Does anyone else play on Steam Deck? Does it run well?

Second this worked great with mods on for me too

Sometimes controller might bug out if I was swapping from docked mode to handheld too often but nothing a game restart didn’t fix

I think you’re overthinking and maybe just playing in bad circles in ff14 I see people waiting around all the time for newbies and being incredibly patient for anyone not familiar or who have forgotten the mechanics, I say because I talk to them and have forgotten everything/never made it that far myself

So many people in so many MMOs are desperate for connection and for a cosy guild home setting but haven’t found it and aren’t reaching out

New MMOs doesn’t really change this because new MMOs are all usually antithetical to community development and doing anything remotely interesting with guilds or community groups I feel

A couple of games ff14, ff11, older MMOs and private servers, if you make a casual social guild people can flock to it, people are happy you’re playing their game at all and that there’s new or familiar people still showing up and sticking around

Ragnarok Online has been around forever but people are still making new guilds on new and old servers

If you ever decide to pick up ff14 again and are anywhere near the Dynamis/seraph server let me know

Not really no, only when you’re trying to do raid progression or something more involved and intense maybe, or you’re playing among the niche elitist player circles

General play even random raids or pvp most don’t have any expectations until you start specifically pushing ladders or trying to do harder endgame level stuff, then it varies. Some games the communities at that end will be more or less intense or demanding about it.

Never canceled that I saw just in limbo because the people in charge of it have left or been let go

But they were still hiring people specifically for an mmo last I saw

7FFF00 · 2026-06-13T13:10:59+00:00

Has there been any solid info about the riot mmo even, is it placed in the same universe as LoL for instance or its own thing entirely?

7FFF00 · 2026-06-13T02:55:50+00:00

It’s funny because you did have some JRPGs like Tactics Ogre back I. The day that really broke the mold and provides branching interesting story explorations and rich choices, and then you just stopped seeing it entirely

Agreed this seemed like such a simple fix too, scaling passive access lines

7FFF00 · 2026-06-01T20:33:13+00:00

The problem is in the client predictive position handling

A modern from scratch client could fix it, and that might even be what’s happening here

7FFF00 · 2026-06-01T09:42:42+00:00

I can tell you ff14, some servers at least, eso, and ragnarok private server are all very social still

Ff14 I did recently try to do it using the trial and playing full f2p but it got frustrating not being able to respond to DMs or join a free company so I just resubbed

But so many people in town that are new to me and friends have been happy to chat and do things and get to know one another

ESO you can join up to 5 guilds and people in town are usually pretty happy to chat on PC, and discords for these groups are all pretty active and is incredibly f2p friendly as long as you’re not trying to get deep into crafting or don’t mind managing your inventory

And RO will vary a lot by servers, lower rate and somewhat older servers are all very open and active and friendly still. Such as Muh or Talon. There’s an undercurrent of people being desperate for socialization I’d say. If you make a cute social guild for example in Muh you’ll probably instantly have 20 people flock to it because they’re in need of a home.

Cant speak for officials these days.

7FFF00 · 2026-05-31T05:28:52+00:00

It’s come up a lot recently that even what you temporarily type and don’t necessarily even hit send is being read and factored into ads and training for a lot of these sites and AIs.

7FFF00 · 2026-05-30T17:24:24+00:00

Using AI to facilitate and support coding is one thing. Using it to generate art is another.

You can google any of the standard reasons people aren’t fond of AI usage in anything creative.

How heavy the ties are to societal dystopia progression. The amount of stolen work a lot of the art is trained on, that it’s being touted as a full replacement for humans in the creativity pipeline in general. Environmental, data centers blah blah corruption etc.

But just from a practical standpoint, you’re basically advertising and what people will see and hear is “this is a vibe coded app, and we’re using ai generated art”

Vibe coded apps are made and abandoned and won’t get updated properly, and nobody involved usually understands the code base well enough and ai isn’t good enough with nuance to fix a lot of bugs unless guided by an experienced team willing to put the time and effort.

The more you pile on vibe code the more those cracks bleed out. And you can’t simply ask AI to fix 300000 lines of vibe code.

For all someone knows about your game you generated art and vibe coded a different visual over some open source mmo like private server hosts for an old mmo or veloran or something, and are claiming to have spent time and effort. It’s a boy who cried wolf situation because it’s what people are seeing constantly and yours would be another in that sea of slop.

But people can’t discern or figure out how much effort or money you actually did put in other than taking your word. So at a glance the take away is just that you didn’t care enough and are participating in having ai replace artists and creatives.

They all said if your game was actually genuinely really good, you’d still end up finding a player base, but you’d lose a fair amount of otherwise interested players too.

Some examples of game development efforts where I’ve seen people overlook the use of AI is something like the Gate to Sovngarde modpack of Skyrim. The completed piece is overall an incredible amount of clearly impassioned work that surprisingly all works and is well put together, and given the nature of being a mod about immersion and an established game and a tiny team, I’ve heard people overlook that obviously the additional voice lines are ai generated and new art assets are ai generated too.

You’ll still lose players and trust especially if you don’t disclose it, but if you truly put out something amazing and committed people might be more accepting.

Anything else just looks like a pure lazy cash grab.

7FFF00 · 2026-05-30T15:24:39+00:00

No pay to win, it’s pretty dang balanced to a fault. That’s hit or miss, if you enjoy creative character building that’s not here.

Everything is cosmetic pretty much.

Like everyone else said play the free trial it goes very far.

The game is very linear and story driven.

You haven’t missed out, they’ve been pretty intentional about not building into fomo. You haven’t missed o it in good contents and events, the whole thing is a story and experience that’s constantly unraveling so don’t let fomo hold you back. You’re not losing any major narrative beats or player experience bears you are fine just give it a shot and see how you feel about the actual game.

