>LaTaleIs this just another damage number popup autism game?
>>2652232Yes
power creep is abysmal. I have not touched any special items or whatever bullshit they give, but still mobs go down in 1 hit, bosses 3.
>>2652273They massively fucked this game trying to copy maple except maple still looks good on paper level 300 vs 9999 (latlale)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2144600/Eterspire/Spotted this on steam. Dunno if it's been brought up before.
>>2652457it's a new game tho with plenty of players as well
Has anyone tried LaTale on Linux?
>>2652457O hey we used to play this in alpha over on /v/ when it was an infinite tower climbing game (good times) anybody remember that?
>>2652498It's bronze on protonDB but the reviews are pretty old and the most recent review seemed was positive. I'll give it a shot!
>>2652498Alright me again, I don't like to do early starts so I just created my account and created a character.So far so good honestly, game boots, no issues with the cheat detection software.I used Ge-Proton 10-34 and absolutely no launch options, but they might help since this game in fullscreen does not like to be alt tabbed >.>
REEEEEEEEE STOP PLAYING EARLY
>>2652457gameplay's a bit wimpy, like RO mobbing with no risks. i think the only new thing you could do after 30 levels is use the runescape fish dispenser for no real reasoni'd roll a new character with y'all but don't expect to experience a whole lot other than changing your armor's color every 10 levels. even the attacks just become Attack II for the most part
>>2653079I thought you were talking about LaTale and got really confused
>>2652520the only tower climb game i remember was tower climb online. i played that shit every single day for a full year for some reason, it had like 5 players max lmao
Dark Moon Princess... What a bitch!
>>2652772>random malware to play a dead mmointo the garbage it goes
>>2653666>randommost of them use the same 2, if you've played any of these games you probably already installed it
which way, white man?
>>2654254Is there a difference? Any will be fine.
>>2654307idunno, but these are the descriptions for neutral and chaos.1.5 mil doesn't appear to be that much. I played for like an hour and got 180k in my sack.

waiting for my character to be restored before I start. its one of those games where if you delete a character the name doesnt clear up it just stays locked, only way to get name back is submitting a ticket
>>2652065I played LaTale for like four hours total when I was younger but liked the OST so much I downloaded it and as such have more knowledge of the music than the game itself. It's some crazy good shit. Couple of my favorites:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5w4SzoiN28https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UoB4nNKRT4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNrarx5Rziw
Got lucky and found some anons already!
>>2654494I like the turd
>>2654553 cute feet
Oh man this game feels really bad right now
I really hope teleporting is free because I've been abusing that shit
>>2654775I thought so too but it grew on me
someone needs to helm the 2nd LaTale guild. there's a 3 day lockout after leaving a guild, so it's not like someone from the main guild can easily switch over to guild lead.
looks like we need to get to lvl 160 to farm the shit we need to increase the guild level
>>2654976is there a way to merge their chatrooms or are we just shit out of luck there
>>2655160there's a buddy chat. we could use that if everyone.jpg added everyone else
Is the first guild completely full?
>>2653742I have not played any of those games.
yeah sorry guys I'm not sure I'm going to play this I'm just getting depressed i can instantly teleport anywhere in the entire game from level 1i instantly kill enemies 100 levels higher than me and level up once every five secondsI know this isn't an accurate representation of what latale is, it's just insulting. there's so much content I'm just skipping, I don't have to care about any of it.can we vote to skip? i know we already made the /v/ thread and everything but this is genuinely just awful, it's the worst I've ever seen. it's like playing on a jacked private server.
>>2656021Kinda feeling the same way. I played this when it first came out and I remember struggling through the temple early on. Now I'm just flying through it all.
>>2656021>i instantly kill enemies 100 levels higher than me and level up once every five secondsthat doesn't sound like the game i played even a year ago unless you're doing monster tower which is intended to skip the whole game
>>2656036I was able to skip straight to Atlantis and farm there in level 120 maps or something. The only thing stopping me from going higher was accuracy, I oneshot everything I actually hit. Monster tower didn't have accuracy issues so it was faster but fundamentally not any different.
>>2656021I think it ramps up in difficulty when you get to the ~150 range.
>>2656046NTA but I may pass. It getting better at level 150~ sounds like such a weird thing to hear. Old LaTale good, new LaTale eh.
>>2656051Old LaTale was complete shit, gameplay being server sided meant it felt completely awful to control and your DPS was affected by ping, not surprising it flopped next to Maplestory.
>>2656036I never played LaTale before, but I literally got showered with skill points and free stats, and I didn't even touch the boost/progression event, the starting character was just that strong, there is literally no challenge and my character keep being teleported area to area after clearing questGame feels very..auto-y, seems the base story is also being skipped by the tutorial. Seriously, was I suppose to one shot the dragon boss at lv 15?
>>2656068which class did you pick? that doesn't even sound like anything i remember, maybe the new classes have some oc donut steel starting areas
>>2656066I dunno man. At least old LaTale had me taking my time in the early levels. I was hitting everything my level for 15k autos and 50-70k with my skills at level 10.
>>2656071Picked the class that uses cards, my dude started in a school scenario, then got sent back in time? Another world? After the initial tutorial, I got yeeted into Elios, then tp'ed to belos. After killing some gobbos and returning to Elios, I just got teleported to another town, went out of my way to clear the forest and dragon lair even though they weren't in my path, just to try and experience it a bit, but they melted so easily it felt disappointing.For comparison, I had like 10k HP at lv 10, without even expending points in a passive skill that increased all my stats by 20% by each pip.All the initial gear have me was like 200 HP/MP extra, so I don't think it was it
>>2656083Yeah that seems like the card class has some different questline that teleports them around and shit, that doesn't happen with mine
lol this shit sucks ass
>>2656083the weapon you start with is completely broken, haven't found a way to get a normal one, maybe crafting?
>>2656127Oh, I got drops from my class and a few others after clearing the dragon dungeon, guess they just drop naturally
>>2656127there are weapon vendors and they have a dropdown menu, but even then you'll still one hit things
>>2656083I picked the same class and the experience was exactly as you described.btw did you manage to understand where the fuck this quest is?I'm level 175 and I've still not got my first subclass because I can't find this place anywhere.
These monsters kek>Onions Sauce Army>Abio Coke Army>Abio Triangle Rice Army
>>2656204Nay, not yet, still at level 32
>>2656021I doubt we'll vote to skip. A couple of dedicated autists suffered through some dogshit pirate game after our last anniversary even though most people skipped it over security concerns. That's the closest we've ever gotten to skipping so far if I recall.Just go back to Nin or another game you enjoyed for the for now. It's only gonna be 2 weeks.
>>2656204you get your subclass at lvl140 from the menu. hit escape and there is a subclass button.
i'm having fun but i can only see myself getting a week out of this and not two
>>2656021We been through worse
Overly positive anon struggling to glaze this game
>>2656399nah
>>2656414thats the main class progression. is the subclass selection not available for card masters or something? you need to be in a town and unequip your weapons when selecting a subclass.
>>2656406If it was a more normal gaming experience I could see myself having loads of fun. There's just too much shit and zooming going on to even properly enjoy the game. This is probably why the majority of mmos tend to keep levels in check because stuff like level 9999 doesn't really look good on paper
>>2656508big number don't scare me, but there are just too many random systems
>>2656204so the solution was>equip pic related>go to skills > supports > item skills > teleport to Luminous City>exit your roomfuck this game
Yeah I just tried this game and even movement is server side.With my ping this shit is unplayable.
>>2656605i don't think it is, the game is just that clunkyit used to be server side and it was even worse
>>2656614It used to be client sided but modern latale made it server side, a lot of classes become unplayable if you are too far from the server and the movement is weird
>>2656083Sounds like Maplestory's OC classes that present completely different tutorial areas. You don't level to the hundreds though and you're always killing shit around your level.
>>2656630really? i remember the game being way laggier and now it's better but still clunky as shit
>>2656644>>2656614Yeah, I am not having issues with lag even with my turd internet, movement just sucks. Jumping is a skill ffs
>>2656678You must live close to the server, or have a better routing to it.I press the arrow keys and wait 4 seconds to see my character move. I'm 100% sure the movement is server-side.
Hate to dip out of a game this early but I think 1 session was enough to know this shit isnt going anywhere
anon melty in the thread
>>2656820The biggest issue I see between modern latale and maplestory is that latale only cares about retaining the current playerbase and the new player experience is awful. Somehow modern maple still grows because they streamlined that experience instead. Even though I don't really like modern maple I can give them props for that atleast. Latale at times feel illegible to read or understand what's going on
>>2656820can you leave the guild before you uninstall, assuming you made it in?the game is pretty sucky, I hear you.
>>2656820same, logging in to free up space as well. i played latale on ogplanet launch and i adored it back then, unfortunate what it's like now
how many guilds are there and which ones arent full
>>2657064the prime guild is 14/15 right now. I know of three anons that don't have a roof over their head now. dunno if one of those created an overflow guild already.
>>2657064>>2657078oh I forgot, it takes 1,5mil to create a guild, so that might be the problem. I'm not sure if there's a level requirement to create a guild either.
>>2656846honestly, latale mogs maplestory visually, it just looks so good and that soundtrack is amazingbut they were doomed from the start because maplestory plays wayyyy better, my guess is they knew that they weren't going to win that war because their gameplay is so much worse and just decided to go all out on maximizing profits from the people they already hooked, knowing that no new player is going to start playing anyway, starting this game is a terrible experience
>>2657078>>2657081can I get an invite? my character name is Lalatard
>>2656872Cleared out now o7
>>2656598Holy I was going crazy trying to find out how to go back...
I can't find anyone to add
What's up with everything being really easy, nothing relaly attacking, and being given what appears to be end-game equipment right out the gate?
>>2657570you can add people through the buddy interface [B].try whispering Duckgoose or xXHatebreed88Xx
>>2657621average modern mmo experience, they want to boost you straight into the endgame
It's still piss easy but I'm having a reasonable amount of fun in the Valhalla dungeon. There's a bit of platforming and some enemies that die in 3 hits instead of 1. The boss even survives long enough to attack once. The bifrost outside is really cool too.
>>2657621>>2657636worst part of the game so far for me. leveling is so fast Im not even getting to experience zones or finish quests and thats without any xp pots being used cant imagine how easy/fast it would be with all of them being used. the set pieces are cool though and the higher level you go the slower it takes to down bosses like >>2657664 says
>>2657636the problem is, I went to a later area, killed like 3 things, and immediately jetted to level 40. Which s iteh class change quest. But now I don't have the Luminous Warp Crystal to go back and get the next job. Unless someone knows where to get that?
>>2657731There's like a quest you have to complete. It's really confusing. You can do it all from your interface, you don't need to go anywhere specific. I can't remember how I did it.
>>2657731you can buy warps from the tool vendor, theres a dropdown menu
>>2657744tell me I get to see this qt later
>>2657763only if you explore ;)Found a funny boss fight in the fairy castle, these two idiots are just fighting each other and you get caught up in the crossfire
>>2657447This map was a treat
>>2657570eyo sleepi, are you still online?
>>2657825Sure am
Sorry childhood fren san, Nii is...way cuter
>>2657780
Reminder that project belos is a significantly better experience if you aren't afraid of the discord boogeyman.they have retarded custom summons though
>>2657927should have said it sooner before we decided on official
>>2657927Invite only private server through discord only is pretty dogshit man. I tried pretty hard to find it
>>2657927We would be playing LOTRO if this group dabbled in discord-invite games. Which is gay.
The video is out anons!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAZFD7A6OwEHad to upload it to youtube this time due to the file size being too big even after compression, I would like to thank everyone again for the amazing experience you guys gave me, Nin was a very mid game, but thanks to everyone presence, we got some memorable experiences together!So due to that, I cooked this little tribute video, with all the footage I recorded, plus everyone's pics, it got a little too big, and thus, couldn't put every pic taken, but I hope you guys enjoy it, even if it's a little bit. Tried to replicate early 2000s scuffed png MVs with my shitty editing style
>>2658460>Creeping my SoulBionicle kino...
>>2658460>39 min longHoly shit anon thats actually really cool! Thanks for the contribution!!!
>>2658621Thanks! Had to make use of all that amazing footage I got, our last stand at Takumi was kino as fuck
Did this game die after like.. a day?
>>2658781its REALLY bad. probably one of the worst weve played.
Where's the thread?
>>2658784I found it weirdly how the playerbase got cut thin even worse than Nin, and that game wasn't good either
>>2658798nin had awesome rp potential, which kept people around. and the community was incredible. this game is just slop, no better than a mobile auto battler. i wouldnt have been surprised if there was some gacha shit in it at some point.
>>2658806Think the summons tab has some sort of gacha>Community and rpYeah, I gotta agree with you there, in our first day tons of veterans started to approach with us, and even rp a bit.My character got literally adopted by a giga ninja girl and she showed me the ropes in the first week, game was dookie and the final days were a huge slog, but at least you could do something there.LaTale map seems completely barren, and the quests are pure kmmo slop. Ths only highlight so far were the class quests
>>2658798I didn't like Nin but I could see how people would like it with the PvP aspect etc. But with this, the second the second I could insta kill mobs and they'd drop end game equipment, I was lost.
>>2658817i opened the game, hit a mob and did 15k damage to it, saw all the red dots on shit like a mobile game and uninstalled it
>Anons didn't even bother to cook a /vm/ thread 6h hours after the /v/ thread was archivedThis is kinda sad, yo
how do we do a skip? has any other game gotten skipped?
I thought LaTale was supposed to be kino..why did you lie to me like that anon>>2658868Never happened, not even with Icarus (the worst game of the year so far)We only got skips when a game was unplayable or paywalled
why dont you guys like it so far? I find it fun but it is grindy but we've barely scraped the surface.
>>2658884I think it's mostly the genre issue, people here seems to prefer tab targetting games or esoteric experiences like SWG and GBO:UC. The controls don't play nice, lots of anons are having connection issues and the overwhelm of information doesn't help either. Game feels..boring.I will still give it a chance, since I found the class quests to be quite entertaining, but everything else kinda sucks. It's only marginally better than Icarus
>>2658877could do a post-vote rig, it is actually precedented with Twin Saga to Aura Kingdom.if it gets that bad I'll suggest the other Mapleclone Soul Saver/Ghost Online
>>2658806>>2658814you can get up to level 200 without doing a single quest, just go to the monster tower (big apple) and you can level super fast in 30 minutes. when you reach max level is when the real leveling starts (ascension goes up to level 9999) and you start doing higher tier dungeons and have to start grouping and the game gets harder, but it is pretty grindy>>2658896id say its better than iris and nin too but thats just me
>>2658909Didn't that happen due to hardware issue regarding those games? Granted I wasn't around at the time, but we didn't skip shitty games before just because they were bad>>2658915Dunno anon, skipping the whole game feel like it's against the purpose of this project, we would be bliding ourselves to the whole and going in the treadmill just to..continue in the treadmill.I found Iris quite charming desu, but again, you had to get a party for most things
>>2658941>skipping the whole game feel like it's against the purpose of this projecI agree else we should just skip every game from now on until we only get good ones and the project dies. atp ill just go back to playing wow. mmodventure will go through the good and bad. and iris was unbearable to me. la tale has 0/60 quests but iris online would have 0/60 quests, then you complete that then it would tell you to kill 0/80 of the same enemy, then complete that and you now have to kill 0/100 of the same enemy. those quests were fucking annoying
this made me wonder how bad wonderking is now that it recently got revived.
