heavy melee with heavy healer is still the way to win OR games. It's easier to kill non heavy people, but it's almost impossible to kill heavy melee that have dedicated healers.

It is post patch and there isn't list of crazy bugs in this thread yet. I'm confused.

Its a good thing the AH is being linked to all settlements, hopefully storage will to.

Those two things were left over from when it was a good pvp game so if you wanted to transport goods you ran the risk of losing it to this now very bad PVE game that left in a lot of pvp stuff that just doesn't work when your game is just a bad pve game.

they've been slowly fading away ever since coin rewards were removed from fishing treasures a few weeks ago, in addition to the several changes that were meant to gently caress with the hooks that fishbots were using (like the hotspot message removal). I haven't seen one in a good while and the hotspot at Yonas isnt perma-camped anymore

thats not to say bots dont exist, but they're doing things that arent openwater fishing

I loved eq1 but I just can't do it with the aged graphics.

Remake eq1 with nw-tier graphics and I'm loving down. But to be clear, I don't want eq2. I don't want eq3. I want eq1, on an updated engine.

Okay...maybe with some other tweaks, too... I love the action combat style.

Just the fact that you have each territory providing extra storage for leveling that territory makes me think combining all storages is a difficult task. At the least I think they would announce their intention to do so. Hard to see this happening.

Speaking of territory level up bonuses, someone did the math on gathering and determined that '+Gathering Speed' is actually '+Gathering Yield'!
Pretty cool benefit, and I hope it actually stays this way.
Some other cool takeaways from their post...

Hell, I'd say the same thing about asheron's call 1. Bring that game back with an updated engine. Having an entire half a continent have 2 spawn points total made exploring much more fun and hair raising.

I could also see uo1 with updated graphics being popular again too. Like, the only mmo I can think of that has done the upgraded graphics thing is eve online. And they did that without rebranding. Just slapped in a new engine and kept going.

Retail or Classic Wow aren't even the best WoW you can ostensibly play.

Also who in their right mind would give Blizzard their money

Have you tried FFXIV?

I would have to say it’s probably the best.

I can’t say the combat is better but it’s pretty good and the story is pretty great.

The best MMO is the one your irl friends play. The second best MMO is just going to bed early and getting some decent sleep.

The third best is probably FFXIV.

No I haven’t played an mmo since wow burning crusade I believe. I don’t really care about a story, more into dungeons and group stuff.

That's nothing. A friend roped me into playing Ultima Online (a server called Outlands).

It’s crazy cause it seemed like there would always be a major MMO going after EQ and WOW.

The dungeons in this game aren't that good.

On the flipside, at high level I can go to a low level mob spawn and actually have fun killing things. That has never been true of any MMO I've played prior to this one.

Either FFXIV or Guild Wars 2

FFXIV has a really great free trial.

Pretty sure you can get Guild Wars 2 free right now if you have amazon prime.

I'd check both of those out since you don't have to really outlay anything.

If you don't like story, you probably won't like ff14.

GW2 is pretty good, light on story. Not great dungeons tho. Cool classes & stuff for groups to do. FFXIV is fantastic, great dungeons and settings. Also, VERY story heavy. Like 280 hours of story - which is really good but if you don't care about story in your JRPG, not for you prolly.

I'm honestly surprised that ff14 is popular then, because if you sit by a story npc in any mmo, the vast majority of people don't spend enough time there to read or listen to the content.

It's chock full of cutscenes, and people mostly don't skip them. Even mashing through the dialogue boxes elsewhere in the game, you get a bunch of story from cutscenes alone.

New World on the other hand has one cutscene where a man whose face you can't see at all talks to a man whose face you can't see very well, and these are the memorable NPCs meant to drive the story and draw the players in

It’s because it’s a pretty decent story.

I tuned out pretty quick for the NW story because it wasn’t great.

WoW is probably still the best MMO out.

That FFXIV is a snoozefest, by the time you get to end game you've already burnt yourself out with texts and cutscenes.

If I cared about story telling and cutscenes I'd read a book or watch some movie instead because you'll save immense time like that.

These games are called ARPGs and can come in various perspectives. Two popular examples are Borderlands and Diablo.

I think right now if you don’t like story stuff in games at all, and you aren’t into RuneScape, there isn’t really a good mmo for you. Action mmos fell on their face really hard, mainly due to mostly being Korean mmos with most of the baggage those have.

Good news is there are lots of just regular multiplayer games that loving rock, so just ignore mmos for awhile again.

Apparently Lost Ark is pretty fun across a bunch of genre/system type tropes. Maybe check that out too.
