>Chivalry 1, launched in 2012, based in the HL2's mod 'Age of Chivalry'Has this kind of awesome bloody combat that has some Monty Python moments (Chivalry 2 is even better).>SWTOR, Black Desert, Guild Wars 2, WoW, Conan Exiles, New World, Runescape, Throne & Liberty, TESO, Warframe, Destiny 2, Planetside 2, (future) EVE Vanguard, etc etc.Have bigger budgets, better engines, constant updates or are new. The combat is boring, lame, awful or meh at best.Imagine if we could have the gory coolness of Chivalry with the massiveness, epicness and kinomatography of the MMO genre and MMORPG subgenre.Why the stagnation? Where is the innovation and search for new fresh experiences?
MMOs require more funding than other types of games and therefore have more investor bullshit breathing down their neck. Ability bar combat is shit but WoW has it and it got huge so the investors say everyone should copy WoW. Then there's the problem of adding meaningful rewards. If the combat is as skill-based as chivalry then there's basically no gear upgrades which removes the sense of progression that is the entire basis for keeping MMO players on the hamster wheel and that's how the developers make subscription money. And also there's the performance problem. I'm no computer expert but I can imagine running servers with thousands of players doing chivalry combat is way fucking harder than ability bar combat.
>>3846166>Skill-based that requires getting gudLol dead on arrival
>>3846166Planetside 2's combat is pretty great, although it's not an MMORPG, so I don't know why the fuck you even included it.
>>3846408>read OP>MMO genre and MMORPG subgenre.>Planetside 2 is a MMOFPS with classes (little RPG exp) so it's included in OP's postAnon, are you blind or illiterate?
>>3846172The constant improvement of tech will solve of this issues.>>3846261No.
>>3847131>The constant improvement of techlel, tech has been on a downward spiral for 15 years. Nothing but jeets in a cargo cult at this point.
>>3846166MMOs are all about mass market appeal.Chivalry combat is the exact opposite of that.Do the math on when this would ever happen.
>>3846166Lost Ark has good combat but it's completely ruined by typical Korean p2w timegate gacha slop. Fuck those niggers! why can't we just have the nice things without the bullshit?
