because its shit

I don't play korean grindan garbage.

>Sup Forums tells me game will be amazing
>buy game
>half the content locked behind cash shop
>dead in a week

thanks Sup Forums

It costs way too much and knowing me I will drop it after 10-20h of play time.

Not worth it

mouth looks turrible

Is it still subscription based? Never paid for MMO and never will.

The game feels too much like singleplayer, not even endgame feels like you are in a group unless node wars (Which you have to be geared as fuck to even be accepted).

World bosses always feel like a zergfest, the only part that I don't know how is it is the pvp in the desert and the 2 dungeons it has. Also I always like playing support and this game won't let me do it. Everything else is very good desu.

Because once you get a character a few levels past the soft cap the game gets boring as fuck.

Most of the side content is based around afking or time locked. No reason to party since there's no dungeons and you can't help each other collect resources. World bosses are just a constant string of dying to random attacks and running back. Endgame is nothing but hours of gathering mobs and grinding praying for that .01% drop, and than fighting a few more layers of RNG to upgrade your gear. Also there's only a few gear visual styles for each class that aren't cash shop, so 90% of players will look identical.

Shame because it looks pretty, I liked the fake sandbox direction they went, and the combat is fun.

Stop talking about BDO.

What are some good MMOs?

what. Its been on sale for like $5 and there's no monthly fee

because there's nothing to really do as a group or socially other than get zerged by guilds in pvp. Everything is either actively grinding for money or afk grinding for money. Singleplayer was fun for a dozen hours though.

It's just too much grinding man. I'd just gotten my Ranger's awakened weapon to max level before i quit the next week. It's just too much for too little, and not even playing it with friends could alleviate the grind because the "Co-op' aspect of the game is so fucking bare-bones it's honestly shocking. The PvP Was shit because you'd get raped by people who'v been playing since day one that have full Tri-Tet level gear at +15 or they simply bought it with cash. I enjoyed the combat though, but when you learn you basically spam the same 3 moves over and over and over again because the whole end-game revolves around rounding up mobs and AoEing them down, I lost all enjoyment because the combat simply became I hit a button and a piece of cheese drops onto my plate from a hatch on the ceiling.

>half the content locked behind cash shop

Seriously what the fuck was this all about?
My friend bought this game and sent me a trial and I was excited to try out the character creator.
Turns out there's only one real armor skin available and everything else is locked behind the cash shop.

So much for that amazing character customization.

The bad graphics make my eyes want to bleed.
I tried to look past it, I really did, but I can't handle the constant popping everything does, the monsters, trees, grass, god damn everything thats more than 10 feet away is like watching a magic painting that switches between davinci to picaso.
Its completely jarring and I couldn't take it.

Other then that, it is pretty good an enjoyable, but fuck my life the constant popping.
High end mode does nothing!

This mmo has the biggest grind I've ever seen. Not having a level cap is a bad idea for a PvP game. Only the lonely round men in their mother's basement can stay top tier.

Because I got tired of rolling for better gear and getting fucked every week.

>8+ different "Currencies im being told i shouldn't throw away or touch, just build them up
>money is worthless
>combos dont even work half the time
>global spam you cant leave out of
I got to 40 for my cousins sake and never looked back

I'm only looking forward to Camelot Unchained and Star Citizen, but they still have like 1 year to be released. I was thinking of resubbing to FFXIV and try to get to endgame once and for all.

dungeon fighter has amazing side scrolling gameplay if you pick the right characters and a great east asian aesthetic with a very interesting back story

late game content is pretty cancer though and promotes whaling, but i would recommend playing through the story like its a single player game

Because I played it on release

XIV is actually starting to get decent
Legion is still pretty shit, but at least they're trying
ToS is only good if you hate yourself/want to scratch that ragnarok online "itch"
ESO and LotRO im told are decent

I'm more of a sandbox fag, so waiting on Chronicles of Elyria Alpha

playing a better managed mmo

Well if you can snag it for $5-15 BDO would be worth it just for the early game. Not as an mmo, just as a SP game though.

The Secret World if you want 10/10 story, setting, and quests. 2/10 combat and skills though.

Elder Scrolls Online if you want a themepark in that setting. Solid game but I'm sick to death of typical fantasy themeparks.

Guild Wars 2 if you never played GW1 and are ultra casual. Would have been rated a lot higher if GW1 didn't exist, and they hadn't ignored everything that people loved about it when they made GW2.

It's not F2P.
I'd love to just fuck around with the character creator though.

