Any one here playing this shit? Is it worth $15 to try it out?
>>750230043I interact regularly with a small time streamer and friends who play this game and all they ever do is sit in a single spot killing the same mobs over and over againluckily they're good people to talk shit with from the chat box because otherwise I probably would have unfollowed
>>750230043I enjoyed it but I'm anti-social so it's not for me since you need a group to get past level 4.
it looks pretty awful, and i say that as someone who is basically the target audience for a game like this. also>early access>requires a monthly sublmao
After my first death farming in group content, and the corpse run for it, I decided right then and there I didn't have the patience for this game. Swiftly unsubbed.
>>750230043EQ and M&M come from a time where the gameplay was slow, chat was fast, and you had a t.v. on in the background.
>>750230043this form of the genre is too dated. talking to people online is not a new concept anymore. there are much better grinding sims
I am.Level 12 goblin ranger solo leveling so far. I love it. I want to try monk next but not really interested in the races that can be monk.
>>750230043The input lag is atrocious. If you put your characters on Trem, the most populated server, it is bad. I have counted a full 5 seconds from pushing a button until the action happens on screen. I like the idea of the game but it isn't that great at this point in time. 15 dollars isn't too bad to try it for a month though.
If you like EQ1, like REALLY like EQ1, as it was around launch, this may be up your alley.But, the economy is already turbofucked, there were lots of dupes and exploits the first 2 weeks and it went largely unchecked, or the perpetrators got slaps on the wrist.The gameplay itself is pretty standard. target shit, pull shit, kill shit, sit to recover. The community looks exceptionally large right now, 30k+ subscribers, but there's likely to be an enormous falloff next week when the first month rolls over. Not like the game's "dead", it'll probably just settle at 5k-10k where it will stabilize by end of year.Tradeskills are pretty fun and there are a good handful of secret recipes that only a few people have figured out, but the relatively miniscule amount of items in the game make it pretty simple to just guess.Classes are pretty bog standard stuff. Really disappointed that necros are AGAIN single pet, no one wants to let necros live out the army fantasy, but I understand why from a balance perspective. There are a few classes that can solo quite well to the low-mid 20s, but after that pretty much everyone has to start grouping. The game isn't old enough for true metaslavery to have begun, but it'll get there, there are very clear superior choices for classes.I can't recommend it for $15/mo, I think the devs have stated intent to have free weekends still, as they did when it was indev, so maybe give one of those a try. It's just not worth that full sub price, not yet.>>750235506Yeah the servers are completely and utterly fucked. That one I will defend them on, they were expecting a few thousand players spread across all regions, they ended up with a few thousand in the underdocks and NH lmao.
>>750230043>sit in a single spot killing the same mobs over and over againThis is the gameplay I came for
>>750230043It's neat, but it's an overly nostalgic recreation of early Everquest. It's basically made by the sort of people who think WoW ruined everything. So they think that having shit like a map or a mailbox or any kind of organized in-game economic system is a bridge too far and the game consists of standing around in a circle killing the same mobs over and over again just like in the good old days. And all the dungeons are open world, which might seem cool until you realize that having your dungeons be open world doesn't actually add anything in a PvE game and it means that the """dungeon""" experience is just standing around in a circle killing the same mobs over and over again, but in a fucking cave this time.Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a lot of neat things about Monsters and Memories, but its completely hampered by this nostalgiafag bullshit.
the PVP was a fucking hilarious disaster. wizards are so disgustingly busted. Spellblades are a very close second. Clerics third just for their fucking RNG 800 damage crits.
>killing mobs in a single spotMight as well play black desert online with a vastly superior combat. That being said 30k subs is genuinely impressive.
My favorite thing was that "wholesome" streamer playing for like 3 days and getting trained on pretty much nonstop while he was live till he ragequit after hyping it up as "the next big thing" for 2 weeks.