>>2657927Is it the kind of thing where you can just drop the download files here for us or would we all have to register accounts through the discordI dont think skipping latale is in the cards, and we probably shouldnt even attempt to switch to belos either honestly. Just have fun oneshotting mobs and grooving to the music, that part is good for what it is. I did the level 180 library dungeon earlier and it was reasonably challenging although the music wasnt good any more. Im sure there's something playable at level 200+.But if there is an easy way to just switch servers, we do have time.
>>2658965>WorloPrivate or retail?
>>2659096private
>>2659250What serb anon? I used to play twow with FMC, but the server died
>>2651835LaTale /vm/ thread.>>2659329>>2659329>>2659329>>2659329
>>2651835I was just wondering, how did you guys beat PSU? The game doesn't have a campaign or any clear goals.
>>2659266octowow is the new refugee place for twow players
>>2659338I don't think anyone claimed to have beat PSU, but you unlock maps by finishing certain missions and there is a clear end-game which requires grouping.
>>2658784ICARUS BROS WE'VE WON AGAIN!
>>2658877I used to shill LaTale here but I always said the actual game was trash and the only good part about it is the ost and art.But for me that puts it above most old dead MMOs since they mostly have bad gameplay anyway.
>>2659338The cleared text just means we've played it. Feels like it's been that way for so long that it's not worth changing.
>>2658915>id say its better than iris and nin too but thats just meSame its just the usual first 2 days complaining and dropping
>>2658915>id say its better than iris and nin too but thats just meby just looking at the screenshots of past games you can already tell that nin was actually liked more than average. we had plenty of ninjers
>>2659836Screenshot day was also hella full, we can see that by this>>2658460 too, lots of anons doing the boss raids
>>2659266No wonder these threads have rowdy newfags who want to argue and bicker and spam buzzwords the second they're disagreed with.
>>2660046Wdym? Can't play mainstream MMOs anymore?
>>2660079Its the resident schizoid weeb that only consumes bugslop, just ignore him
>>2660079/wpsg/ is one of the lowest-quality generals on /vg/.
>>2660212Im not a faggot so I wouldnt know
>>2659815for real people want to give up because the dopamine doesnt hit on the first day. people were hating on hg from the jump too and that was one of the best games we've played >>2659836I found the gameplay incredibly dull just hold E to win
>>2660232Then don't reply next time and keep your head down.
>>2660212wpsg guilds are full of trannies who ban you for saying nigger its true
>>2660283>just hold E to winwhy lie?
>>2660454Im not thats what the combat was
how many anons are not in the guild atm? we found out we can just be paypigs and buy the guild crystals.
>>2660466>paypigs to buy guild crystals for a 2 week adventureDONT DO IT AAAAAAAAA
>>2660466what are guild crystals and what are they for?
>>2660464at lv5, yes
>>2660488I couldnt be bothered to level more than that because I got filtered by the confusing quests and jump puzzles in a top down game
>>2660490if you played the og La Tale, you would hate it too kek
>>2660490>Filtered by the jump questnononononono
>>2660524a jump quest in a top down game
>>2660283>for real people want to give up because the dopamine doesnt hit on the first day.Its an annoying trend recently that I've noticed the past few mmod games.
>>2660490So your point is people are wrong for giving up on the game because of the first impressions when you didn't make it past level 5 and got filtered by a optional quest???How can you type this shit and not feel ashamed?
BTW someone should make a post in the Nin thread on how to become a voter for the next game
games fun but so grindy after 200. my dungeon limit is maxed for today so going to go play wow for rest of night. any of you anons get to 200 maybe we can all start grouping up to speed up the process of those grindy quests (does group kills count towards quests?) >>2660847I didnt give nin a fair shot desu because I was yelling about minorities on /pol/ during the belfast riots
>>2658941>Didn't that happen due to hardware issue regarding those games?iirc Twin Saga was a blatant assetflip of Aura Kingdom, and got rigged in because all TS voters wanted to play AK anyways. I guess enough time has gone by that revisiting Aura Kingdom lectric boogaloo is in the cards now.
How do I play with you guys and where do I go to see the current game being played?
>>2663902We're playing LaTale right now, you can ask in that thread for an invite to the guild.>>2659329

Can we play a non-anime gook game for a change? Asheron's Call, Dark Age Of Camelot, FOnline, City Of Heroes and Freelancer all look interesting.
>>2664315none of those are gook games
>>2664320I meant to say neither gook nor anime, which eliminates about 90% of the games.
>>2664315I think the lists are moreso split into mostly asian and mostly not asian right now. Not entirely but al ot of it.
>>2664041I'm going to shill Freelancer this one time because a video about it recently popped up in my yt feed. The video, released about a month ago, already has 186k views, so maybe there’s been an influx of new players, and we might enjoy it more now than if we waited a few months when it’s dead again.Also, it looks kinda kino.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsvzp9wl-qI
>>2664573actually, on second thought, the more I read about Discovery Freelancer, the more convinced I am that the chances of one of us getting banned are nearly 100%.this wall of text about metagaming is just a small part of all the rules in place.
>>2664894>roleplayer shitfuck that
>>2664315>guys can we talk about mmos without talking 90% mmos?
>>2664897I don't mind some light RP, but I avoid RP-heavy servers that make living irl under a police state seem easier or more amusing than actually "playing".that said, I regret my vote and wish I’d done my research beforehand. well, fuck me.
Bros...is it finally time to visit City of Heroes?
>>2663902We are playing La Tale! Create a character then put your name in the thread.
>>2664315>Can we play a non-anime gook game for a change?Thats the mmod fave though.
>>2664573Is that just an entire video genre now? Exploring dead MMOs in hope the video goes viral and revives the game? I get so many in my feed.
>>2664954One thing I learned with Nin is do research.
>>2664315To be fair we had a good streak of non Asian MMOs for a while
>>2665123>That brit dude who briefly revived an Otherland mmo with ZERO (0) players only to get EoS shortly after
>>2664315voted only for nongook games
>>2665169fuck yeah fuck asian pictureslop
>>2664573>>2664894Funny, I also got a Freelancer vid on my recommendations from the same guy, looks like the population boomed, but yeah the roleplaying is a big deterrent. The mass battle looks fun at leasthttps://youtu.be/qL0iErRvvWU?t=953
>>2665552Unrelated I know, since its from the same guy but I hate when other Youtubers bandwagon on those sorts of videos like "BEST KEPT SECRET" and stuff as if 1 million people didnt suddenly just learn about it.
>>2664315>>2665098I'm surprised City of Heroes hasn't won yet just because its a big part of that golden age of MMOs in the early 2000s.
>>2666489Marvel really did a number on the whole capeshit image. I'm interested in that game as well, but I think people just inherently reject the superhero games.
>>2666519This.DC Universe Online has been there since the very first poll over two years ago, with Champions Online being added in one of the earlier game refreshes. Despite that, neither one has ever cracked Top 8 in any bracket.Both of them are almost certainly better in overall quality compared to at least some of the games we've played already, but general capeshit fatigue is just too deeply ingrained for either one to have much of a chance.City of Heroes would probably have the best theoretical chance of a superhero MMO being chosen, but there's preexisting server drama bullshit chained to it according to a few anon who've spoken about the game here, so it could be a potentially schizo-laden mine to treat delicately if it ever comes up.
>>2666587id be down to play a superhero game, didnt one almost win but then I think icarus won at the last minute (regretful decision but at least we got it out of the way)
>>2666519Its this. Generally when its brought it up its always dismissed as "capeshit game">>2666587This is my worry. We're probably gonna have anons come into the thread and sperg out that we didn't choose the "correct" private server. Kinda like what happened with SWG lately but probably more so. But lets face it every game choice gets a schizo sperging about it in the thread these days. Nin did, LaTale currently is etc. >>2666631Yeah that was City of Heroes.
>>2666519>but I think people just inherently reject the superhero games.The weebs just prefer eastern games and so hate anything western, superheroes never stood a chance
superheroes are incredibly lame, to be fair
I want City of Heroes to win just to see all the random super heroes people make. Playing the actual game gets into a pretty boring grindfest, but that's standard for most of the games we play.
>>2668180City of Heroes is 90% just a dress up game and thats actually why it was a success. With all the power set and costume combinations you can't not make an alt.
>>2668180>Playing the actual game gets into a pretty boring grindfestHave you played CoH before? Even on the official servers you reach max level in under 10 hours playtime. Private servers like Homecoming have accelerated this in various ways, but they add more things to do at end-game.
>>2669763Yes, I've played it 3 or 4 times with a group of friends. We were doing the story quests with regular dungeons/quests, not the accelerated leveling stuff.
>>2669763NTA but can you (or anyone else that played it) gimme a rundown of how the game is like?I heard a LOT about it back in the day but never played
>>2668180>>2669763We'll play on Thunderspy right?
>>2670261Its your typical early 2000s MMO really just with a superhero skin slapped on it. I disagree with the anon that said its a grindfest, I'd say its the opposite in that its easy to level and we'd probably get to max level by the end of the two weeks. This is because the game incentivises creating alts as its main selling point is its character creation system. Although its pretty dated now, at the time it was revolutionary and blew peoples minds because all they were used to in MMOs were basically:>Choose your skin color>Choose one of ten faces>Choose one of hairs>Choose your hair colorAnd that was it. So something as robust as CoH's system was insane.And thats not even getting into the power sets and all the different combinations, and they're not just "choose your animation" too they all have their benefits and drawbacks: https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/City_of_Heroes_Wiki:Archetypes_and_power_sets_portal And you can customize the animations and everything. So if you choose energy you can choose how you fire the energy, the color of the energy etc.So this is where most of the fuss for CoH comes from. Gameplay wise it is just a typical MMO. Fetch quests, kill all quests, dungeons, raids, story arcs etc. Nothing offensive or annoying but nothing jaw dropping. Kill 10 Goblins or Kill 10 Rats is replaced by Kill 10 Gang Members, Kill 10 Robots etc. The most fun part gameplay wise is just showing off your cool powers. Like flying around the city, flying to the highest buildings and sitting on them, racing with your super speed. Pushing enemies off buildings and cliffs with gravity control is really fun too.
>>2670486Other aspects I remember enjoying include big raids with thirty heroes just zapping a giant monster with all sorts of different powers like fire and ice and energy, it can get a chaotic mess which can be fun. And Villain wise doing bank robberies was pretty unique. Lorewise its pretty generic golden age/silver age hero landscape with a lot of characters that are blatantly meant to be their version of [insert famous superhero here] Villains had more interesting lore because they live in a literal dictatorship and the stories deal with the dynamics of that. The story arcs you go through a pretty typical superhero affairs, some are kinda Saturday morning stuff, and I think the stories get more interesting later on and their later stuff is much better. When characters get deeper than just "Patriotic hero" etc. and start switching sides and stuff. Preatoria (Which is their version of Injustice) is probably their best storyline as it was an expansion.Ultimately its more of a dollhouse game with an MMO attached, which is probably why it has a heavy RP scene.I think you guys would enjoy it, especially for photo days since the game pushes you to explore and you can do that by flying and teleporting. Plus all the different costumes and emotes. But groundbreaking in its gameplay it is not (except feeling cool shooting laser beams out of your eyes)My main concern is attracting the private server autism >>2670472because ultimately one party will get annoyed we didn't choose "their best" private server. But hey isn't that every /vm/ thread about games with private servers, FFXI etc?
>>2670521are there not any obscure private servers? the CoH is one of those MMO populations we're better off not attracting the attention of
>>2670261Random gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-mhNwtZZuI Just skip around on it to get a feel. The gameplay is pretty unbalanced in your favor, especially in groups and you can get overpowered fairly quick but that's part of the fun. You're a superhero so you should feel overpowered and it's a power fantasy.
>>2670567Yeah there are a bunch of dead ones nobody plays we could try out, its just if they're still up.
>>2664041THIS THREAD NEED A HEROOO
>>2671326https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_HjMIjzyMU
>>2670567>>2670609>Gimping ourselves with some russian spyware server just because we are scared of some random schizoMan up! We play on a good server and we will enjoy it!
>>2670567>>2670609>>2671357what the hell is a bunch of coh players going to do to us? besides most communities seem to enjoy the sudden burst of >20 additional players. puzzle pirates and nin online communities welcomed us and wanted us to stick around but we had to move on because thats what the mmod is
>>2671398Yeah, I really don't get this reasoning either, Toontown hated our guts, but even then we still managed to have a good time, we should stop caring about what one or two schizo thinks and just enjoy the ride, think some of you give too much power on those literally who chronically online freaks
>>2671357Exactly they can just join the rest of the schizos that we have.
>>2671398>>2671549We've been relatively lucky so far but don't forget we picked up a thread schizo from likely the first or second game. CoH used to have threads here and the Thunderspy discord and server drama is apparently completely unhinged. A single discord admin on RFO was somehow unbearable enough to trigger a server change. Be careful where you tread, with schizos, you always lose.
>>2670591Fuck man I know mmos are usually easy but LaTale is already making me die of boredom with how easy it is, going from that to another easy game just feels kinda ball busting
>>2671357>Gimping ourselves with some russian spyware serverthat's literally half the games or more we play, all part of the agreement m8
>>2671632dont worry, it suddenly gets way too hard at lvl 195
>>2671662Yeah I probably got Spyware'd from Latale alone, it installed a lot of stuff.
>>2671630Just ignore them, we got a bunch of schizos through our journey and we been fine
>>2671817Even with Nin we picked up a bunch of schizos just straight up lying about stuff happening on the server.
>>2671630We've had some server autism before e.g. both times on Star Wars Galaxies. We just remain stubborn and don't change and they go away. If anything the more they complain, the more I just wanna stay on a server for stubbornness. If we eventually play CoH and the server we choose is full of drama we can just switch to another, theres like six CoH private servers and only three are regularly populated. We'll just head to an empty one with no schizos or drama.
