WoW made MMOs a mainstream genre and laid out a blueprint for what works. Every major developer is now following this blueprint because it's safe. I can't blame this for it, but it's surely gotten pretty stale and everyone can feel it. I think soone…
They will change some things but not in the way you appear to think. CU, Crowfall, Pantheon, Lucimia are niche games (no, it's not something we made up, the developers said it), and if they succeed the market for "designer" niche-tailored MMO's will…
The market is over-saturated with PvE games. As a backer, I don't give two cents about raid/dungeon content in this game. Keep it out.
If you don't like that, don't waste your time coming here whining that this "killed CU" for you. Go play one of t…
Are there crowd-funded MMOs that have failed a hard deadline? Because if there are not, you can't say that they are failing. Still gotta wait a couple of years. What's the closest indie MMO coming out soon?
Threads like these are futile. OP has every major MMO listed in his sig. OP, what are you looking for? You've been around the block, you know every major MMO out there. What can people on here recommend to you that you haven't already heard about? S…
I genuinely tried getting into this game. I hyped myself up for RR, got the pre-order, even got a new rig for the sweet gfx. In the end though I made it to level 6 and unsubscribed. The game is super polished and full of flavor, but to me, who is no…
This is an interesting project. Focus on single-player story and advent of automated LFD systems in modern MMOs left me utterly confused. It's like these games are trying to compete with queue-based games like LoL or single-player RPGs like Witcher …
I am so going to try this out. I've never played EQ, have no idea what the game is like, but I am so tired of WoW's single-player queue bullshi*t that I am willing to try anything O_o7
Does anyone know where I can look up the complete list of stretch goals?
I backed this game two years (?) ago now when they asked for a million, but haven't followed it since. I see that they broke $3m already, and I was wondering what stretch g…
For a company that presented itself as a no frills no bullshit outfit there is a surprising amount of corporate talk in that announcement. Made me lol. Like this bit:
Q 3. Are you doing Megaservers because of declining server population?
The in…
To all the people going nuts over my use of word 'endgame,' perhaps I should have worded my question a bit differently as:
What is the pinnacle of organized play in AA? Well, no matter.
Originally posted by rensta Pretty much the same as ev…
Don't really care about the mechanics. But the animation though - ugh. Stilted and chopped. You'd think the industry would learn to make fluid and graceful animations by now. WoW did it 10 years ago -_-
I wondered about this question many times. I don't know the answer. But for me I think it's a mix of several things: novelty wearing off and things generally being lackluster, not enough time to play like I used to (5 day raiding schedule with Karaz…
You've basically played every major MMO on the market. Any game people suggest in this thread will be more of the same. You could go for something exotic like EVE, Asheron's Call, Darkfall, or DDO, but I doubt any of them will be a "keeper."
