Title: MMO general
Post by: ScumbagSoldier on February 24, 2015, 11:54:50 PM
MMOs, by the combination of being usually free, and often a time sink, make them the perfect time sink for NEETS, and those trying to distract themselves from their shit lives.
So who plays here? I saw the thread for some gay shit, but what else are you guys playing?
I've been having a lot more fun with the new WoW expansion than even I thought, and also play Guild Wars 2 and Tera on occasion.
To all who care: Gaarah on Azgalor Euronymous Vex on Gate of Madness Scumbag on Mount Tyranus.

The only surviving MMO I have an account on is Tera, I have two characters near cap on MT. I haven't played it since the reaper update got released though.
MMO's are only fun for playing dress up.

Not playing any right now. I was going to try FFXIV but then I realized I won't have the time for it when I start my job so I gave up on that.
I did play some with the character creator. Naturally I tried to make myself.
Here's the 'pretty' human subrace:

And the buff, mean looking human subrace:

As you can see, results vary greatly because there's really not much branching out from the base appearance of the race.

I think GW2 was the most disappointed I've been for a game in the last decade. Might get back into GW1 though, I've heard the scene has been pretty alive!

I remember when I was around 13 runescape use to be the cool thing to do and if you didn't play then you were uncool and only the super cool kids had memberships. I doubt they still think that now but it was a funny time.
:nyoron:
I can confirm this.
Those same coolkids laughed at me for playing WoW. :sad2:

I had fun with WoW pservers back in 2005, but that was because it had like 200x exp and you could blow through the entire game in a week with no grinding.
If it's not like that then I don't want it.

Damn.
Kinda bummed we ain't doing a modern server, since I'd go for a cute as hell femgoblin, but I'll take what I can get.
I started playing in TBC, but since it's Vanilla, I'm guessing that every class besides warrior, rogue, mage, priest, and hunter are useless, yeah?

you can be a cute femgnome. and it depends entirely on what your doing. paladins/shamans are great, but they are healers first. if you want endgame pve, warlocks are shit now but once they get to AQ/naxx they start doing really well. other than that they are fine. druids are basically the support class, thats what you get when you play them, jack of all trades, master of none. id say druids are pretty shit in vanilla but they still have their utilities.

Downloading in a few. Not feeling well today, so I might go to bed early, and my time will probably be pretty divided with work and gearing the content I paid for, but I'll try to at least log in and say hi tonight.
Probably gonna make a rogue.
Also, gnomes ain't as lewd and don't got the booty.
In the old days I would've considered it but now with work I'm just not awake or getting ready for bed when you burgers come home to play. :sad:
Minus the weekends, but I'd probably just end up wanting to do other things then anyway.
You know what you must do.

A proper mecha action MMO would be so nice. Especially if you could board ships and fight huge battles in space.
And just think of the crazy customization options you could have. The upgrades, research and technology options.

There is a game called ace something that's a bit like that. You don't play as mecha, but as space fighters. It's a bit like a Star Fox mmorpg.

Of course!
I'm not sure if there's any complete archive anymore though. Used to be sites dedicated to collecting it all in one place but that's like 10 years ago.
We're going to be entering the age of VR pretty soon.
Yet there will never be a MMO which does combat, exploration, progression , and the social aspects right.
Never mind the microtranscancer, rehashed wannabe fantasy lore and the same, stale, over designed armour sets every MMO does over and over.
At most an MMO will do two things right and then be horrendous in every other way.
We'll never live the lives of our dreams online from the comfort of our own basements.
We'll suffer in RL forever and ever.
Hold me broskis. Hold me tight.
(http://i.imgur.com/aAT4ZxS.jpg)
this video is really good
i mean it's hard to make a perfect game but to make a perfect mmo they first have to break out of the blueprint that is WoW and it's success
level based progression, x y z quests, skill trees, that stuff is considered synonymous to MMOs only because of how WoW did it, not to say WoW was bad but because it was what worked so well at the time, developers never took risks, with the exception of EVE
I love reading about EVE but I'd probably never play it, the freedom it gives the players to write their own stories and events are fueled by real intentions and prizes with real stakes, im not exactly sure about how it works, but if you're fighting for X area in space, there's only one of that area to conquer, unlike raid bosses which have been killed several hundreds or thousands of times before you, or a legendary "sword" either blocked by a paywall or part of a quest others have completed, making it not really unique
MMOs are a big risk because of the amount of time and money it takes to create one, so it's understandable why most developers would play it safe and follow most of the foundation that WoW has already placed
basically, everyone's idea of MMO, or at least most means it must have things like set quests and skill trees and "get better gear with higher numbers so you can kill enemies with higher numbers"; at the basic level, all an MMO has to do is just have a massive amount of players in one instance at a time, and give them ways to interact with each other, and build around that
I'm not saying the next big MMO has to be a sandbox, but it doesn't have to be a theme park either

