There's still time to put in your vote for puzzle pirates, bros.
minigame doko
got prison tales and puzzle pirates both setup only a few more hours left and puzzle pirates is close to winning
>>2467311REEEEE DONT EARLY PLAY IT
>>2465511I missed it all and thats why I want it to win the replay. I wanna be an Ithorian Entertainer and give you all lap dances.
Puzzle Pirates getting cucked into second place for the fourth or fifth time would be really funny. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
>>2467752Im not Im playing poker right now. I just like getting the games setup early because the settings are always jank and they were for both PT and PP
It's happening bros.
most underwhelming 2 weeks coming right up
YARR MATIES
moist swashbuckling 2 weeks coming arr-ight up
GUYS DON'T VOTE FOR PUZZLE PIRATES THE PUZZLE PIRATES GUY CAN'T FUCKING PLAY IT THIS WEEK
>>2468444that was a different puzzle pirates guy it wasn't THE puzzle pirates guy. we are many
argh maties get ready to set sail and clean up da poop deck
>tfw was looking forward to being a rapist in prison tales>now have to steal booty in puzzle pirates
someone RIGHT NOW needs to play early and get narrow/proficient in all puzzles to make a crew or we'll not be able to communicate
>>2468513Done.
>>2468513deal but after the next hour I can't play until monday :)
>>2468513it's not every puzzle actually
>>2468499its 'priston' tales, not prison
>>2468513wasnt the guy who advocated for it saying he was going to buy a big ship for all of us to play on?
>>2468691its forever prison tales now
>>2468444The Puzzle Pirates guy who was gonna lend us the ship can't play it but the other Puzzle Pirates guy can
>>2468513We have a couple with pre-established characters already.Question is, what Ocean are we playing on?
>>2469072emerald, it's the most populated of the free oceans. the other you need to be subscribed to join
>>2469072Emerald is the only playable dubloon ocean. The others are either subscription or completely dead.I have a character that can make the crew.
how do you check which ocean youre on?
I only like 2 out of the puzzles and all the others give me heartburn so I'll only be bilging and rumble/swordfighting
>>2469132When you go to character select screen it should say under it
>>2469081>>2469087Would there even be players on subscriber oceans? Any game that has a subscriber only server is usually absolutely dead because by default the free to play server has more people and you wanna be where the most people are.
>>2469135Im glad someone will do bilging, I personally hate those puzzles. swordfighting is fun and I like sailing since its the most like tetris
>>2469135Its been a while but I remember liking rigging so I will be an absolute rigger
>>2469135Most people end up specializing in a puzzle because its easier to get good at one thing rather than all of them. I absolutely hate navigating and I can't do carpentry for the life of me but I love sailing. There will be a mix of rumble and swordfighting as we go.>>2469141There's some players on it but I don't know how many, it's not a lot though. Subscriber oceans don't work for this project though so it's disqualified from the start anyway.
>>2468499Fuck I was unironically excited to try Priston as well
>>2469145oh wait no my absolute favorite is carpentry. ill do that if no one else will. everyone should probably learn swordfighting im guessing \>>2469155is there a crew yet?
>>2469171We don't start officially playing until tomorrow after pictures are done for London. We also need to vote on a crew name and there's not a poll up for that yet.
>>2469167it did look quite fun but been looking forward to puzzle pirates as well
Walk the Poll: https://poal.me/r1abgxhttps://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Crew
Puzzle Pirates Bros.. we finally did it.
>Puzzle Pirates wins around the time the Puzzle Pirates anon stops posting
Hey I have another name idea but you can only suggest one so can someone also suggest "Sea's Closed" in the poll for me, thanks
Reminder you can also name your ship, so that'll need to be another poll.
>>2469419The ship renames need to be approved by GMs and come with a lot of restrictions. It also costs Rogue Marks (which you can buy from other players) so we would need funds for that as well.https://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Official:Services/Ship_renaming_rules
is there pvp? we need to become the most feared ship on the open seas
Just in case, ship name poll: https://poal.me/iaimci
>>2469676Numerals aren't allowed in ship names.>>2469533
Ok, niggers wut puzzle pirates server are we playing, official?
>>2469711Official, Emerald Ocean.
>>2469719Why official when Puzzle Pirates Replanked pserver exists?
wew, this game sucks ass. Are you faggots intentionally rigging for the shittiest games available?
>>2468444>>2468455yeah I've shilled for puzzle pirates and been called le puzzle pirate schizo before, almost like you socially retarded faggots aren't as good at recognizing posters as you think
the ironingall of you puzzle pirate faggots are annoying as fuck
glad this slop is finally out of the way
>>2469873>t. rigger
>only 1 week off>enough to play a cool forgotten MMO with /v/ frens.>This week they will play the shittiest game ever.i hate you.
game looks fun as fuck and is for the little I played. anons shit on hellgate initially and everyone seemed to enjoy that lets give puzzle pirates an actual chance. might not have the best graphics but icarus did and that game was complete dogshit that had everyone quit 3 days in
>>2470031icarus had the ugliest visuals i've seen in a game ngl
>>2470031There will be grumblers for every game we play. Most of the games that win the polls are barely 50% of the votes with it being people's fourth or fifth choice.
>>2470031>might not have the best graphicsfuck you anon I think it looks very comfy
>check out spiritvale since it's been a few weeks>entire server list is either SEA or AUS>literally one NA serverso fucking sick of seamonkeys. give me the brazilians, not these cunts
>>2470031>>2469873REEEE STOP EARLY PLAYING
Game 52 Finals are over.The winner and the next game for the MMOdventure is...Puzzle Pirates!results link:https://www.rcv123.org/results/Hx4mWwgWPrPp2Fgrwg9Jqq2q/
>>2470031hellgate was dogshit thoughbeit
reading a bit more and it seems baghlah would be best for us, it would also be really good to have a sloop for when only a few people are online
>>2470519ooof
>account deactivated for inactivitykill faggot games/sites that do this fuck you forever
>>2470932This is the ship the one anon said he would provide the dubloons for so all of us could play together on one ship
>>2470932I've been trying to buy a bagh but no one is selling a pre-made one. I think I'll have to have it built. I was able to pick up a war frigate so everyone will be able to play at the start and we can figure out what ship fits us best after.The frigate came an absolutely cursed name though. So get ready for that.
>>2472157You'll have some time, a lot of day one will probably be people working with the Navy in order to learn the puzzles etc.
What time are we officially starting?
>>24729057pm est
>>2470222they're more like region based channels you can swap to at any time rather than true servers
>>2466551Puzzle Pirates /v/ thread.>>>/v/739021154>>>/v/739021154>>>/v/739021154>>>/v/739021154
>>2473344Made the crew. To join either send me a tell or when you make your character, click the notice board, go to the events tab and find an event happening on admiral island (there will be a lot) and whisk there. From there click the top right to access the map and go to the palace under government buildings, it'll be easy to meet up there.
I dunno if to use my old pirate from years ago or start anew. My old one doesn't have much but he has some proficiency skills which might help, thing is I need to relearn all the puzzles because I forgot.
>>2473381Proficiency and experience don't make your score higher or lower or anything. It may make you start on more difficult puzzles though. You're fine to use your old pirate if you want or start a new one.
going to play some poker than hop on puzzle pirates.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Apocrea event on Spiral Knights from now till the 25th by the way.It's just sidegrades to Acheron and Sentenza (and, for the first time in a long time, an added Costume Shield from normal gameplay), but if you're missing them it might be worth to hop on.
>>2473370im at the palace, shit is emptier than my love life.
>>2473370>>2473821We've moved to pillaging, send a tell to honeyapps and I'll get you an invite directly to the vessel.
>>2468499Pirates weren't exactly un-rapey, anon.
Ship's docked at port for now. Most people are taking a break.If you want to play more, check out the navy missions if you want to practice puzzles or the voyages tab and apply to job for a crew and earn some money.Thanks for coming lads.We'll get better next time.
>>2473924If this game has two weeks of content I'll be really surprised. This seems more like mini-game tier. I don't really think it'll be fun for me unless we can get a big group together again
For whenever our ship isn't voyaging but you still wanna play>Click Ye>Click Notice Board>Click missions for Navy missions which are the NPC missions and if you complete them you get money>Click Voyages to find player ran voyages, ask to join their ship and you're off
>>2473926> If this game has two weeks of content I'll be really surprised. I think I've seen everything I wanted from this game. Holy shit what a horrible pick
prison tale or latale woulda been good
>>2473933This is why we need people to last minute rig.Examples of other last minute rigs:>Hellgate London>WakfuExamples of non rig wins:>Riders of Icarus
>>2473926Yeah its more of a social game than anything you'll find most people playing Poker or Dice or the Drinking games really. There is some more challenging and varied stuff later on like Sea Monsters hunting, Expeditions which are basically their versions of dungeons, Boss Sword fights, Treasure Hunting etc. and of course pvp plundering But it's grindy to get there, having to find the maps that lead you there.
>>2473958Wakfu was really fun, hellgate is kinda whatever. Lobby based games are boring imo. I'm still surprised icarus ending up beating latale last minute
Probably jumped the gun at doing a voyage this early, I felt a little thrust into the deep end and probably should have done the tutorial and first couple of missions first. It got easier once the boat was downscaled but pretty confusing at first.
>>2473968Generally whatevers in the lead never wins, second place always sneaks up. I also think people are looking for something other than generic weeb games at this point as they're a little samey at this point. Though I think it's been enough time that we can do another and it'll feel fresh.
our ships
Looks like there's a governing system.
Icarus bros we can't stop winning!
what did he mean by this
>>2473973Problem is: They're all like that because they work really well in multiplayer when you have lots of people.
Three shit games in a row.
>>2474076I just wanna play decent mmos man. Thought I was going to hate toontown but it was actually pretty fun. Iris online I thought it was going to be complete dogshit but it was okay enough(still kinda dog because server owner thinks a private server should be p2w as hell) on the other hand icarus which should have been good on paper was complete dogshit. Icarus was fun for all of 10 minutes, Hellgate was fun for like 2 hours before it got ultra repetitive. Puzzle pirates was fun for about 30 minutes. Honestly even bad games are funny when people show up but people just end up ghosting for 2 weeks and it basically puts the project on ice till the next vote
>>2474140Why we should stop putting meme games in the vote. I don't want to play Puzzle Pirates so I won't. And I probably won't want to play the next meme game someone rigs to win either.
>>2474147I think if people show up it can still be fun, it's that people vote these games and then they don't even play it. Besides showing up the Saturday pictures and that's a maybe. Then we're cucked for 2 weeks
>>2474147nigga these are all meme gamesthey're all shit that's why they're all deadget over yourself
>>2474076Hellgate was fun, we had lots of anons playing daily
PP is not a bad game, but it doesn't fit the scope of our project, game needs everyone to show up to be fun, if you miss the initial batch with all the anons getting a ship, sailing and parking, you are done, everything that remains is travelling with boring NPC shields since all the players have their shit parked in taverns nowadays.The endgame content looks fun from what I gathered, but there is literally no way we can get there in 2 weeks, so the whole game feels wasted
>>2474166Some of us do i stuck with hellgate and that game got better the longer it went. I'll stick with puzzle pirates cause its unique then its back to tab target fantasy mmorpg number 446645 im sure. 30 minutes into a game you've barely gotten into it. I just fought vampires with another crew tonight. Id like the guild to also get ranked on it. Iris online and icarus both had guild rankings on their website we should try and get on those how cool would that be
I entered the current date as the birth date when creating the character and now I can't play because I'm not old enough. Am I fucked?
this is a lot harder than i expected
>>2474140You missed Wakfu!
>>2474368Exactly, we're not gonna be playing WoW classic or OSRS any time soon
>>2474848You can join mid-voyage at least, but yeah there's still sailing with other players in the mean time, just tell anons what ship you're on.And you just join a ship that's doing the end game content, people are nice enough to let you join I did some treasure expeditions earlier.
>>2474917The first puzzle of the game
>>2474368A lot of them are good games that still died for some reason or another unrelated to their quality.
>>2474166>Besides showing up the Saturday pictures and that's a maybe. Thats what some people are looking for hence why the games with the best character creators win. And the weeb games where they can make anime girls.
