Where did it all go so wrong, MMO genre?

Where did it all go so wrong, MMO genre?

2 months without functional partying

How is this bug still a thing? Seriously, It's a game people are most likely to play in a fucking party.

>western MMO community
>partying
lmao what is this, 2006?

It should be

Wait, what do you mean?
I've been playing with my friend the last couple weeks and we can form a party. It's just he needs to be the one initiating boss fights because everyone else is stuck in place, unable to move or use skills until they relog their character. I hope that's what you're talking about because if they fix it they might be able to fix the same bug that causes my hunter pet to be unusable 60% of the time I cast snatching.

I was playing with 2 other friends and they just gave up because of that. No idea if I can get them to play with me now even if it gets fixed

ToS has so many problems, Sup Forums doesnt have enough character space per post to list half of them.

>if they fix it
They haven't even bothered to fix it for two fucking months
why would you people think they'd fix this at this point?

I don't know but they might get around to it eventually. They're just so busy right now adding new $10 cash shop hairs/outfits and funnling all the money into their next game.

Cute butts are the only positive thing I can think of about ToS.

I like the art style and how it plays mostly. It's not anything amazing, but it's fun to dump a few hours everytime.

They haven't fixed it in the 2 months its been out + the what, year it was in beta in the west?

ToS was/is/and forever will be a game that failed because IMC is not only incompetent, but for whatever reason thinks ANYONE wants to play Wolfknights aka generic 3D MMO #2213123213132 except with massive engine issues like ToS has.

Why are they doing their own engine anyway? I get that you can control every little detail, but if you aren't good at programming or game design you don't really need that. Project Gorgon was made in Unity and it runs a hundred times better than IMC's game.

So they can make excuses and try to garner sympathy from their playerbase instead of being compared to literally any working game made on a pre-established engine.

Why do the Nipps get to keep Dragon Quest X aka Final Fantasy XI-2 all for themselves?
I mean come on, this game was supposed to save MMOs.

Keep in mind the game was straight up not available for new players to even get for over a month. During full release.

I really wanted to play this, and still want to try it...but why doesn't it have a client? I really don't want to install Steam.

Please try, I haven't checked up on the list of horrific problems this game has in a few months.

It always makes me laugh.
Last time was early june during the 'cut off new registrations and break fucking everything' period

I assume they will have managed to break even more parts of the game.
IMC is the most incompetent dev I've ever seen.

And why isn't there an MMO with nothing but cute furries?

I know it's already fixed but I thought it was hilarious when they removed all the bullet hell attacks without removing the ability for them to use those attacks. Tons of bosses would crash the game at random and if you didn't have high level friends you could never get farther than the first major boss.
Still don't know if Psychokino's gravity pole crashing everyone on the screen ever got fixed.

That was in the CBT and it was the best fucking thing.

The way it happened was this:

They removed the bullet hells in the korean version, which was way ahead of the international version.
They for some reason put part of the patch, along with the 10x price increase for repairs and 1/10 selling price patch into the game, because they're retarded.

They fixed the price thing in around two days because it completely broke the economy as there was no way for anyone outside of squires to survive.
The bullet hell thing was around for weeks.
It made progression near impossible, it was hilarious.

The mind control glitch that enabled town pvp was the best thing though.

I wasn't around for the mind control thing but I bet it was fun.
There used to be a cool thing where Cataphract would spear a Sadhu through the chest so they could run around the map freely. But between Sadhu getting much worse and Cata not waiting 120 seconds for its earthquake I don't know if it's not possible anymore or just not worth it.

>tfw bns, bdo, and tos are all shit
>tfw revelations is hype material to the fucking max but it will probably be fucking butchered by my.com and will be shit

WoW happened

You made this thread the other day, so i'm going to give you the same answer

>datamining
>it's all about "the grind" and "the gains"
>many people just stopped giving a shit about inmersion
>people browsing youtube guides to tell them how to play the damn game
>people play a multiplayer game like it is a singleplayer experience
>game has to force you to interact with others because players lost the ability to
>anything P2W instantly ruins a MMO
>only microtransaction aviable should be subscription and cosmetics (which i personally disagree having but they don't harm the game)
>in many MMOs, there are no true utility characters or support ones because that would be seen as useless for the guy using that account

If anyone wants to add to this list, do so, or if you disagree, say why

I make this thread a lot
MMO discussions (in general about the genre) on Sup Forums are always pretty alright
