you have played the leveling game at least once.

[@BryceMousseau]

Also could have used the Random Dungeon Queue to get into one fairly fast. Especially Skirmish Queue, even as a DPS it's almost instant

[@pfortunato78]

Its the most cynical, predatory f2p game ever made. And I say this as someone that played NW for quite awhile. It is needlessly forced grind that tries to compel you to the cash shop every second. Never again for me.

[@AEspiral]

@@pfortunato78 Weird thing, i made my character in the first day of the open beta and am active to this day. I agree that some things in the game should not be monetized and are, but the game makes money and is not even close to be finished. Meanwhile you see arenanet starving... Build and maintain a MMORPG costs a lot, and the gmae still need to profit. Well, from me neverwinter receives 10 dolars every month as VIP.

[@BryceMousseau]

@@AEspiral agreed. And it's far better then BDO's cash shop, or worse... Archeage...

[@Carriesue1982]

@@AEspiral there are right and wrong ways to do cash shops and neverwinter does it the wrong way. Any game that essentially forces your hand to spend a load of cash just to keep up is trash no matter how good the gameplay is and is not a game I will ever support. ESO and GW2 are good examples of cash shops doing things fairly.

[@happy_camper]

I'm honestly a bit intrigued by the badness of some games lol. It's oddly entertaining.

[@Chronomatrix]

You know what truly pisses me off about these games? People spent time modeling, texturing, programming, etc. for nothing, some of those features take a lot of work to do. What all these games are lacking is proper game design. Neverwinter is still a nice game tho.

[@mikekuzmicz8408]

The “Z” hot key for moving forward is pretty standard for all French keyboards layouts, that are AZERTY instead of QWERTY like on the rest of the planet 😅

[@Sporrik]

I use Dvorak. Most games automatically detect that and rebind my movement to ,AOE. The few that don't are sensibly defaulted to WASD. I don't really know what the devs were thinking when implementing the controls for a wider audience.

[@alexsebastyan3157]

Indeed!

[@Odinsfall]

Definitely do more videos like this, even if you have to wait awhile to throw a compilation together like your editor has here. It's entertaining to watch and at least you're not wasting your time/money entirely - plus it actually gives us viewers a good idea of what games to avoid.

[@BlameMaxSand]

The Neverwinter thing, "I don't think they've thought thru the whole boost thing". you boosted but they figure you will also pay for the token to skip the low level campaigns.......... They thought it thru, and found a way to triple, quadruple dip on the monetization of a booster lol.

[@jonathansoko1085]

They create problems then solve it with macro transactions in their shop

[@KacperSuhako]

But even if he didn't boost to 70 he would still be like maybe two/three days in most campaings by the time he would hit 70... So level boost obiovsly does not complete any of the campaings since leveling isn't that hard. Not to mention ANY lvl 70 is too weak to deal with any of the Legacy Campaigns so giving progress to campaigns would make no sense.

[@BoogerLeader]

Skipping through the leveling process has NEVER meant skipping through quest content. This isn't some great discovery or outlier. If anything, this says more about his ability to stay focused than the game itself as he's trying to force the game to cater to his very specific need to skip through everything quickly.

[@BlameMaxSand]

@@BoogerLeader The campaigns aren't questing, per se, Tho some questing is involved. they are time gated achievement style hoops one must jump thru to get to the next stage, and they have many of them, and you can skip each one for, I believe, 30$ US a pop. To get to current end game content would require upwards of 300$ US, on top of the 45$ US for the level boost. Or if you don't pony up, you can do it in months of grinding, around 6 or so if you stay at it. Either way, doesn't lend itself to boosting up to end game and seeing the content in a few hours which is Peon's intent here.

Me too.. I actually rly enjoy this kind of content. Maybe do a weekly roundup of these?

[@damrock]

I'm more worried about that fact I can't think of a single MMO that doesn't sell you some sort of in-game currency. This sort of thing is why I don't play MMOs anymore. I remember back when I used to play things like Wow and meet a player with awesome gear and think "Wow he must be pro and have had to have defeated some hard bosses for that gear". All I can see now is "Wonder how much money they've spent on this game". While I was super excited for ASHES OF CREATION, I was immediately put off when I went to the pre-order page. Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack - $375 / Don't forget after 9 months you also have $14.99 to pay every month as well. ^ Comes with $125 in Embers (in-game marketplace credits).

