What disappointed me is that I don't know about everyone else, But I totally wanted to play just "an MMO" with a Runeterra coat of paint... (just make it horizontal not vertical and it's gonna be a W for me)

[@TNTspaz]

Totally. Make it horizontal then slowly add in vertical power creep cause horizontal sucks. While continously abandoning features in fear of requiring the player to ever do anything GW2 was a failed experiment

[@Goremize]

@@TNTspaz GW2 didn't fail though? Its buy once own forever no subs, the problem came from who happened to be in charge at the time. If you play during certain events or stop playing at the end of Lw4 GW2 is an awesome game with an incredible story. If you play the story after that though you see the cracks as what followed was a story pushed during covid lockdowns which was done really badly, and then their expansion EOD which cost them over half their playerbase with how bad the expansion was and everything that followed. Its a story based game essentially that truly ends at living world 4. if you stopped playing then, you leave GW2 loving it.

[@undercoverspy123]

Just 1 to 1 copy most of the shit from FF14 (with modern netcode) and ramp that shit up with their stellar art team, get some solid writers to make a multiple expansion long story and its probably the best MMO of our lives no need to reinvent the wheel.

[@emperorborgpalpatine]

I'm proud of them for choosing the invention route instead of the industrial standard safe and working copy paste model. They taking a huge risk and I hope they succeed.

[@Xenphos]

​@@undercoverspy123 As good as ff14 is I wouldn't want to copy it and put a runeterra coat of paint on it. Riots mmo should be unique to them while improving on pervious idea's.

OW2 was an MMO that got reduced to a Hero Shooter... they basically only kept the art-ish for it, and creating a couple of small maps and 3 abilities per hero is VERY different to comparing an Open World Map with some 10-20 abilities per hero :| Riot even if they scrapped everything except the art and maaaybe some of the maps they made, it's not east to create something NEW and INNOVATIVE and GROUNDBREAKING in a MMO compared to... what?

Yeah because you guys are MMO boomers. No new audience is gonna pick up another game where every class can do everything within their role, there is an extremely repetitive bland 2 minute meta, and most bosses are literally just "stand in the right place and wait for your damage window". Especially since we already have 3 popular MMOs that do the exact same thing. With more coming in the future. Tab targeting and "combat" only exists as a compromise for the horrible 2 decade old netcode all these absolutely ancient games have.

[@undercoverspy123]

[@FeiFongWang]

@@undercoverspy123 Respectfully, it really doesn't matter if you've been playing for 10 hours or 10,000 hours, wanting a tab targeting theme park clone of ff14 is an MMO boomer opinion to hold. Over half of current MMO players are over 25, and the genre has a well known difficulty attracting a new player base that isn't just established players that look back fondly on the golden age of mmos. Adding another wow clone into what is essentially a well established decade old market isn't a very good creative decision, in my opinion, and it looks to be their opinion as well.

I'm sure an MMO that sticks to the basics of other MMO's already in the market and a few new and interesting mechanics that are always present in Riot games when compared to their competitors would have been a profitable approach, why give that up to make a "significant revolution of the genre"

[@exa211]

FF14 was a mild exception with the fact that a few classes have a somewhat interesting rotation and there are some mechanics which don't make it as stale or dull, but FF14's issue is the MSQ being as long as it is. riot knows how to keep people engaged and hooked on games and i have faith they'll be able to finally make an MMO with gameplay that doesn't make me feel like my brain is rotting

I think a big feature that every MMORPG needs to have is in-depth customization. Not just character creation, but also build opportunities, outfits, housings/homesteads. The best game to be not only has great character progression through levels and dungeons/raids, but also through community. I'm a serious RPer, every MMORPG I've played I scour and find some kind of roleplay community to be apart of. I like to invest my time into only a few, small handful of characters - mostly just one or two. That's what gets me to stay in an MMORPG for a very long time. So to hear this just makes me worried about what's to come to the Runeterra MMO.

[@Roaddawg1705]

I think they should go for a more story driven experience over anything. Like having the traditional grinding of an MMO is important but the Runeterra universe is special because of the ever expanding stories. Maybe some form of making your own story would benefit them over anything. (I was expecting a 2026 release or trailer... Can't wait to show my kids the new MMO.)