>>2475399>weeb games where they can make anime girlsnothing wrong with that as long as you're aren't trying to ERP with everyone like that one time
>>2475061late stage patching is one of the most frustrating things to play. I hope there are items to slow down the clock. I was getting masterful patch when it was early stage but later stages when it introduces bells and stop blocks and yarns that go in 3-4 different directions it becomes such a pain and the clock is only like 30 seconds for you to figure it all out
>>2474166Games like this tend to be popular with non mmodventure regulars and more popular with those in the /v/ thread because its nostalgia for them. Same happened with Toontown.
/tmute to turn off trade chat spam
game for fucking ants
>>2477007Unfortunately this game feels like actual cock and ball torture for anyone who's never play this before trying to read or navigate this game
why was a minigame-game chosen as a two week mmo?
>>2477007there is an option to scale the UI right therebetter than eldevin that didn't even have that
>>2477120it makes the ui too big, makes most windows barely usable
idk if i have the patience for this game. the puzzles are starting to make me really fucking mad. fucking bullshit ass swords cutting through my tetris even when im playing perfect. and you need a thesis on how to sail because how the fuck do you build combos on that when the blocks are affected by gravity. I cant do it anymore im done after 1 day
>>2477305Brainlet
>>2477305>idk if i have the patience for this game. the puzzles are starting to make me really fucking mad. fucking bullshit ass swords cutting through my tetris even when im playing perfect. It's the teaming system, if you notice during sword fighting, each person has dots next to their name, the dots signify who's targeting you when you hover over them. You have to do the same by clicking an enemy portrait. The way to win portraits is to gang up on them so they have multiple dots, as that introduces things such as the swords cutting through. The way to stop the swords is eliminate the one doing it to you.
>>2477305The swords are opponents attacking you. You're doing the same to them. When you clear a big block, you send a sword to the person you're targetting.Gravity affecting sailing is how you make the combos in that. When you place the next double blue above those top two blues, they'll clear and drop the gold into the target, which gives you a double. You want to get all of your stuff to cascade into clearing other things.
>>2477340thus why i go by every iteration of tard >>2477349the thing about sailing is it seems it wants you to cascade blocks into other blocks so you get the double bonus to raise your sails. I do get that once you connect the 4 blues the yellows will be complete. if you get lucky and get all the colors you need right away your sails seemingly stay low even then because you didnt get any doubles. if you need a yellow/blue yellow/blue sometimes you get a white/blue i just cant process what to do in that instance because one part has what i need but the part is on top and the incorrect is on bottom
Holla holla get dolla
>>2477406Same, its why every MMO with a class system I go for the "rush in, hit things" class
>>2477096Because other than that there was very VERY light shilling for priston tale.
>>2477417I liked it better when I thought it was called Prison Tale
Puzzlepirates should be a thing we play during a minigame day...
>>2477624Agreed. This seems far more suited to a thing we go back to once in a while, for a single voyage, than a full 2 week thing.
Honestly this game is pretty comfy. I can see myself relaxing on this every night for half an hour to an hour. Just sailing with bros. The thing is I dunno if it suits the project and will last 2 weeks. Seems more like a dip in and out and enjoying the comfiness sort of thing.
>>2477717Yeah, I don't think it's just a one time minigame night thing as some people are saying but it's also not a 12 hour a day for 2 weeks game. It's in a weird middle ground where you'd want to get a group together to do one big voyage each day and then chill with some poker or play another game.
>>2477742I like the idea of puzzle pirates as a reoccuring minigame. Not like the minigame choices are that meaningful anyway people usually leave after a hour or so. At least here we can do a voyage everytime. As a main game it's a nah from me
>>2477742Yeah I've found myself wanting to do one big voyage with you guys, then a public voyage with a bunch of others, then I'm done for the day.
>>2477416same anon. any class that requires me to use my brain is out of question. why you will see me role the warrior or knight in every mmo we play>>2477624didnt agree at first now I do though the game is nice it doesnt seem to have a lot to do for 2 weeks. no level up progression, no gear progression (only seems to affect looks). maybe ill hop on and voyage once a day like the other anon said honestly playing this though really makes me want to play pirates of the caribbean online. too bad the only maximum ship on there is 6. they have a pretty active pserver community though
>>2478037there are levels thoughever
>>2478037A proper piratey MMO would be nice
>>2478063Do they do anything?
My summary so far, to elaborate on the stuff said in the /v/ thread:>It seems more like a social hangout game than an actual MMO>Not that its a bad thing, its good at what it does in that I socialized a lot but the gameplay aspect seems a little lacking>Its at its most fun when all of us are online, on a voyage and sailin the high scene, and beating other ships>Its fun but not as fun when I'm on random voyages jobbing for other ships, they do have more access to the deeper content like the expeditions and lairs and stuff. Which we're still grinding towards. So doing those was fun.>Its at its least fun when I'm doing shit alone, just repetitive navy missions or like lurking around wondering what to do.
>>2478154Also other things:>Community seems very nice, they are chatty and even when on islands, you'll stumble upon people playing poker or doing sword fight tournaments in the pub, and they'll include you.>The puzzle stuff all seems secondary really. Like even doing them on voyages yes it helps your ship and makes the bars go up but it doesnt even seem too needed, once the speed bar is full you can chill>Stuff like carpentry/patching seems only important post-combat>I think theres needs to be more emphasis on why I'm doing these puzzles and whats important about them, how am I progressing etc? Is there even progression>I think thats why Brawling and Sword fighting seem so important, because you beat other ships with it and get rewards.
>>2478099you start at higher difficulty levels instead of having to work your way up to them I believe
>>2478067I am almost certain we played a game just like this way back in the day with miniature pirate ships and the like.
am i late to join? i just got my chores done.
>>2478333Maybe Uncharted Waters Online? That sounds piratey.
There is no fucking way. Also, is equipment cosmetic only? or does it gives you stats that matters?
>>2478067pirates of the caribbean online would be really fun to play again and the maximum number of a crew is 12 not 6, but what we could do is run multiple ships on the same sea together and just blow everyone away. ships were costly when POTC was online though so idk if its changed with the pserver
>>2478376There was that but there was another Koreaslop MMO where you did grinding on land to increase your land level and then did grinding on the water in a miniature ship to increase your sailing level. Now that I describe it, it sounds like uncharted waters , but I assure you it's not. It was one of the last MMOs I ever saw on MMOHut, let me see if I can find screenshots of it.
>>2478449Only swords matter everything else is cosmetic.
>>2478500Again? Damn was it done before? You guys sure do like your pirates.
>>2478517Oh I think I know exactly what you're talking about because I remember that Worst MMO Ever Youtube series doing a video on it.
>>2478531no just meaning I played it when it was live and would like to again. its still on the future mmodventure list
>>2478517Tales of Pirates
>>2478536Ohh I see. Yeah I'd like to play it. May as well cover all the pirate MMOs.
>>2466551I hope to join in for one. I just have a feeling it will be one ive actually played, though probably not in years.
Also, how are these threads so fast? usually things i take interest in especially on smaller boards are near dead at times. I thought MMOs were dead too or people basically just gravitate to WoW and other threads and don't have time for shit like thisI guess thats what you call a community.
>>2478607Thats the case for a lot of them for some of us anyways.
>>2478617they're slow as shit man, they get a small burst of actibity when a new game starts but otherwise its pretty quietmmos outside of the few big ones are kinda dead but there's a ton of people who crave for games that aren't those since they're stale as fuck at this point
>>2478542That's the oneAdd it to the pile
listening to solomun set and puzzle pirating we chilling boys
>>2478720Comfy game for sure. Already ordered myself a new hat with the pieces of eight.
>>2478738Don't forget you need to pay the dubloon delivery fee if you didn't factor that in already. You can also buy clothes off of racks in the shops that is already premade but you won't get to pick the colour and it may be pre-worn.
>>2478697We played it already, it was a terrible disaster

If you don't have this achievement don't even try to fuck with me because you are small fry
haven't played this in two years. i'm... i'm gonna puzzleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
joining the super huge boats with 10000 bots and 50 afks sucks dick, get like half as much money as on a small boat
>>2479702Yeah you need to hit the sweet spot of the boat is big enough to hit the higher level brigands but active enough that the distribution is fair. Yesterday I got a captain who was very generous and I was hitting 600 pieces per raid. Then he'd actually do the expedition maps he was getting.
>>2479083It's HER turn!
hopefully tomorrow I'll finally have enough to have my shitty sloop finally deliveredfucking bizarre for the delivery fee to cost several times as much as the ship itself

>>2480222rigger
>>2480247Its how they get people to keep grinding the gameplay loop
The dubloon grind is not as bad as I expected
just found this thread through your crew description and recognised it as a general, don't browse this board but i play ypp actively thought i'd drop in. would be funny if you guys caded an island or ran a sea monster hunt
>>2481757I think a sea monster hunt is not out of the cards, but a barricade is, people won't be around long enough to even be able to get ships to contribute.
Gonna play this gay ass old crusty pirate gayme right now
My first time navigating ended up with 2 wins and 3 losses and the boat rapidly sinking as we just made it to our destination.Nailed it.
>>2481757>>2481799You gotta get the badges for it, but the grind for them doesnt seem too hard. One or two voyages and some trinket sales.
>>2481853That victory at the end, despite the ship falling apart while half-sunk, was very satisfying.
>>2481884Sword fighting was the two wins and brawling were the three losses too so I definitely think we're better at sword fighting. Next time I'm gonna make it pursue Brigands only. We're on the medium boat right now.
Thankfully getting dubloons is really easy and not too grindy in this game. So I'm buying a ton of badges, will buy the tradeable ones.I think sea monster hunting will be possible for sure.
>>2481799>>2481949atlantis is kind of hard right now and you need to know how to battle nav it properly - it's also gatekept by the ""top"" flags of the ocean (because it produces so much money) so good chance if you attempt atlantis they'll try to fuck you overhaunted seas is easier but you need a war brig at least, might need to rely on randomscursed isles you should probably run it with a sloop, need to be good @ ship puzzles though and have a good battle navigator - also you should be at least decent at foraging if you want good loot.for those who don't know also, you /can/ sink in sea monster hunts, and your ship goes into a bottle and you need to pay pretty much full price to repair it>>2481893you can hold the button to create a "charged" version of the colour which will not pop the colour on 3+ - to create combos like swordfighting you need to stack them and pop multiple at once to send punches to the opponentalso i'd suggest you guys do /global-on and /trade-on to enable global and trade chats if you haven't already - might be helpful to buy cheap second hand ships, clothing, maps or whatever else you guys are looking for
>average voyage>get a named NPC>bnav sucks nut and they end up half way across the map and ragequitgod damn, wasted like 45 mintues so far out of 5 hours playing, this is awful.I can even forgive you retards cause you're new but god damn trying to get some cash and these people are ASS.
Is there advice for how to do the puzzles?It feels like the different games have different methods of success. I never seem to get above fine at anything but bilging, no matter how well I do.
>>2482305The metric is weighted to the entire ocean. What is a "Fine" now could easily have been "Excellent" when the game was newer. You're probably doing a decent job but the game is old and people have become very good at the puzzles.Also there's been many bots over the years that have skewed everything further.
>>2482336I thought the weighting was only for the RANKS on the skills, not the performance itself?If it is, that makes more sense I guess. Still feels like shit.
>>2482342The performance has been affected for sure. Just focusing on 3x3 breaks in bilging used to get me Excellent/Incredible consistently but now it struggles just to get the indicator to yellow.But if I do a single decent sea-donkey its shining for 5 minutes straight.So it's possible they changed how scoring works for bilging.But my opinion is that it's generally much harder to hit Excellent (for any puzzle) than it used to be.The color indicator is accurate to what performance you'll get.As for advice, you're probably better off trying to master a single puzzle. Videos go a long way.
>>2482358is the meta still to get to sparkle/shine and then afk till it drops?