[@jesperburns]

Yeah so you get the game (60), 9 x 15 access (135) and in-game currency (125) = $300 So what is the other 75 for? Honestly, I would never consider pre-ordering something that isn't even remotely close to being finished and on which no reviewer has made any content. But I would consider getting a pack of multiple hundreds of dollars if that amounted to 100% playtime with a discount, so at least two and a half years for that price.

[@mykulpierce]

What I would like to see is a developer just taking experimental approach to MMO game development. Even if it's very rudimentary. Let's say each player controls one box that can move an XY axis and limited z axis (jumping, swimming, climbing like mechanics). what kind of server infrastructure will allow you to place as many players as possible on the same screen with the minimal amount of lag? Can this be handled by simply a SQL server that is storing coordinate data that is checked by a gateway server that is checking for cohesive data from the clients (preventing clients manipulating game engine to play block anywhere outside of normal parameters)? When I am interested in an MMO the first things that comes to mind is how many players do I get to play with it any one time on the screen. If that MMO is nothing but a glorified lobby for instanced content I immediately think that the developers have wasted brain power and cells developing a dungeon crawler game that could be easily done by a traditional game lobby loading directly into dungeons. I honestly think there probably is a niche for that in the fantasy genre that doesn't really exist right now. Essentially a co-op RPG genre that's essentially unfulfilled.

[@mykulpierce]

@@Hemlocker I kind of wonder why they are so expensive to make. And I wonder if the reason why they are is because they're trying to copy the theme park aspects of games like wow as "proven" model. Despite the fact that as wow has doubled down on theme park designs they bleed more players each expansion.

[@herbertuswasnixus7322]

Neverwinter was so cool until Perfect World really dug into it. They ripped out so many cool features and left these preditory microtrasactions.

I try a lot of different games just for fun and because I don't like playing only one game for weeks, but some days it just feels like a chore. Then I get mad at myself because I can't seem to enjoy the very thing I've chosen as a hobby and I might even force myself through a game, which is obviously not a good thing. I really like your reviews and the way you approach new games, and to be honest up until now I thought you're just so calm and curious and well-adjusted all the fucking time. Cheers.

[@Patrick-go8ub]

"Earlygame leveling in pretty much every mmo kinda sucks" I think we just went to the core problem of the genre. You go through hours of playing just for the promise of it becomming more fun later on. Then the endgame becomes stale after like a week, but you carry on playing for a bit because of the time invested. Find a new mmo, rinse and repeat.

with neverwinter, unless its one of the endgame high-item level dungeons, I use the random dungeon/skirmish queue, it pops almost instantly, but for a lot of the dungeons you need to have a higher gear score to access them. with abilities, neverwinter works a little differently, because you mainly use the two left and right click abilities mixed in with the other three and the occasional cult and dodge but there are also artifact and potion abilities that equip to the hotbar

In Neverwinter, if you play as a DPS the queues take a long time to pop. Your best bet is to try the random trial queue and hope for the best. As for what is the point of boosting to level 70, the trials, dungeons and skirmishes are an account wide unlock. Therefore, if you are a veteran player and want to create another character, you can purchase the level 70 boost because you already have all the content unlock. However, if you are a new player, I do not recommend doing it. To be honest, Neverwinter isn't your typical MMORPG. 80% of the content you can do solo, and the rest are 5 or 10 men groups. Zones can only have 20 to 40 players at the same instance, so you don't really get the *MM* of the ORPG all that much... The good things about the game are the *combat and the lore of D&D.* (I only play for those two reasons, and because of the *friends* that I have made over the years). The *PVP shucks ass,* the drop chances of anything decent are *ridiculously low,* and the game is *HEAVY* pay to win. You can play for free if you want, but it will take *YEARS* to get the bis items and clear the end game dungeons and trials. I have never put a dime in the game, nor I ever will. Just waiting for Ashes of Creation to launch, so I can play a good and true MMORPG again...

Bro i love your 1st impression videos and everything..i almost watch all of it, most especially your reaction to my favorite game bannerlord..i think you should make game walkthrough with your commentary it'll be fun to watch..more power bro, keep doing what your doing

Menzoberranzan is a city of dark elves (drows) in the D&D lore. it's where Drizzt Do'Urden is from, the main character in the books of R.A. Salvatore. Great books. must read for all D&D fans

[@NoFunney]

You should try something like Josh Strife where he purposely reviews terrible MMOs, you discover some crazy ideas and executions for video game designs

Love that dude

[@chiekokurokumo]

His recent coverage of Otherland is phenom

[@IntegrityGames]

Josh Strife Hayes? Big fan. It must take a lot out of a person to intentionally review bad games, although some of them do turn out to be "not that bad." Still, like Peon said, after a while it starts to feel like you're just comparing trash to games that are slightly less trash.