[@ratburgler]

not gonna happen in an MMO, that'd be for single player gamer.

XIV ends up functioning more like a second-life than a game now and WoW is sustained by fumes from 2004. Appreciate how they'll try to balance out the super approachable system, but mind numbing, button bloating tab targeting, and the much higher barrier of entry of modern action combat you see in korean mmos/newer releases.

Did he just pull a blizzard and tell us we don’t actually know what we want? 😂

[@machinagenex101]

I mean he aint wrong, look at smash players. "We don't want anymore anime swordfighters." *freaks out about sora and sephiroth*

I think it’s to a different degree, blizzard is more disrespectful with how they went about it. Riots gameplay earns a benefit of the doubt

[@hiropisku1078]

Boy, I can't wait for the MMO with 2000 years of experience to release and play it with my grand kids.

[@lunaticcat]

What is problematic for me in "we don't believe you all want an MMO that you've played before" is that A LOT of people tried to improve the genra of what an MMORPG is, and failed. Every time a company tried to make a new take on how an MMO should work, it ended up being worse than what theme park MMOs had to offer (ff14, WoW...) Well, I AM hopeful that we will get an awsome new take on the MMO genra, just a bit sad that the chances of it being something I don't wish to play increased drasticly because of this decision.

[@Merilirem]

I wouldn't have played a theme park again so this is only good news for me. I have played theme parks and they all end up as wasted time. I would not have been any less happy playing other games instead. The best parts of an MMO do not even come from the theme park design. It comes from the people playing it.

[@lunaticcat]

​@@Merilirem I do not fully agree with this. the sentence could be replaced by "the best parts about playing *any type of game* do not even come from *their gameplay* . It comes from the people playing it. playing poker with friends will always be more fun than playing alone on league. because the fun comes from interacting with your friends or friends-to-be first and foremost.

[@DiabolicDistortion]

I will forever love Necrit for being a good critic. He puts as much effort in highlighting the good things as he does in pointing out the bad things. With this, you get a much wider perspective and you can even leave the video with some kind of an optimistic feeling about the future!

[@Zairin.]

i was talking with a friend about this. i feel like if they made the league MMO to be more centric on learning the lore and quests, i'd love that. maybe make combat feel similar to league combat, but let you add abilities to QWERASDF. make the abilities fully customizable/piecemeal. certain races in certain areas can do quests to get ability components. so things like projectile, AOE, then element damage like electric, rock, fire, and shielding, healing components. if they can balance it well enough, the PVP scene may actually be really good, since no two people would have the exact same setup of skills, making its unpredictable.

[@keepsakecube]

honestly im excited for them to try something big and new with the mmo. i havent really been into any mmos i played. the only two notable ones were runescape and tera, and that's only because i was playing them to hang out with people.

[@calvinwilson3617]

It's never coming out. They said they want it to do "something different," but it sounds like they still haven't figured out what they want it to do differently.

[@18coolblade]

I wonder how much of this is planned to stir up the waters to see the reactions. I mean it would be a good way to see where people stand on things given how well Necrit here helps it along.

[@cleveranonym74]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite MMO on the Citadel.

[@EvolMe]

RuneScape, Maplestory, Wow, FF14, Put the Rito paint on any of these MMOS ill be happy lmao

4:36 i totally get the loyalty thing as im super loyal to FFXIV i couldnt tell you why idk really but every time i play a different mmo i just miss FFXIV and always go back

[@saphcal]

i was like that with Ragnarok Online back in the day.

[@donsensey]

"So overall what did we learn today? We learnt that nothing in our lives will change. And you just wasted your time watching this video." Excellent

[@phantomx2003]

It's hard to think about a game taking that long to come out after being hyped for it for a good bit. I'm looking forward to having an MMO set in the LoL universe.