You can setup your own chat filter ingame. Fucking genius, not sure why no one else has implemented it yet. And my combos worked all the time?

Otherwise, yeah I agree.

Wish they had the choice of installing the character creator seperately, I only use it to fap and 40gb is a waste of space.

Last week I spammed screenshots and uninstalled the game so hopefully I have enough to play around with.

Considered it, then I saw the cash shop.
When the list of "must haves" is 80 dollars long, it's too much.

I got a few cash shop items for free from /vg/, i was one of the obnoxious avatarfags at release and some beta bought me items

I swear to fucking god if you were that terribly made Tamer with that shitty whisker tattoo, you were the reason I began to image filter on Sup Forums.

The texture pop in.

Seriously, I wanted to love this game, I tried, I really did. But in the end I just couldn't deal with the pop in.

I wish I could find a sucker like that. I need pets

BDO is great if you're playing casually.

>playing MMO's
>2016 and beyond

Because it's a waifu simulator for genetic dead end basement dwellers to take pretty screenshots with.

That's all there is to it. PvP is garbage, PvE is non existent, the grind is the most surreal you'll see in any MMO and it's pay to win. The entire budget was blown on character visuals, the rest of the engine is trash and there's no atmosphere anywhere whatsoever.

>tfw no playable Orc

They ruined potential chance for ERP

Im not such a degenerate

I just started The Secret World yesterday and the setting seems really interesting.

>there's no atmosphere anywhere whatsoever.

you can fuck RIGHT off with that. Everything else you say is true but atmosphere is definitely a thing it has going for it

You can spends days just wandering around, exploring cities and mountain tops and islands etc. hell just sitting in a pub listening to people chatter is nice

There are none

How is the PvP balance in BDO?

Is there ANY MMO on the market that has combat that's on par or better than BDO's, but minus the fucking grind and P2W?

Like, everyone raves about Final Fantasy, or WoW or even Guild Wars 2 and it's like...

But, tab-targeting combat is fucking gay.

P2W over the top grinding garbage.

>good mmos
even the kickstarted ones will die within a month

youtube.com/watch?v=mXpVYYihK8o

trash.

PvP is gear based. Skill has very little factor for the most part

Unless you're a Wizard or a Berzerker then you enjoy free cheap kills no make what you're in

Entirely based around level and gear. Skill has no part in it unless you are about the same gear and level as the other player, and than it usually comes down to class.

Back when I tried it pvp just sucked balls.

it's free in russia, but it installs a fucking bitcoin miner.

>he's still grinding
>not making 100kk daily with lifeskills

Enjoy your tri shit gear.

You know when in an MMO you generally avoid people rolling female characters because they're obnoxious and mentally deranged? Imagine a game filled with them. That's Black Desert online.

Just look at some of the posts in this thread to prove my point.

>extreme grind
>extreme stupid rng
>you failed to upgrade gear? no problem, just let me BLOW UP YOUR GEAR FOR FAILING FUCK YOU GO GRIND FOR TWO MONTHS AGAIN
>gear > class >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> skill

>youtube.com/watch?v=ok1My63zhes

To be honest, some of these looks to be really interesting. Especially Maple Story 2, because I'm such a huge faggot for the first one.

lotro WAS decent
eso is boring, if you want to play a single player game just play one

I'm not Korean or easily parted with my money.

You mean the game with next to no ambient songs aside from bird chirping in the middle of a busy street filled with NPCs?

The game with a non existent soundtrack?

The game where NPCs stroll casually along the road in the middle of a battlefield between Humans and Giants that never evolves and that you can't make evolve?

The game with trash google translated dialogue ,horrible voice acting and next to no story?

opinion invalidated

he's right though

the only good you'll get from this game is afking lifeskills while you do literally anything else to make silver to buy gear to grind to 60 faster which takes a literal 720+ days from level 56

>trash music choice
Agreed.

>14 hours 20 minutes until episode 80 is released with subs

Only thing I liked was the black spirit. I didn't give a shit about any of the characters in black desert except my bro the black spirit. He was funny sometimes. I also liked exploring the world in this game.

yes AI and pathing is shit but if you dont hear music everywhere you're literally deaf

>horrible voice acting
really nigga

FFXIV is probably the best one.

and I'd only call that "ok"

because the 30 dollar costumes are basically manditory to do a lot of things because they offer such crazy benefits

because the only truly appealing thing about the game is it's character creator

because the game has literally no interesting or appealing story / characters to make me care about the game and it's world

because doing the same 30 dailies to get .5 of a bar to buy a house in a city that really does nothing in the long run because all the endgame gear comes from other things that aren't crafting isn't fun

because the economy gets so overinflated from events that hand out millions of silver like candy and because items have a locked price that is far lower than the actual value of the items nobody sells anything on the market so there is no horizontal progression to be made by working on other things and selling extra stuff you get on the market

because hunting could have been a cool craft where you stalk a bunch of wildlife in a massive open world to get good meat for food which confers great combat buffs but you only use it to shoot whales

because it's shit

This is the most autistic video I've seen since the start of 2017.

