I miss when it felt like an online world.

Now is just feels like a bunch of robots with all their QoL features and how accessible they've made it to the average shitter.

I'm not denying that some of these features are nice, but in vanilla and BC, it felt like a real world for better or worse. Trying to become a seasoned max level hero took time and work, fighting monsters left you weak and beat up and you'd have to rest and eat to restore your strength. If you wanted to go take a fight to the enemy you had to recruit local players and venture to the pre-dungeon, fight your way through, and then go into the dungeon.

The early days of wow had a lot of really terrible shit packed in with them, but creating a genuine and authentic fantasy world wasn't one of them.

lol you could reach max level in less than a month of play in vanilla WoW assuming you were a hardcore MMO player (8+ hours a day)

the first Ragnaros kill was April 25, 2005, a mere 5 months after the game came out.

meanwhile in EQ, people took roughly a year just to reach max level, and that's not counting all the time after that to be raid ready (Nagafen and Vox do not count due to having a level 52 cap, those are introductory raids)

EQ took more skill and time investment, WoW was a casual shitshow from day one, and no WoW raid has ever been even remotely as difficult as prime EQ raids such as the ring of vulak event (takes the better part of a week to kill all the mobs to activate the event, the event itself is a 4 hour long boss gauntlet, one single death can wipe everyone and you have to wait a week to reset it from the time you initiated the event)

>>334848414
extremely long leveling times are important anon, it's what sets a MMORPG apart from a console RPG (unless you don't use a level-based system such as Ultima Online)

a MMO is about LONG-TERM character progression, not a game you can play for 30 minutes and make significant huge gains
>>
>>334848429

>EQ took more skill and time investment

Only one of these is true. Having to kill 5000 skeletons to level up instead of 50 isn't a 'skill'.
>>
>>334848065
The biggest problem is that no MMO can compete with the sheer backlog of content and things to do WoW has. Plus so many people have so much invested and have earned so much in wow that they don't want to give it up and start from square one. But if new MMOs shower you with things when you join the player doesn't care about them.

you clearly never raided in EQ where one death can literally cause a 2-4 hour delay where you have to summon your entire raid's corpses, revive everyone, meditate for mana multiple times while rezzing, rebuffing everyone, clearing all the trash mobs to get back to where you were, etc.

no, it doesn't take any skill at all, no sir. pic related uses a deathtouch ability every 30 seconds, it takes absolutely no skill to set up a revive rotation so your guild doesn't get whittled down.

>>334848429

>the event itself is a 4 hour long boss gauntlet

Was the event actually difficult beyond just being long? Sounds like more of an endurance test.

>>334848429

>>
>>334848824
very difficult, there are some bosses that silence the entire raid upon spawning, so now nobody can be healed. adds spawn that do things like automatically charm anyone they hit with no roll to hit or roll for charm resist, full dispel on hit removing all your buffs (if this happens to the tank it's generally a wipe), raid-wide unresistable DOTs that will do about 1/4 of the HP of squishier casters every 6 seconds, bosses that have massive knockback abilities that can send you flying into lava, AOE fears that can also have you walk off the ledge into lava, etc.

most people seem to think everquest was some really easy game that just required a lot of time investment, when in reality, you generally brought 60-90 people to a raid, and having even 1 of them die inappropriately (i.e a rogue takes aggro causing a boss to turn and cleave all the healers, and not an expected death like deathtouches every 30 seconds) causes a full wipe.
>>
>>334848756
The reason for the long level content is to create lower level dungeons that actually get playtime rather than making 5 per 10 levels and everyone flocking to the one that gives what most people want.

Also, grinding for that long in any area makes you play with the same people for a few days at a time which leads to guilds, friend lists, etc.

It really is integral. Instead we play games that find a group for us to run the same dungeon maybe twice and never say a word to anyone before they split.

If you're going to play a game that way just make it single-player with AI. The entire point of socialization is lost.

and that's exactly why WoW is bad: it's casual and requires no investment on the part of the player, there are instances that can be completed in less than 20 minutes that drop purples, which are supposed to be extremely rare, epic, coveted gear. not so great when you can do a fucking 20 minute instance and have a guy drop 6 purple items, and then you just reset the instance and do it again.

The reason for that playtime was the loot.

The difference in power for the weapons that dropped from these raids was right out absurd.

You could go from needing 6 people to take down mobs reliably to curbstomping 3 at a time and not blink.

Now instead of that we get tiered gear just to move on to the next carrot.

There's a good reason why people spent four hours of their time doing it. The loot was insane for the game it was in.

Not a four hour bossfight, a four hour gauntlet.
Raid boss fights went from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the strength of those playing.

EQ had the AA system, so even after you maxed your level you earned points to improve further past that.

You could have fresh level capped with decent gear join and they'd do OK, or you could have an old toon with 500+ AA and curbstomp content easily.

Recruiting was a chore but worth it in that game. Not just to fill spots but to find real talent.

the game pretty much forced you to socialize and be part of the server community, because without knowing people you would never progress past normal 5mans.

Breaks of course. Gotta have time to meditate and what not. One of the few things they patched later to go faster and not have to stare at a book while you did it.

It's not as bad as what it sounds like, otherwise we wouldn't have played it for so long.

I wasn't baiting, wildstar's raids are great. People have to know what they're doing, know the fights, and know how to play their class at least competently. It's pretty fun.
>>
>>334850131
there are tiny "breaks" that might give you enough mana to survive the next fight, mana management is a key factor as well, it's not like WoW where you can drink something and fill up intsantly, it takes 5-10 minutes of sitting down meditating to fill up from empty, and a break between fights might be 5 minutes at the absolute most if you are lucky.

there are ways around it, like necromancers can transfer their mana to other people (usually healers) in exchange for doing less dps, since keeping the tanks alive is much more important than a few necromancer DOTs and taps.

Played it to level 30. Didn't like the branching dungeon design as much as I thought I would. Story is uninteresting and the classes felt dull.
It seemed like a ton of work was put into it but they just didn't get that certain something MMO's need to hold attention. Can't put my finger on it entirely but just didn't like the formula they used.

Other than females having ridiculously long necks, and the camara being zoomed out fucking way too far out, I think the artstyle and mood/humour is p.gud.

My biggest gripe with it (and other current games) is how rigid character customization is (I'm talking ingame, as in build diversity. Playing your character).

Then again. Path of Exile (and MtG) spoiled me fucking hard in that aspect.
>>
>>334850541

Oh okay, fair enough then. That doesn't sound like a nightmare.

>>334850613

Well here we go now I'm actually getting an idea about skill involved. Mana management is great - in early D&DOnline it was important because you couldn't chug down mana potions all the time.

You kind of get that in ffxiv raids but nowhere near the level of careful decisions to be made over what to use.

DESU it felt like a true to form D&D game put down in a videogame that was unrelated to the IP.

It's a case of a game however where it really needed the first few expansions before it got really good. Kunark helped the game a lot with content and Vellios even more so.

It did run into the same issue that WoW had I'd say after the Planes expansion of too much shit without enough info on what to do.

New people would get lost easily.

Yeah, all the furry mlp/tumblr shit is pretty terrible, that I can't deny. Then again, I only played (on dominion) once it went F2P and was a ghost town, so I didn't get to see many of those characters.

The game could've been really good though. I still think the mood/tone/humor of the game, as well as its aesthetics (art style/graphics quality) were pretty good though.

The realm community, before LFD and LFG made it so you never met ANYONE from your server leveling through dungeons you didn't get to make any friends or acquaintances on your realm whom you would have a lasting friendship with.
