Persistent world, and it pretty much means exactly that. For example, the DMs run plots over a few weeks or months. Say a political figure is assassinated, that NPC will be removed from the game the next time they update the module and he will be recorded as dead. Say a town is raided and destroyed, it will remain a ruin.

I'm not in a dedicated group unfortunately, but there are a dedicated core group of RPers that have been playing that same module for years.

It was fun, I really like the sense of liberty that Aion give you with gliding, and I love PVPing but having to farm the same instances every-fucking-day and go in every fucking sieges, especially with a shit PC, was eating 10+ hours of my life so I decided to drop it.

Ah, well I sort of made it a bit unclear.

You can jump in the game at any time, the server is always running and reboots 3 times a day for stability purposes. RP doesn't _have_ to be run by a DM, but for things like spawning a special NPC, maybe some flashy effects, teleporting players etc they are needed. Pretty much all the RP is done by the players whenever and whereever they feel like it.

For example, I'm a druid and I see some warlock setting fire to trees or something. My character is neutral evil, so I go up to him and threaten him to stop or else I'll kill him - you have to give people to RP their way out of PVP. He can choose to apologize and maybe I can report him to a local governing body (so this is where you go an PM a DM), or he can be difficult and aggressive, in which case we fight.

For a DM run event, there was a case a few months ago in which a dragon was sighted, and something was heard about its eggs being scattered. This being DM run, the DM had to spawn a dragon in some cave somewhere, and spawn some of its eggs around the place. Obviously people are going to want to get their hands on the eggs for various purposes. I managed to get ahold of one, and took it back to the dragon, for which I was awarded gold and XP.

It's very much built up from the base game with dozens of scripts, classes, modified and new feats and skills and all that.

Aion is unplayable if you really want to go for end game PvP gear and farm all those fucking medals and AP. Just get Blood Mark or some other cheap set and kill everyone with that, most players are bad enough that you can kill them regardless of how ridiculously overgeared they are over you. Just don't play as Sin if you're gonna do this.

BM gears can only make you go so far tho.
As a Gladiator you're kinda forced to get AT LEAST the rank 1 gears (You need the space for dem fucking over priced composite crit/accuracy stones) since with BM you get melted by anything that use any kind of magic.

Also it's not about AP and medals anymore those are piss easy to get nowadays, there's a new thing you need to farm to get pass the rank 1 called Glory points.
You need them now to get to Officer rank 1/2/3...etc instead of AP and you can only get them during sieges (100-150 per sieges) and high end game instance raid (50 per victory).
To give you an idea, you need at least 5700 of them to get to rank Officer rank 1.

To get the relatively cheap and incredibly good gear set rank 1 you need to be at least officer rank 2.
With 8300 GP I was only classed 750/999 of the officer 1 rank, so it was really too tiresome to keep on going, it felt like I HAD to spend those 10+ hours in game everyday if not I couldn't get anywhere.

Oh I'm well aware of GP, just forgot to mention it. And it's exactly because farming GP+medals+AP takes you so much time every single day that I said it was unplayable.

And seriously, you're going to get melted by magic anyway regardless of gear, unless you make a full Msupp set. Then you won't cause any damage and they'll simply outlast you anyway. Magic classes on Aion are the most unbalanced shit there is, so either play them or don't bother trying to live up to them.

Also, what server are you playing that only needs 5.700 GP for 1-star? On NA Siel it's fucking 11.000.

Oh my bad, since you didn't mention it I though you dropped Aion before that.
And I was Asmo Tiamat, I guess you are playing Elyos on Siel?

And well, I don't have a Msupp set but with the stigma Magical Defense I have usually enough time to survive the burst phase of Gunners and Sorcerer and can kill them after that.
Unless it's one of those General/Officer 5 one where I can't even kill them with buff Zerker + DP 4k on.
Or a SM, because god DAMN fuck those.

And yeah I agree about the magical classes, a game where a Gunner can kill you before you can even touch them because lolnoanimation and a fucking Cleric can outburst/dps a Sorcerer spe CC is simply bullshit.

Playing pso2. 800+ hours in still having fun for the most part, maybe less so now that I'm max level with ranger and have experienced most of the game, but trying other class's keeps it fun and I like collecting outfits.

Tried going back to Mabinogi at one point, but the combat felt slow a clunky after pso2. Cant be bothered to do tiresome events anymore either, will wait and see if it gets some notable content to play again.

