so they really cant any more servers , what a joke has this industry become Surprised ,after world of warcraft lagging more then it did at launch in 2004, now amazon of all companies cant scale their shit (or doesnt want to) and claims they cant add anymore servers

it all makes zero sense besides cost saving greed .... except gamers swallow it all and take it up their gaping buttholes

Made it 3 days, level 43 - wanted to give it a fair shake.

Not even World of Warcraft had such brain dead fucking combat - and that's a LOW bar to beat MMO wise - you could literally train a monkey to play this shit. As usual, the modern generation of "gamers" eat it up. Holy shit, what have we become?

The real game starts at level 50, though Wink And it gets considerably harder past that point, we are still within the tutorial designed to familiarize you with the game's concepts, basically.
The endgame content doesn't strike me as easy, nor accessible to monkeys, at all Very Happy Bosses are unforgiving and need tons of prep work.

I doubt this'll really hook me in as the PvP is very lacklustre (no open PvP, no PK, no Castle Sieges and so on), but it's a nice timewaster.

If it would have mechanics of Path Of Exile, game would be fucking impossible in end game, its far from easy, suits well for the game and feels good.

It's best to stay away. Koreans suck and suffer from some serious inferiority complexes. The story shits on your character and refuses it to be a good fighter. Everyone else takes the big baddies and you're relegated to trash and picking fucking daisies.

Game is good strictly gameplay wise (except for it's too many gearing systems), but the plot is a tosser and a half

The gear system sucks, it's why I stopped playing it. I could overlook the crappy UI and all the other Asian tropes, but the gear progression is downright annoying.

Yeah your inventory gets bogged down with a million items you don't know how to deal with as chests etc gives you options of what to pick, but you don't know what to pick yet, so the chests stay. And the gems...

Started playing this one week ago, and I'm totally hooked, the starting area was for me the biggest boss, it looked so generic korean MMO and it took me months get enough courage and go beyond, but after that the game is amazing, im glad I gave it another change, feels very polished and big budget, also the content seems to be so good.

Also god damn the story feels like its directed by Michael Bay, epic moments filled with action, Phantom Palace dungeon was amazing, absolutely my favorite of all MMO games, can't wait to see end game, currently almost 1100ilvl.

Feels like world of warcraft all over again, game is like drug for me, not sure if its good for my social life. Very Happy

Now with Diablo 4 gaining more attention, I've been looking at steamdb charts for this game, and the descending trend is still going... 'strong'.

Less and less people playing it.

Those games drain any joy you may have playing them reaching endgame thanks to the dailies and other shit requiring you to log and grind the same shit daily.
Hopefully D4 doesn't follow suit even though it seems like they took a good chunk of inspiration from this when it comes to the MMO-ey aspects.

Their numbers were also insanely inflated with bot accounts which while still present, are much, much less prevalent than they were before, huge ban waves.

Diablo 3 was good fun, up until the grind (Paragon system + gearing up).

I guess it's fair to say that it's worth buying* even if you only play once or twice through the 'story'.

*but not 70 Euro! Laughing

I enjoyed D3, but didnt do the paragon/whatever the end game stuff was.
I am not big on 'endgame' in games or MMOs.
Nothing bugged me more in say WoW than seeing new players login, level 1, and asking "What is endgame like?"
To me its the same as rushing to the age of 80 years old to go "I made it to the end, now what does this game called life have for me?" Nothing..you missed the whole experience of the game, to rush to the end. The first 80 years WAS the content.

To me endgame in an MMO should not be finite, dev generated content to consume
But its probably the old school MMO player in me that gives me that mindset: Endgame is what you make it, not what they give you to churn thru.
Like Neocron or Anarchy Online. I played for years after I capped doing things. (Neocron building rep as a good constructor and researcher for weapons with the player base, AO finding combos of meta buffs and boost stims to cast to help people for tips). Endgame is when YOU run out of things you create to do, and run out of fun ideas to enjoy. And not simply when you get to loop doing the same linear content over and over.

Exactly this!

The whole, full experience was the leveling, exploring, discovering.

But all these little shits running around everywhere, that ruined the community (and game) were always in a rush to max level. Quick, quicker, everything quickest! We're in a hurry to increase our egos and e-peens with gear and epix!

You know what happens in 'life' at max level? Well... you die. Laughing

They should just start servers with full gear unlocked and max abilities available. Let people pay for that and be done with it. Zero progression possibilities since it’s all done already. Bam. Problem solved and new revenue stream.

I tried Lost Ark, got about 30 hours in before i couldn't handle the never-ending tutorial. I don't enjoy MMO's in general, its more like working a mundane job / chore list than actually playing a game.

I do and don't understand why no-one has ever tried doing something slightly different in an MMO game. They don't because money, but why are all of them exactly the same. cut wood > pine, cyprus, ash, oak, ebony.. mine ore copper > iron > titanium etc. etc.

Modern gamer is derp, the vast majority google the most OP instant win build in anything that requires brain. In any game, most OP weapon, Most OP class, most OP skill etc. The POE community and chat in game will tell you your playing the game wrong if your not following an OP build guide.

POE endgame has broken balance as well because the dev's know their players. The content is specifically balanced for "googled broken MeTA full-time job streamer build". Then think most derps still can't beat end-game even with a guide from someone with 10000 hours because there is still an element of skill.

Love POE, never read guides, hate trading (which is item import mode), i just play the game, never beat uber-endgame bosses, but it's a lot of fun see'ing how far i can get a build before it's deleted.

People did try/do a lot of doing things different in MMOs
But WoW came and set the standard for "Everyone can enjoy it: You, your kids (or parents), grandma, and even the guy that barely plays games" and was wildly successful because of the ease of and inability to make a bad character, simplicity of it and stripped down stats and choices so it was 'pick one of three things on level up, your done'.
So the trend started to copy that winning formula. Sure you cannot make a random choice raid top tier character in WoW, but we tried to make a bad unplayable character. its impossible to make a bad character. me and friends tested it long ago with a few random classes: Pick random class, pick random stuff on level up, use whatever gear you find/cheapest on auction house: Still completely playable to level up with.

Asheron's call, Anarchy Online, Neocron, Vanguard, SWG (pre NGE) and many others was wildly different than todays MMO environment. But complex, deep, and intricate character setups with nuanced customization and gameplay that is more than one road story driven railroad 'lets point you to the next leveling quest' hand holding isn't what sells anymore. Sad