>>2671630People said the same thing about Mabinogi, I still think we should give em a shot despite the schizos.People wanting to shitpost and start drama are always gonna be here.
>>2671866mabi's less of the "follow you into games and try to get you banned" schizo and more of the "post toilet shit and gore in your home thread for a month" schizothey'd only tell you who they are once they're done being worse than an unpopular /v/ thread
>>2671866Yeah we can easily go to an empty server to avoid drama
>>2671916Thats the opposite of what I said...We should go to the more fun server, it doesn't matter if going to a populated one will attract schizos, we already have a resident nigger going around anyways...
>>2672017Not that anon but I agree with erring on the side of caution, best they make our visit miserable, worst they find a permanent solution to our fun having problem. Server swaps also haven't been done since the first one was an organizational shitshow.Besides we don't need to pick a populated server especially with a beloved title like CoH, which will surely attract numbers on /v/ as long as its shilled there.
>>2671916We shouldn't base our server on the hipothetical schizos. We should pick the server anons like the most and win the vote, simple as.Honestly this whole "We must pick a barren server to avoid schizos" feels like s falseflag op at this point, let's experience it before we shit our britches
>>2672261>We should pick the server anons like the most and win the votewould be great desu if they weren't constantly rigged. which begs the question, why are server votes still open to manipulation when they can affect the experience even more than game choice?
>>2671916>>2672261I wouldnt mind if we picked a lesser populated server for the more xp rates depending on how slow the leveling is normally. that's one mistake we made with icarus (but the game was also just bad) we picked the server with the most in line with the original xp rate and it was horrible. plus reddit plays on homecoming and id rather play with schizos than redditors
>>2672330The other server was equally bad. Non ironically, we should have played on the brazillian one which basically gave you free mount slots and taming points
>game guide guy and its not even the real vote yetTiresome
>>2672392who are you talking abouti hope it's not the guy who said "there's faggots on mabinogi" because if someone happening to know if there's faggots somewhere is your dealbreaker we gotta get you a job pronto
I miss nin
>>2672523I miss eyelids, loved his stoner bants, where he is now?
>>2672523Nin minigame night when
>>2672523I don't.
>>2672523>I miss running around being PKed
>>2664573So back in years past /v/ actually played this on their own server that had like 100 people on it usually, before it spun off into its own mod called /v/lancer (and then the devs went on to make Underspace).The actual conclusion is that Discovery Freelancer is actual ass. The world is neat but the mod is entirely built for its shitty roleplay server and nothing else. If you're not playing on that server (like if we ran our own server) most of the content is basically useless, the game's fairly empty, and worst of all it's a crazy bad grind where you're just shipping stuff back and forth between stations if you want to afford a trillion dollar battleship (because battleships are expected to be funded by large groups of players roleplaying a faction). The most enjoyable times were just getting friends together and going to a distant point on the map to see something, but all you really did was just look at it.
>>2652457>Great game but High end gear is so rare, rarer than any game you played it doesnt feel rewarding. Feels more like a punishment i had to quitI don't want to play runescape 4.0
You guys done playing LaTale? I didn't join this one because I played it a couple of months ago and I hated how 'floaty' you are. You guys still enjoy it? Because I wonder if I'm the only one that gets bothered by it. If you compare the movements of LaTale and MapleStory it's night and day, and I really prefer MapleStory's movement compared to LaTale.
>>2675597I played it for a day, I do enjoy the game for what it is but maplestory is definitely just 100x better.
>>2675597Playing it very casually, like 2-4 hours a day to catch up with anons. It didn't click with me at all, probably will drop after exploring the more interesting zones and clearing my class quest
>>2675597It's fine. The movement feels pretty good to me, honestly. It's got oldschool platformer jumping, though, no air control, which has been frustrating many times.
>>2675597I think I'm ready to drop it...I reached my "final class" and it's just more of the same. Most of my skills are the exact same thing, AOE with slightly different animation and numbers.Game feels like a waste, I never team up with anyone nor is there reason to. Most of it is just open guidebook, teleport to level range area, do quests, repeat until legend skill questline starts.What is that questline? Exact same thing...
>>2675597dropped it the moment I was doing 999999 damage
>>2675597I like it for what it is. Game to just play and listen to music or a podcast to because it's so easy. Ill probably keep playing it until the 2 weeks are up but will be uninstalling as soon as they are up >>2675605how's the gameplay in maplestory is it as grindy? this was my first 2d mmo so Im a bit more accepting of it
>>2676038It really does remind me of the downfall of DFO. You take a game with good gameplay, optimize the fun out of the gameplay, and there's nothing left. Socialization is actually a bad thing for this type of game, it loses them money. They want you on the gear treadmill getting sweaty and depressed so you buy their stuff.Like, a game like classic MS just leads to people actually hanging around chatting instead of playing the game. We can't have that. Talking is free. We have to speed up the pace of the combat so that you can't talk. Add more instances and dailies so you never encounter another player. Add incentives to start new characters so you can't play with any of the few friends you do manage to establish. That last one is super sinister, can't tell you how often you finally get into a conversation with someone in MS or DFO, and you have to switch characters to do something, and now your name is different, you're in a different zone, there's zero chance of that conversation continuing.
>>2676339Man MMOs like this are hella depressed to me, when I play a MMO, I expect to met people, to have some bants, to see people making silly characters with what the customization allows.Guess that's why Nin and SWG ressonated so much with me, you saw actual communities and people expressing themselves through their OCs, it was hella cute when people started some soft rp out of nowhere.LaTale feels just like a eternal grind hell, but at the same time, it doesn't scratch the itch that Hellgate did, it feels..hollow somehow, even if the soundtracks, maps and sprites are more charming than HG, game feels...worse somehow, I just csn't pinpoint why
>>2676447That's how Korean MMOs are designed. You have to understand, that the game's 'community' is outide the game itself. It's inside PC cafes, or inside school. The reason the games are so grindy with no time to communicate is because the developers are designing games for their audience in the east, not the west. There's a few outliers but that's the majority of Korean MMOs.
>>2676586Guess that's why I never been too fond of them, I dig the grinding bonaza, but the way it's often portrayed in those korean games doesn't scratch the same itch as grinding rifts in Diablo or bosses in BO2 with a bunch of randoms
>>2676447I think it's because of the homogeneity of class and enemy design. That's the watering down of combat that I was talking about. You haven't played every class in the game, but from the few you have played, you can kind of sense something's off. The developers haven't successfully made your class feel distinct and fun enough.
>>2677082Couldn't agree more. I started with the card mancer, and the only thing that differentiate him from a wizard, is that his map bar is the card deck you set up, certain skills consume certain card types and that's it.But you never run out of cards, you don't need to shuffle the deck, there is no difference for stacking your deck with a main card type, nothing. You just need to have enough cards of a certain type to guarantee that you won't run out of cards mid battle.His skills are basically what most casters do, but with the "card fluff" and some of them don't even make sense, like the uppercuts and axe kicks.I tried the gunslinger, the wizard, the warrior..and they all feel almost the same with just a few CCs sprinkled within each, it sucks.
>>2677082It's the soul factor. Nin and Iris were both objectively lower production value, less content, similarly homogenous, but they both had soul. They knew how to take their minor quirks and make them fun.
>>2676329maplestory is less grindy these days but you can still grind all day if you want to, it's more about about doing weekly bosses and making a lot of characters of different classes for account wide stats
>>2677217latale has plenty of soul, it's just been stripped away over the years and replaced with generic Korean MMO progression systems and the whole game before that part has been neutered, you literally one shot everything even if you don't put on any gear or level your skills.
The only thing LaTale has over MapleStory is that it's less P2W. But that's not saying much since Nexon is notorious for putting P2W mechanics in their games. If they ever add universal Cash Shop storage to GMS I would play it more. Hell, every other region has it except GMS.
>>2674257>spun off into its own mod called /v/lancerThis is pretty interesting; I had no idea that mod (and the standalone game) even existed.I'm not really a huge fan of space games, but I've played a bit of SS13 with some anons and it was fun.>If you're not playing on that server (like if we ran our own server) most of the content is basically useless, the game's fairly emptyI guess that explains why the only active server right now is an RP one, since there’s not much else to do besides RP.
>>2677726Definitely not less p2w if you play reboot, latale is giga p2w.
>>2677799>if you play rebootAre you living under a rock? They monetized the fuck out of Reboot. They now have items (limited time so you need to buy it every month) that give stats. Then you have the vac pets that cost $100s of dollars PER character, also limited time. And no, you can't use the Maple Reward points to get them, you need to spend real money.
>>2677829that's still far less than latale kek
>>2676329>how's the gameplay in maplestory is it as grindy?Depends how much you pay.
>>2676447Eastern MMOs vs Western MMOs. Nin might be based on an anime but it was made by Western Devs.
>>2677901So you are saying that eastern MMOs optimize the fun out of anything? FF14, despite it flaws, remains a very cozy game
With LaTale taking such obvious inspiration from Maplestory, it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise that party play is virtually nonexistent.Coming across another player in the wild was just about the last thing you'd ever want to see in modern-day Maple, as it was nearly always a net negative in efficiency to socialize or involve yourself with other people at all, outside of trading gear (read: buying/selling it via RMT channels) or running your weekly bosses with guildies. 98% of your playtime in Maple was entirely solo and immensely anti-social outside of chatting with others (in Discords because nobody spoke in game), so its makes sense LaTale would follow that formula as well.These are the ultimate Solo MMO experiences. Titles typically played for the raw desire of number go up above all else, for better or worse. They're beautiful skinner boxes in their most predatory form.Clearly there's an audience for this style of MMO if judged solely on Maple's continued success, but its drawbacks are blatantly obvious for anyone expecting the "Multiplayer" part of the genre's acronym to receive any focus.>>2677832Pay2Win pissing contests between KMMOs are always dumb.Both games expect their respective playerbase to drop the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars/euros/whatever on RNG gear upgrades to stay relevant at endgame. And it should go without saying that neither game is worth anywhere close to that amount of your money.
>>2676447MMOs despite being usually easy are best when they have some sort of challenge.Nin was very easy to party with people because it was constantly a struggle, with the absurd grind and the ability to use your buddies daily quests if you only rolled shit.SWG in hindsight was kinda lonely? Everyone was always grinding something different but in that game you had lots of reason to join with others since most interactions were meant for Roleplaying.You could join with people, play music that would give out buffs, make and furnish houses...
>>2678073Not my experience with Maple, involving yourself with other players is extremely beneficial both as a new player and at the endgame, bossing in a group allows you to progress way earlier than you would if you played solo, the P2W is also minimal by KRMMO standards with the P2W stuff largely not even being relevant and time spent in the game mattering far more.Talking about the heroic servers btw, the old ones are straight up unplayable without spending money.
>>2678096>P2W is also minimal by KRMMO standards?????????>Talking about the heroic servers btwAh, guessing that's what Reboot is called these days.My experience in modern Maple mostly stems from a regular server, since having to self-find and self-raise every single piece of gear individually for every alt you ever made sounded like complete hell.If things are better now, then that's great, but I still doubt there's any reason to party with other people besides weekly bosses all the same. Much as is the case with LaTale here.
>>2678136>doubt there's any reason to party with other people besides weekly bosses all the sameThat's the only thing worth doing in the game anyway unless you're completely addicted to grinding, the game has become far less of a mob grinder and more of a log in do weeklies log out thing.There's been countless private servers that do everything way better but they always get shut down at some point.
>>2677984Its just a different type of fun.
Any discord or do you just yap in this thread?When's the next mmo?
>>2678185>Any discordno>next mmo?11th of July, game to be determined
>>2678212How do you organize group content? Is it just thread posting?
Extremely based first place Xenimus voter.
>>2678228We use this thread, the specific game thread and in-game chat.A lot of these games don't even offer much meaningful group content for our 2 week venture and average population, though stuff like Puzzle Pirates and Wakfu made it easy, so that the thread and in-game chat are plenty enough communication to gather up for stuff.
>>2678185You should REALLY start reading the fucking op in the thread it answers most of your questions>"When's the new game?" & Project Infohttps://mmodventure.neocities.org/info
>>2678228Games usually don't have them, but when they do, we manage just fine, people did naxx back in the 2005 with only /g chat, discord is overrated
>>2678287We had Skype, ventricle, mirc, teamspeak and stuff like that though? Before that aim groups if we wanna go that far.We always had these discord like tools.Im glad u guys are having fun tho
>>2678300Yeah, but they were always mostly for tryhards, we don't need them. Anons were doing wakfuck endgame bosses just fine with the text chat
>>2678300Why would we ever use any of that?This is meant to be a project for 4chan, if you use any of those other platforms you are not only losing the reach on your main audience but alienating the whole fucking project.How the fuck would you find this thread if people were not bumping it by discussing the game???
>>2678394>Anons were doing wakfuck endgame bosses just fine with the text chatI don't mean to shit on your dreams here especially because I agree with your general sentiment but Moowolf hasn't been end game for over a decade at this point despite the moniker of "Ultimate Boss".
>>2678437Some of the endgame dungeons in Wakfu are pretty ridiculous, but since it's turn based you can still get away with just in game chat.
>>2678465For a lot of stuff we don't have to worry about endgame at least since its only 2 weeks.
The response to LaTale is usually why I tend to autoskip the Asian MMOs. They're just not my thing. They're good for making cute characters for picture nights really and that's it. Personally, I think we've been on a really good streak of MMOs since Wakfu onwards until now, with Icarus being the exception.
>>2678777Iris was genuinely fun, even with an XP curve the likes of which I've never seen. There's grind and then there's grind. You saw the reaction to LaTale by contrast - people were INSTANTLY put off by it. My impression of Icarus was similarly instantly shit. We can tell good games from bad ones very quickly.
>>2679143people just have different tastes, iris was very boring for me
>>2679143>We can tell good games from bad ones very quickly.I dunno about that. There's been some hidden gems that started to get real good once we got past a hurdle, or real good games from the get go that people didn't give a chance. I think any game we choose will have a bunch of negative reactions and people dropping it on day one. People are judgemental like that and it's always gonna happen, so I don't think measuring their reactions should count. Its the reactions of people a few days in, and those that drop it by Saturday which count more IMO as they got into the meat of the game rather than dicked around for an hour went "this sucks" and left.And Icarus and LaTale are good examples of this, because the reaction a few days in was still negative.
>>2674257What about playing /v/lancer or underspace then?