*notices bilge* uwu what's this
>>2482377Probably
>>2482358Doing 3x3 still can get you excel incredible but the rule of thumb is if it takes more than 3 moves to get a 3x3, 4 moves for bingo 5 for donkey, 6 for I forget the final reward after donkey
>>2482505It's likely that I'm just a lot more shit now than I think :^)
>>2482509My bad in my wording. 3 moves or less for a 3x3 4-5 for a bingo, 5-6 for a donkey. Strive for the least amount of moves possible working from the bottom of the board up.
I'm starting to like this more, its quite addictive.
>>2482525Why bottom up? Don't you have a higher chance to see a combo if you go from the top down? e.g. if you clear a 3-long horizontal line in the bottom row, you move 3 blocks to new positions (the 3 new blocks coming in to replace the ones you cleared). If you cleared at same line in the row second from the bottom, you'd move 6 blocks to new positions (the three new ones and the three that need to move up to fill the gap you left). More blocks in new positions = more chances for combos, right?
Feels like Sailing/Rigging are the only ship puzzles it matters to tryhard at, bilge and damage seems to always be at 0 as long as the station is manned at all even if the guy there is getting "booched".
>>2482631Pretty much.You gotta do Nav/Sail/Rigging to get full speed, once you're at full speed you can chill. Patch, Carp and Bilge don't matter if its empty. Only if you wanna level them. When you're in battle all of them matter as they contribute to how much the ship can move in battle.Post battle, you gotta patch/carp until the red bar goes down, to reduce damage, and bilge until the blue bar goes down to prevent sinkage. Then once it's down it's all good.
>>2482574It's easier to set yourself up for donkey and vegas higher up
>>2482651>not tryharding so hard you mald even when the bar is full and you arent very goodIt's like you dont even care
>>2482651Carpentry and Patching shine during pvp and BAKA/Cursed Isle runs other than that they can definitely be slacked off on.

Maybe even Troontown again
I posted a review on Hellgate: London on the altervista site, it doesn't show up in the review section but if I try to post it again I get a duplicate post error.
>>2486495fixed
>[Sad News] Closers is shutting down it's global server.Press S.
>>2487442No idea what that game is, but as someone working on Dragon's Dogma Online's server project, record as much gameplay footage and capture as much network traffic as you conceivably can. Back up client files and archive wikis. Even a little bit of this stuff goes a long way and anyone wanting to do a private server will tear their hair out over the shit they forgot to archive.>>2486082>Dragon's Dogma OnlineI forget when you guys did DDON, but know that our development has been a little slow since last October or so. Both me and the other main dev have had a combination of life stuff and burnout, so we're stalled at Episode 3.1 (live service ended at 3.4). I dunno if you guys played enough to get to that point, though.
>>2487639Most of us didn't even hit episode 2, maybe one or two even got 70+.
>>2487442RIP.>>2487639Closers already has fully functional private servers, had them before the global version even launched.

>>2488377Same plus SWG and Wakfu, but Wakfu wasn't too long ago so maybe its too soon.
I swear to god, if we play Phantasy Star one more time

>>2485852RaiderZ bros not like this...
>>2488377I voted for warhammer because I missed out on it.
alle status?
>>2485852man Ferentus being almost rock bottom is surprising. that was one of the shining hidden gems of the mmodventure for me...
>>2489245I just voted it as my #3 or so. Definitely was a stand out experience, yeah. Would be nice to see it make it to top 8.
>>2489245>>2489266why?the only things i remember were the towns being incredibly large and emptygeneric questsgeneric combathaving to find the specific kind of spider instead of these 5 other kinds of spiders
>>2489391to me it was a proof of concept that returning to simple mechanics =! bad. the game had quests, yes, but they didn't hold your hand and you had to explore the world to get that bear ass. healing items were sparse so you had to take things slow and sit to heal. monsters were tough and aggro high so party play was pretty much a requirement. deathballing the map as a full party was kino. couple that with an effortful world and consistent art direction, decent music and a completely different worldmap and you have a surprisingly memorable experience.
>>2489391Granted the way we were received by the server owners/mods was extremely memorable, but a lot of it was venturing into this unknown title that had practically no information about it on the internet. It could've been absolute dogshit but it surprisingly got A LOT of things right, even if it was somewhat generic.. - The pacing was perfect in my opinion, not too many sidequests flooding your log, many that could be done in the same cluster area.- Combat/Latency felt decently responsive and involved, decent balance where it never felt like a slog nor a cakewalk.- The setting and monster design was super cozy too, felt like a proper medieval fantasy world. - Class fantasy was on point, had enough agency with putting stats/skills on your character even if the builds were pretty straight-forwards.- Allowed for goating, and had the perfect amount of kino jank for us to break the game out of bounds.- Intuitive UI / Menuing with stylish design to it. A lot of it reminded me of the MMO vidya you see represented in anime, but I never played a game prior to this one that looked or felt that way.Pretty old title too, likely not very high budget either, so I at least was very appreciative of how cohesive it all felt.That said, I don't know how good of a revisit it'd be since we've already sort of seen it all. It'd definitely be a great one for newer people to experience for a first time, but I imagine some of us would be spoiling it by spoonfeeding its quirks to them.
>>2489245>>2489417looks and sounds kino, what year is it originally from
>>2489417Questing being lethal goes a long way to making a boring grind more interesting. In modern games you could afk for 30 minutes while a monster hits you and still come back and kill it.
>>2489784it looks like the game launched around 2004 in Asia as Hercott, finally coming to US/EU in 2005 as Ferentus. it was advertised as some lineage clone with large scale PvP but the MMOd never got to that understandably. https://wiki.fhxrestoration.com/Servers_and_players>>2489626I wouldn't mind replaying the questline simply for how enjoyable I found it. other than a bit of goating, this was one of the titles enigmatic enough that a lot of it still remains unsolved, especially the mid-lategame and pvp aspects.>>2489806yeah it definitely adds some depth with positioning and utilizing ranged/tankier classes for pulls. having a healer is extremely useful here. just basic nice things like giving classes proper roles.
anyone have some Ferentus screenshots of when the admin made us Xbox hueg?
What was Star Wars like? All I know about is ominous whisperings of "the bog".
>>2490011I only got this from the mmodventure site
>>2490189I'm retarded and didn't even think about checking that. arigato, anon
>>2490189>Geschoss>LacanHope they're doing well, it's been a bit.
>>2490299a lot of niggas no longer playing i miss
how was warhammer online last time you anons played it? are people going to play their old characters or start over
scenarios were fun (instanced pvp)end game mass pvp was kinda a shitshow using old characters is gay
>>2490468you caused their departure
Islet Islet Islet!
>>2490824how'd you know i was vidoegaem?
why do people want islet again?you didn't even play the gameyou just want to sit in the tv room and erp again
>>2490825Raiderz should also win because that would be so awesomeFurthermore, its coolIn closing that would be pretty swellMy final thoughts are that a Raiderz win would be neat
>>2490482really boring
>>2490998RaiderZ might be kind of a hard sell for the old guard, since progression in that one is incredibly linear. Once you've been through the leveling climb once, you've seen most of what there is to see.That said, unlike other linear themeparks we've played, RaiderZ is heavily focused on party-play, which tends to be more enjoyable compared to just soloing together for two weeks. Plus we only ever gave RaiderZ Global a shot, and there IS that other server - Raiderz Revolution - featuring a faster leveling curve and content which otherwise went unfinished on the original client.Could be cool to give that second server a look, although since it wouldn't be a truly "Classic" experience, newcomers might not get the same sort of vibe with it that we did back in the day. Christ alive, has it seriously been nearly two full years since RaiderZ saved us from RF-Banana Hell? Insane.
>>2490182SWG is a sandbox, they just drop you in and tell you to fuck off. There's no character levels, you just get a limited amount of skill points you can spend in different skill trees that progress independently, so to unlock more shooting skills you need to shoot things etc.The most fun part was running around in a party at the start doing low reward missions and dying to shitty mobs. Then we discovered that locals give out free giga buffs in cantinas that let you (almost) solo the hardest missions.If you want to become a jedi or a sith there's a questline to follow that takes 6+ days because some of the Dathomir quests rotate in 3 day intervals and you need to do 4 of them. Only 2 of us became jedi in two weeks. When NPCs or player chars see you using force powers or lightsabers in the open you gain notoriety (or infamy, or something like), a hidden stat. When you get a certain amount you get a bounty placed on you and bounty hunters can kill you to claim it. And locals genuinely go for that, we had a jedi duel during the final pics and a local drove all the way to Weeabog just to blast Hillary.I personally enjoyed SWG a lot, it's something different in a sea of WoWslop
>>2491313Sounds really fun but it may be the kind of fun that's hard to reproduce on revisit like in Emil Chronicle on the last anniversary.
>>2490998I haven't played raiderz and I always hear it's good so I want it too
>no one voted Ace OnlineUgh...
>>2490482We couldn't even muster up 6 people at the very end for a dungeon.
>>2491091>the old guardIs this what you're calling the clique? LOL
>>2491313It depends on the version of SWG though. Theres Pre-CU SWG where you couldn't be a Jedi at all. Post-CU SWG which is what you describe, and NGE SWG where you could just seelct it.Thats why SWG is such a good choice for a replay IMO. Because we don't even have to go back to the server we chose, we could choose another server that hosts a different version of the game and have a different experience. As NGE is very different from vanilla. NGE was their attempt to WoWify SWG.
>>2491623I guess its not an Ace.
>>2491718This makes me wonder, whats been the most popular game chosen and the least popular? Not in terms of reception but the amount of people you guys had playing by the end.
>>2491754I would bet on Dragon Nest.
>>2491754>leastAce for sure
>>2491091I think it will struggle to get votes from the new guard if anything since not that many have played it, but its the closest thing to Tera we are probably going to play again.I'm holding off on playing revolution until I see the results
I'm gonna assume the reason Warhammer is in the lead is because a lot of people who are voting for it were people who weren't around when we played it. Seeing as how it wasn't well received at all it confuses me as to why people would wanna play it again.
>>2491718did everyone roll on the same faction? that should be a set rule if warhammer wins
>>2491868The mythos surrounding some titles can really skew perceptions of their actual quality.The only time Warhammer Online ever comes up in conversation on other boards is through reminiscence of narrowly-won PvP matches and large-scale battles, largely during its first year on the market when it was still a fresh and direct competitor to Wrath-era WoW. Solely the rosy highlights, despite the underlying game being rather flawed. Fun, sure, but clearly flawed.A similar sort of MMO mythologizing tends to surround Wildstar as well, despite it too having a fairly rocky reception all throughout its short-lived run.
So what do I vote for? I wasn't there for these games.
>>2491911>A similar sort of MMO mythologizing tends to surround Wildstar as wellWhenever Wildstar is mentioned, I immediately remember 1) The reddit-tier humor backed by Nerd Corps-esque animation, and 2) That image with the ludicrously long attunement quest
>>2491954Vote for what someone shills to you, like SWG. We must have another bog.
>>2491911>>2491962A lot of the Wildstar mythology comes from it being an NCSoft game and being part of the "viciously killed by NCSoft" club. A lot of those games are martyred and have a reputation in the MMO community as hidden gems that were unfairly culled, such as City of Heroes. So Wildstar's in that camp and its reputation as an under rated MMO grew. I think Tabula Rasa was the start of it all in terms of "NCSoft kills hidden gems"
>>2491954Vote Dragon's Dogma, great action MMO.
>>2491754There were some that no one was playing by the end
>>2491754>Not in terms of reception but the amount of people you guys had playing by the end.curious as well, any mmodadventure scholars?
>>2492096>I think Tabula Rasa was the start of it all in terms of "NCSoft kills hidden gems"Tabula Rasa, like The Matrix Online, is one of those games I only known of through after-the-fact wiki articles that give you the impression of being these mindblowing epic games you missed... Then you see actual gameplay and that picture you made through tooltips and guides alone slowly crumbles.
>>2492522As anon said earlier, it's gotta be ACE. MU was also super low player count, but ACE was rock bottom. I think Tale of Pirates had a low turnup too? It had some installation issues iirc. I might forgetting some others.
