    Open world seamless gameworld - i dont mind loading screen like gw2, teso, its make game less lagging.

    First person view - yes with 3rd option and all the way zoom out camera

    Low Fantasy setting - medieval

    PVP  - must have looting, red name player has chance for their equipment to drop, red names means they kill other innocent player

    Skill based leveling, you use it to levels

    No trash loot everything is related to crafting, combine lower tier mats to high tier, mobs can drop items that can be sell for gold, in game gold and gems to support developer

    No gear as quest rewards everything in game is 100% player crafted - unlogical for a quest to give gear...or gold in some case..depends on the quest...if u help poor village, how can they give u gold? and why u accept it?

    Mobs don't drop gear just mats to make items - yes, but depends, mobs like human mobs, can drop gear.

    Has cash shop - to support developer

    Free To Play - give some advantage to player who buy the game. free player are weaker than player that bought the game

    Castle building (rebuilding) of existing foundations - yes this is awesome

    Castles are siegeable and destroyable back to foundation, must be defended

    Has housing systems.

    Needs system - like food, drinks, desert. that give increasing status

    and many more later

    Could they be, do you think?  When a store window or store ads pop up on my screen, it feels like a "feature" to me.

    Are you one who automatically likes "new features" just because they are new?  Nothing wrong with that, just wondering.

    I already said that earlier in the thread ... good combat gameplay, of course.
    I would have thought soloability would have been at the top.

    The combat system is a very important part of any MMO, it can make or break them, it probably was a major contributor to Wildstars fail, along with the overly cartoony graphics, but i would rate it just as highly as the social tools in the game, neither one of these things seems to be a consideration for the OP?

    Features are supposed to be positive aspects to a game, which is the complete opposite of what store ads that pop up on your screen are. Unless you are advertising the game as P2W then describing F2P as a feature, only relates to how you pay for the game, not the aspects of the game itself. When F2P is a feature, then you are effectively stating that progress, in one form or another, can be purchased for cash.

    Absolutely, many titles are designed around their payment models (if not all) and in the case of f2p from the start games often feature quite prominently in not only advertising in game, but is part of the core gameplay.

    My answer is lacking from that list. Smooth, enjoyable moment to moment game play. 
    Lots of games have multiple of the features listed. They just lack the fun moment to moment game play.

    A complete game is the ONLY feature i want.If all you got for me is yellow question marks,linear questing and instances your game deserves a 1/10 for ingenuity and effort.

    That comes in a close second. Let me put it this way, i will still play a little if the combat is fun, and I have to hit a button to PUG. But if the combat (or associated gameplay .. like stealth) is boring, why would i waste time whether i am soloing or in group?

    I am actually surprised at PvP Arena/Battlegrounds.
    Considering how much developers insist in pushing it down our throat it is amazing to discover no one gives a shit.

    I didn't even think of that as an option, but it's a pretty good point.

    Alot of cool features and systems get dumbed down or scrapped altogether once developers start worrying about the sensitives.

    No one gives a shit HERE. It is a free world. Is there a reason why devs should not cater to those who like instanced pvp, and cater to you?

    Some instanced pvp MMO like World of Tank is actually doing better than most MMORPGs.

    Why in fuck would anyone play a boring game. Give your head a shake, detective clever.

    If I wanted an Arena, I'd go play LoL.   It's always somewhere around the 5th or 10th game I install after reinstalling windows.

    They're trying to force it down your throats because of old data that shows that PvPers actually form communities that are tight nit enough to get that "community rentention mechanic" that MMOs need to survive.   It's hard to tell if that social dynamic is still large enough to matter now days, but judging by all the forum gripes about balance I imagine it still is but not as much as even a few years ago.

    Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

    Immersion, either I buy into the world, my character and my role or I dont. If that doesnt work nothing will fix it.

    After that - challenge, cant play if I am not dying.

    I would say not. LoL has zero social dynamics (well, unless you count toxicity as a dynamic) and it is more successful than any MMOs.

    Normally I'd expect pets, housing, and crafting to be considered as a package, since good pet -related play means crafting (i.e. capturing, breeding, training, merging, mutating, whatever) pets, and good housing means player-crafted housing.  What do you all think?
    I want to help design and develop a PvE-focused, solo-friendly, sandpark MMO which combines crafting, monster hunting, and story.  So PM me if you are starting one.

    Stop talking as if I don't know the numbers.
    Try to read between the lines for once.
    I know how popular instanced PvP is.

    MMORPG+Instanced PvP is not popular anymore, and probably never was (the combination of the 2).
    People who liked that kind of gameplay, played MMORPGs with Battlegrounds because they had no alternative.
    Now they have MOBAs and everyone is moving over there.
    Which is one of the reason why WoW is losing customers so fast in my opinion.

  • RoinRoin Member RarePosts: 3,444
    Most attractive feature? Fun.  If I find that it looks like fun, and actually is fun to play. The other pieces of the the puzzle seem to just fall into place.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    Totally agree with your statement.   LoL is specifically designed to only be an MMO in area's where it increases retention(leveling runes/masteries, friendslist that mostly just useful for out of game friends, and similar).

    However in an MMO like WoW,  PvPers also used guild mechanics, they use PvE mechanics, crafting mechanics, and similar.   A PvPer, especially a twink got their best gameplay when they were part of a community.   Especially when you consider how much more support and mechanics they need to use compared to other characters.

    Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

    After ten plus years of "same same same"?

    Something evolutionary would be welcome. Essentially, yes, if its a big enough shift they'll win my bucks, even if it's one I may not like; better than Yet Another Formula production.

    more like gamers need to play games in other online genre, since many in this genre wants to define their genre very narrowly (which obviously not shared by websites and reviewers, but that is another story).