>>2679143I feel differently, I liked iris at first but the more I went the more of the same it felt and couldnt stand logging in after the first week
>>2679243I'm biased because I have several hundred hours in it, but even so I wouldn't say multiplayer is there. It's a solo dev and there's a lot of bugs in MP.
is minigame today? i want to take a little break from la tale
>>2679917No, anvi is busy and no one else hosts them
>>2679143my experience has been the opposite between those two at leasti could tell instantly that iris was a bit of a slow theme park, and it wasn't doing much to keep me hooked day 2latale is telling me very bluntly that i'm in the catchup phase for a game with an absolutely arbitrary level curve, and showing me there's ways up that actually look okay despite that. i was autistic enough to get to 200 in versions of maple that actually wanted you to care about that, so i might genuinely hop on to look at how bad ascension is after this 2 weeks if i'm taking advantage of everything it throws me.i got to around the level the other online players were all sitting at in the guild with one dungeon by just looking at the guide, so i think there's room to move faster that people are reluctant to actually utilize for some reason. i think a big part of what puts people off in this game is that they're trying to take it slow when there's probably way more progression than their pace would let them see
>>2681049I just wish they'd solve this issue by just introducing a level squish or something, like WoW did. Why waste time catching up when you can just start the characters at that point?
>>2681049Also the way I levelled was spend the first 15 levels or so questing and doing the introductory stuff, until I got to the first Dragon Dungeon. Then after that I claimed all the rewards in the guide from doing that stuff, which is mostly more EXP potions to add to your introductory EXP potions. Then I overdosed on the EXP potions, and just grinded monster tower until 140. Got my subclass and upgraded class, overdosed on more EXP potions and did monster tower until 160, moved onto the Royal Rumble until 170, got my final class, then went back to Royal Rumble until I've now caught up with everyone. And I started late on Monday.
Found LaTale to be pretty disappointing, think it only lose to Icarus in "worst game of the year" department
>>2683898I think it would actually work out terribly but it would be fun to see a poll after each game is done where people that played it can rate if they liked or disliked the game. Then we could compare approval ratings across different games during the year. It definitely would not be botted/turn into massive drama over numbers/lead to nonstop bickering, etc.
>>2683943a poll where you have to submit your character name and level you got to first. is that possible
>>2684103this would require the host/pollmaker to keep extensive notes or else it falls on the clique to remember you exclusively
>>2684116>>2684103Can't the vote anon just organize a voting poll? People email him their ss, and people vote.That way, people who didn't play the game wouldn't be able to vote, making the polls a bit more protected against botting and schizos
>>2684116>>2684248Why not just...do it yourself..?It's just for fun anyways, why would you need the showrunners to organize this?> Won't be official / people will shitpostAny "Worst game" poll will be a popularity poll anyways, if you want a more objective view just log in and check the guild average level...
>>2683943>>2684248>>2684343there's a review/comments section on the website and it still gets used seldomly
>>2684678oh yeah you can leave hatemail on a bad game if you really feel like ityou just have to be the kind of faggot who would do that first
I made an unofficial ranking poll for the games we've played in 2026. Just for fun, again nothing official: https://strawpoll.com/BJnXV3rjKZv
>>2657927Late reply is obviously quite late, but are you sure the servers for it are still up?Happen to still be in the long-since-dead discord channel for Project Belos, and managed to download the S4, S2, and S1 clients via that weird bot it has, but none of them appear to be accessible despite registering accounts for all three. S4 gets to channel select, but there's nothing to choose from to move on, so that seems like a bust. S1 can't even establish connection to the server before eventually timing-out. S2 isn't able to be launched at all, seemingly requiring a standalone LaTaleLauncher.exe which isn't included in the download.If you're able to play it, do let us know, if only for those who might be interested.
>>2685458People had THAT much fun with D&DO? I didn't even make it to two weeks, let alone 3.
>>2685854I've found people suggesting it's still up, but they may have made a new discord and moved the servers, every link I've found is dead though so you'll probably have to go out of your way to ask for one from someone who's in it.
>>2686227It was good when you were grouped and you had someone to smuggle you into a real difficulty setting, not so good when you were grinding through it alone for gear or difficulty unlocks.
>>2686248Lucked-out with one of the locals assisting me in the server's virtually-dead channel. No way in hell would I have ever found out about this otherwise.Turns out the only client currently running for the server is the oldest version they offer, real S1 hours. Have to modify LaTaleStart.bat to route to a different address, and start the client through it rather than the launcher.This doesn't appear to be v1.0.0, but it certainly seems like a much, much earlier incarnation all the same. Only five base classes to start with at character creation (Warrior/Knight/Wizard/Explorer/Engineer), and leveling looks to be much slower paced. Can't change the resolution either, it really is stuck at 800x600 so far as I'm aware.So some flavor of Project Belos DOES appear to exist in some form, despite its servers going down over a year ago. Yet as account creation is still barred behind interacting with a Discord bot on a channel which doesn't appear to have open invite privileges (and one which, by all accounts, looks to be completely abandoned to anyone not already in-the-know), it's a safe bet to assume the playing population of this one is absolutely minuscule.Looks like someone joined the channel just a few days ago, however, so it's not 100% closed-off... But I sure as hell don't have invite privileges for it, unfortunately.For documentation's sake, here's the link to the S1 and S4 clients themselves all the same:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KIonL2A0EPcVNty063lauWfKnl85E3rl/viewAlthough again, you won't really be able to do much with them without somehow already being in that entirely off-the-grid Discord channel. Surreal to know a "LaTale Classic" is technically up and running right now, yet only like 20-30 people max will ever get to play it.
>>2686360Well the server files are public, anyone can run a server like this if they have a little bit of experience with running servers, it's just that this is such a dead game nobody is doing it.
>>2683898Turns out from the poll, you are correct. In fact Nin is just above it, so two games not received well in a row, ouch.
>>2686873I expected toon town and puzzle pirates to be WAAAY lower desu.Nin and a few others are really a 50/50, you either love em or hate em, some anons really like them some REALLY hate them.Icarus and LaTale I guess were just more hated than loved
>>2686873Why are you so obsessed with Icarus that you have to reply to yourself, blatantly rig a poll and pretend it's objective data?
>>2686873Iris online shouldnt be as high as it is. I found it to just a little better than icarus but not by much. La tale I find personally fun in a way but it definitely has its flaws like horrible movement as another anon mentioned. My top vote was hellgate as I had so much fun with it and was the only game on the list recently to keep me playing for the full 2 weeks
>>2686993NTA, but Icarus was miserable and hella soulless, the novelty of the monster taming wore off quickly due to slots and some cool looking monsters not being tameable
>>2686982I dont think a single anon liked icarus as pretty much everyone quit by day 3
>>2686982>>2687056We would have had a better time I think if we had chosen one of the better servers with higher xp rates and free mount slots as this anon said >>2672333We kneecapped ourselves into choosing the one with lower xp rate and slots locked behind paywalls, but it had more players
>>2686873>>2686982Pouring my two cents here, but while controversial, knowing our resident schizos, I found Nin to be way more enjoyable than LaTale, you were always bumping into someone, grouping up was a thing, and there were more things going on in general, it was kinda cute how the community more or less embranced us after a few days, and they would constantly try to chat and bants with us in the wild, even the ninjas from opposing factions.My only complains were due to the atrocious drop rates (fuck those talons and teeths) and how annoying was to get skill scrollies. The PKIng wasn't really an issue, it happened rarely and most of the time we were hanging on enemy territory, so it was kinda intended to happen in a way. Some bad apples did exist, but they folded easily after we started to gank them 5 to 1, which was rad as hell.It's a game with lots of issues, but it has tons of charm, the game is officially on his first year after going live and abandoning all the copyrighted stuff, so I have some hope that it will get better in two or three years.LaTale in comparison just don't do it for me, game feels too bloated, boosting through the game feels like against the spirit of this project, so my experience might have been ruined due to this. The fact that the progression is timegated also didn't sit well with me.
>>2686982I think the reason why Toontown and Puzzle Pirates are where they are is that people either really liked it or really didn't. So a lot of strong opinions on it, so they're either ranking it at the top or the bottom, causing it to even out in the middle.
>>2687098When I mentioned people either loving or hating it I was 100% on the loved it side of Nin despite not having a lot of positive things to say about the game itself, in fact> The PKIng wasn't really an issuePking was a HUGE issue, in every arc except maybe the first by pure luck...Regardless, a lot of my enjoyment was because of how frequently I was playing with others, super easy to party with others both on the side of helping them or getting helped.I guess this is my main reason to drop LaTale, not only is it bloated, it rushes you early on so you never get a good feel of the world (Which is the best part, the music and art style are fantastic), you're just using the guidebook to teleport left and right to complete quests and it sucks so much...
>>2686993Why are you so defensive about Icarus that the second someone brings up that they didn't enjoy it, or are critical about a single aspect of it, you instantly descend into some single anon conspiracy theory?
>>2687098>but they folded easily after we started to gank them 5 to 1, which was rad as hell.I didn't play it for long to experience the pvp as I hated the extreme grindyness of the first level quests, kill 120 etc. But I'm glad you humbled those BR fuckers.
>>2687138>When I mentioned people either loving or hating it I was 100% on the loved it side of Nin despite not having a lot of positive things to say about the game itself, in factThats kind of my position too. If I could sum up Nin for me its: It's a bad game but I like it.
>>2687098>boosting through the game feels like against the spirit of this projectI think the boosting though is just quickly running through you through all the old and irrelevant content to get to the actual content of the game that's played these days. Which makes me wonder, why not just scrap all the old content, do a level squish or some sort of WoW cata content reset? Having to powerlevel yourself to the relevant level felt like such a waste of time and energy and not a good start to the game.
>>2687138Yeah I was running a dungeon in the game a few days ago and got to the boss fight and the sprite art for the boss and the music and the background and its strange attack patterns made me thought "Damn, I bet this was a super cool boss fight back in the day before you could two hit it" Anyways, I pressed 1 to take off half its health, and pressed 2 to take off the rest of its health to kill it. I was the same level as it. Not ovelevelled.
>>2687138>>2687098Limcuties..
>>2687216There's tons of 'em like that, the mansion boss has a very cool concept, the same as the frog boss, but it was easy as balls do kill them
>>2687098My main problem with La Tale so far is there is zero reason to group up because every dungeon can be completed solo. I likely wont make it to 9999 because Im already done with it. 235 is max level and 9999 just seems unnecessary
>>2687098I feel like Nin and LaTale are opposite sides of the same spectrum of "caters heavily to late game players and barely to early - mid game" however, Nin is so new that they can rectify the issues they have and are doing so by adding new updates and changing to make early game better. Their main issue is mostly that when they transferred from BYOND to Steam, they brought their community along with it who have been playing for years and haven't accepted its not some BYOND game anymore and they need to stop gatekeeping newbies for their game to survive. LaTale is at the opposite end. Its so old that they know their new player in take is low, so they have to rely heavily on trying to keep their remaining player base who are all endgame level. So they've neglected early game and left it to rot with bloat, full of shit that doesn't even matter anymore. Like for example when you make a new character you get five teleportation tickets to all the different cities, but you can teleport anywhere now, meaning they're useless.
>>2687216People forget that /v/'s anger comes from passion. I'm disappointed with LaTale because I really wanted to like it...>>2687248Faust is CUTE!
>>2687287 You are!
>>2687098>knowing our resident schizosanon makes up boogiemen not realizing there's no actual schizos here just silent majorities
As someone who has been playing Nin for a while, I can say that you don't come across communities like those in current times very often, and that community is an aspect that every mmorpg can really benefit from. Old mmorpgs are highly social in terms of how cooperative they may be because the games basic progression systems were meant to encourage grouping and supporting one another in some manner, shape or form, and that can be seen in mmorpgs like Nin. So I came across this other game while La Tale was on the run, and I saw very distinct similarities in the community. Their love and passion for this game runs just as deep. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable right now because the servers are located in Korea. If they ever decide to improve their servers, we should definitely give it a try in the future.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4559140/Godius_Eternal_War/
>>2687583>servers in korea with server sided movementgoing to be even more hated than latale
>>2686982Toontown is fundamentally sound (play goofy minigames with friends between grinds). That specific server just has MSQ hell.
>>2687265Well, the reason to group up is to do dungeons on higher difficulties so they have higher drop rates and better experience. But yeah, it's a solo game, they've spent all their effort developing it that way rather than doing what they should and enabling multiplayer. That's what happens as a playerbase shrinks though. It's kind of an annoying facet of MMO design. There's a population sweet spot, and if you ever start going below that, people rip you to shreds if they aren't allowed to solo absolutely everything. MMOs always die worse than they started because the community is gone and you have to cater to solo players.What's stupid is that these problems are all caused by MMO developers taking the first M too seriously. You don't need a staggeringly huge map and tons of content. I think Nin proved that. You can have an MMO that feels alive at low player counts, that incentivizes group play, and still has enough content to do. I disagree with their development direction though. Level 70 is a mistake, they need to do a full-scale PvP revamp instead to enable low-level players to better participate in world PvP. I guess they have their own problem solo crowd to cater to, who just want to gank and oneshot lowbies.
>>2687711Yeah I wish Toontown Rewritten would have a guild or group chat system. Thats literallly the only thing that stopped us.To give Corporate Clash some praise though, the boss fights they added were really cool. They just focus too much on the Cog OCs now.
>>2687744>MMO developers taking the first M too seriouslyYeah, I don't care about having an insanely large world that would take WoW numbers to fill, just give me a small hub or something to meet other players I can go into dungeons with
>>2687583>As someone who has been playing Nin for a while, I can say that you don't come across communities like those in current times very often, and that community is an aspect that every mmorpg can really benefit from.This is why I liked Puzzle Pirates despite the puzzles getting repetitive pretty quickly. The community embraced us there too. I probably wouldn't have stayed if the community didn't start inviting us on voyages and stuff.
>>2687811I would have quit after the 1st week of puzzle pirates if not for the welcoming community. its always the 2d mmos that have the most welcoming communities funny how that works
Hello friendsI'm trying to get my life on track so I won't have the time to join future MMOs or help out with server research. Something's got to give and unfortunately this is one of those thingsMy parting gift to you all is my research doc. It's a mix of stuff from the website, anon shill posts, and research I did on my own. I meant to share it much sooner but I was being overly precious about the details/formatting/etc: https://drive.proton.me/urls/5JW86SY1NG#fNH3cFiljK5zThanks for reading my blog. Had a lot of fun with you anons over the past year or so, long live MMOD
>>2688061Thanks cutie! Hope you come back to us or just the thread in the future, passionate anons like you make this project worthwile!
popping in to say spiral knights is rerunning the Black Kat event if anyone who was in that wants to suffer through for the real BiS
>>2688061godspeed anon, we'll miss ya
>>2688000I'd say more specifically its the early - mid 2000s MMOS that are full of boomers which have the best communities
>>2688061goodbye anon thank you for all your help
>>2688061Thanks anon!Hope this isn't a goodbye but a see you soon! If you ever get your shit together do come and hang out even if it's just for one day!
