Riot says an MMO is their dream
>>748769830Anyone that wants to play an mmo is already playing an mmo and no fucking wow or ffxiv player will leave their game to play riots mmo
>>748769830Did they cancel it or is there still hope?
>>748769830Just like HL3, they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they ever released it because of the decade of expectations that could never be met
>>748769830Hell yeah can't wait for yet another failed Riot game
>>748769830shouldn't they make one good game first before trying to make more?
>>748769830>riot says a new cashcow is their dreamNo shit.
>>748769938>HopeThere was never any hope to begin with.
They're still working on this?
I thought they learned their lesson from all their other flopsespecially 2xko
>>748769938it’s in development hell. i heard they had to scrap the project once and start all over like a year ago.
>>748769830>15 years ago>"Hey lets make a MMO and-">"NO WAY YOU FUCKING NIGGER FAGGOT YOUR ARE FIRED!!!!!">2026>"errrrmmm.... maybe we should try to make an mmo teehee" (after everything else failed)They are like a clock to time the market wrong.
Everyone and their mother would pick Demacia or Noxus for generic fantasy playing. Maybe the few Piltover/Zaun fans left after Arcane season 2 ended up being dogshit will play their city.I for one will be going either Targon for divinity shenanigans or Bilgewater because pirates are cool.
>>748770558EVERYONE will play Ionia because weebs gonna fucking weeb. Guaranteed.
>>748769830lol everything leads to them making a deadlock clone riot just gotta accept they are successful when they copy valve because they understand how to make valve games more digestible the riot mmo will fail no one is truly asking for more mmos
The current lore is so assfuck retarded that an MMO is unpalatable. They're racing Blizzard for most faggy lore award.
>>748769830Anyone with a functioning brain could have told you 2XKO was going to flop yet Riot didnt see anything wrong with it. Expecting these guys to make an MMORPG let alone one that isnt complete dogshit has less probability than us finding out there is a multiverse. The current director for the game is one of the leads that worked on ME:Andromeda.
>>748770783It's probably why they tested the WASD mode, leaguelock is inevitable
>>748769830Yeah so did the Fightan game apparently.
Knowing Riot they will build some Nexon-tier Korean style MMO and not what people actually crave.
>>748770395The restart happened 4 years ago in late 2022, same time they looked in to buying Ashes of Creation.
>>748774265What do people even crave?If it's another treadmill theme park people will get bored for it not being WoW or FFXIV.If it's a sandbox it'll get 100 players max.If it's a PVPfest it'll just be another Amazon MMO.
>>748774796Judging by dev posts and job listings, it's likely some sort of Sandbox, maybe a hybrid Themepark+Sandbox, but Riot employees have straight up called it a "sandbox world" and job listings say it's a player driven world which is terminology generally only used for sandbox games.
>>748769938There is still hope that they cancel it
>>748769830Hope it bombs like their fighting game.
>>748775014Nah, let it bomb so Riot can lose more money
>>748769908depends on how juicy the yordles i can create are
It's a big risk for the Chinese money funding them, I'd be willing to take that risk too if in their position. Nobodies ever lost due to wasting commies' money and if it ever succeeds they can just get the US gov to forced them to sell off Riot to some rabbi approved Americans.
>>7487698307 years of development soon to be 8. The only way I can see it not bombing is if they decided to make a good combat system work. If they just decided for tab target wow clone slop I'm dipping.But if they go out of their way to make their unique take then that's also bad since most of their unique takes in game genres are not good at all. See Valorant, 2XKO, LoR.Also Vanguard is a huge deal breaker.
>>748779491They should make it with a ton of classes and treat it like they're releasing champions. Few abilities with a high skill ceiling for each class.
>>748769830>Riot says an MMO is their dreamOne mediocre mmo is like a retirement plan for a lot of these people. You only need to get it right once, and then you have a few generations of people playing it well into their retirement home years because it's that addictive.
>>748770558To be fair Demacia and Noxus aren't really "generic" if you check the loreThey seem like generic "good nation" and "evil nation" but there's more complexity than that. Demacia is more like a totalitarian state with a huge hate boner against magic, Noxus in comparison is more fair as they just greatly respect strength and military dominance
i cannot imagine anything more boring than an MMOi hate that none of these devs ever try to make a singleplayer game where you play as one character or some shit
>>748769830These motherfuckers spent 10 YEARS unable to make a fighting game and yet they're trying to do an infinitely more complex MMO
>>748781487MMO's are just for people who want a online game you can play long-term and kind of chill out while your XP bar goes up
>>7487698302weeksKO
>>748769908This, why would any die hard wow/ffxiv player with 20k hours would switch over to riots mmo?
>>748781618>Dood, just copy world of warcraft. How hard can it be?Them probably.
>>748781713People were playing every new mmo in the golden age of f2p mmos
>>748775002>player driven worlddoa
>>748781765>age of f2p mmos20 years ago, yes. But the vast majority of those games were trash and filled with trash.
>>748769830>But fuck it, let's go
>>748769908that’s wrong. all MMOs are in a bad state and players are constantly ebbing and flowing daily. it’s not going to get 5m active concurrent subs but it doesn’t need to
>>748781836>OUTTA MY WAY BLIZZARD FUCKING SHITS
>>748781713That's why they shouldn't try to cater to WoW/FF14 themepark players. Make a Sandbox MMO instead. Sandbox games are huge with games like Minecraft, Roblox, GTA Online, etc. yet Western MMOs are stuck perpetually in the cycle of "let's copy WoW for the 128509 time!" so we just get themepark after themepark.
