Yup! Same with Vanguard. These companies don't realise that spending the extra time+money to release a complete game would've netted them far greater profits in the long run!

But shareholders don't understanding gamers enough to realize that. So many MMOs failed for the exact same reason, though, that you'd think someone would've caught the pattern there.....

AO has instanced zones. I wasn't suggest instances, I was saying the Barbarian should because he holds no cards worth anything.. what else is he going to do.

And hard pass on instance mmorpgs. The lengths people go to and the mess of a game they make because they can't handle not getting a pixel. Reminds me of the twerpy kid on social media talking about "If I play a game then I deserve to get anything in it and see all of the content. I paid for it"

So far removed from anything interesting. Get your ticket for the pleasure cruise, dab the sunscreen on your nose and kick back.

I don't make games though I play em [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I want an AO sequel more than an EQ sequel tbh ;D It was sort of the inbetween world of theme park and sandbox, and quests were still item based like EQ and not the weird question mark crap I hate
TBH the only MMO I've enjoyed as much as EQ was Vanguard.

If they'd had another year of development before being forced to release VG would've been a damned near perfect MMO.

I beta tested AO. It was a pretty awesome start to Funcom's string of failures.

(I really would love to see at least a spiritual sequel to AO.)

The Star Wars MMO was gorgeous, with fantastic stories, but was a bit too on-rails. Hutball was fantastic. No endgame content available by the time everyone max-leveled though.

Neverwinter was a swing and miss, despite player-built content. That D&D ruleset they used was overly-simplistic and shallow.

Secret World was such a cool concept with urban legends and cyber-punkish themes. But...Funcom again.

AO was/is so goog. 2019 best summer ever with their rk19, although it was so poorly run and mismanaged with the weirdest unclassic changes, like questable best-in-slot armor that overturned the whole classic itemization. made p99 look like a dang ol gift from gosh

not gonna lie, i'd do it all over again in AO for rk20, but FC just sold big to Tencent. no idea what's going to happen to AO

I'm considered an essential worker and I just got a guise. If you have two days off in a row and your level 35 you can get an item but maybe not a manastone. As soon as you finish your shift log into the legacy item camp and get to camping. You'll still have plenty of time to sleep for 11 or 12 hours to sort of get back to normal before work starts again.

So remove the list, camp the mob.

Make more complaint threads about overpopulation. No wonder the original devs put instances in.

"I want to camp the mob and get the item but other people are doing it. I need a place just for me so I can get it"

Skyrim.
Again, it's like you just want to argue with me rather than think.

How is "the people who don't sleep are the only ones who can ever get the best stuff" a better system than "everyone who plays the game has an equal chance (people who play more get better chances)?"

That's all I want to know.

The same exact thing I've been talking about for the past several pages? /list 1.0 vs. a better version? I know you've been racing to yell angrily at me and not fully reading my posts, but ... c'mon.