>>2688061LaTale got even the best of us, huh.Wishing you all the best, anon
Better play "Aion Classic" soon, before Aion 2 release in 2 months. It is really good.
>>2688698Aion almost won last week but then La Tale did
>>2688698>>2688733Playing another pvp game after being raped in Nin did not help in the voting process...
Better play "RF Classic" soon, before that particular anon's PTSD wears off.
>>2689097RF classic? Think we're going to play superhero mmo next
>>2689114Amem, it's time for THE HEROES to take the stage
>>2689114Nah, not after the obvious shilling happening.
>>2689813We need to get one of them out of the way that way we're not stuck playing 6 weeks of superhero slop at the end of this
>>2689872If we do, it shall be our decision and not obvious third parties trying to recruit us, the fact that their own general dissolved due to incredibly autistic infighting should warn anyone away.
>>2688061oyasumi, anon
While we wait for the new ballot, I’ll ask a few questions about the finalist winners I know nothing about.>Risk Your Lifethis one is giving me a headache.apparently, there’s not only RYL1 and RYL2, but also a ton of different editions. from what I can tell, the most popular servers are for RYL2, but there are also plenty of “ROW” servers, which I’m still unsure if they’re more like RYL3 or RYL1: Reforged. Then there’s RYL: POTE, which I only know is an Asia-specific version of the game.maybe I'm dumb and it's like an overwatch 1/2 situation, but some clarity on what we’d actually be playing would be appreciated.>Xenimuswhat are the chances that we're getting the Tibia's mafia treatment?>pay up piggie or I'll spawn camp you until you get back to level 1>Rusty Heartsis it a lobby/hub mmo? Looks like it is
>>2690289The only one I can answer is yes, Rusty hearts is lobby based.
Can someone explain how a game from the backbench can be played? Does it have to win a vote to get back into the normal pool and then win again to be picked, or is it a single vote?
>>2690289does RYL have group content? We have played way too many lobby based games lately so I say no to RH
>>2690396There are two alternating lists that we vote on. While a game from list A is being played, the vote for a game from list B is being run so by the time game A is finished, Game B is picked.The lowest votes get banished and replaced with games from the total pool so there isn't 500 options on every poll and games no one is interested in aren't run every week. Essentially if a game gets very few votes, it's removed and it's random chance to be added back in every vote after.
>>2690506I think thats just a current issue with the lists right now, because we kept avoiding specific games (pvp games, lobby games) that it's a lot of the options now. Stuff like Rusty, Aion, Dark Age of Camelot.
>>2690506It's been a while since the last lobby game, and honestly, might be what we need to start partying up again
>>2689872>Super hero slopWhy lie? CoH is one of the MMOs with the most sovl of the list, would have take it in a heartbeat rather than spend two weeks playing another korean skinnerbox
>>2690643does CoH have raids and dungeons?
>>2690523Basically it, yeah.We probably will be stuck with lobby and pvp games for a while, since we went through most of the non-lobby-non pvp games
>>2690654It does. It has some very funny aspects to team play. Buffs can stack infinitely, there is no limit to party summons, we can get ourselves a super team HQ, change our alignment mid play, etc
>>2690660If BYOND dogshit is on the menu I was going to bring up Sigrogana Legend 2. It's a tun-based tactics roleplay-heavy game.It has some interesting ideas. Downside? It's made in BYOND so it's jank as fuck.
>>2690673Post it and suggest to be added to the poll, anon, if it's a mmo, don't require third party programs to play and it's free, we will try it, eventually
>>2690506>does RYL have group content?seems like it has some big open world pvp battles at the very least, and according to chatgpt, it also has dungeons.but I think it's more pvp focused based on just a few random videos I watched today on yt.>search RYL1 on youtube>pvp fiesta with quake sounds, posted 3 months ago>search RYL2>kino music video posted 7 months ago>BANDICAM footage posted in 2025https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKJD2gnsuH0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtuCw7F5yc0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cElwCFB9UE
>>2690669sounds fun honestly ill be voting for it then >>2690676this looks like a mobile game wtf is that gameplay
>>2690728Character customization is bretty cool in CoH and the level grind isn't that bad (if we play in Homecoming at least).If we do end up playing CoH, I think it would be interesting to play one week as a hero and another as a villain, or the opposite
>>2690728>>2690676>Mobile gameNah, more like a DW reject with all those blocky models and effects.Wish Dynasty Warriors had a MMO..would be kino
>>2690770>Wish Dynasty Warriors had a MMO..would be kinoAnon... https://dynastywarriors.online/But you would be rightWhat I want is that borderlands mmo that released in china but nowhere else
>>2690764we should probably stick to one faction that way we can see more of the content depending on how long it takes anons to create their characters and get to max level, unless you see us getting to max in 1 week
>>2690506Yeah it does, your typical MMO content (dungeons, raids, etc.)>>2690560Yeah I'm fine with playing similar games as long as its not one after the other.
>>2690675I dunno if BYOND counts as a third party program or not.
>>2690785The thing with CoH though is that there's also Vigilante and Rogue which allows you to hop between both hero and villain content. Or you can just switch between Hero and villain. You just can't start out as one you gotta do a questline basically.Its been years since I played it but I don't see us getting max in 1 week, especially if we choose one with normal exp rates. But I see us getting max in 2 weeks and we can just hop between hero and villain to check it all out.Also a lot of the max level content is dual faction anyways.

>>2688061Awh, you'll be missed, kind anon. Thanks for all your effort and contribution. Best of luck sorting those IRL matters out! If this extensive and neatly organized document serves as a point of reference, then I'm sure you'll tackle any obstacle with much ease. Looking forward to meeting up again once things settle down!
>>2690643CoH is superslop because it's dominated by a cadre of transgender ERPers now
>>2690778Damn, I've been looking for a playable version of this forever. Thanks.
>>2690289>XenimusThe community is roughly 25~ players on a good day, but otherwise we'd be lucky to see anyone actively playing it.
City of Heroes appears to be another game where the playerbase uses discord a lot.
>>2690924They're always the best though because when we join those low pop games the community notices and that can be interesting.
>>2690289Rusty is a hub MMO yeah, and for Xeminus low because as another anon said there's only like 25 people online.>>2690931Not really. I guess it depends on the private server. But theres no reason to use discord for it.>>2690895On homecoming yeah but not so much the other ones. Some servers just don't have anyone online.>>2690924I don't mind low pop games since we tend to keep to ourselves anyways, sometimes the community embraces us though.
is CoH going to be another Toontown situation where we'll see people who cant hide their powerlevel get deleted?
>>2690778>What I want is that borderlands mmo that released in china but nowhere elseThis type of shit always interests me. Theres some obscure ass MMOs of some well known franchises that only get released in The Phillipines and shit.
>>2690967all old MMOs are populated by left leaning trannies, so probably
>>2690967CoH has a bunch of pservers which one will give us less hassle from redditors>>2690973Yeah its weird they test the market in asia and not the west where it may have been better received. id love to play a borderlands mmo and the photos of it on the old chinese websites looks fun
Oh and since we're doing suggestions I'm gonna suggest an MMO that's slightly shitposty but might be fun, probably more suited to a minigame night though:https://store.steampowered.com/app/380600/Fishing_Planet/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cityofheroes/comments/bl6chx/a_statement_about_homecoming/I wondered why there wasnt a /cohg/ on /vg/ anymore
>>2690967Not at all. You just don't choose Homecoming as the private server. CoH has like 10 Private servers.>>2690986Thunderspy is the one literally made by 4channers. Though I like Rebirth best personally in terms of features. If CoH wins we'll probably do a private server vote and I highly doubt Homecoming would win it anyways.
>chuds trying to recruit us to their private servertiresome
>>2691007Its part of why I dont want CoH to win because the real reason /cohg/ isnt around is because it ate itself alive with private server autism and console warring just like FFXI general. And I just can't be bothered with the thread being bombarded with schizo theories and old drama going on 7 years now just because we didn't choose "their" private server as if a bunch of people playing the game for two weeks would ever care. Its already sort of started in this thread.Though it would be funny if CoH wins and we just choose a dead ass 0 players relatively unknown server just to shut everyone up. Though I'm personally rooting for Xenimus overall.
>>2690778>>2690838Why isn't this game on the list yet?
>>2690895>>2690965Just don't engage with them? What they will do? We can just do our thing, cliques never been an issue, we had fun on Nin without needing to suck anyone's axe-woundMost of the empty servers have scripting issues or shitty latency
>>2691044I didnt even know about it but it sounds cool
>>2691044Tbf there are a lot of obscure mmos people dont even know exist. Along with Dynasty Warriors online theres also a Need For Speed racing mmo that I thought about suggesting to add to the list also but idk how many people would actually want to play something like that for 2 weeks
>>2691068Some stuff sounds like a "it'd be cool for one night only" thing. Need For Speed is one, the fishing MMO is another.
>>2691037I hate this faggot defeatism mentality, we can't enjoy good things because of a few schizos or worse, seething retards that falseflag as said schizos just to rig the votes in their favor or to make our experience sour? Didn't Nin week teach you anything?Don't be afraid to have fun nigga, if some weirdos show up, just ignore them and play the game. We are giving those retards too much power
>>2691082Yeah was thinking the same thing NFS online might be better for a minigame night
>>2691058>>2691088youre so blatantly obvious man
>>2691088Yeah you're right.
Someone made a /vrpg/ version of this thread. The first game we are playing is a short jrpg called Helen's Mysterious Castle. It has a cute girl warrior protagonist. Some of you may be interested.
>>2691318Thats actually pretty cool. So its kind of like a book club where you all play it then meet and discuss it? Or do you all agree to play to a certain point or something?
>>2691318Tell me moar about the project anon. Do you guys also provide torrents/download links?
buy an ad
>>2691326>>2691351There were a few options voted on. I thought of it like a book club myself. I found and provided a downloadable link but I'm not OP so don't expect it regularly. The game is only like $2 either way.
It's summer and most mmos have some sort of summer event going on, can we try to pick one of those
>>2691462Literally all you have to do is shill your game.LaTale won because someone started shilling the ost of the game, CoH will probably win because it's the one of the few being discussed
>>2691567what are yous shizoing about?
>>2691569Nigger if you want anons to vote on anything all you have to do is shill it, it's that easy

>>2690861Anarchy looks like an interesting one just by the virtue of being a pre-WoW MMO. Some excerpts stolen from the archives:>anarchy online if nobody has mentioned it. Really in-depth hard sci-fi MMO with a moderately active player base. It has twinking mechanics and crazy shit you just won't find in other MMOs. Please somebody read this and play it. It's very very good.>Moreover one had meaningful world pvp where factions could take control of lands, take over cities, and get faction bonuses for being in control (such as exp boosts).>Immersion, huge world, cool and interesting loot, interesting classes and game systems. the NCU is such an amazing game design i still think about.>They really should go with Anarchy Online. Not weeb shit, not toooo grindy, plenty of interesting and semi-sandboxy things to do but also some theme park standards since it existed before WoW did.There was apparently some drama with a youtuber playing it and calling it shit that drew the ire of their playerbase. Will be an interesting title to experience on it's face. Could be a hit or a huge stinker.
>>2692082I know exactly which drama you're talking about as I watch his videos. It's Josh Strife Hayes and his "Worst MMO ever" series. His argument was just because the MMO was good back in the day doesn't mean its good now. I remember specifically the quote "I can't play your memories."
>>2692125is there an mmo not named wow that josh strife hayes doesnt hate? hes critical of everything
>>2692125why do this to yourself
>>2692135Nope, it seems his issue with MMOs are its fundamental core.
>>2690861>City of Heroeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CDKV9MEg7UThe titular capeshit MMO with a lot of customization options for character creation.

>>2692465Anarchy is also an old school MMO, sci-fi.
Can we get some research on the possible CoH servers? Think that when we are dealing with a game with a huge chunk of possible servers, we should study all possibilities post-haste, at least that would guarantee that the we get the full picture during the polls and don't forget a server
>>2692586Might be outdated, and some of those servers might not even exist anymore but:Cake New Dawn: A sandbox server that threw out all the rules. New ATs (including new Kheldian ATs), every account gets a free level 50 character, TFs/SFs/Trials can be started solo, freeform ATs where you can select any power, the ability to play as a signature NPC (including Tyrant), and a ton of other changes.Homecoming: The first private server to pop up and therefore the most populated. It's another sandbox server, although less of a sandbox than Cake: New Dawn. They streamlined a lot of the game compared to live, with enhancements much more easily available, the ability to switch alignments whenever you want, and Incarnate abilities are given through regular content (no need to do incarnate specific content at all). You can start TFs/SFs/Trials solo and all elements of the game have been streamlined through the P2W vendor. Homecoming also acquired a license from NCSoft.Rebirth - A smaller server intended to continue developing City of Heroes the way that Paragon Studios would have. Some amenities have been added due to the smaller population than live, such as seeded salvage only needing four accounts to start most TFs/SFs/Trials, no daily cap on alignment missions and you only need 5 to change alignment, and incarnate XP is a reward option for completing missions in Dark Astoria. Despite the small population, there are Incarnate trials every evening (Eastern time), and mothership raids every Saturday afternoon (again, Eastern time). Because of the small population, it feels like a close-knit SG community. The character creator is outstanding with many new costume pieces and significant changes were made to power pools to make the less desirable powers more interesting.Thunderspy - Another small server that offers customizable Mastermind henchmen, missions that scale to level 50 outside of Ouroboros Flashback, and level-less hazard zones. Despite the small population
>>2692125oh I remember that guy, the first video I saw from him was about Swords of Legends online.He kind of shat on that game, but he was right imho. Gameforge adaptation was ass: atrocious VA, wrongly timed cutscenes, some texts were clearly google translated and made no fucking sense.I think it was a pretty good mmo considering the small team that made it, but I doubt we'll ever see it again in the west, but in case I'd love to play it again; I don't even know if it's still alive in china.God I'm so mad, I can't find all the footage I had saved for my housing. I made a concentration camp for chanchusI only have some WIP. You can also see the holocauster going directly into a furnace
>>2692607Taken directly from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cityofheroes/comments/11g0gzw/which_server_should_i_play_questions_answers_and/Was the most informative post I could find regarding each server.Rebirth seems the most vanilla one, and Thunder appears to be the one with the best customization. Customizable henchmen sounds nice. Homecoming seems the best to "play", dungeon and progressive wise. But again those informations might be outdated now
>>2692607>>2692586Unity - A tiny server that I don’t have any personal experience with but I do know they are comprised of a very friendly community and the only European server that I’ve heard about. They also offer one free level 50 boost to each account.Victory - A tiny server that uses the Homecoming code. To make things easier for the tiny player base, Devoured Earth monsters can drop Hamidon-O enhancements, recipes are seeded, and there's a small chance of getting a super pack at mission completion. Since their code is based on Homecoming, also offers a 64-bit client, and has good Linux and macOS support
>>2692631>>2692586>>2692607Also: >Perils of Paragon: New kid on the block, but very much the “red light district” of the community. They have a very true free form build that allows you to pick any power from any powerset of any archetype. Outfits you cannot find on other servers. Almost everything on the server is free, and you can start your character at any level you want. Their focus is create and RP the character you want with minimal limitations.It's a rp server, through and through
>>2692586Basically the three most populated are Homecoming, Rebirth and Thunderspy.>>2692622Yeah. Rebirth is the one most similar to the live game before it shut down, Thunder has the most qol features and updates, Homecoming has population. Everything else is pretty low population, Union has a tight knit community but its mostly EUs, French guilds, German Guilds etc.
