I want an MMO with open world and non-hotkey combat.
Does such thing exist?

Gothic

The first one so you can bitch about the controls

Every video game boils down to hotkey combat.

Unless you're playing Kinect games.

That's a single player game.

>>320616319
Oh you know perfectly fine what am I talking about. A real time hitbox-based combat where movement and actual animations decide whether attack hits or not, instead of some stat-based rng rolling.
I'm not saying that one is better than the other, I just have my fill with stat-based combat already.

>>320616408
Isn't FFXIV just XI with better graphics? I didn't play XI, so it's just an assumption.
>>
>>320616580

A whole lot better than spamming buttons like modern "MMOs".
>>
>>320616813
XI and XIV are nothing alike
>>
>>320616843
It's literally the same thing except you're clicking buttons slower.
>>
>>320616164
What the hell is nonhotkey combat? Literally all games need a butto to use abilities.
>>
>>320616813

No, XI and XIV might as well be two totally different genres. XI was more about thinking, teamwork, timing, and positioning with a large importance placed on auto attacks while XIV is basically a WoW clone.

You won't really find action styled MMOs because it just doesn't work with the genre, you can't really have an always online game built for people to play for extended periods of time that require that amount of key pressing, speed, or precision. It's really far too involved for a game that soaks up that much time, the servers would probably throw a fit too.

that's impossible in a large scale MMO environment due to netcode and server stress reasons. what you're looking for is an online game, not a MMO.

Tera

Elder scrolls online

>>320616164
Tera and DCUO probably have the best action-y mmorpg combat.

But both are terrible at other things.
>>
>>320617062
Tera
>>
black desert will be out soon, if you can afford a $30 game
>>
>>320617062
XI was more about getting into linkshell cliques to get into farm groups so you can level and do NMs while mashing macros to get static skill chains.
>>
Old School RuneScape
>>
Well I played both Tera and DCUO and like those, but I hoped that there is something even more action-oriented.

>>320617062
>>320617104
I guess that's the answer then.

>what you're looking for is an online game, not a MMO
But games like Warframe or Battlefield don't really sit well with me.

>>320617591
I played russian version. It's basically Tera with prettier graphics.