>>2492096>>2492549NCSoft being this evil company that kills amazing kino MMOs that would have changed the industry is pretty much a fabrication created by the users of those dead MMOs who are salty.Yes NCSoft is very corporate and is very focused on numbers, graphs, line goes up etc. But they don't just kill games for shits and giggles. If a game was killed its because it wasn't making any money. Tabula Rasa was killed because everyone overhyped it because it was a Lord British MMO, and it was never ever gonna live up to the hype, so it hemmoraged subscribers due to being a "disappointment" and they only killed it because it stopped making a profit. People always say they never gave Tabula Rasa a chance and killed it quick, but thats because it was a massive money drain and was spiralling further down. It stopped making a profit THAT quickly.City of Heroes was a success for years but by the time NCSoft closed it, it was an old MMO from a bygone age. It was a different era of MMOs in the early 2010s and CoH was showing its datedness. NCSoft have even defended themselves from this one by saying they gave CoH a lot of chances once it stopped making a profit. They tried to launch a Korean version, but Korea didn't take it, then they made CoH free to play and that caused it to start to breaking even and making minor profits, but nothing substancial. So they decided to have the team start making CoH 2 so there's a more modern MMO, but the cost for it was insane. So they shelved CoH.Wildstar never caught on. It simply didn't have the playerbase.So yeah, I think the narrative of NCSoft being this MMO butcher is largely untrue. Also Tabula Rasa died during a time when the MMO space was massively over saturated, felt like every licensed property had an MMO and people were sick of them. They were dying left right and center, except the ones that wised up and went free to play and ditched the subscriber model that was common at the time.
>>2492742>Tabula Rasa died during a time when the MMO space was massively over saturatedYeah the mid to late 2000s were a brutal time for MMOs. Western MMOs were coming out every four months, and competing for attention with eastern MMOs, some of which had far more mature patch/content pipelines than the fledgling western ones. NCSoft alone published Lineage 2, COH, Guild Wars, Auto Assault (lol), Dungeon Runners (lmao), Tabula Rasa, and Aion, all within six years. Nexon published MapleStory, Mabinogi, DFO, Elsword, and Vindictus in roughly the same period.Although I suppose in the context of the failures like Tabula Rasa and Auto Assault, the hit rate is actually pretty good. Lasting longer than a year or two in such a crowded market was a major success.
>>2492637which titles had the most at the end?
>>2491954Dragons dogma or Champions online, by merit of me still playing those
>>2492742>felt like every licensed property had an MMO and people were sick of themThe fact that even fucking Family Guy had a mmo during that period will never stop being surreal.
>>2492794It felt like every franchise had a [insert thing here] online. It was nuts.
>>2492742>but the cost for it was insane. So they shelved CoH.wild to imagine this was the play during the massive capeshit boom that was happening with media at the time especially.
>>2493072Well thats the funny thing. They shut it in 2012, right before it all exploded. Most likely their player base would have increased as DCUO and CO saw increases.
>>2491954RaiderzMonster hunter inspired action mmo by the creators of gunz the duelhttps://youtu.be/9045H303lT8>>2493031Ed edd n eddy online was great
>>2493147Not as good as KOTH online desu senpai
>>2490299Got real busy with life, new job, moved to a different state. Gonna try and drop in for the anniversary, hope raiderz gets a spot.
>>2492968Dragon Nest > ECO > PSO > Trickster
>>2492742>If a game was killed its because it wasn't making any money.i'm gonna be honest with you, and i'm gonna talk more generally because there's an occasional "BUT EVERY MMO IS SHIT" post whenever someone calls out a living game for being a money sink:please stop using a failed monetization as a demerit for a shut-down MMO. the active games that have solid monetization end up being FAR fucking worse in my eyes.we just voted in a game where literally everything you see and acquire will crumble to dust in 30 days or less.i didn't mention it during the Haven and Hearth discussion, but that game has a monthly subscription to your inventory being the right size to do anything usefulif you don't have the energy to talk about the GAMEPLAY of a dead GAME, at least reserve your autism about a game's business sense for the games that are still actively trying to fuck you. I don't wanna hear about how wildstar could've stayed alive if only it had a durability mechanic for its horse armor. I could just play Puzzle Pirates.
>>2490482It was fun, there are faction battles that run 24/7 you can join. A level 1-15 version and a 16+ one. Since we only have a week I would suggest people just stay under 16 or keep remaking to stay in the low level group. You get placed in the general pop battles at 16 with the veterans and your stats scale to them to make it fair but that depends on how BiS your gear is for your current level. Theres a lot of players who just stay in that low group cause it's easier to have fun. I'll do that myself if it wins.
>>2492522>>2492637Yeah I think ACE had 5? people show up for Final day Saturday pics? Even for other stinkers we had 8-12.
>>2492742NCSoft are the only ones still making MMOs lmao, love or hate them at least they're still in it unlike everyone else.
>>2493338It's ace for sure. The rigging was undeniable at that point and ace won due to a last minute coin-flip, half the people couldn't run it, and the game itself was incredibly repetitive.
>>2493330is max level not fun? I thought we could get to do some dungeons and raids too but thats if people stick with the game, also is it only going to last a week and not the usual 2 weeks? we also should probably all go onto the same faction (maybe order) to balance it out and make sure players arent playing on their own
>>2493451The anniversary games just last one week each. When there are factions we always vote before we start on which side we play. We chose Chaos last time because this is 4chan, why would we pick Order? I enjoyed it when I played it the first time. The scenarios, dungeons and raids were fun when you weren't sieging a front door for an hour. Since I already played it once I figured I would just stick to the low level raids to not get so invested, but yeah max level stuff is fun and the dungeons are nice but nobody got close to max after 2 weeks and its more gear dependent the farther you get which there won't be a whole lot of time to grind for. ECO revisit did have less activity than the first time cause the progression is a bit slow in that game but PSU revisit was pretty good, its an easy game to jump into and quick to advance.
>>2493256why lie?
>>2493525because chaos is the most popular faction according to their website and in desperate need of order. id prefer chaos myself but its more of a faction balance thing. didnt know the anniversary week was only 1 week though. would there be a better game for us to vote for to see more of in just a weeks time?
>>2493590hi
>>2493613I would just say vote for what you want. I voted for raiderz and dragon dogma. Missed RaiderZ but was told it was the group favorite. Played DDO and liked it quite a bit, in fact I played it for a while after just to progress. Both of these games prioritize party play over solo which I would say WAR does as well. Dragons nest is a solid choice too.
>>2493613I think picking Order this time would be fun, if it wins
Would you have time to do anything in Uncharted Waters in one week? I haven't played it but people said it was very slow. I've always wanted to try it though.
Shouldn't we space our revisits a bit? Like play one week of a revisited game, then two weeks of a new MMO and then one week of the second revisit or something like that.Does it really make sense to play them back to back?Why even play two games? Or why revisit once a year? We can do it every 6 months for one week if we want.I remember getting kinda burnt out by PSU last year.
>>2494577Revisits are put into two-week blocks so the game voting cycle can continue uninterrupted. I guess the other way to do it could be to have a full two weeks dedicated for one game revisit and maybe another later in the year. Might be too many revisits, I don't know.
>>2494686I guess it's not a big deal, just feels suboptimal to me.Two weeks for one game revisit sounds really bad though.
>>2494577Can't have a BI-Anniversary anon, we don't take kindly to them queerosexuals.
>>2485852>No votes for FlyffKind of understandable, as the server we previously played on (and many which were around at the time) went under a good while ago. Plus the game became a somewhat divisive pick, even if it worked well as a semi-mindless grinder (provided you're playing with considerably high rates).>No votes for FerentusAlso understandable, as Ferentus absolutely thrived on its sheer obscurity, and that bell can really only be rung once. Plus it looks very unassuming to anyone who hadn't already played it, even if it remains one of the most unexpectedly surreal and memorable titles we've played thus far.>No votes for Dragon NestGenuinely surprised, considering DN was one of the most popular titles sampled throughout this project. You'd think it would've been an easy first or second-ballot pick, similar to ECO during the first anniversary.>No votes for TRICKSTERThis one hurts.
>>2494741How about tri-anniversary then?
>>2494577>Does it really make sense to play them back to back?Yes because then it wouldn't be the same time as the anniversary we'd just be randomly revisiting.
>>2493328>I don't wanna hear about how wildstar could've stayed alive if only it had a durability mechanic for its horse armor.It really felt like you read that one line and stopped reading my post after that. Because you're telling me to stop doing things that I'm telling other people to stop.
>>2494776The one I'm shocked about is Warhammer number one as nobody liked it last time.
>>2494949Uh-oh, do we have a Neo-Clique? Have we been usurped? Et tu Newfriends?
>>2494776I'd play Trickster with you if you wanted to pick out a server to play on.
>>2494949it's a good fit for the 1 week duration. you jump into the meat of the game right away and the lvl 16 bracket is easy to reach in a couple days.>nobody liked it last timemaybe the low test gamers didn't
>>2494776Wouldn't be that interesting to play Dragon Nest again, and I doubt anyone would be up for playing a more modern server.
>>2495035Low level (1-15) PvP is the best because you're not farmed by full BiS players the second you ding 16.
>>2494937a whole paragraph of "MMOs are dying and NCSoft is justified" just reads as more money whining to me. I'm not sure where you said to stop money whining considering it was the entire post.I don't care what NCSoft thinks about the games it killed. I am the end user. This thread is all end users. Talk about things the end user would experience.
>>2494776>Dragon NestWhile I like the anti-kgrind sentiment around private servers for Nexon games, they remain Nexon games. I doubt we've left any stones untouched in there.I'd shill one of the older-generation pservers for Mabinogi if they did more to skip your outright slavery to life skills for base stats, for instance, but even with 4-8x skill EXP, you'll still suffer.
>>2496399The end user experiences the game dying lol lmao.
>>2496474Usually not with a decent MMO, though. Having enough material to develop a private server is pretty common, and laws are coming into place to shift the industry opinion of sunsetting games, so we'll also see more devs leaking / releasing server binaries for failed products as time goes on.To keep it on topic though, if a game is a candidate for this thread, you can play it. It doesn't matter if it died once. To that end, talk about its gameplay, because its financials aren't relevant.
>>2496521MMO gameplay often revolves around monetization, a lot of the gameplay elements and design decisions can be summarized as being a result of someone thinking it would make money, I don't see how it's not relevant to discuss why the games died but whatever. nta who started this discussion btw.
What do you consider an MMO?Does it require a certain amount of players? IE above 100/1k/10k/etc players? Is it the amount of players per zone? Some games are lobby based so you'll see 100s of people in the lobby but when you load in it's only 4 people.Is it persistence? Does the world need to exist for 24+ hours/weeks/months/etc?I've been thinking about it but I don't really know what would define an mmo other than the capability for a lot of people to connect and interact, but there's persistent ss13 servers that could have 100+ people connect but I wouldn't usually consider ss13 an mmo.
>>2496839persistent long term world with server size in the thousandsit can be a hub game with a party size of 4 where you can never play with more than 4 people as long as you can meet hundreds of people in the hub imosome people take it literally, and think the actual gameplay has to be massively multiplayer so shit like 100v100, gvg/wvw pvp etc, but we all know those games are few and far between.
>>2496839we recently played a lobby game (hellgate online) and everyone seemed to enjoy that. what makes something an mmo is probably group content. of course you can always play by yourself but playing with others to knock out quests is faster and a lot easier most of the time
>>2496581Because refusing to talk about how a game would feel to play right now and diluting the thread with unrelated garbage is a factor in how we voted in Eggman's Mean Bean Machine with a money burning contest attached to it.Monetization's an important topic when a game that qualifies here is still alive, because any "dead game" still being successfully run by its publisher is absolutely just there to make you suffer needlessly until you start paying money for asspats. It is not an important topic when it's dead, because anyone maintaining its corpse will have taken steps to give you the experience of a paying player at minimum. Iris switched out its cash shop currency 1:1 for vote points. PSO2, whenever its private server dev decides to spool up, will either not have a cosmetic gacha or won't charge you real money to pull on it. Toontown was a subscription game outright. We can play all of them, and we can talk about how they feel to play in 2026. Who cares how they died? Go post your "what went wrong?" threads on /v/ if you want to jack off over this, but stop suggesting online casinos and going "b-but every MMO sucks and charges you money!!!1" when I'd rather go somewhere with substance that happened to fail to trap you personally into the skinner box while it was alive.>>2496839I think the label is pretty loose and has been since its inception, honestly, but if I had to constrict it, yeah, lack of a main lobby and a persistent main game fit>the "main area" cannot be a lobby that you are alone in and return to after doing all content, i.e. your orbiter in warframe>you can instance harder content, but most of the game should hold an arbitrary amount of people and be drop-ini would consider a persistent SS13 server an attempt at making SS13 fit the format of an MMO. i'd consider it closer to Rust, which i don't think even has a label now that we're thinking about it, if that server has weekly or monthly resets.