Back in the days, I used to play a mmo called Fly for fun (aka Flyff), back then it was a pretty cute sandbox game with a lot of pvp (but limited skills).
Though nowadays they completely nerfed the PK PVP with a punishing system that nerf your damage after each PK kill, and the game is extremely Pay2Win.

But what I liked the most about the game is that it was a paradise for any kind of theorycraftingfan since you could put your own stats yourself and also put bonus stats on your armors, weapon(s), jewelry, fashion and pet (which also give you stats), which it's why it's so P2W I think I have put over $2400 on it... but heh, at least I was in the top 3 strongest heroic Knight of my server at that time and the only 1v1 mixed AOE with my own original build based on DEX/STR and HP.

The OST was pretty neat tho.

Mabinogi isn't EVE in the sense of skills. You can grind at your own pace instead of paying to wait, so no it's not too late.

Fighting's dumbed down and easy now due to both power creep and battle system changes due to players constantly whining it takes more than 2 seconds to kill 20 monsters, and some stuff that was too hard to casuals in the story quests were made easier (for only the first three storylines).

It's still the same game besides that and they got rid of most of the freemium stuff from the start.

>Buying power
Fucking mobile game culture. Plebs falling to the simplest of human temptations.
Oh well, that's like 15 years of WoW subscription. Money is made to be spent. I'm sure it was some sort of relaxing retreat for you. There are stories about adult Diablo 2 players who didn't know fuck all about the game, but bought power from eBay way before these types of games were a thing. Nothing really wrong about that though since it was mostly a single player game. Interesting stuff.

I'm kind of curious of the new GW2 expansion, I wonder if they'll finally add proper endgame. That game was pretty fun to explore.

Well it wasn't much "buying power".
Basically on that game to upgrade your gears after +3 you need a scroll to protect your weapon, because if you didn't your gear will simply break.

You had to do that for every pieces of your 4 armor, your weapon too, you could also add an additional buff on your armor chest by piercing it 4 times (if you failed it would break too so you needed a CS(=Cashshop) scroll too), you could also upgrade the element of your weapon for more damage but you also needed a CS scroll, you could also upgrade your jewelry but you also needed the CS scroll to protect it, you could also awake your gears which would give random bonus on your gears but you needed to buy a reset scroll from the CS to reset it and do it again...etc.

Basically you really needed money to upgrade your shit which was awful.
In the end I sold my character for 600€ tho.

You can't. MMOs are super boring shitfests without friends. Sure, you can grind up for some time alone, but after a while, you'll come to the point where everyone else is going in parties, while you'll be left standing in the dust, with nothing to do except start a new character.

Well that is mostly just MMORPGs. It's not hard to see why too, the group dynamics of a grind game with huge time investment are quite specific, everyone despises "pugs" (I haven't played WoW for ages, I understand they put "Looking for Raid" in) and gives zero effort if they have to deal with one. I'd like to see something new tried, even if leveling and putting that 100 hours in before you are the "real deal" is a quintessential feature of RPG.

the problem with MMO's now is that they either have to cater to normies who play two hours every second day while tabbing in and out of facebook, or they don't get funded.

Either that or they try and innovate too much or try to appeal to too niche of a demographic and die out really quickly.

Thats pretty true, but I've learned an appreciation for a more casual kind of gaming. Back in Vanilla WoW players were expected to put in 14 hour days going nuts to get things like the high PVP ranks. Things might have opened the door for complete casuals but the industry was right to scale back on things like that.

How can you take it easy, keep your health, enjoy the outdoors, and also put 14 hours a day in a single videogame? It's impossible. And that assumes you are a NEET, too.

On the innovation thing, thats also right on. The most innovative MMO I've ever played is Age of Wushu, despite it getting a really bad localization in NA. Going all-out on new ideas like realtime idling to level and entirely cropping out most pve aspects of the game allowed them to make a game a lot more interesting than their (obviously limited) skill and experience would have otherwise allowed had they taken a more traditional route.

The third thing is the real problem. MMOs never fucking die. Not the original ones. Like past 2005, everything is just trying to get fans away from their old games, and failing to do anything except maybe fragment a smaller and smaller population. It's going to take like either another decade for fresh people to get online or nearly every existing MMO to die to get enough people to make a good new truly successful MMORPG.

Playing FFXIV currently.
Hoping the expansion introduces some more content that's inbetween the two extremes of "You need to have literal brain problems to lose" and "team jump rope which is impossible without going through the arduous process of finding and keeping together 7 non-retarded people".