>Entirely based around level and gear. Skill has no part in it unless you are about the same gear and level as the other player, and than it usually comes down to class.
So it's an actual mmorpg with a world to explore instead of trying to copy wow arena and attracting elitist dipshits like
>muh skill
>muh rating
>muh pvp

Gonna give it a try then.

Because I don't like the taste of cock...ehm meaningless grinds/pay to win shop with no real endgame.

>elitist dipshits

SPOT TAKEN

WoW is way better.
Bdo has no dungeons, real raids, real fast travel, good story, good devs, pet battles, cool world and flying mounts.

kys edgelord

I'm sorry but in spite of your desperate cry for attention I can't seem to be able to care for you. Play a shit game and cut your veins for all I care you live in a free country I'm sure.

Because I'm sick and tired of MMOs, they're fucking timesinks that don't let me clear my backlog.
24 hours in a day is not enough for this shit.

t. my first mmo was wow

>really nigga

youtube.com/watch?v=nW7bVcGlgfo

Yeah.

>if you dont hear music everywhere you're literally deaf
No I just ended up muting it because I could bear to hear the same repeated 3 notes over and over copy pasted on 4 zone types.

>VA
>opening sequence for an MMO

yeah try that INgame. I'll wait

>same repeated 3 notes over and over copy pasted on 4 zone types.

so you played for 30 minutes? Good to know

>not using kr/jp voices

It's a game that could be awesome but because its target audience is what it is it will stay garbage with garbage development priorities.

(case in point go look at the /vg/ thread)

>yeah try that INgame. I'll wait

Don't even get me started.

Nice try about the music tho. Won't bite into your retarded rethoric.

Why would I listen to a language I don't even understand.

oh but i am, user

>japanese imageboard
>can't speak japanese

hmm

>Don't even get me started.

you're just deflecting now because you have no clue what you're talking about

>Won't bite
you mean Can't. You very clearly never made it to level 50. Probably not even level 30

>Why aren't you playing BDO

Korean
B2p yet it still has p2w elements
The trial i played was boring as fuck, a good character creator does not make a good game

Don't get me started on the fact that the few in game voices you hear are obnoxious like that one shitty black spirit that kept pestering me until I muted the sound altogether because the quests he offers are garbage and a waste of time. Do you even hear voices in the cinematics? I can't recall because story was such trash once I reached level 50 I stopped caring about story quests altogether.

>You very clearly never made it to level 50

Hahaha oh wow. If I post a char above level 50 with over 150 contribution points will this be enough to make you kill yourself?

ffxiv is unironically the best, non sandbox mmo available right now

post it

I tried it but it's incredibly boring. I fapped to my character twice so I got my $10 worth.

>do the same dungeons till cap every week

trash like bdo.

The ones in development such as Camelot unchained, Crowfall and Chronicles of Elyria seem promising but right now you could try something like Uthgard.

Only if you promise you'll fuck off the thread right after and hopefully jump off your window.

im not him, i just want to see it

>that one shitty black spirit that kept pestering me
that one? as opposed to?? 1-50 you don't get another Black Spirit. You'd know that if you played the game

>Do you even hear voices in the cinematics? I can't recall
no of course you can't recall because then you'd have to prove yourself

>If I post a char above level 50 with over 150 contribution points will this be enough to make you kill yourself?

why you think posting someone else's character will prove something is beyond me

>chronicles of elyria
youtube.com/watch?v=ov-qzi6FUms
woah....is this...the power....of kickstarter

Because I'm not buying an expensive PC just to play shitty MMOs with slightly better graphics.

>The Secret World if you want 10/10 story, setting, and quests. 2/10 combat and skills though.
I'm just in the training dojo of the chaos faction and yes, the fighting systems attrocious.
I also can't get out of the fucking combat.

>that damage control

You can message me in game if you want. Are you up to the challenge you mongoloid?

I'm about to pull the trigger someone please tell me if this game is shit

nigga im on Balenos 2. Meet me in the pit outside of Heidel and we'll see who's doing damage control