>>2691318I'll check it out, thanks.
>>2692607>>2692586The City of Heroes subreddit lists these server as currently alive servers, last updated 5 months ago:>Asmodei>Cake Evolution>Homecoming>Rebirth>Thunderspy>UnitySource: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cityofheroes/wiki/serversThe only one missing from >>2692607 is Asmodei and the only info I can get about it is that its new and its small.
>>2692761>>2692799Rebirth might be the way to go then, seems the base game isn't unbearable dogshit, so going vanilla might be the best choice for this project
>>2692607>>2692622>>2692761>>2692816how slow is the base leveling of coh if we go rebirth?
>>2692135He makes money off it. Nobody wants to watch 30 videos titled "best MMO ever"
>>2692816>>2692827Don't take this as total fact as I only played briefly a few years ago when the private servers first launched, and only played briefly when it was a live game, which at this point was like 13 years ago. The game has 50 levels, the first 10 levels are piss easy, 10 - 40 is I would consider "average" for a western MMO. YOu do a mission or two and you level up. Then I remember 40 - 50 is when the grind starts and the exp slows down. I dunno what or how the different private servers have changed that though.
>>2692827>>2692816Doing some research and I found this https://wiki.cityofheroesrebirth.com/wiki/Experience but I dunno if it helps. You can kinda calculate by looking at the amount required per level and the amount enemies give.Theres also levelling pacts apparently: https://wiki.cityofheroesrebirth.com/wiki/Leveling_Pact>this system allows two players to create new characters (or use existing low-level characters) and have their experience be permanently synced, whether or not both characters are online. They will always be the same level, even if one pactmate plays ten times more often than the other. Also apparently in mmod fashion we just missed double and triple exp weekend on rebirth>Come celebrate our 7th anniversary with a week of double XP, Triple XP weekend, and Monster Mash to remember.
>>2692965Also while researching, Thunderspy has apparently added a hardcore mode which is pretty funny.>Additionally, Hardcore characters have permadeath (permanently locked upon death). They will remain on the character select screen, but will be unplayable. An obituary will be announced in chat when a high level hardcore character dies.
>>2692135there's a few that he said were okay
>>2692972>FuherNon got killed by Sneaky Thug (Veteran)
>>2692135Believe he thought RIFT, Aura Kingdom, LOTRO, and D&DO were pretty good in their own ways. Also recognized Neverwinter for having solid gameplay, but it was his trauma-dumping episode, as he used to be a veteran of the title and grew deeply resentful at how pay2win it ended up becoming (can't really blame him there).He also really got a kick out of the original Guild Wars. That was probably the most positive he's ever been about a game in general.The rest of what he's reviewed has ranged from neutral to negative, so that's like ~5 largely positive recommendations across 86 reviews (outside of glazing Runescape, WoW, and occasionally Guild Wars 2). His tastes trend towards being pretty strongly normalfag in nature, despite presenting himself as an authority on the wider genre.
>>2693122He also thought SWTOR was a good single player game but bad MMO. He liked Agent Story the best.
>>2692135he likes runes of magic and neverwinteri tried runes of magic after he gushed about it and it is p2w garbage and completely generic
>>2693147I mean he isn't wrong, SWOTOR doesn't work as a MMO, but it's a fun singleplayer game
>>2692465>Wonderland online>I already know I'm going with the loli, only because the game lets me play as the loliBased
Think I'm gonna drop out for a month or so until all these dogwater forced PvP/Lobby based forever alone games are out of this thread's system. See you all eventually.
>>2693802See you in 2 years, anon.
>>2693847EoS and Wonderland look alright but I'm sure we'll pick some epic serious slop game instead.
>>2693802I'm also going to take a break for a while, just not feeling up to playing MMOs right now.
>>2693973I'm waiting to see what wins to determine if I'm taking an extended break or not.
>>2693978That's fair, i'm just kind of struggling to get invested in a game that has no "end" if that makes sense
>>2693983I feel you there. Hopefully we get something decent.
>>2693983what would an appropriate end for an MMO be for you? a sane level cap?
>>2694016I feel like you're not really understanding my point, I'm starting to dislike the entire genre because it has no appropriate endpoint. Compared to a normal game with a credits screen or what have you, I feel like i'm just constantly on a treadmill whenever we play a game.
>>2694021It'd help if people didn't just sprint ahead as fast as possible the second you logged off so you have to get 30 levels to catch up every single time you get on.
>>2694031just stop being employed nigga
>>2694031hurts even more for me as i'm an ausfag and I'm lucky if there's a single other person online during my prime time. So even the journey is lacking along with the destination.
>>2694038Not everyone has access to daddy's credit card and never has to worry about money like you, anon.
>>2693423Yeah its a general consensus about that game.
>>2693802Lobby games are the opposite of forever alone, they are all about party gameplay, that's their whole point.The problem is you guys just don't play together, you set a start time but everyone ignores it and starts whenever they feel like it, a few people clique up and don't group with new people, and others just go straight into playing without waiting for anyone.If you want a group in any game just make a post on the thread saying where you are and that you'll wait for a certain amount of time to get one going, not that hard I think.The /v/ thread should also be made before the start time so newcomers aren't automatically left behind.
>>2694098I call them forever alone games because if you're not there day one you might as well not even play because of the points you listed. Cliques, friend groups, that's it. Miss day one? Sorry friend, better luck next game.
>>2694101I feel like that applies to every MMO with any kind of vertical progression.
>>2694021Don't get misled by the modern iterations of the genre. MMORPGs are treadmills by design. What makes this genre appealing are their social components and what its community is capable of building out of it. This projects goal is to venture these dying worlds and explore what each community left behind.
>>2694111Except we formulate cliques and leave everyone else behind and only 10 or so people get to actually experience it. Everyone else can eat shit.
If CoH wins the poll I'll actually get back into /mmod/. Wanted to try it for a long time now.
>>2694116Every anon that joins a game has the same desire to try out these titles. It doesn't take effort to integrate, but it becomes an issue if you don't join right away. Even so, there are many helpful anons that tracks back to play with newer anons, but you have to reach out first. Many anons are lone gamers and do not want to be disturbed, it is tough to distinguish who wants to play together and who does not.
>>2694120>using an ultimatum like this to shill your choiceCapefags are the worst
Did you guys ever play anarchy online? I've been addicted to it lately.and it actually has tons of crazy stuff you can do at low lvls, like literally lvl 60 is an end-game experience alone and the game has 200 levels, you can lock your exp also and just max out your character in insane ways for the giant low level dungeons.
>>2694147I just saw some anons saying they were leaving mmod, so I wanted to brighten the mood in the thread because I'm excited for CoH.
>>2694155It's too archaic for me to want to play by myself, but if I had others to play with I would actually give it a solid shot.
>>2694155>you can lock your exp also and just max out your character in insane ways for the giant low level dungeons.that sounds like actual fun
>>2694180Yeah that's the hurdle all new players face, when I originally played it as a kid in like 2002 I had no idea what I was doing but I came back all these years later and the game has amazing depth to it once you fully understand how to play.It's insane how much potential the IP and foundation has if it were to be remastered today, I remember funcom kind of wanted to do that with their "engine" upgrade but it ended up being so underwhelming when they finally released it and nothing like the teaser screenshots they originally released.
>>2692618>swords of legends onlinerecently I had downloaded World of Jade Dynasty, which apparently is made by the same devs and it's set in the same chink cultivation bullcrap world.I had read that you could play it without a vpn, but then I found out they want a monthly subscription.I’m not paying a monthly fee for a game where I’d be lagging nonstop and relying on machine translation to play.sad, it looked coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk_W_1gTfxA
>>2694254modern chinese mmos are all the same, they mostly just focus on nice visuals (and i admit they often look very good)if you've played revelation or anything like that, it's the same thing
>>2694261>if you've played revelation or anything like thatyeah I had tried it back when it became available in the west.It looked fine but gameplay felt old and it was already full of late stage asian mmo cancers even tho it was only in early access.I dropped it within a week.But SOLO was pretty fair: buy to play without p2w shit (no idea about World of Jade Dynasty since I didn't get to try it, maybe it's p2w)
>>2694297don't know about monetization but they've been trending towards insanely overpriced cosmetics instead of p2w these days, whales still whale and nobody complains about it being unfairbut in terms of gameplay and systems it looks identical to all the others, it even has the exact same stance switching greatsword / dual wield class that can be played as tank or dps, and the swordmage class, 0 originality in these games, though it seems original to people who don't play chinese mmos since they don't follow the usual DnD archetypes
>>2694297I kind of miss revelation, launch week was fun when it was super populated but yeah it had a ton of issues.Also was weird we didn't have the neat integrated in-game social media system like china did the main appeal was all of the social features and it felt like our version was just gutted for zero reason, maybe they were just too lazy to implement it for the west.
>>2694101It's not a lobby game issue, it's the no lifers who rush everything and then the other anons are dumped behind, Iris suffered a lot due to it, it was a regular MMO, but it relied a lot on party play.>>2694098Honestly, I think we should just move the start date a bit, we should start at Sunday afternoon (EST) instead of Saturday right after pic day, give more time for anons to setup and people to know the we are around. Anons who start early should be punished and exiled from the guild, guild anon should start at the predetermined time or otherwise, his guild won't be endorsed. It might be a hassle at the start, but if we stomp our feet and stand firm, they will learn
I work weekends so I will always miss the start of every single game we play.
>>2694147>words words words.People are just excited for CoH, anon. Many of us grew with it, seems the biggest game of the voting block
>>2694401I think that's a horrible idea.I'm from europe and after we take photos I often just go to sleep.It doesn't really matter that I start later; and it also shouldn't matter that someone started earlier (you can despise him, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter).In general, people will have a different schedule and they will pour a different amount of hours in the game, so there will always be players who level up faster and others who level up slower. the gap will always be there.by going full autism with bans you'd just decrease the amount of anons playing while, maybe, delaying the inevitable gap by a day.
>>2694428Early starters need to be raped til they learn anon.
>>2694444h-hey...
>>2694458
>>2694147It's better than "obligatory anime game so the clique can make cute characters and take screenshots both with and of each other".
>>2694480Honestly, CoH seems to have the better customization of the bunch, RYL and Echo seems like pure slop. The only other game that caught my attention from the pool was Wonderland, since it's turn based
>>2694505>he only other game that caught my attention from the pool was Wonderland, since it's turn basedSame, wouldn't mind at all giving it a shot but I wanna try CoH as well...
>>2693802Us anons need to become good at pvp that way when we enter a pvp game we can takeover the server. but I do agree with you on lobby games, hellgate was an exception because that game was phenomenal but always hate playing lobby games myself
>>2694524We can always play wonderland next anon!
>>2694609> need to become good at pvpUnless you are talking about high rate games where you can catch up with the player base in the VERY short time we have you are literally delusional, there is no way in two weeks you can compete with the average pvp nigger that runs around pking lowbies
My experience with this project is the only people who actually play these games are videogames and his e bf gf or w/e. Sadly none of you want to accept this. the rest of you complain endlessly.
>>2694685I only show up for games that seem quality or ones I played when I was younger to see if they were as good as I remember (and they mostly were), there's way too many terrible MMOs.
>>2694685VideoGame and Match do make me a bit uncomfortable, I must admit.
>>2694458>Chuuu~Cutie!
>>2694685I play too anon, but if the game bores me, I dip and show up only for pic dayI was there during SWG, HG, Nin til the end.
>>2694708Why so?>>2694685Honestly, I wonder why they play with us since they never party up with anyone but themselves
>>2692816I dunno. These games die out for a reason. It's cause the vanilla experience sucks ass in some way.
>>2694787just think if your parents hat beaten you more and you were born in the west you wouldn't end up like some fucking faggot lying on 4chan in the year 2026.
>>2694685Literally not a problem if you're playing on pacific time and not on fag hours
Even bad games have their benefits. Icarus with its taming system. Iris with its card system. So I play any game that gets voted for
https://ageofastir.com/I stumbled upon an English private server for Pandora Saga. Previously there was only a Russian server. Please add it to the list.
>>2694862Seems neat, reminds of ps2 monster hunter graphics
>>2694825>Born in the westYou are not white, Video. Stop deflecting shit, it's true.
is it the summer heat or is it capeshit that makes people go nuclear to the point where we're now now calling out anons for no apparent reason?
>>2694883I thought it's sort of like FFXI with post processing smeared on top of it. The designs aren't as good as FFXI though. I suppose I can see the comparison to old MH too.
>>2694524Well its good that we still have choice then as some people keep saying there's only pvp and lobby games left.
>>2694685Im unironically only here to take cute photos, thus I vote for the cute photo games.
i hate you anvil
>>2694942Please vote for cute photo games with actual customization...getting outfits in Nin and LaTale was hell..
>>2694796Its one of those games where level doesn't matter as much, as the game has a system called the sidekick system where if a higher level invites you to their team, you become their level and the rewards for the tasks they're doing get scaled down to your level. So if anyone wants to experience late or end game, you just ask a level 50 to invite you to a team.The only thing thats actually level capped is trials which is their version of dungeons.
>>2694951>Ruined movie nights>Ruined minigame nights>Vote for shit he doesn't even playFucking. Guess that explain why so many "schizos" were complaining during Nin and HG
>>2694862>Pandora Sagapiss coloured gamin'
>>2694915Its always been like this for a while, threadschizos because their game didnt win, "clique" anon.