Especially, since with the latter once you're behind the curve it's a grueling process to catch back up even with better gear and the nerfs they'v made as most of the non terrible people are beyond that.

I also wish the game wasn't mostly populated by utterly disgusting and obnoxious cat people, but I'm able to mostly mitigate that by not associating with such people, aside from how often SE gives them the spotline in various storylines so far.

I just want a fairly substantial amount of stuff that's somewhere in-between the difficulty of how dungeons and the Crystal Tower set of raids (i.e. faceroll easy) and Coil is. I hate this term, but something "midcore".
Something more in line with the Extreme Primals or T1-4 when they were current would be nice. They were fairly difficult but at the same time you could form a pick up group and have moderate success at them provided everyone had an idea of what they were doing and knew how to play their class but weren't really so mechanically heavy that they'd fall into the Team Jumprope description like pre-nerf T7 for instance.
Like on my server's Party Finder for instance, it's basically all people advertising for various things rather than anyone really trying to do anything.

I'm all for there being higher end content beyond that, even though it isn't really for me for various reasons, but being left with content that's basically wholly unsatisfying due to its ease after the first time spent figuring it out with a couple of friends otherwise isn't really appealing either.

You don't gain any benefit to doing that. The player will weaken you, the boss will weaken you, and then you have to fight the boss in your weakened state. Your delusions of popping out of the bush and killing someone while the boss is at 10% will never happen. What will happen is someone(s) will camp around the boss whenever they notice it and kill anyone who comes in the area because he can and it prevents anyone from getting anything.

>Not if the spawn location and time is randomized.
The guild will just gather its people and go where it is, kill everyone there, and take the boss for themselves. "But you won't know when and where it will appear" - well then either A: They have enough time to kill it uninterrupted, meaning there's no point in open PVP and/or the boss is too easy or B: it'll take long enough to kill that once it's random* spawn points and times are known, they(the guild) will hunt it down.

*It'll be some fixed set of possible locations no matter what. No game would be good if some random boss spawned a open PVP area right outside of newbie town on a random moment in an otherwise non open PVP game.

You literally just described Ragnarok, except you can't kill the dudes competing with you.

The other dude kind of has a point, though. I know because I've had a Ranger people were simply unable to compete with. It didn't matter if they found the boss first and whacked at it for ages before I arrived, I just did so much damage it would always give me the loot. It came to a point where from like 4pm when I woke up to around 6am when I went to sleep no one would even show up to try and kill it, because everyone on the server knew they wouldn't win. People only competed when I was offline.

I played Flyff but would always get super bored around level 35 or so. Plus there was not a lot to do.
Kill stuff, collect stuff from the killing stuff, then kill more stuff. But at no point was it fun. I guess the fun is in the end game content or something (where I never got to because boredom).

No, you're right, Flyff was just a braindead farming machine for leveling up and it was worst at the end game when you need to collect 90 mob one by one to AOE their ass, the only fun was in the wild PVP.
When there was no Billposter around to OHKO you with Asal.

/jp/, I require your assistance.

I'm translating a manga published at C86, and there's a reference to a game called スナイパのキョ (Snipe no Kyo, possibly Sniper no Kyo if it's a typo). The only context is that it might be a game you log into and that it might be played on PS3. Anyone know what the reference would be, so that I might be able to get a better translation than just romanization?

I don't understand that either. Even if the game did come out, it would be missing a big part of the content (anime/game costumes and weapons, always be behind in content). Since there is not a big an issue of lag like there is with an open world MMO, theres no real reason to avoid playing on the Japanese servers.

I wish I could find one of those. Most I find is just slave2fun which requires all your spare time to just pass the boring content and reach the fun.

I'd rather spend 10 bucks than 1 month to get an item. Sadly even those called pay2win are more like steal2fun since they try and take all your money for minimal fun.

If you play FFXIV with friends, chances are you'll have more fun playing any other game. It's just that kind of game. Friends mask how dull it is.

Not that any of my friends, who I'm rarely in contact with these days, actually play it any more.

I had fun with it for the week or two it took me to get a max level character just roaming around the world doing stuff with a couple of friends. Endgame stuff turned out to be really disappointing, partly because (at least when I played about a year ago) there wasn't much to it and partly because maxed or nearly-maxed stuff and stats were easy to get.

The world design and world events and area quests were pretty nice, though. Definitely fairly fun to play casually.