>>748769908Wrong
>>748781829Honestly, I agree. I would argue the only F2P MMO's you can have fun with for a bit are Warframe and PooE, and even then they throw tons of grind at people who refuse to pay. All the "free" MMO's I played over the years were basically just WoW bootlegs.If you're an adult there's just no point in playing any "F2P" mmo when FF14 or WoW give you better content for a cheap monthly sub
>>748781867That's copeWoW and FF14 still have tons of users and there's still thousands who play PooE or GoyframeIf anything it's difficult for a new MMO to find success because like mentioned before people are more likely to turn to the well known names with reputation and kids already get their online gaming fix from online co-op games, friendslop, roblox or whatever
>>748782372those things aren’t mutually exclusive. almost every mmo launches with enough players to survive, they just can’t retain them.
>>748769830Let me predict what they are going to do and what is going to happen>make wow clone>its massively popular for first month>people realize its just like wow but without the charm>huge scandal about how riots automated report/ban system is banning people for saying mean words despite chat system already censoring mean words because riot is insanely orwelian about "toxicity" >most people go back to wow because why play a wow clone when you can play wow>game dies the same way new world dies.
>>748783024dumb niggers still don t understand no AAA studio is going to do tab combat? so it can t be a wow clonebesides that you also don t know anything about how new world diedfucking casual
tab target gods eating good
>>748774796Like Runescape, but better.
>>748769830It was the grail in 2006 maybe, not in 2026
>>748783237bro you are so retarded.
>>748783237The Riot MMO isn't going to be tab, they've said it's "cutting edge action combat" in past job listings.
list of good game riot make:
>>748769908I disagree. New MMOs like Lost Ark and New World break records but fail to retain players. People want an MMO, just not a linear treadmill themepark. Everybody wants a living world, and MMOs are the most true to that. The social identity of thousands of players in a persistent world is greater than other genres. Motivation (fun) was solved in 1985. Just design and advertise this. How could WoW or FF compete?See Self Determination Theory (pictured).1/2
>>748786981>le action RPG MMOConfirmed as DOA.
Rolling a noxian mage so I can insert myself into the black rose academy storyline that eventually progresses into Rell vs Mordekaiser cinema when the raid releases
>>748787198People can predict what's fun if they know what to look for. This is perhaps #1 of things studios could do to get and retain players. Do you really think people don't want to play an MMO? Why are you on 4chan? An MMO is like a Discord where you can team up and fight a dragon. An MMO is like a Discord where you share a daydream.
>>748769908I don't want to play WoW derivative #1728417 or Runescape. I want someone to actually take advantage of the genre and do something new, which Riot absolutely won't btw.
>>748787198>>748787354>muh theoryYeah worked really well for the last 20 WoW killers.>b-but real MMOs have never been tried!Literally the communism of game sub-genres.
>>748769908>>748781713By this same logic how did 14 ever take off in the first place despite wow already existing?
Why aren't they making any single player games? They've got like 200 heroes to pick up, a lot of them would make for some cool shitThere's some ancient ass league hero ports for risk of rain 2 and even with the glitchy messes they are, they're pretty kino to play
I have no faith, but I'm so desperate for a good MMO I'll wait for it anyway.
>>748769830Who would ever buy into any of Riot's side projects ever again? They killed all of them that required upkeep, sometimes in a year, sometimes in a few months.
>>748787983>Why aren't they making any single player games?They already made one or two, right? They're way less profitable than a successful live service.
>>748787983they did but no one cared
>>748787983found a better picturetake the fact that you've never heard these being shilled as a sign of how they performed
>>748787751xiv's best expansion + wow's worst expansion + the blizzard allegations + hating wow was popular
>>748769830Does anyone trust the creators of League of Legends, Valorant, and 2XKO to make a good MMO? It'll be such a deeply monetized skinner's box from the finest minds of Chinese business that you'll taste onions sauce every time you log in.
>>748788378I've literally never seen any of these pop up anywhere, did they even market any of it? With how many people play league, valorant and tft surely they could've gotten decent sales on some of these
>>748788378These evoke the same feeling as tie in flash or mobile games in 2000s
>>748788486>onions sauceGoddamned filter.
>>748787660>Yeah worked really well for the last 20 WoW killers.The only game I've heard have anywhere near scientific development is EVE.>Literally the communism of game sub-genres.What A+ sandbox MMO have we had in the last 20 years?
>>748787751XIV launched initially in 2010 and unfucked itself in a relaunch in 2013, which is a bit late but still within the range of the golden age of MMOs.
>>748787354>>748787198You're right but most studios would never (and probably could never) invest the huge amount of capital, time and talent it would take to make a "real" mmo. Part of the issue in fighting WoW is its over 20 years entrenched and that means 20+ years of cumulative funding and dev time behind its position. For me, personally, all it would take for me to have a truly great MMO experience is essentially TERA with FFXIV job system, life killing and social aspects
>>748769830>LET'S MAKE A TRANNY GAMEgood luck kike you'll need it
its gonna be ai slop
>>748788863What A+ MMO have we had in the last 20 years?
Give it hot bun girls and im in
>>748787983They tried and gave up.
>>748769830>an MMO in 2026Insanely retarded. These fags have been stuck in a stagnant genre for almost 2 decades and clearly haven't peeked out their window to see that MMO's are just as dead as ASSFAGGOTS.I'm sure it'll be just as successful as that fighting game they tried to make.
>>748789825Lost Ark. New World.