[@Ravanin01]

This video was a good idea Peon. It was interesting and fun with a bit of a funny twist to it.

[@iamyu7931]

Bring back gaming session at some point. I still come back from time to time to watch those because of how entertaining they are.

[@JesseAllenJr]

I'll be honest I was surprised when Neverwinter popped up. I always considered it among the top mmos even though I don't play anymore. It was entertaining and informative to watch someone play without any bias. Guess I ain't going back to Neverwinter any time soon lol.

[@MarvMarvensen]

Well, apparently he doesn't know shit about the D&D universe the game is based in. Played a paladin, then complains it's a tank/support class. Gets a boost to lvl 70, then complains he doesn't understand all the stuff the game would have tought him up till then. Great review...

[@jesperburns]

@@MarvMarvensen That's why it's not a review. Also, you actually have tank/support classes where a heal or buff is more than just that. That's what he was complaining about. And the complaint about the boosting to 70 was that the game makes you play lower level content anyway. He doesn't understand why you need to complete level 20 dungeons before you get to do level 70 ones with a level 70 character. 14:00

[@roko512]

Do try Baldur's Gate 3, it's in Early Access but it's got lots of great content in it already

[@Rinfin13]

Can you do more than act 1 yet?

[@Nikita-vz5wj]

@@Rinfin13 no, i think they said there would be no more acts until release, but they haven't even released all of act 1 so I presume that they will release the rest of act 1 before it releases

[@peterlopez2388]

It’s not really an mmo tho

[@roko512]

@@peterlopez2388 it's not an mmo at all

[@Nikita-vz5wj]

@@peterlopez2388 yeah, but he said he would be trying out non-mmo content. He's already done a video on valhiem which is not an mmo(although it is survival and the two genres are fairly close)

[@claire6650]

They really killed Neverwinter with the latest update, as a veteran playing since the beta ( so since 2013 ), this was the nail in the coffin and made me uninstall

[@Caerulean]

What happened? 👀 If I remember right, people were pointing to this as the better Dungeons & Dragons MMO (and Peon enjoyed DDO in his review video), or the better MMO compared to LOTRO, so seeing Neverwinter in this montage was surprising to me. Until the part where boosting apparently doesn't unlock content for the level you boosted to, that is.

[@Orblingz]

@@Caerulean they broke single player content and moved far more to P2W from what I can see. LotRO is awesome, no comparison there and DDO is a bit more specialised IMO.

[@Caerulean]

@@Orblingz Ah. Thanks for the reply.

[@JuneOne]

@thelazypeon lookin lean and healthy my guy. keep up the good videos and hard work!

I actually just got into never winter a couple of days ago, Not planning on spending anything on it but so far it is enjoyable

[@FoehnAlkaiser]

It’s the best way to play it

[@mikekuzmicz8408]

I only spend on shit here and there, but anything progression or p2w related never. Got myself a skeletal steed and dragonborn up till now so no regrets

[@joeh858]

The leveling experience is the most enjoyable part of the game. Once you reach max you are just doing dailies and weeklies forever, to progress at a snail's pace. There are literally so many dailies that you could never complete all in one day. So you have to pick and choose which content you want to progress with. It would take years to complete everything which may sound good to some but it's monotonous. The same exact quests over and over for months. Oh, but of course you can pay real money to complete things.

[@mikekuzmicz8408]

@@joeh858 yeah that's the sad shit with the game

[@joeh858]

@@mikekuzmicz8408 Yeah, which is unfortunate because there's a lot of potential otherwise. The combat feels good and even though the graphics are old I think it still looks great in some places.

The Dark Souls 2 Majula sound, showed you are a man of culture. Take my like.

[@TheSentientsix]

Honestly, if you are starting to feel like its hard to come up with newer videos. You could try doing some retrospectives like the salt factory. I and many others love videos like that and I think you would be perfect for it. Anyways, Great vid. I always enjoy your videos!

[@DaemonPrince]

Biggest Issue with Never winter nights is the lack of an engaging experiance and how easy the content is, theres very few locations that you cant solo as a dps character, and even less as a paladin or Cleric. The best part is the Raids and dungeons and PvP but you cant really get on those till your in the later levels with abilitys to make you useful in them hence the games massive issue.