FFXIV is too much of a bummer to play sometimes. I just can't get into that static circular arena memorize-the-mechanics-on-youtube 8-man shit. Maybe one day, they'll have dungeons that aren't absolute garbage and intentionally designed to be sped through like a chore.

I am enjoying crafting and the extremely broken and mindless PvP however. It's just me and two other friends getting rich, playing dress-up and having a good time in the rare evenly matched 8v8v8 FL rounds.

Are there any MMOgames with lots of good drops? Like you won't have to run an instance 100 times just to get one sword, nor will you get 100 shit swords that sell for 2 pence each from killing random field mobs for a few minutes.

Something like you'll walk out of town to go kill shit and walk back into town with a bunch of stuff you can sell or put in your weapons to make them better or make other stuff with them or maybe you got 20 of the same axe you already have but one of them has 5 more attack than yours and 3 others have max empty slots while your store bought one has none.

Path of Exile is probably the best if you want 20 of the same axe you already have, but loot drops favor quantity over quality in that game. You'll often have to make your own gear in PoE, both during leveling and end-game. Which complements the quantity thing. You WILL find 100 shit swords, but you'll also find a couple swords better than yours, and dozen swords that could be even better than that with some upgrading.

If you JUST want good drops, I'd recommend Diablo 3. Blizzard's Loot 2.0 is neat. http://www.diablowiki.net/Loot_2.0

>>13011184
The problem with loot 2.0 is that you look for the exact same shit for every piece of loot, just a higher number. Not to mention that slots are absolutely required for max dps, and an item with good rolls but no slots is basically worthless. The difficulty curve of the game is also retarded because of how equipment stats work.

Diablo 3 was ruined as soon as they made equipment give you tons of incredibly high amounts of base stats like str/dex/int etc. as if it was WoW. Every item used to be unique in what it can offer, but in D3 every item is essentially a statstick where you just stack all the main dps stats, and some vitality to not get one shot. There's also no challenge in the mobs or bosses whatsoever because the design of the game is to basically get so fucking buff you're an unkillable killing machine or farm a lower difficulty, and the stupid unique/magic pack mods for mobs get really old because it's horribly one dimensional.

There's no going back on their decision anymore so that's that. The game is insta-stale once you've played it and realized what the design is like.

I desperately wish that I had been around for the heyday of FFXI. It seems like it was so much fun, but now the game obviously isn't populated like it used to be.

I played FFXIV for a bit, made it to level 35 or so and enjoyed it for the most part, but it got a bit boring. I thought about resubbing earlier so I could hit 50 on my Dragoon and then hop over to another class or something, but I dunno. MH4U comes out soon so it almost feels pointless.

It was fun, but the entire game was a bit of a slog, like leveling. Especially in ToAU if you weren't a RDM/WHM/BRD, maybe PLD/NIN/WAR, and whatever the current flavor of the month damage dealers were.
Or you'd run into situations like you'd spend an hour putting a party together, spend 30 minutes getting to a camp only to find all the non-garbage spots full or after 5 mobs half the people would need to go.
Endgame was pretty fun though I'll grant you that.

I thought FFXIV 1.2x (i.e. after they had fixed the game outside of things like the core problems with the engine) was a pretty good modern successor to XI but they threw it all out to become a WoW clone in the transition to 2.0, and sort of lied about what changes the game would take in the 1.23b > 2.0 transition but I'd rather not get into that.

Had more typed up, but I accidentally refreshed the page and I don't feel like retyping it all up.

It also didn't help that until something like 2007 or 2008 (maybe? Can't really remember) a lot of players didn't really have much idea of how the game really worked so people would miss a lot and generally hit for fuck all damage when they did hit, and focused on using Skillchains, which were admittedly a nice but usually suboptimal concept, rather than using individual weaponskills which would have done more damage than the skillchain.

That doesn't change anything. You aren't customizing anything if the change isn't relevant.
For the change to be relevant, one choice or other has to have weight. If there are 70(?) choices, none of them is relevant enough.

Of course maybe they can make it work, I don't know, I haven't played the game, but I'm skeptical at best.

Only about 1/5 the classes max have similar traits to each other, and most of them are low rank, this is ignoring the equipment restrictions.

Same thing goes for Ragnarok, but even on a less scale for ToS right now as the system lets you customize a shitton more based on forcing you to leveling other classes to unlock more potential.

Like the dude before me said, devs said they purposefully made bosses easy for the beta test. But they also said they intend low level bosses to be easy on the final game, with long telegraphs like the ones in the beta, so that they can start doing it less and less as you level up until it stops completely.