>>2694930Yeah FFXI had really good graphics for the time, I suppose because it was primarily made with the PS2 in mine.
>>2694970I'm not sure if it's just particular sunlit areas that have the piss filter or if you can turn it off. Some of the random screenshots I have hoarded suggest that at least some areas look normal.>>2694981It's crazy to think how well FFXI holds up even today when it was made for the PS2. Like yeah the zones are quite empty and a lot of the environmental models are really simple but it still looks good.
>>2692965Thunderspy just had a July 4th Triple XP weekend which finished yesterday. So the classic mmod tradition of just missing events in mmos continues. Happened with Nin, Latale, Puzzle Pirates, etc.
>>2695004Even got some of the old promotional screenshots without piss filter which makes me think it's a particular set of desert-ish areas that have the piss filter.
>>2695014>Latalenigga we had the anniversary and burning event which giga boosted our exp
>>2694862that looks extremely soulful
>>2695004I like FFXI's aesthetic in general. It's very big hats and faded pastel colors. Which I think is why the MMO that was suggested is reminiscent of it. It has the faded pastel colors and baggy clothes, but it also has a piss filter, and no big hats.
>>2695023Oh I just thought Latale was like that in general kek. But yeah I just remembered, what we missed on Latale was the refer a friend program so we could have all referred each other.
Speaking of piss, here's a mini game night suggestion https://store.steampowered.com/app/3374840

>>2695086It wasn't on the banishment bench, just on the Pending Games list since it only got added recently and now it won the random roll to get added to the voting list.
>>2695030I know right. Back when I first discovered the game I was extremely disappointed to find out it wasn't playable anymore. There's just something about it that makes me want to play it. I don't have any idea if it's any good or not. Probably not since it had such a short life on official servers. >>2695035FFXI's aesthetic is hard to compete with. It felt like a culmination of years of FF artists' work. Released only a couple years after, FFXII felt a bit over-designed like something had changed for the worse.

>>2695184Thats me. I promise I won't schizo out in the thread if its not picked this time though.Maybe.
>>2695184It has one of the best "band" systems in the mmo industry, I really want to gather the lads and play some songs in the Shire
>>2695218that entices me a lot more to play it actually no jokerino sounds kino>>2695212is it in rotation this week or just out of banishment? id vote for it in 2 weeks after we play coh
>>2695238it'll be in the next vote
>>2695238The rotation list its been added to is the same one with City of Heroes, Wonderland, Rusty etc. So it won't be on the next vote, but the vote after.
>>2695218>>2695238To be honest as an MMO its not too good. The combat is quite slow paced and clunky and the quests are generic, the later quests are better as it actually delves into the Lord of the Rings story and you get cameos and stuff from the characters.But at the same time its one of the most comfiest MMOs out there. You can just not engage in the MMO portion and run your own farm, smoking pipeweed all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7YvkT6sv0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zql0YYW-oEwIts basically a case of your typical 2000s MMO where it wasn't just a theme park ride of grinding but was also a world you lived in. But its also a case of your typical 2000s MMO in being janky as fuck with slow paced combat.
>>2695338can we have a guild farm and house? sounds so comfy from the usual shit we play>>2695303>>2695305thats a tough vote for me cause id like to play one or the other
>>2695338>the later quests are better as it actually delves into the Lord of the Rings story and you get cameos and stuff from the characters.Cameos from characters sounds like some noncanon trash
>>2685458Ok going by this which has been 17 voters for a few days, theres an obvious power gap in votes between a couple of games, to the point we can split them into tiers.High Tier:>Dungeons and Dragons Online>WakfuMid-High Tier:>Hellgate: London>Star Wars Galaxies>Spiral Knights>Monster Hunter FrontierMid Tier:>2 Years Anniversary Revisit: Dragon's Dogma Online>ToonTown>Lucent Heart>Puzzle Pirates>Iris OnlineMid-Low Tier:>Universal Century Gundam Online>Nin OnlineLow Tier:>Riders of Icarus>LaTaleSo far, by consensus you guys think D&D Online is the best game we've played this year so far, and LaTale is the worst.
>>2695348>sounds so comfy from the usual shit we playI mean Star Wars Galaxies is pretty similar to it in terms of music, comfy guild house etc. and that was recent
>>2695376Consensus my ass, easily rigged poll and nobody who hasn't played all those games should be allowed to vote anyway.
>>2695376Didn't play DD, so I would rank SWG as my best experience this year and Icarus as the worst, LaTale is bad, but it still manages to have a thing or two going. The Icarus serb we player had too many idiosyncrasies from the og game which ruined the mood
>>2695095>>2695056>>2695348I know that theres some worries in the thread that we've played all the good ones and now all thats left is the lobby games, pvp games and most generic of the generic koreaslops but there is lots of good stuff left they're just not on the list yet. Lotro obviously, but STO is cool as we can own our own ship, We still have more pirate games to tackle, I liked DCUO, I've heard good things about Granado Espada, Perfect World would be interesting, Dynasty Warriors Online sounds cool, Medirian59 has that historicalness about it. So theres some interesting stuff still.
>>2695338I blame discord and social media for ruining spaces like this. MMOs used to be more about having a "virtual, fantastic second life" than all that grindy, hardcore content treadmill, Tygole pushed for more and more treadmill-esque content and social media ruined the other half.Fuck this gay earth, we went the opposite of what our predecessors thought the internet would he in the future
>>2695474There's also Lineage 1, Asheron's Call, Priston Tale, CoH. Defiance and Wonderland seems comfy.Did we even play EQ 1 and 2? They seem good contenders for this project.I also don't know why the OG PSO2 isn't on it, since it's pretty much a dead game at this point
>>2695376It's flawed because I'm forced to rank games I haven't played
>>2695474There is also a bunch of MMOs releasing and (dying) yearly, plus projects to revive dead MMOs and private servers for games that got rotten.Heck, Nin is only one year old (After moving from BYOND), so there is hope for gems to pop up here and there.I am particularly hyped for a Digimon Masters Online private server that might launch this winter, it's a weird game, somewhat grindy game, but with proper pserver crutches, it might be fun to play
>>2695487>OG PSO2no private servers and the current version of it is an abomination
>>2695509Why so? It's the same game as 7 years ago, think there's a mod to disable the new graphics
>>2695487Everquest legends soon so it should definitely go on the list.
>>2695378I skipped on the anniversary games because they were only 1 week
>>2695524If it were the same game people might still be playing it, but it's abandoned because the game relied on a live service gear treadmill to keep it interesting, without the constant influx of new things there's very little to it, you hit max level fast and get the best gear and that's pretty much it, I can't find the graphics mod you're talking about either.
>>2695487eq had a general when this project started and honestly it's such a fucking grindy game that we wouldn't get very far in 2 weeks >>2695549no fuck that shit
>>2695621We playing LaTale nigga, this project doesn't care if the game needs years for you to reach endgame.Put that shit in the random pile and let anons decide
>>2695621at least eq2 doesnt that one play like wow
>>2695376>>2694609Was Hellgate really that good? It looked like complete ass to me so I skipped out on it when you guys were playing it. Did miss out??
>>2695661eq2 has a sub
>>2695672I found it incredibly addicting and enjoyed every minute of it. it was pretty much a third person over the shoulder diablo and was a lot of fun, you could have many different builds too and the loot was good. the only con was you saw a lot of the same layouts in maps but otherwise yeah I enjoyed it, but we were also coming off of icarus which was complete garbage so that may have had something to do with it>>2695684people still pay for it? last I saw that game was fucking dead like 40 people online
>>2694143>It doesn't take effort to integrate, but it becomes an issue if you don't join right away. that's the main issue with the project, if you miss the initial window of the first 2 days you're usually left behind. I suggested it during DDO that it's actually worthwhile making more than 1-2 threads on /v/ especially if a game gains traction because you'll actually get new joiners to play together with
>>2695684There's private servers for eq1 and 2
>>2695524>It's the same game as 7 years agoIt's really not. There's so much shit you will never experience now. No concerts, no Emergency Quests or anything. I don't know if they even have seasonal events still running. There used to be a funny Easter event where you'd run around a map killing shit to one of the Eggman themes.Additionally, I recall some research being done briefly after the release of NGS that indicated Sega might've turned the tick rate for the old PSO2 instances down to save money, as there were wild inconsistencies with buff durations (+/- like half the duration) and shit like that.It's a shadow of its former self.
>>2695783I didn't know there's for eq2
>>2695789>No more concerts and urgent questsFuck. That's sucks, those were my favorite parts of the game, casually grinding some goons in Naverius just to suddenly get a warning to go back to base and bust Luther, good times.
>>2695477I blame WoW for starting it, but discord definitely made it worse. Feels like nearly every MMO we go to these days the way you gotta find groups is through discord. Even with Nin, if you joined Mist village you had to join "Mistcord" as nobody used the general chat.
>>2695487I think EQ1 is considered too popular for the project, but EQ2 is dead enough. Someone said in the past thread that they try to avoid games that have popular generals here so we don't tread on them. But I dunno if thats true.
>>2695504>plus projects to revive dead MMOs and private servers for games that got rotten.That Matrix Online private server has to hurry the fuck up. But I heard its just one guy.
>>2695820None of those games have generals anyway. The SWG server we played last time probably has the same amount of players the main private eq1 server has
>>2695672Yeah it was pretty good. Probably 3rd or 4th fave game this year.
>>2695808Yeah, tell me about it. I still remember when the game first came out, getting the city map in an EQ and rushing to the end to fight Dark Ragne... shit was kino as fuck.The NGS concerts and EQs in comparison are soulless. Dogshit character and enemy design. Worthless fucking game.
>>2695820>Someone said in the past thread that they try to avoid games that have popular generals herebecause the idea was to play dead mmorpgs, not ones that still have an active playerbase on 4chanffxi and eq were not included in the lists because they had threads and looks like eq now has a thread for legends so I guess you can consider it active again while ffxi has been active all along
>>2695881CoH had threads forever though, only recently they stopped. The project has evolved past exploring dead mmos since people seem to only want to play on populated servers and metagame.
>>2695893>metagame Wdym?
>>2695893Yeah but CoH is literally a dead MMO in that its shut down.
>>2695893>>2695981>We thought of this idea on /v/ to play through random niche and obscure MMOs we vote on. Preferably games that 4chan hasn't already played together so the experience for everyone is the same.I don't know when the modus operandi changed but this was the original goal of the project. if fags are metagaming then we've clearly lost the plot
>>2696039Anon, unless we go full korean, it's prone to have one or two anons who already played certain games, you are schizoing too much about it. Again, just vote what you think fits the project best and play with us if you like the current game
>>2696054I just joined in on this conversation why are you calling me a schizo? It's about breaking intent of the project going into popular games with high pop servers, not if a couple autists already played a game through and through
>>2696077The SWG server we chose wasn't a high pop server though. And most likely for CoH too.
>>2696093I thought we were talking about games with a popular 4chan playerbase, which CoH ticks off since it had generals not long ago
The only problem I have is people consistently voting for known good games over unknown (potentially bad) ones. Icarus was shit but it's in the spirit of the project to play that kind of shitty game.I genuinely wouldn't care if FFXIV made it onto the list, even. What I care about is when people vote for FFXIV when there are options like Risk Your Life to try out that nobody in the history of time has ever heard of. It's not the MMOpartyfuntime. It's the MMOdventure. It's an adventure. I know that Icarus was shit now because I tried it for myself.
>>2695692>pretty much a third person over the shoulder diabloFuck, that sounds like it would have been right up my alley...
>>2696135>overcomplicating a post this much just to complain about Icarus again
>>2696135The issue is also that only known games get shilled and hyped in game and on these threads, and only a minority want to take a "risk" diving into unknown waters for 2 weeks. It's hard to shill a game you don't know about but that's the point of the project.
>Anon is trying to make people not vote on CoH, againDespicable
>>2696135Dunno anon, we consistently been playing unknown games for a while this yearWakfu and DDO were the outliers I feel, everything else had degrees of obscurity. Games like Aion, Lineage 1 and CoH been constantly eating shit during all votinh pools, so I dunno what are you into
>>2696217Stop co-opting this project to revive your dead general.
>>2696135I vote on games I want to play anon, there no more to it, that's why I won't ever asign points to contenders that have almost no party play, proper character customization and social mechanics. I play MMO to do silly stuff with anons and perhaps partake into some soft rp, the time we give each game is too short for games that have a heavy focus on pvp
>>2696240The people crave for heroes anon. Stop calling me your namefags, I just want to play 2 weeks of CoH with my anon frens and move on. Is that much to ask? If CoH fail again, I will just wait and shill the game again when it's possible, simple as
Don't forget to pour one out for Imouto, who was bullied for playing the game so hard that he stopped.The clique should vote for their own game.
Why has the past 7 or 8 votes or so been full of accusations that the winning game is some sort of shilling conspiracy to get players? Nin especially was full of weird conspiracy theories. Who the hell would go through all that effort to get players who will only play for 2 weeks then leave?
>>2696285It's one spiteful schizo who hates that we played games he doesn't like, that we didn't lick his cock and beg for him to stay, that he started while he had to wait one day in his wagie cagie.Those shitters get more and more retarded as the time goes out. One of them even went to harass one of Nin GMs in his discord just because.I often notice that the thread gets worse than we get a game that doesn't have much content or when there's a strong contender in the poll and it loses.Wouldn't be surprised if there were a cadre of anons who hated CoH a lot (taking into account it always jobbed at the finals) and they got hella salty that it might win this time. Seems the brunt of the issue comes from people who don't play the games and just complain, one of those tards went on to write a rant about Nin jumping puzzle a few threads ago, it's that bad
>>2696285The whole weird CoH server drama in the threads already has me tuned out. Downright tainted pick.
>>2696298>one spiteful schizo>shitters>one of themMake up your mind.
>>2696302I did warn people that it would be the drawback of voting for it. Theres a reason theres no more general because its full of conspiracy nutsos
>>2696135First of all, if you think any of these games compare to FFXIV you are just acting in bad faith.CoH is a DEAD MMO, maybe you have a bizarre definition of what obscure is, maybe you played a shit ton of mmos and most of the list is not a surprise anymore but it still applies as a dead and niche mmo. Even if it was once famous and popular like a lot of these were, it's still obscure specially now after so many years.The last mmos (nin and LaTale) were still very much officially supported and they still for sure count as niche, unknown and for a lot of people BAD (even if I liked nin).You are arguing over nothing because you got mad that people VOTED FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKED FUN? What the fuck are you expecting? If everything goes according to plan we are meant to play ALL THE ONES IN THE LIST, of course people wanna take the ones that look interesting first.If you have this much of an issue with the votes you should actively try to direct people to vote to whatever you think sounds more interesting, but by whatever bullshit you wrote, it looks like you expect people to vote on things that look bad, and have no drive to play, since NO ONE FUCKING TALKED ABOUT NOTHING EXCEPT CoH AND MAYBE TWO OTHER GAMES YOU FUCKING RETARD
>>2696302We will stand strong and play in a comfy server.I just want to make my Shredder cosplay, man..