>>2496929>Iris switched out its cash shop currency 1:1 for vote points.No, it didn't. The private server for Iris Online was very pay2win. Private servers are pay2win perhaps more often than not, just not as badly as official ones.
>>2496929how is it unrelated? most of the servers we play on still have monetization attacheddragon nest for example, was pretty well liked, but that server was still objectively an "online casino" where you could spend real money to get gold to gamble for more upgrades.
>>2497001NoScrubs seemed fine to me. It had larger prices on cosmetics, but the actual meat options (teleporters, boosts, etc) were all affordable with a day of vote points at a time. What was the outlier?>>2497002I didn't play Dragon Nest, so I didn't see what became of it. What's it have?If a private server is gouging people too, yeah, air it out. It'd be pretty shitty to vote for something that was outright awful.
>>2496414>Mabinogiit would be so comfy to chill out in groups and play stupid ass music or run low level dungeons with a bunch of fat retarded lolis
>>2497018There was an entire currency that was paid-only and allowed you to purchase gear you otherwise couldn't get, as well as better versions of everything the voting one let you. It was also mandatory for the pet system and made upgrading far more manageable.
>>2497018dragon nest origins basically just had the original enhancement systems and gear systems, they removed all the superfluous p2w items from the cash shop, but you could still essentially legally RMT to buy them through the ingame market, and they were still required to upgrade your gear to the max, it's just obfuscated enough for people to not question it.
>>2496839mmorpgs are rpgs with massive amounts of players, technically. but i think a GOOD, community focused mmo should have minimal instancing. people should be on servers with generally the same people for the majority of their playtime. that's how familiarity happens and organic community forms. this can be achieved by locking characters to servers (xiv/wow), or by having numbered servers with dedicated purposes (like osrs). by over-instancing your zones, you basically ensure that everyone stays strangers unless they go out looking for friends somewhere else. so while i consider lobby-based mmos like pso to still technically be mmorpgs, i see the lobby-based gameplay as a negative, and a limitation of technology back then. i don't really consider a modern lobby game like destiny to be an mmo, nor do i see an overly instanced rpg like diablo 4 to be an mmo. these games are simply multiplayer imo.
>>2497164I think lobby games have the effect you're describing though, the smaller shared world inbetween gameplay leads to a lot more hanging out and socializing, even if they have channels, people will just randomly choose a home channel most of the time, assuming you actually can choose the channel anyway, that part is important and a lot of modern games get rid of it so you're truly just unable to form any connections that way.
>>2497256lobby games suck dick thoughbeitever
>>2497018Found the guy who didn't get 2 shot by a dog in PvP.
>>2494776Trickster still has a shot. A vote and some could have it scrape by 8th, there's a couple new servers that follow the pay2play model LifeTO thrives on that I'd like to try.>No votes for FerentusThis is a shame, it's too kino and obscure for people who never played to vote on sadly. Maybe the 3rd year's the charm...
>>2497639>pay2playoops, meant to say play2win, as in monetization being means to support the server than conferring advantage over play
>>2497624>playing a tab target mmo for the pvpoh i found the issue
>>2494776I will put Raiderz first and Trickster second if I can get my token>>2497639I made a char on xto its not bad with all the huge rebalances just slow
>>2496414>even with 4-8x skill EXP, you'll still suffer.Isn't the main limiting factor going to be AP?I was under the impression that one of the best ways to get AP was rebirthing ASAP once you hit a certain age in old Mabi, which is fairly incompatible with our time limits.I have my doubts we'd get anything done without the babby Blaanid stuff they have on retail.
>>2497676You are forced to PvP on Iris if you want to buy potions beyond 60 or purchase crafting recipes because the points buy all of it. wish u clowns actually played any of the games u vote 4.
Puzzle Pirates filter is kino
>>2500497I think it's funny that we had a hundred post long discussion about how there was no content in the game, and it turns out there's actually a fuckton of content and you just need to actually play the game to get to it.
>>2501271To be fair the game sucks balls at telling you this and the tutorial is bare bones then just throws you to the wolves. I know thats very classic for a pre-WoW MMO but it does mean that you're reliant on the community to learn stuff. Which I know, is the point of why they did that but as we now know if the community is no longer there, you start to struggle with the discovery period. It just so happens we ran into a friendly community and some anons who already played who were willing to show us.
>>2494949we were chaos last time, so we'd do order this time?
>>2501424I'd like to check out the order classes personally
>>2500508bit of a weak turnout compared to the activity in the thread, makes me feel like we intercepted another general or something
>>2501271i remember those all ended with someone saying something to the effect of "adding one more block type to tetris does not make the content new," but i can understand if it's a confusing idea if you're invested in playing it for 8 hours a day
>>2501490The comparison between classes from the last time we played. Dunno if there has been any major changes to the classes besides the Runepriest/Zealot's now having a healing circle you need to drop on the ground before using the Master Runes/Rituals.
one week isnt enough for warhammer
>>2485852If a game with many different servers wins, we should play that in the second week so we have time to deliberate over our choices.
Is there a way to support MMOdventure financially? I'd throw a few bucks for the site hosting at least.
>>2503358It's not needed, the site hosting is free.
>>2501537From what I gather the Puzzle Pirates community got wind that we're playing since its a very small community and a bunch of random newbies appearing at once got them curious, so we've now got a reverse MMOdventure going on where the MMO visits us.
>>2501271I mean lots of people complaining and quitting on day two or three is common on every MMO we visit.
>>2503358helping with server research and organizing is probably the best way to help. I think it's only one or two people that do everything.
>>2503499the weak shall fear the strong
>>2503358I'll get back to you once I'm under the bridge
>>2503497>Puzzle Pirates community and welcomes us and helps us and gets involved in the thread>Toontown community shuns us, mutes us, declines our names or takes 10 days to accept them
>>2504212>Supposedly wholesome chungus cartoon community are actually niggersMany, many, MANY such cases
>>2504393It's discord trannies, the raped, groomers, diaperfurs, genuine nightmare community
so which game should I vote for to have the most fun? any game we can get to do raids in a week?
>Toram booched off top 8 seconds before the poll closes.
>>2504212qrd on what happened with toontown? i missed that one
>>25051803 anons got muted in the first 2 days, and our names took like 10 days to be accepted.
>>2485852so... what we playing
>>2505178is the "toram online" that shows up on google play any different in soul to the one we're voting oni'm sure they're very different gameplay wise but the last MMO i've played that "survived" with mobile is RO and frankly the official servers for that have always been filthy, so i assume toram would also have a certain stink to it
>>2505483my vote's for dragon's dogma, it'd be the most developed combat on the list i think
>>2505586Yeah that's the one, you can play it on Steam as well. I had the same reaction as you when I found out it was a mobile mmo but give it a shot, it's actually super charming
>>2501328A lot of MMOdventure is about discovery and exploration. I think Puzzle Pirates hits the nail on the head with that and gives us a discovery period that I miss from modern MMOs.
Is the next game decided already? -Newfag
>>2505836No, the poll for the next game should be soon and will end friday. That determines the game we play and there will be a 1 day gap for us to vote on server and guild name before we start on saturday.
>>2505842will the next game be the anniversary one or another game?
>>2505890Anniversary game vote vs one extra week of puzzle pirates vote. If one extra week of puzzle pirates wins, then second choice will be after that one week.
isnt the new poll supposed to be today
>>2505939Yes but the poll maker is probably busy.
>>2505974busy getting his poopdeck booched
for those that have been at this a while, what has been the most underrated game that you have experienced so far and why?
>>2506858I really liked Perpetuum and Eldevin. Eldevin was an awful quest2cap slog but the game had a lot of charm and I liked making my own build. Perpetuum was just fun.Iris was probably the best generic tab target MMO I've played, you could animation cancel out of every skill and chain it into another skill so it was very actiony.
>>2506858>>2489245Not sure what context you're asking this in, Ferrentus was an absolute hidden gem though, if that's what you mean. If you mean games we've played that people have kind of put past them but deserve being mentioned more... Maybe Requiem, Allods, or Age of Conan: Unchained.>RequiemF2P Korean Post-Wow derrivative MMO. Still, graphics/aesthetics holds up. Even has ragdoll physics for maximum edge. Functional jump, nice setting with (few) buildings and other spots to explore. Cool monster designs. Skill progresion / char customization is a bit shit, but it's alright. Very unique style.>AllodsYep, it's a WoW clone in the most literal sense. Still, impressive amount of polish in that one, and I personally felt far more engaged in customizing my character via the talent/passive grid system thing than I did in WoW back in the day. Kino setting, walking through Ruskie Commie Azeroth, with posters and food markets? Peak sovl.>Age of Conan: UnchainedSurprising quality again. Then again, was a paid(subscription?) title and was competing against titans at the time so it lacks a bit comparatively. Character movement and zone progression felt alright. The settings can be quite breathtaking, there's one major town that's ingrained in my head still. Combat is a bit clunky, but I give them truckloads of points for trying to innovate on the tab targetting stuff with DDR-style inputs for combos. Class fantasy is pretty awesome as well. Main downside on this one is the aesthetics on gear looking consistently shit. They kinda fumbled with the type of stuff they could've added drawing from Conan's repertoire...
>>2506858Neocron 2.I'm a sucker for early 90s cyberpunk aesthetics, and this game pulled it off so well.
>>2506858Rift is the best game this project has ever played
>>2507298How so? Are you still playing?
>>2507217I hope we get to play Neocron 1 sometime.
>>2506858It depends on what you mean by under rated. If you mean by the general public then Wakfu absolutely deserves more users than it has.
Puzzle Pirates is starting to feel weird now that the community's getting more involved in the thread and trying to drag us into stuff. Feels like from the global chats that there's drama and stuff and they're trying to get us on a side.
>>2507407I think it's kinda fun. Like we're not staying for much longer anyway, would be cool to see what drama they're offering. It's all part of the MMO experience after all.
>>2507416We can take a vote in game about joining their flag or not. The other person that invited us to their flag is a nobody with like 4 people in their crew so no reason for us to join them.
>>2505939>>2505974oh right, it's monday.
2nd Anniversary Revisit Eliminations have finished, these are the 8 winners and our finalists:Warhammer Online>Star Wars GalaxiesDragon's Dogma Online>Dragon NestDark Ages>RaiderZUncharted Waters Online>Islet Onlineresults:https://www.rcv123.org/results/f6Hqrpc25jpfp9v3FJx7mqhm/Finals will follow some time later.
>>2507646are we doing different servers, or would we be resuming our old accounts?
>>2507761Different servers for variety's sake if we can. Or in Warhammer's case, Order instead of Chaos.
>>2507761We'll vote on the server again. There's always a chance the server we picked the first time is the best or only real option. If we play on the same server we'll make new characters.
>>2507311Mentoring so anyone could group up with anyone else no matter the level and still feel like they were contributing and multiple public zone events, lead to us always doing stuff as a group. Probably the best player housing in any mmo, and the game just had a really nice vibe to it in my opinion.Yeah I still log into it.
Vote for Islet online, it's the comfiest game we've played! Great for a 1 week revisit!
which game of the 8 has the most potential for us to do the most content in in only 1 week?
>>2508072Probably SWG or Dark Ages. SWG because really there's no end game to work towards its a sand box so its easy to drop in/out and Dark Ages because the content is bare bones anyways.
Vote for Dragon's Dogma, fun action game. RaiderZ and Dragon Nest are pretty good too.