[@arionell]

Riot is not going to make anything that will feel like a "sigificant evolution of the genre". There really isn't much you can do with MMOs at this point. People do needs to understand that ALL MMOs comes down to going around and killing stuff one way or another. Its just a matter of fun it is. Its weird that people haven't learned to keep their expectations in the realm of reality. People should ask for a quality MMO experience with a quality combat, instead of expecting something that is going to "reinvent the wheel". This is especially true because Riot is at its best when they spin an established thing to their liking. Riot's identity was never about uniqueness. FFXIV would've been a much better game if it had a better combat. WoW or BnS would've been a much better game if it had better social features and content accompanied with it. BDO would've been a much better game if it had better group content. They should look to fill what the big MMOs are missing instead of going after the "unique". The "unique" is a major reason why we're constantly getting trash AAA games.

[@aruux]

So, true thats why I was hoping theyd go for the take a formula that works and make it riot, looking at valorant, 2XKO etc.

[@negentropyagent7337]

exactly, a "complete experience" if you will.

[@lesfm561]

ur not wrong, riot does specialize a lot in taking established games and releasing a version that draws out the best in said games. however i also think thats also a large reason that riot wants to make this mmo truly "their own". people with actual eyes will know that riot just made as @negentropyagent7337 says "a complete experience". but people without eyes which seems to be quite a large number of degen dota wow cs and overwatch fans say: "Riot is just hard copying our popular games i have no idea why they are so popular how can they be better than our original games". and quite honestly i think that the degen opinion is being heard way more than the sensible one making riot right now having that label of being a copycat

[@stephgerlette9579]

I'm glad they're taking their time to put something good out.

[@ckhayne2]

I would play the crap out of something WoW-like set in Runeterra.

[@joostleisder1956]

What I'm getting from this is that Ghostcrawler had a vision for a traditional MMORPG, the higher ups didn't see it working out and thus he left and they sacked it all.

[@hidan6673]

I still appreciate the copium videos.

[@fourjhin_cookies]

At least we'll have the new upcoming EverQuest to tide us over until this hopefully releases.

[@lenk095]

Awesome video man! You are very good at stretching stories while giving us smooth information.

[@GodOfWarWrath]

All I wish for is that may my grandchildren be able to play this Riot MMO one day if it comes out even and doesn't flop immediately.

[@Ash-Bun]

funnily enough, when they said Bioware and EA, my first thought was Dragon Age, which is a fantastic fantasy world that has a lot of parallels to Runeterra

[@shrubninja6444]

It's funny, I would honestly probably love an MMO that I've played before but with a Runeterra coat of paint. Not saying I wont like what they're working on better, but I hope they're not trying to reinvent the genre just for the sake of being different. I don't mind if it's similar to stuff I've played before if that's the most fun version of it.

[@nico-ov4bg]

I could wait forever if they just gave us some info along the way

[@Tiltigo]

I'm becoming 30 this year. The thought of me being closer to 40 by the time we actually see anything substantial from this game, scares me.

[@Dunnkopop]

1/3 of us will have passed away before this launches. RIP

[@johnkies1189]

can't wait to play out this game in my retirement years

[@matt6888]

This is exactly what I wanted though, an MMO we played before with a runeterra cote of paint and riot quality. EXACTLY what I wished for. Now we ain't getting a game for minimum of 10-15 years and I can't say im all that hyped for it anymore.

[@axelcpu6428]

"Hey granpa some kind of new mmo came out... it's called History of Runeterra" -Oh... my, that name... it was long time ago..."

[@Nateyo]

I already expected it to take many years. It's not like we are gonna be starved without good games until it comes out. I see this as good news and I hope they take the time they need to make the game as high quality as possible.

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

I like their transparency though. One thing I've been really wanting from an MMO is a deep character/class customisation system. I remember playing Rift and loving it multi class system there, I've been wanting something like that ever since Rift pretty much died, but no MMO has been very satisfying for me. I'm the kind of person who enjoys experimenting with builds and creating weird/janky/gimmicky builds.

[@pryncebusta]

Go play wow

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

@@pryncebusta I hate Blizzard, no thanks and WoW's class system is by far inferior to what Rift had. It used to be that you could put points into 3 different talent trees and build your class differently to other people, they removed that so I quit.