>>2696258I dont mind shills during voting period. It makes the voting period exciting and allows me to get information on the various games and inform my votes. I just dislike the period when the votings over and then when someone's game doesn't win they start getting bitter and spite posting and try to constantly doompost about the game people are currently playing. So shill all you want just dont do that pls, not saying you do though.
>>2696343Honestly I want us to pick a dead server just to make all the console warrers mad that we didnt pick one of the big ones kek
>>2696077The server most people seem to be discussing in the thread is Rebirth, so that might win the server poll. It has 11 people online currently says the site. https://cityofheroesrebirth.com I'd say thats dead enough.
Everquest filtered me when I played it. It was the length of time that it took me to do things. Everything requires quite intense preparation and multiple steps. Even just setting up your spell bar. You can't even enter combat without setting up your spells and charges and stuff first. I can't imagine what dungeons would be like, it must require an entire nights worth of group planning and set up.
>>2696135I partially agree in that I think good games still count, but I also think bad games and experiencing them also counts. Thats the point of it all. Hidden gems and hidden stinkers, and flawed gems.
>>2696176Really surprised there's no third person ARPG gamepretty much ripe for making bookoo money using fomo cosmetic rewards, add in actual decent custom character creation, with tons of build variety and you will dominate the market.
>>2696204Theres a lot of people wanting to relive their nostalgia by playing 2000s classics, a time when MMOs had soul, and I can't blame them. So thats why those nostalgic 2000s games win a lot. SWG, Toontown, Puzzle Pirates, etc.
>>2696394>>2696226My fave thing about the project has been being able to play the classic MMOs from the 2000s as at the time a lot of them required a credit card subscription and I was too young to have one. So I get to see what the fuss was about wit those games back in the day. Some of them live up to the hype, some of them don't. Sometimes it really backfires and that classic MMO is a hollow shell of what it used to be (LaTale is a good example) The one conclusion I have from this project is MMOs back in the day were a lot more creative and took risks.
>>2692082It was josh hayes and that guy is a retard who doesn't actually enjoy mmorpgs he just wants single player WoW experiences like a faggot
>>2696409i wish there were even a single accessible latale private server, it would have been way more fun
>>2696382EQ dungeons are not at all like what this group would be used to.
>>2696204It only takes someone to shill the unknown ones. That's how we ended up playing Ferentus. >>2696226Indeed some weird stuff keeps winning the polls next to some far better known games.
>>2696422Whats it like? I'm curious.
>>2696382>>2696422I think the real filtering would happen with the mere ordeal that it is to get to level 10 if we were to play on P99 or Quarm. And it only gets worse from there. From like level 15 onwards you're looking at hours camped at a spot per level and often sticking to a single spot for multiple levels. It can be utterly mind-numbing when the game is as simple as EQ is.
>>2696423Unknown games are sadly stuck in that vicious cycle of>Nobody knows it so nobody plays it>Because nobody plays it, nobody shills it>Because nobody shills it, nobody knows it
>>2696392Take TERA combat and put it in a Diablo/PSO gameplay structure with plenty of loot. Potential for big money right there.
>>2696431"Dungeons" are regular open-world (non-instanced) zones. You(r group) finds certain mobs or groups/areas to grind. "Bosses"/rares are typically placeholder spawns so you would kill a certain mob over and over until that rare spawns. Loot in the game is also open to everybody so you ideally would not want to party with lootwhores.It's not a (mostly) linear trek through a "dungeon" where you fight multiple bosses to a finish point and acquire easy phat loot.>>2696438That too. EQ would not at all work with this group.
>>2696440I meant you should take a look at what the games are and if it looks interesting to you shill it even if you haven't played it. Nobody had played Ferentus but it was such an unknown that people got interested.
>>2696448dragon nest combat is more suited for that i think, killing mobs in tera is pretty boring
>>2696438>>2696452All I remember is choosing a magic class and having to do like half an hour of spell setup before battling a bunch, then having to redo it.
>>2696474Yes. You can only have 8 or 10 active spells at one time. You have to memorize them beforehand and if you die, you have to re-add them all manually.
We should play Risk Your Life. It was a hugely beloved game in Malaysia. The creative director for it went on to create Black Desert, which most fans of RYL seem to think was a step down from RYL. It had giant PvP wars and cool mechanics, apparently.
>Game I don't want to play wins>"Aw thats a shame, maybe my choice will win next time. I guess I'll take the two weeks off and just take a break so I don't get burnt out on MMOs">Have fun anons!Anyone else?
>>2696470https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JahyIWYko0holy kino sovl
>>2696338Anon, you should vote for the unknown game as a matter of course, before any other considerations. If nobody's talking about a game, that's a prime fucking reason to vote for it. If lots of people are talking about a game and clearly know a lot about it, then obviously it's not as unknown.When you look at the list of games and see a name that doesn't ring any bells, there you go, that's your fucking vote. Don't wait for some guy to go HEY HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS UNDERRATED GEM WAKFU and then vote for that.
>>2696135>It's the MMOdventure. It's an adventure. spot on anon. dont get the mentality of people who immediately write off any game that isnt the one they wanted or isnt well known or is already considered bad. we're eventually going to get to every game on the mmodventure list its just a matter of when. so are these anons just going to dip when all the "good" games are exhausted? im here to play everything that gets voted for no matter what it is
>>2696530I'm the same, I play every game and give it a week. I think by the Saturday I have a good idea of what the game is and if I wanna continue it..
>>2696338holy mald...
>>2696510No, I will vote for the game that made my dick the hardest through screenshots alone.
>>2696604damn straight

>>2696510Your problem is that you assume that the list isnt already curated.All games in there are considered valid for the adventure regardless of you or another anon having played it before.I'll continue voting on whats fun and hyping what looks interesting instead of whatever idealistic way you are thinking of only voting for something that no one is discussing
>>2696801Not equally valid.
>>2696810It is. Stop nitpicking anon. As everyone here said it, vote what you like, shill what you like and if it don't wanna play it, don't play it
>>2696756>Martial arts moviesMY BODY IS READY
>>2696801>the list isnt already curated.the requirement is just working servers and a vague rule on generals
>>2696942I think the general thing shouldn't be too strict. I'm sure every game has had some sort of thread or general at some point. So to me, the fact CoH had a general years ago doesn't matter to me because its about current and active generals. Like I suggested Tree of Savior last thread and then someone said it has a general but the general has been up since October 2025 and is just one person constantly necrobumping it and the odd comment here and there about how dead the game is. The reason I suggested Tree of Saviour was because I logged in and there was 10 people playing including me. So the thing is dead as a dodo.
>>2696918Shouldn't need to shill the main purpose of the adventure.
>>2694862OMG i've been looking for this for YEARS.. This game and Wizardry stole my heart, thank you anon!
>>2695056UO outlandsapparently something is going on with that server, their discord was flat out deleted.
>>2697272could be a nothingburger. maybe someone dumped loli and reported it.
Despite everything I've caught nostalgia for LaTale. It feels like a game I should have played in my early teens and wasted the next two decades thinking about.
>>2697294>our discord server inexplicably vanished>so let's set up another oneabsolute state of mmogroids
>>2697294Discord currently has an issue where the AI moderation thinks certain innocuous images are CSAM.Anything with a grid, basically. Even spreadsheets are tripping it and getting people banned.EVE players in shambles.
>>2697322Same. If I hadn't played Maplestory back when it was new in the early 2000s, and LaTale took that spot instead, I'd probably think it was a real gem despite its many, many flaws. (Although S1 LaTale and S4/Official LaTale are two very different experiences, and I've more time in the former than the latter by this point).Solo-heavy MMOs don't tend to play-out well among MMOD-goers for fairly obvious reasons, so its overall lackluster reception among this group isn't too surprising. Yet I could still see myself checking-in with LaTale every once in a while on my own time, whenever I just want to mindlessly grind for an hour or two.There's a certain "video game junk food" type appeal with this one, similar to Maple. At the very least, its aesthetics and OST are fantastic, and can be enjoyed separately from the game itself when the mood strikes.Every MMO we come across has reason to stick in the minds of those who've been courted by them, and it can be pretty cool to suss-out what's alluring to the diehards holding a candle for their respective MMO of choice. Granted, most of the time that reason is just raw, unfiltered nostalgia for a more carefree age regardless of the underlying quality of the title in question, but still.
>>2697818Found the sprites to be quite cute. 14 y/o me would have wanted to wife Iris, she's cute.
>>2697897Iris a cute
>>2698012Wish I could smooch her..
>>2697322i did play it in my early teens and do think about it a lot. not as much as maplestory though.
>>2697818>pretty cool to suss-out what's alluring to the diehards holding a candle for their respective MMO of choicethis is why I don't really shill my game. I want you niggers to experience it without my interjections muddling your view
>>2697177Wizardry the rpgs or the mmo wizardry online? I recall the mmo being very punishing on death, combined with getting ganked when you left town. I was never able to explore further than the first 10 minutes.
>>2695056For LotRO we should play the private server.
>>2698617didnt know there was a pserver for lotro and max level is only 50 compared to 160 on default. id be down for it
Xenimus sisters, what went wrong?
>>2698659Tibia-likes are lame, yo
>>2698659Trust The Plan
>>2698659I put it as option 3
>>2695056>RappelZBeen wanting to try that again forever, I remember playing it at a friend's house for a while, decades ago.
>>2698339The mmo, yeah.. it had some weird "perma death" mechanic but it added so much soul. My last memory was gathering a bunch of people to reach the furthest outpost and losing people on our way there.
La Tale after reaching 235 has seriously become, login, do dailies and dungeons, logout because there's nothing else to do until it resets again. Im ready to move on from this game
>>2696756Time's up, here are our movies for the night.I'll be fetching the links for the movie. Feel free to join while we listen to some music:https://hyperbeam.com/app/room/zMCev-AJS9CbYgYzs7elvAInvite for newfrens (let me know if it expires):https://hyperbeam.com/i/DP1vik3t
>>2699058>it had some weird "perma death" mechanicYeah, that's what put me off the most. When you died you could sacrifice one of your items to not die and the success chance was based on the value of the item. Of course what this really meant was that you wanted the cash shop items which always let you escape at 100%.Combine that with probably the most brutal pvp system I have ever seen and I can see why it never lasted. It's a shame because the setting and atmosphere had plenty of potential.
i miss anime mmos, sucks no one even bothers with any new ones. of course there is blue protocol but thats garbage
>>2699767>of course there is blue protocol but thats garbagewasn't it cancelled before it even got an official release in the west?
>>2699773it was but got a rerelease, its called blue protocol star resonance now. its basically just a mobile gacha mmo.
>>2699767Blue Protocol barely feels like a mmo desu, PSO2 was the one carrying the genre but it died, and Sega created something worse with it's corpse.All the other attempts like Tower of Fantasy sprinkled Gacha or other horrible practices alongside it.Honestly it's something that always eluded me, anime games always leaned heavily on the Arena Fighter/2D fighter field, we barely had any outliers, Kakarot and One Piece Odyssey set a path for inovation with the IPs, but all we got was more arena fighters
>>2699779more of a remake than a rerelease, there is a private server for the og but it's been years and still basically nothing works in it
>>2699781>>2699784thats true
>>2697294>>2697272if outlands is a total bust by the time we actually click on it, i'm still rooting for the Memento conversion of UO to be considered here. a more single-target focus, a lot of quality of life for the crafting skills (which don't take up skillcap), and a roguelite mode if you want to start way weaker and build something up for the challenge. it's essentially different enough that it wouldn't even be out of place as its own entry on the list, i think.aside from that, if anyone plays outlands, can you tell me if the mahjong board item actually works? i assume there's one in the tavern if you don't just know where one is already
>>2700622momento is kino, definitely would be way more fun than outlands IMO
The vote results are really close.I’m not sure how many people can still cast their votes tho. Just one more vote (matching the total from the game 55 elimination round) might be enough to flip the outcome.(I'm fine with either coh or xenimus winning, I just don't want to play a lobby game)
>>2701622>I just don't want to play a lobby game>coh
>>2701869CoH is open world and has raids up to 30 players, wdym?
>>2701894The majority of content is instanced, the open world is essentially a hub for choosing which mission to run. It depends on the server chosen but I don't think we'll make it to raids in time.
>>2702036We can easily reach raid level in 2 weeks, even more so if we pick a server with more beginner friendly catchup mechanicsLower level anons can also join dungeon runs due to the level scaling
>>2702036Instances is not the same as a lobby game and the open world is not a hub as there are also quests you do in the world. The usual MMO faire, kill 10 of this, kill 10 of that etc.Yes a lot of the missions are in instances but thats like saying Wakfu is a lobby game because that also does the same thing.Also as another anon said you can pretty much do raids from level 1 as the game is level scaled. It depends on the team leader's level.
>>2701622how do I vote
>>2702214not sure if the procedure has changed, but the instructions should be >>2516861

>>2702551I hope we just keep it pirate theme from now on.
>>2702551>>2702671We should keep the aesthetic of the last game played desu.So 2010s weebcore for Nin, Sololeveling grinding treadmill hell for Latale, and so on
>>2703343I'll bring my nyanspeak translator for the nyext weeb game.
I am so ready for the next mmo.
>>2704105I gave up on Latale already kek. Gonna be honest, worst one of the year.
>>2704215I want to but we are still 2 days out from next game. I just want to listen to my podcasts and play mmos but the game is so fucking boring after awhile and especially once you get into ascension and youre just grinding the same dungeons over and over again day after day
>>2704215>>2704280followup yeah I think Im giving up on it. Ill show up for last saturday pictures but I cant take it anymore. game pisses me off because I feel it had so much potential
>>2704527For me it just got to the point where I was still doing the same thing as 2 weeks ago. I have accepted that this is simply what LaTale is now. Which is a shame as the screenshots from the anon on the private server show that at one point, it was an actual game.
>>2704580game feels like you never stop leveling or progress in anyway and the higher you go the slower it gets until it becomes unbearable like what it is now. if the pserver had been open we should have played it and maybe our guild would have had a better time. been the case so far with a lot of these gamers where we go official or choose the wrong pserver and just have a horrible time CoH server pick needs to be good
>>2704680Thunderspy is the best from a content standpoint.