2nd Anniversary Revisit Finals is up.8 candidates plus the Puzzle Pirates extension option and 2 winners, which we will play for one week each. The highest ranked game will be our first destination.Closing Friday, 29th of May, 16:00 EST.Your candidates are:Warhammer Online>Star Wars GalaxiesDragon's Dogma Online>Dragon NestDark Ages>RaiderZUncharted Waters Online>Islet Online[ +1 week of Puzzle Pirates ]results link:https://www.rcv123.org/results/JQfQM2vG2vq7hCGCmh42HQ5C
>>2508127okay I switched my vote to SWG this week. WHO would still be fine by me though. gameplay looks fun but 1 week is not a lot of time and how many will chase after max level in just a weeks time so we can do raids
>>2508819Rooting for Dragons Dogma! Wouldn't be unhappy if star wars or warhammer won tho, happy with how the final 8 came out Toram deserved better

>>2508887All of them seem good.
>>2508922Depends on what era of SWG we go for! Last time was a post-CU Pre-NGE server.

>>2508928You will play NGE and you will enjoy Mustafar.
>>2506858I'd have to say Ferentus, Neocron and probably Uncharted Waters. Three games that are very wide open to explore and could have used a LOT more time to investigate. I left those games with a better impression than at the start.

>>2509912that's the best one anon add it
What happens with server choice if Dark Ages wins?Official supposedly has heavy restrictions on f2p but not sure if that matters for only 1 week.
>>2510149We have more choices this time aroundhttps://www.thebucknetwork.com/PrivateServers
>>2510149>>2510169Yeah since our last visit, someone put out a video that went viral and bumped Dark Ages popularity. It was a while ago so numbers have dwindled, but not to what they originally were. So now there's a more active live server and more choice for private servers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIFty-O4rOE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zNtATsb5egIts an interesting watch and part of why I voted for Dark Ages, to see how the popularity bump may have changed things.
>>2510149>>2510349I thought it meant dark ages of camelot but this looks more fun
Consider adding Kal Online to the list. Its a Korean MMO. I played on their English server in 2006 ish. This game gave me a burning hatred for Egyptians. I'm sure there are private servers still kicking around.
>>2506858>>2508819throwing my hat in for Uncharted Waters Online.if I could describe it succinctly, it's one of those once-of-a-kind jMMOs with a bunch of mechanics and systems lending towards discovery. iirc there's 3 main types of progression; battle, adventure and trading. battles play like FFXII but online (where it belongs), and adventuring has some involved coordinate hunting. for trading, you go to various countries and sail goods between them. sailing was peak comfy with a squad of 5 guildies while listening to the fantastic OST and the sound design was also exceptional.it's one of those games where anyone can jump in and group without being left behind. a new server "Ventus" opened in March which is also perfect timing for a revisit. I'd say definitely one of the hidden gems up there with Ferentus.
>>2506858for the games I've played:>Ferentusmight be the peak hidden gem for all its obscurity and genuine surreal experience. I've already ranted about how exceptional this one was, but another factor was the community and the simple but consistent art direction, world, along with first-person mode. imagine the experience you'd get .hack// was an MMO? that was kinda Ferentus for me.>Emil Chronicle Onlinethis game gets in for how unknown this was in the anglosphere as well as 4chan. the progression structure works a lot like RO, where you pick your map to grind out depending on your skills and equipment. tons of little systems in this we barely dipped in like elemental cards, possession, cattys, etc. had an absolute blast the first time around just fumbling around and discovering this game with 4chan. phenomenal soundtrack, and immersive world too.>Neocron 2I didn't play much but I enjoyed the little I did in a deep way. highly immersive game once again.>Uncharted Waters Onlinealready posted >>2510698. I want to reiterate this has the best sound design out of any MMO I've played so far. may also be the comfiest MMO I've also played.
>>2510698I really didn't like how you had to trudge through the main quest to unlock new places to sail to. The MSQ being slow and confusing didn't help.
>>2510726>MSQI think I never unlocked that because I got lost in the tutorial kek. might've been to my betterment in hindsight
>>2510349>someone put out a videolol
>>2510726You could also unlock port permits with just fame. Unless you mean the imperial quests, which aren't connected to the story line from what I remember.
Dragons Dogma bros...
>>2510698Not a hidden gem, also a week is not enough for this
god, pls let Dark Ages win
>>2509912Dew it, it's one of the best mobies, heck, we can even watch the third, people shit on it, but it has by far one of the best ship to ship battle sequences in history>>2509387Add Treasure Planet and Disney Atlantis
>>2509387>>2511235> we can even watch the third, people shit on it, but it has by far one of the best ship to shipI know its nostalgia but I really love all 3 movies
>>2509387Muppets Treasure Island
>>2511247holy fuck this
>>2509912I rewatched the first two recently. As a kid I liked the second one but now I think it's much worse than the first one. Still fun I guess.>>2509387Add The Crimson Pirate please, I'd watch some boomerslop.
>>2511241The only complaint I have against 3 is that the united armada thingy ended being a nothing burger, but everything else is kino, yeah. Davy Jones is an amazing villain
>>2511247I wanted to suggest this as well. I've never seen it, but this sold me instantly:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUbbYX9BMs
>>2511235>>2511241>>2511261why are we watching a movie that everyone and his dog has already seen five times?
>>2511646what's with autistic retards and being unable to rewatch something that's good. Do you really just watch something once and then never again?
>>2511646>weTake it up with your clique and take these off-topic posts out of the thread.
What was the general reaction to Spiral Knights? Did you rike it?I played in the beta and for a while after launch but eventually I got pissed off at being energy gated. It was my first experience of mobile game design on PC. They should relaunch it as an actual mobile game though.
>>2511711Energy being a stamina system is thankfully no longer a thing, now it's just cash shop currency you can buy with gold ingame.They added a progression wall in the form of manually leveling up gear, but VERY recently they turned that into something less awful. It's a very good time to get back into it.I'd have to disagree with putting it on mobile, though, at least because of its controls. The focus on directional aiming and need to avoid attacks quickly would be way too clunky on a screen.
>>2511094>Not a hidden gemnone of these autists on /vm/ played this until it got voted on, that's enough of a qualifier for me
>>2508922Depending on the server we choose it may be impossible.A couple of us did it on Infinity during the initial visit but we didn't have much leeway at all even with 2 weeks.I think Restoration, for example, requires your account be over a month or two old for you to even have a chance to get the quest. Plus a whole bunch of other custom shit they've hidden from the player base.
>>2511869I think the only way a SWG revisit would be fun is if we do FTL and rush making a starship.
>>2511989what version of the game makes the combat less gay and dull? original going to be hard to sell to people who have never played it because it plays like everquest and is painfully slow

wheres the link for movie night
Star Wars Galaxies? For real? Kind of surprised, there isn't much party play there. Dark Ages is just mean. No offense Nym.
>>2512320we can chill in the cantinas and build houses and shit. it will be fun and its only 1 week tbhwydn
The Bog Strikes Back
>>2512333It would be kinda fucked if we played on a different server when that one guy has been keeping the bog alive all this time.
>>2512318nevermind its tuesday
>>2512333>>2512441Bog Smerti? Boy Smirnen?
>>2511711The stamina system is gone. There is a premium currency called energy, which makes things confusing, but it's unrelated to what you're thinking of.I thought it was an excellent game and one of the best we played. There is little reason to keep playing once you clear the story mode, but for two weeks, it was perfect.

>>2512662link for the theater?
>>2512692Will be posted tomorrow when the poll closes, 1 hour before the first movie starts so I can fetch links. Don't need an account or anything.
>>2512320None taken! I don't mind any of these games winning desu polls loaded with good picks. If DA wins, there are a couple of servers that have streamlined the overall experience.
u guys ever try sherwood dungeon
>>2512662Heres rooting for Master and Commander and Moby Dick!
>>2508819If DDON wins one of the weeks, don't pick DDON Revival. It's basically the same as the server we played on but grindier for no good reason. In some ways it's grinder than retail used to be.
>>2513306Dev for the DDON server project here. If you're short on time, either go back to Rising or try out Legacy. Legacy has been doing some really cool stuff with client mods and custom content and their content is more focused on S1/S2, since you probably won't have time to get to S3.Always happy to have you guys visit, it really made me happy to see something I've worked on gain traction here.
>>2512662whew are those the only boat films
>>2513306>>2513431I vouch for Rising
>>2513431>dev herewhy are you lurking here, man?
>>2513749several developers had previously joined us on our adventures
>>2513768ya, dat fine. but why the lurking? we really are just a pack of retards having fun.
>>2513749>>2513768>>2513790I was lurking/posting on /v/ long before I was contributing to private servers? I've played with you guys a few times, too, I just tend to get distracted by other things and don't commit to a game for the full two weeks.
>>2513431Thanks for your work bringing this game back to life bro.I think Rising is the better option but I'm not gonna be too butthurt if we pick Legacy as I've been meaning to check it out anyway.
is dragon dogmas even fun anons? or just another icarus online action mmo?
>>2514115It's excellent. If you've ever played the original Dragon's Dogma then it's nearly identical to that, just online.
>>2514115its pretty mid, people only liked it for the customization and ERP potential
>>2514289>its pretty midlol
It's RaiderZ + Islet for me.I'll be really sad if neither make it into the revisit. You don't want to make me sad anon, do you?
all isletniggers deserve miseryradierz is ok tho i think i voted it 3rd
>>2514363goats RISE UP
>>2514363>>2514379It'll take 2 more 1st place votes for RaiderZ.
>>2508819To those who were around to play them originally: How well do you think these 8 finalists work as a single week experience?My main concern would be to get stuck with a game which takes a while to get going, since we'd potentially have to move onto the next one right when things start to pick up.
>>2514512raiderz is my number 1 because the combat is immediately fun and there are dungeons you require people for while leveling
>>2514512I think most of them are not good for a 1 week format if you don't already have a character or know all the ins and outs. The exception being islet because it's just a decoration game but people never stopped playing that.
>>2514512Warhammer mid-game PvP is really fun and we'll be able to reach that in a couple days.RaiderZ doesn't have a lot of content and I was able to comfortably clear 85% of content while dicking around plenty in our 2 weeks. I'm sure you could finish the main story in 1 week if you tried.Islet is barely a game, so it's a perfect fit in that sense :^)
>>2514368pretty rude, just made me vote for Islet instead of raiderz
>>2514115it's incredibly good, a bit rough around the edges but i think they fucked up by not releasing this outside of japan
>>2505831The only things I really discovered in this game were player-generated building puns and new paygates. I wouldn't credit the game for the former, and the latter is the opposite of compelling.
>>2514512RaiderZ is run of the mill fetch questing with dungeons, but the core action gameplay and mob difficulty makes the game genuinely fun. I don't know where >>2514695 is coming from, because none of the NEETs hit 40 in a week unless they were power levelling. the mid-level dungeons were pretty involved mechanically and plenty fun wiping and figuring things out blindly. FYI level cap at the time took around 120-150 hours in our group, downtime included. Blast having potential: decently good with 40+ actives. anyone who enjoyed Tera questing will like this.Uncharted Waters has different categories in progression, so there's always ways for everyone to group and contribute. there's a bit of tutorialing but even that could be skipped past a certain point. I think this'll be a great title just for comfy grindan with little to no FOMO.In any case either of these games will be a surface level experience for 1 week, but still an enjoyable one.
>>2516092about half the people completed the main quest line in RaiderZ. I think there were only 2 or 3 dungeons that I didn't complete and I was playing at a relatively leisurely pace. then there's the tacked on hunts shit - we didn't get to progress very far into that to get all the jewellry combinations and shit because of the time-gating.
>>2516208>about half the people completed the main quest line in RaiderZ.I was one of them, but partying with the mmod I was easily clocking 150 hours by the end of the MSQ. no way that'd be a 1 week affair even NEETing.

suggestion https://store.steampowered.com/app/212200/Mabinogi/
>>2519132It's not quite piracy but Granado Espada is still on the list, the only thing I know about it is you can sail and recruit various npc's.
