GLASSJAW Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well, a year later and Elder Scrolls Online isn't out and people are starting to rag on it. No info about Titan... What about Wildstar? Anyone interested in that? Looks kind of cartooney... only thing that concerns me about ESO is that it comes out in a couple months (april? march?) and there isn't a whole lot of media available for it yet. but when you DO read about, it seems super in-depth and awesome. who is ragging on it? i have read nothing but positive stuff (if not glowing stuff) from those who played the beta the monthly fee seems a bit dangerous in 2014 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say a monthly subscription isn't feasible for MMOs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Seriously no one mention eq next? That's suppose to be the next true mmorpg that resemble the uo days Honestly not many good mmorpg out there right now as the genre is dead. Swtor is just a single player game that was masked as a mmorpg. It's probably one of the biggest failure in recent mmo history. Tera was fun before you reach lvl 20ish and start going to dungeons. Then it becomes just an online game with a 3d lobby Ps2 is actually quite good once you get pass the newbie stage Gw2 stop being interesting when they release ascent gears and push the end game into the freaking dungeons instead of open world. They abandon the dynamic world they created and turn the game into just an online game. What's wrong with the mmo genre right now is that almost every single mmorpg is a wow clone. You basically lvl up, wait in city for dungeon queue and repeat. EQnext is suppose to be the sandbox game that would bring back the mmo back to mmorpg. Until then the genre is dead with a bunch of online game pretending to be a mmorpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably one of the biggest failure in recent mmo history. not sure how it's a failure other than the idea people had of it competing with WOW then yes it's a failure because no MMO is going to touch WOW numbers not going to bother looking it up but with f2p now i believe the player base is the 2nd largest now behind WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the budget of the game, it went from p2p to f2p in a matter of one year. No, they didn't went to f2p because of profit, they went for that business model because its sub number had been decreasing ever since it was released. EA even went as far as playing with the number game and exaggerated the amount of player until they can't no longer hide it with all the empty servers and such. 2. it was a failure even if you look at it from the gaming point of view. For a so call "mmo"rpg, it probably has the same online feature as a typical online game. Everything in the game was heavily instanced with limited amount of players you can play with on the same map. It is basically a normal online game where they would charge you monthly fees to play the game. Once you reach the max level, the game becomes just another raiding game with a 3d city chatting room. face it, the game was a massive failure and the only reason it's still afloat is because of the name star wars attached to it. If it doesn't have the ip, the game would be dead a long time ago. It is the poster boy of why spending a huge amount of money and copy wow is a bad thing. F2P of course would boost the game's player count, but it desn't change the fact that it's a bad game in its core. Hell even tera's player count is around the same as Swtor right now after going f2p.

Even the space combat you mention was nothing more than a normal 12 vs 12 air combat game in starwars skin. Wtf is the "mmo" element when all you can do is 12 vs 12? It's like calling counter strike a mmofps, it's just absurd. The main reason why Swtor is a failure, like I said before, is that it's just an online game pretending to be a mmorpg. It lacks of every single element that makes a game "mmo"... But I guess in an age where people would consider diablo 3 a mmorpg, I can't expect too much.

:D Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I only log in to SWTOR anymore just to do the space missions. Not even the PVP stuff, just to float around on rails and shot things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papayas Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've been interested in Guild Wars 2 for a long time, but my computer just isn't good enough. A bit late to play gw2 the open world is totally dead now and everyone would be just running instance from lions arch. It's best day were the first few months where there are tons of people running dynamic events all over the world. Now you can't even start certain event because the place is empty with players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A MMO I want to see is either a midevil wartime(no magic) or a GTA style gangwar style game. We always use to think while playing WoW how sweet it would be if Blizzard and Rockstar joined forces and made a World of GTA MMO haha. GTA online is ok but imagine if they scaled the cities to be a little larger and link all the previous cities together all the while having 100's on the map.

TheFastOne21 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Been keeping my eye on Wildstar coming out this quarter or early Q2 sometime. NCSoft and a company called Carbine make it. I am not a huge MMO person but when the right one comes out I put some time into it. Not 100% sure about the art style of it but the gameplay looks promising. Here are a couple trailers.
