>>2351829>minecraft
>>2351840yeah
>>2351810i thought you were talking about foxhole for a while there but thats only because the game is nosediving on that exact same trajectorypersistent war mmos just dont work, war games just tend to attract the type of retards who want quick and easy glory and never want to put any effort into anything everits a niche specific genre for manchilds, games like ffxiv/wow/osrs might be degenerate pozzed hellholes, but at least people there put in the elbow grease to keep it alive and friendly
>>2351810MMO's in general seem to be in a bad place. People say it's the expense, but IDK how hard it is to make a fun game. Maybe no video game is supposed to keep your interest past a few years.In regards to other faction clans shitting on you, I think that's kinda to be expected. You're really competing with each other for the best players. When my guild was heavily involved in PvP we had more friends on the other faction than in our own.Btw, the medieval Planetside 2 aka Gloria Victis is coming back next week in an Open Beta if you are looking for a similar kind of game. New ownership is trying to revive after the original owners ran out of money apparently.
>>2352300>In regards to other faction clans shitting on you,It might seem like I'm bothered by that but I'm not. It was kino. I'm just sincerely missing the experience.