>>2519879all i remember about that game is when i played it i bought the kiss emote and made my 3 female characters make out
>>2519879I used to play it years ago and was deep into the game back then. There's no sailing but there are a lot of 17th and 18th century looking ships and ship docks. Mostly as set pieces. The game is pretty much your basic point and click MMO but also has some really visually pleasing towns varying from different time periods. There are undead pirate monsters and pirate characters you can collect along with a few pirate costumes but for the most part, you're just a land lubber.
>>2519669Maybe mabi is a little too well known but I'd be down to playing it
>>2520057>There's no sailingOh, that blows, my mistake. I'll have a look at other games later, I'll bet there are some we don't have on our list yet.
I really didn't expect Star Wars to lead this vote.
>>2520140I took a break from it a few weeks ago. Best time to play is during the summer and winter as that's when a special mega event happens called Master Plan rolls around that lasts for 2-3 months. Comes around twice a year, one in the summer and one in the winter and usually draws a sizable crowd due to all the events, goodies, and special boost they give out that helps players out with various tasks and sometimes content update or big content updates. Next month is going to have a new content during this upcoming Master Plan so I'll probably be going back and playing that. A lot of that probably won't mean much to new players though but its the few times a year you'll see the game slightly more populated. Not super big numbers but still better than nothing.
>>2519669as a warning, a nontrivial amount of the people who would join us for this on retail are schizophrenic enough to spam gore and feces in threads until they 404 if someone slights them. the /vm/ general thread for this has had guildmasters abandon over mostly the members being a nightmare, and the last one deleted the guild over it. haven't kept up with it after that (i'd assume they remade), but you can look at it on the catalog yourselfmore of a disqualifier: leading a guild requires a paid subscription.
>>2520251average 4chan general behavior
>>2520251you're tempting me to try it
>>2520251>>2520256>>2520306Yeah you have to deal with legit schizos if you use any chat or social media platforms if you wanna play mabinogi with 4chan. In game I had no problems out of anyone and if I did, its the usual mmo drama shtick and just change the chat tab and go about my business. Outside is a whole other story. Niggas be changing personally like Persona 1, 2,3,4, and 5 Royal Edition.
>>2520306the game itself is intensely good up until you hit the gear grind, and what sets it apart from other MMOs these days is that you can have a genuinely good time just dicking around with lower level and social content once you're at that wallthere's an MML based music writing skill that has a very large character count once you've maxed it, there's TWO drawing systems attached to buff skills that everyone wants (one guy uses this to preach christian verses by selling low priced items with his written scripture, and he's not even the schizo we're talking about), and there's almost a PSO2 level of costume options available.but we WILL be dipping our feet in shit. i'd just go to one of the few private servers and try that out first, even if it's got older content.
>>2520354>i'd just go to one of the few private serversI see MabiPro. Any other ones? I'll download that shit now and give it a try regardless.
>>2520251Wew lad. Good information to know, even if Mabi's probably a bit too well-known to qualify for this project.It's frustrating that the sheer volatility of an MMO's respective thread (past or present) needs to be considered when potentially visiting its community for a couple of weeks. Not so much for the concern over integrating ourselves well in-game, but for just how quickly things could spiral for our own threads if a few particularly committed giga-schizos from abroad started to obsess over us.Barring some obvious trolls here-and-there, we've been immensely lucky during our time on /vm/ so far in not attracting the worst of the truly mentally ill who regularly obsess over MMO Generals in [current year]. Even just a couple of those types can drag a thread down into being a complete slog to try and have a conversation in, much less anything more organized than that. See also: /pso2g/, nu-/bnsg/ (when it was alive), /bpsrg/, etc, etc.
>>2520232I played quite a bit of it but honestly I went nowhere.I did all the tutorial missions with that waifu girl that onboards you to the game, did a bit of the msq but most of my game time was just fucking around and doing life skills.Can't even say I hated it, was actually quite fun but felt like I was never advancing
>>2520397>bpsrgi'm glad one of my guild's rules for that were that you got kicked if you talked about the thread too much. too many of these games with any sort of character creation just become cesspits
>>2520474recent updates have attempted to instate a gear score system and shove upgrades down your throat, and reforging's free baseline is actually good now, but it feels more like trying to push you towards normal MMO endgame issues rather than make mabi any fun at that level
>>2520251based dedicated schizo watchdog
>>2520397never play private server ffxi
>>2519669oh god i played in this in 2022 and never again but i still think about it why am i so fucking weird but im too lazy and depressed to bother i have like 10 other random games waiting in line
>>2519669playing on an old school mabi private server could be fun, I would not play on modern mabi if only because there's an active general for it
suggestionhttps://darkflameuniverse.org/Lego Universe
>>2520354The preaching in global chat on mabinogi was so funny when I played it.
>>2466551Is Grand Chase on the list? I remember hearing it came back awhile ago.
We should play Asda Story 1.
>>2520773I recall watching a video of a guy playing on a private server last year. The whole "game was killed because people wouldn't stop buildings dicks out of lego" was hilarious.
>>2521194it is funny, but it isn't the main reason the game diedit had a ton of problems during development to the point that people were quitting before the game even released, and kids don't pay monthly subscriptionsI remember back in 2011 being really bummed out because I could not justify a lego universe subscription on my birthday list over anything else that wouldn't be gone in a monthmy parents would have got it if I asked, but these things only happen twice a year so you can't waste gifts on temporary stuff like candy and subscriptionson a side note, the customer service was very good in lego universethere is a stud collecting key item in the game, it is used once in the beginning and then doesn't appear for a long time afterwardsI hadn't reached that "long time afterwards" yet, so I thought the item served no purpose and deleted it for inventory spaceso when I eventually needed it again I was locked out of main quests until I asked for help from customer support, they sent me the key item in the mail the next dayit's a little odd that key items you are expected to always have on hand take up inventory space and that they can be deleted, but I really appreciated the quick response to my issues back then
>>2521194you can add behaviors to builds too, which is basically minecraft redstone but betteryou could make your giant shlong poke a minifig's butt and it would moan(in text) before exploding if you were dedicated enough to the bit
>>2520251Can't we just janny max those schizos out? I don't think /vm/ jannies would appreciate people spamming gore and cp here, those usually don't last long
>>2520773Lego Universe private servers can even be hosted in whatever server port your niggas have, so we literally can run a /vm/ server and go town, we just need to download the source base
>>2521765NTA but I've seen them in action (despite never playing Mabi) and they just have a thousand ways to dodge bans.
>>2520773Last I played it, I don't remember if it has any meaningful endgame content that wasn't "kill spiders for 10 hours". Maybe I didn't get to experience it and forgot about it existing though.
Is Albion Online on the potential voting list?
>>2520397Thats why I'm iffy about having CoH in the voting due to private server autism and console warring. Every attempt at a CoH thread on /vm/ has resorted in server console wars and I'm worried it'd lurk over into our thread if it ever happens.
>>2522273Just gatekeep it, we ain't missing an opportunity to play kino over tard drama
>>2508819riggers unite
>>2522268Think the playerbase is too big for the scope of this project
>>2520251I played with the guys from the thread a while back and by that I mean I shitposted in guild chat while doing solo shit 99.9% of the time but I had no idea it got that bad.They had a thread schizo at some stage the same way we do with the same gay namedropping high school girl bully tactics but it was all fairly tame. How old is your information? Past few years or ancient knowledge of the far flung past?
>>2508819Please tell me Dragons dogma is going to get cucked and the second place is gonna win again
>>2522773Aren't both first and second winning here? We revisit two games for the Anniversary.
how slow is leveling in dragons dogma? remember this only lasts 1 week. vote what you think will get us the most content in only 1 week
>>2523020can be quick if you know what you're doing, slow if not, but it's fun to play from the start so still a good one
>>2523020It's not partially slow. There are servers that have boosted exp rates or need less exp to level.
is the horse game still ded?
RCV anon has yet to make the announcement, but Dragon's Dogma Online and Star Wars Galaxies have won the anniversary revisit poll. This post is about server options for Dragon's Dogma, which we'll play first. SWG has many servers spread over 3 versions of the game, so for that one, we'll need more time to figure out the best one for us. >Dragon's Dogma Online ServersWe have two options. The old DDON private server is excluded as it's more grindy than the original release which would be really bad for a one week stay. Be sure to check out the sites, there's some more info in them. Personally, I found server location to not matter too much. >Pollhttps://strawpoll.com/40Zm4LJDwga >Dogma Risinghttps://play.dogmarising.org/aboutYou make your account in the launcher. We played on this server last time. There's already a guild and guild house ready for us if we choose to use them.I believe since we last played, the ability to level some classes past a certain point has been locked behind MSQ progress. This was the case in the original game.Balancing is considered to closely resemble the original game.Located in Germany. >LegacyDDONhttps://www.legacyddon.com/You also make your account in the launcher for this server. Has client mods and custom content. I saw a mod to increase the chat character limit which sounds great. (This mod may or may not work on the other server, I'm not 100% sure.)More focused on S1/S2 content.Has custom class balance.No need to unlock classes.Has some custom features, like player to player trading. Server located in East USA.
>>2524139>SWG has many servers spread over 3 versions of the game, so for that one, we'll need more time to figure out the best one for us.We can take our sweet ass time to decide on that since the first game we're revisiting is Dragon's Dogma.The 2nd Anniversary Revisit Finals is over!The two winners we'll be revisiting for one week each are:Dragons Dogma Online and Star Wars Galaxies. Congratulations!Once again, thanks to anyone that has participated in this project so far, no matter how big or small. We've been through lows and even lower lows, but it's all been worth it in the end (allegedly). Just 14 more years and we'll be legal in most states.results:https://www.rcv123.org/results/JQfQM2vG2vq7hCGCmh42HQ5C/
You are now manually remembering Eldevin's crafting system.
>>2524139Didn't play with you guys, but I feel it would be better if we tackled a server we didn't experienced yet, think some anons might feel displaced if they jump in a game where a few anons are already stacked
>>2522777oh...fuck...nice..The star wars game looks swell as well so thats a win win!
>>2524139I think we should play all fresh so no one can have a bunch of stuff but that just depends on how long it will take us all to level up
>>2524139Legacy sounds a lot higher quality as a baseline and the region being closer to me is appealing.
>>2524288Actually with DDO, you can freely switch classes and each levels up independently so you old players can just try a new class to be on the same starting line as new players.>>2524235>>2524139Dogma rising is better imo. The other server has some very questionable choices with respect to shop prices, gold, blood orb drops and what not. You can also do bitter black isle from the start in rising which is one of the most fun parts of DDO. In the other server it's locked behind level 60 which would mean a fair bit of people would miss out if they don't grind to 60 within a week.
>>2524338>In the other server it's locked behind level 60 which would mean a fair bit of people would miss out if they don't grind to 60 within a week.To compound this fact, leveling is also more grindy in DDON compared to rising so it will be certain most people won't reach it.Also you have to job train your pawns on DDON which is really annoying enough as is on your main character (which btw requirements are halved on rising). This part will also be new for most of the old players as well.
Other stuff from rising
>>2524377>PawnsWhy are they bringing base DD mechanics into this? Why make pawns when it's a MMO that SHOULD incentivize parties?
>>2524338>>2524377Don't care chud. I don't want to play in the same server as before. We diving into a new one, even if it's shite
Sorry anon, but having a server in my home region is a huge plus
>>2524556doesn't really matter in ddon to be honest, it's p2p
>>2524338>>2524377Are you sure you're talking about the right server? The research post says DDON is excluded from the poll. The poll is between Rising and Legacy.
>>2520773+1
>>2524139>There's already a guild and guild house ready for us if we choose to use them.Is the guild massah still with us? I forget who created the guild.
>>2524139Did you customize the guild house? We should revisit it if so.
>>2524139I've been playing Rising on and off since the first go-around and its player base has grown since we were there. 50-60 during slow days and 120+ on the weekends. Legacy has about 1/3 of that, main chat is dead.
>>2524168>thanks to anyone that has participated in this project so farHappy to be a part of this, thanks, everyone.