Title: Re: MMO general
Post by: Ming on January 13, 2016, 08:05:31 AM
Thing is people want theme parks every single sandbox mmo has failed at holding high numbers of population exluding Eve online of course.
I do miss runescape tier quests they are alot more interesting than Kill X etc.
I can't think of many other sandbox MMOs The theme park formula works, and is a safe formula, EVE tried something different, and it worked, as risky as it was
Part of the issue is that people are so used to theme park MMOs that they don't know what else to look for in an MMO that's any different from WoW, because there's so few examples of anything else to compare it to with the saturation of WoW clones
Title: Re: MMO general
Post by: landshark on January 13, 2016, 08:51:12 AM
The reliance on the skinner box-y numbers ladder is just getting in the way of the genre growing into new directions too.
It'd be really fun to make an MMO that built on player interaction instead. After all that's kind of what you'd expect from an online world right?
I think Elite is trying to do that, but there's not enough tools in the game for that yet, and it's asking too much of the players for pay for an incomplete game, I love Elite but there's not enough to do in it, at least not yet
development and update patches are going to continue for at least the next 2 years, and hopefully the background sim will become much more deep and player driven

To me, an MMO should focus on community. Dungeons must be played in parties or you will not survive. In fact, certain areas of the world map should have packs of monsters that cannot be soloed. Furthermore, no instant parties. Parties should be created through socialising with other players.

Title: Re: MMO general
Post by: Ming on February 19, 2020, 01:03:29 PM
I actually played MUDs in the early 2000s! ...Because my computer was pretty much, an actual toaster, not because I was a fan of text based games. :damn:
Thought about making one a few years ago, mainly because 1) not that hard (in theory) and 2) I wanted to leverage some neat AI chat bot stuff for fun.
Legitimately want to make a multiplayer game though. To be honest it's less because I have a great game idea, I just want to experiment for that kind of networking and trying to optimize stuff for big brain gains. Also, I kind of got fascinated with 3d graphics this summer and spent a week of my vacation making a suuuuuper basic, embarrassingly so, 3d engine in the browser. And I'm HUNGRY to do more experimenting with it.

Post by: Ming on February 21, 2020, 02:32:59 PM
I wouldn't really say it's flexing, take a look:
(https://i.imgur.com/I05RNn0.png)
The hard part is algorithms. But... these are standard, and freely available. Ergo, I didn't "figure it out" myself, I just slapped stuff into functions, made some buttons to tweak variables, wrote a bit of code to actually render the output data as vectors in the browser canvas, and presto!
It's a cube because I don't have any 3d program to sculpt a real model with, in theory, I could write a parser function to convert mesh files into the object structure I'm using and display that. :heh:

It's...going, I guess. Trying to get its libraries to work with languages besides its proprietary one was less simple than advertised, and progress has been slowed by sorta learning C++ at the same time, and class starting up again. Right now, I've gotten a first person controller and a room with a box. I figured I'd start with something as simple as possible while still being something I can be enthusiastic about and incorporate elements that will be valuable for more ambitious projects.
To that end, I've got plans for a Killing Floor type wave shooter thing, with plans for skill trees and randomized loot and stuff.
Title: Re: MMO general
Post by: Ming on February 22, 2020, 01:03:21 PM

I think people have higher opinions about Unity than Godot? At least from what I've heard, Godot has horrible 3d implementation, but does 2d well. I've been too long gone from this stuff to know from my own experience though :sing:

You could get the car from FFXV as part of a limited time event.
This was in the summer of 2018, I believe.

I feel like there is at least one other car, or similar thing maybe, but I might be wrong. But there's tons of crazy mounts you can get, airships, mechs, literal enemies that you ride, it's very neat!

I just remembered the time I ran an mmo server for /vg/ of all things. I found out that I still have all the non-server files (minus some NPC scripts). Like the site files, images, game client, patcher / patches, etc. Crazy nostalgia trip!
Look at this cute website :love:

The game has a very rare maid pet called Alice... of course I had one. If you raise their affection levels, they begin to talk :kyaa:

Sitting in the town, server actually had some people who played other than me! :heh:

alas work + a social life is too much. :gloom: :gloom: :gloom: :gloom: :gloom:
ez just get rid of one of those :yay:
Honestly I want to do this real bad, liked REAL bad. The getting rid of work one. Legit spend 6 hours per day commuting now. (To be fair I work for 3 hours during the commute but that's still really bad).
Been thinking a lot about what I could do with my savings if I did it. Would be hella sweet to do something like an indie game. I estimated that I have like 4 years if I lived super frugally. Dangerous thoughts.

If you want to do it do it with a plan and clear deadlines. This way you won't feel stressed because of >no jobs. Better to do this while you don't have a wife and kids