>>2524139Chat mod works for both servers. It also includes some performance enhancements and makes it bearable on Linux if anyone is playing on that. You can easily get it from the Rising Discord and apply it to your client (if Legacy doesn't also have a link), or I can catbox it or whatever if people want to go all>discordabout it.>>2524591It's not really P2P. While a player "hosts" a lot of the world state and monster AI, the server acts as the go-between for all players in the party. So if your whole party is in NA and you're on Rising, it goes NA -> Germany -> NA for the monster updates. That said, you'll still get rubber banding and jankiness even if you're all on NA and playing on Legacy, part of that is just CAPCOM's shitty netcode and we're not strong enough to fix that yet.
I vote for whichever is less likely to be malware.
>>2526035Not an option, try again.
>>2526060Okay then whichever one is less pay2win
>>2526077pretty sure that's Rising
>>2526077I'm pretty sure you can't spend any real money on either of them.
>>2526280Taking money for a game in a franchise that CAPCOM still gives an iota of a fuck about (as abused as the Dragon's Dogma franchise is) seems like a quick way to get legal eyes on our project that we really don't need.
Which server allows ERP?

>>2526769No it wasn't, read the post.
>>2526410all of them if you're sexy enough
New to MMOdventure do you tend to get one token per vote or is it the more MMOs you join, the more tokens you get?
>>2527006Once you sign up for a token, you'll get an email every week that contains a token to vote with. You only get one at a time, so you don't get more tokens the more MMOs you join.>>2516861
>>2526775Depending on what we're playing, a lot of people who game with us are coming back to their character, not just the game. I wouldn't expect it to be any different with revisits.Do you compulsively hit new game on singleplayer games you were only into for a week, or do you pick up where you left off?
>>2527181Ok cool so if I skip an MMO I won't be kicked out of the voting?
>>2527226Not at all. You can even vote if you're not actually going to play that week.In fact, please do. If you see one good game next to 15 humiliation rituals in the elimination vote, save us. There's like 2 or 3 "but EVERY game sucks!!!" guys here and they keep pushing us towards babysitting with a coin slot. 2 or 3 people was enough to push Puzzle Pirates forward.
>>2527260>they keep pushing us towards babysitting with a coin slot.What does this mean?
>>2527221>a lot of people who game with us are coming back to their characterOh it's going to be one of those revisits huh?I'll skip it then, unlike last year where we all rolled new characters.
>>2527279Genuinely surprised you're here in the first place with a dysfunction like that.
>>2527221Everyone rolled new characters in both games last time, I don't see why this time would be any different.
>>2527327We realized it makes no fucking sense to try and grind up a guild in half the allotted time. Especially on a game where you can reset back to level 1 on the same character.
>>2527269I think it means those that want everyone to play their game they really like but it sucks and sperg out whenever it doesn't win.
>>2526691So when it comes to guild names you only see the first three letters next to your own. First time around it said "CLO."
>>2526775poll maker being a retard made a poll with ranked voting, so every server gets points.
Since it looks like we're playing Rising there have been a few changes since we were there last. There are more channels this time and you have to be in the same channel to party. 1 2 3 and 6 are normal channels with 3 being the choice to run Bitterblack Ruins. Channel 4 is a special endgame channel with different spawns and 80+ level mobs. Channel 5 is the trading channel where you can peer to peer trade, otherwise you can use the bazzar to buy and sell items and materials. Also I can't remember if High Scepter was available back then, but theres a small quest at level 10 to unlock the class. It's strong so you might check it out.
Which poll even is the correct one : ^)
>>2527906No ideaIf it's rising though that's a skip for me
>>2527991why anon?
>>2527221>Coming back to their characterSeems everyone who will be starting fresh will be cucked out of the clique and miss out then
>>2528177We already played it anon, it goes against the spirit of the project to revisit the same server when there is more options. How will we know what Legacy has to offer if we never experience it?Besides, all that talk about going back to characters smells foul, I think the newfags will be feel left out.
>Anniversary hijacked by clique alreadyFfs, you goobers just want an excuse to play that game again in your accounts, then do it, but fuck, don't drag us into it
>>2528291>>2528295My nigga we played the same ECO server for the revisit and all made new characters. Not only that if you had played DDO the first time around you would know you can just choose a different class on your same character and start at level 1. 2/10 made me reply.
>>2528316And how many do you think will be doing that anon? If the newfags feel left out, I want you naked doing a dogeza.
>>2528291I accidentally voted for rising because I didnt know you had to drag the one you wanted to the top, either way Im new and dont want anybody handing me shit
>>2528316Revisiting the same ECO server was a mistake, pretty much all discovery was gone while there were alternative servers on later patches which were vastly different games.>>2528359This. I doubt anyone can convince 60+ anons to restart from a clean slate, it'll be like herding cats.
>>2528291The server has had updtes since then
>>2528386can I get my vote changed to legacy cuz I agree with that other anon that everyone should start new
>>2528386>>2528390>>2528396>>2528397You'll have to do better than that samefag-kun
>>2528291>>2528390You convinced me but its too late and I can't change my vote.
i will be playing my old character to humiliate newcucks
Puzzle Pirates anon was right all along, it was pretty good.
>>2528513Love how gema always pick the outfits that show tummy. Love that guy
>>2528291we played the same PSU server with new characters
>>2528506Hope you like playing alone then. Surely the erp sissies will jerk you off?
>>2528547just pulling ya leg nonny n.ni haven't even played it b4that indeed sounds hawt tho
anvi gentle handjobs while matchi rims my butthole...
>>2528601anvi would never do that
>>2528688Match on the other hand...
So, I imagine we already have a guild right? Anyone I gotta whisper to get a invite?
>>2527906I'd say the first, but Rising won in both anyway.
Here for Rising:>https://play.dogmarising.org/howtoplayAll mirrors are the same, but you also need to get the launcher.
>>2466551/mmod/ anniversary thread. Thanks for the two years, everyone!>>2528837>>2528837>>2528837>>2528837
>>2528853Looking forward to these two, I've heard tales of the glory.
>>2527693>So when it comes to guild names you only see the first three letters next to your ownShould be NIG if it starts with Night then.
Is The Secret World an option for voting in the future?
>>2529412Isn't that game effectively dead with no private servers?Gonna be a hard sell if it costs money. Even more so if it's nearly impossible to purchase.
>>2530619It's not dead and it has private servers...
next poll is probably coming on wednesday, I'm away until then
There are fairly different versions of Star Wars Galaxies based on different eras of the game.Pre-CU (Combat Update) servers have an emphasis on player customization with a huge job roster. You level up your job by doing things relating to your professions such as healing as a medic job or fighting as a combat job. You can mix and match your job skills with other jobs. Ideally you'd want a fairly populated server to play on because the economy plays a large role in leveling up many jobs.CU servers keep many of the sandbox elements while altering the combat to be a more traditional level-based system instead of the old purely stat-based one. Character progression became a bit more linear as well.NGE (New Game Enhancements) removed the flexible job-based progression, replacing it with predefined classes. Combat was altered from Pre-CU/CU to be faster. The progression was altered to include questlines with the aim of making the game more guided, easier, and less complex. The questlines can also be freely ignored if you want to level other ways. The Jump to Lightspeed (JTL) expansion allows you to build your own spaceship and explore space. It's not available on Pre-CU servers yet.We played on the SWG Infinity server last time (Pre-CU). I believe the Bog has survived until now.https://www.swginfinity.com/
>>2533502I think exploring space with everyone would be fun, but I have no idea how long it'll take to get there.
>>2533502Later revisions of the game would possibly be more enjoyable to play in the short-term, but it feels like a wasted opportunity not to check in with the Weeabog on Infinity for one last ride. Especially if one or two anon have been maintaining it for so long after this project originally moved on.Never played any version of SWG before, and wasn't around to catch it when it was current for us, so my opinion on playing the same server as before might be more positive compared to those who already went through it once.
>>2532386Shill it for us then. If private servers exist for the game, it could be included in a future voting list.
>>2534129I'm really only interested in seeing the bog, desu.
>>2534129>Especially if one or two anon have been maintaining it for so long after this project originally moved on.Nah, sets a bad precedent.
>>2534213The precedent set is already to go back to our previous server for the Anniversary. We've done it every single time so far.
>>2534213can you explain why the precedent's bad instead of just saying noyou have over 2000 letters to use here
>>2537474no :^)
>>2534281That is incorrect.
>>2532386>there are private servers
>>2537711>>2538171we'll carry on as usual, then
>>2466551Good morning, MMOfriends. I'm one of the fags that oversees the board's divegrass team.It's Divegrass season back again, and so we're looking to freshen up the roster as per usual.Your boy "Rigged Polls" had a good season last time, so I'm here to ask you if you'd want to keep him as your Thread Rep or you'd want anyone else instead.As always, you can (You) me with your thoughts or do so in our Hideout thread >>2539755The poll should be going up this weekend.Thank you for your support as always, lads. See you all around.
>>2539826Rigged Polls had ultimate power at one point, but he hasn't shown his face in a while. I think we need to make room for the clique, not sure how it should look though.
>>2539826How do you decide what vm threads get players? Just wondered.I'm also saying this because back on /vg/ i was planning on forming a VGL team for /axg/ (apex legends) but the thread sort of died for a bit after a trash new season or something (end of 2022) and i gave up on making more players and assets (although despite how hard it was for a Blender casual like me it was quite fun)(also this isn't me asking for /axg/ to be included because it's a /vm/ thread now, i'm just curious like i said, i havent followed 4cc properly in over a year)
>>2539826Whats the Character limit? I was thinking "Allegreza's Ghost" or "Alle's Ghost" and its a slutty Elin from Tera
>>2540363>How do you decide what vm threads get players?All the chosen "reps" from each thread (along with other reps from general Multiplayer Vidya culture) get polled together, and the top results with the most votes get to make it into the roster.>>2540502iirc it was 30/35 characters for the PES version we're currently using (PES15). Our longest character name currently in is "Autistically Specific Minecraft Servers".>>2540259I wouldn't mind a change of player, but we'd need a base to go off of as to how the player would look like.
I kinda misunderstood >>2540363 question, lole.I ask in most threads that1- are active2- don't look like it's overran by bots3- are purely about vidya and not circlejerking (like /magog/ is).Some slower threads get consideration because they have been in the roster for fucking ever (Worms, 100OJ, etc).That's about it.
>>2539826Keep him in, he's /our boy/
>>2538171How so? We went back to the same server for both PSU not that we had a choice and ECO and we've gone back to Rising for DDON. Every single time we've revisited so far we've gone back to the same server we played on previously.
>>2539826My vote would be stay with Rigged Polls. Games/People come and go, the only constant is poll after poll.
>>2540502Shut the fuck up you retard
>>2544656LMAO
>>2533502These are the servers that were polled last time we played SWG. Are there any other servers that should be added?SWG Infinity - https://www.swginfinity.com/Pre-CU server.We played on this server last time. The Bog should still be standing.Good population.SWG Restoration - https://swgr.org/pages/about/Has CU combat and classes but all of NGE content, including JTL.Low population.Extra QoL.SWG Legends - https://swglegends.com/NGE server.Custom content including new quests.Has an expansion which adds a new planetHas the most content out of all the servers.Largest active population.Extra QoL.Jedi are unlocked from the beginning.

>>2548799>Cabal OnlineActually kind of remember this one, was pretty fun back in the day
I'm watching some Summer Games Fest showcases and a trailer for this popped up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2144600/Eterspire/Should we put it in the running? It has awards apparently but I'm sure they're pretty meaningless awards where there was like 2 candidates.
>>2549138Feels like the theme for this round is 2000s MMOs you used to play as a kid.>Anarchy Online>Asheron's Call>Cabal Online>City of Heroes>Dark Age of Camelot>Lineage 1
>>2549138I remember some funky combo system which turns your usual routing into a QTE.
>>2548799almost everything except City of Heroes (are we really doing this?) seems decently obscure. this might be a good one.
>>2549874Huh... this looks super neat! I'd like that!
>>2551693I'd say City of Heroes still counts because its an officially dead game, and its peak was the 2000s.
>>2548012Sounds like these are the best options from their respective eras of SWG, unless anyone has a pet server they want to shill I'll put up the poll in a bit
Which era of SWG was the best? So I know what to vote for