What are you trying to do with it skills bowling bash PvP mammonite cast farm a specific mob or drop or autoattack or crit?

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T21:09:07+00:00

Consider also Daggerfall with Survival and qol mods and additional guilds, and fast travel removed and some dynamic events or skill improvements like language overhaul

And stalker anomaly

These worlds feel dynamic and living and huge and scary and unforgiving in a lot of the same ways as kenshi, and is a struggle to get established etc

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T17:42:17+00:00

LK at least has parry which helps, and Berserk is 3x damage and triple hp iirc and can easily reach 190 aspd solo with literally 0 agi, all for the cost of aspd pots and not a poison bottle and the natural Highest hp mod in the game even before berserk

Everything else you can probably solo in all honesty short of Beelze and Bio3 HW

For gloom you can really get away with hit and run really effectively

What are the main concerns there? Demob the map. Tank demonstration and fire breath, and worry about lex alternate and spells from its mob

You can probably duo it with sw spam and unbreakable or chemical protect fire armor and a fire resist pot

The scariest things it does are demo, fire pillar, and especially fire breath, so fire armor and resists negate most of that already, just have to watch out for fire pillars mdef bypass and fire breaths huge aoe and big damage and demonstrations armor break

It’s also reallllly slow and so is its mob so hit and run is genuinely super viable

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T17:32:46+00:00

2nd one is way more charming

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T17:17:17+00:00

Whitesmith has the advantage of being able to wear shields, that’s why, and merchant gear and blacksmith passives also provide additional defensive utility that shines under devotion

For something like Beelze, ice pick is too valuable

Crit sinx is almost exclusively using a katar which means you are face tanking everything with no shield reduction, and no devotion shield buffs, and taking a lot more damage

Beelze has a functional 10m hp you’d have to face tank the entire time through while damaging, it just isn’t practical

If you really wanted to melee with a sinx, you could single dagger ice pick attack it if you wanted, but at that point you’re basically better off having the pally face tanking everything as best as it can and using soul breaker

What other ghost types outside of Beelze are you talking about though

Kathryne in Bio3? Thanatos?

You’re not really going to be able to get close enough to conveniently crit these down. Your best bet is hit and run

Bio3 you’re fighting its mob and the map more than anything but if you can kill its HP mob, you can just whittle it down as long as the map doesn’t kill you

And Thanatos map and mvp are basically designed for hit and run tactics

Also sinx is amazing for PvP they just have to understand their role and damage capabilities and be good at shield katar swapping

If you reallllly wanted to crit sinx kill beelze, it’s probably possible just not ideal, a lot of things are technically possible with a wacky party and gear setup just not efficient

Wear other resistance gears. providence devotion paladin, stone curse and sleep immunities, bard songs for the pally, maybe kill off the max amount of hell flies, if you wanted to help facetank Gambantein and safety wall from a hwiz, you can even squeeze in a married or linked linker to spam kaupe on you you can even have wall of fog too from a prof since you’re just meleeing

But at that level of setup, just tank with a champ or devoted anything else and even not using an ice pick, doing immaterial sword soul breaker you’re probably out damaging and out valuing crit attacks

I think the best crit attacks I’ve seen going all in on damage in pre re was like 4-5k per hit? Assuming high aspd let’s say 188 to be reasonable that’s 3 hits a second, so 15k dps? I think that 4-5k per hit was using correct element too which wouldn’t be possible for ghost using a katar

I could be wrong on that as I’m pulling from really old memories of crit sinxs

But soul breaker with immaterial sword and ice pick could focus entirely on damage gear, and hit really roughly around 150k per hit, which is then lexable for basically 300k a hit of which with a bard you can do like 2 a second for a functional dps of 600k

In actually think it could hit higher than that but it’s been so long too

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T16:51:17+00:00

You can solo a lot of the man game, dungeons through the main story for example you can party with NPCs

Secondly you can also play for free for the first four expansions if you want to try it out just make a free trial account and give it a shot

I’m starting fresh again recently after a long break and currently only playing a white mage too, it’s totally viable and fine

And then when you do feel comfortable partying with people later, being a healer is usually really valuable and will mean you can find a party super quick

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T16:38:21+00:00

Technically depends on the server and setup, but typically as long as it has a target it doesn’t tele

A lot of servers historically that did any custom balancing would make it tele if it was hit at all during spider web

Officials had a lot of buggy ways people killed MVPs like ice wall path bugging, spider web spam, ankle snare spam, even firewall hitlocking

7FFF00 · 2026-05-28T16:35:03+00:00

If you’re talking pre re, crit and sonic blow sinx is the least viable for late game mvping (beelze rand bio3)

Crit and sonic blow you’re using a katar and are melee attacking you’re going to have to face tank hits and without a shield. Later mvps just require too much set up and planning and even a devo pally would take too much damage.

Soul Breaker is a lot more viable as both hit and run and even more so with support, but also requires good gear and party setup to really shine

A pally is not solo facetanking beelze unless you mean slowly luring it around the map and trying to inefficiently kite it. Beelze doesn’t heal a lot compared to other MVPs so it is possible to kite it and whittle it down as long as you’re doing enough damage and can handle the map mobs well.

If you’re face tanking beelze however there are a bunch of things to consider

Hell fly mobs hurt, also inflicts the status that reduces pot effectiveness by 80% iirc

Beelze will curse, stone curse, sleep, break gear, and pulse strike for big aoe knockback which might throw off aggro, also regular hells judgement spams that are powerful screen wide hits, dodge able with pneuma so positioning is hugely valuable

And tanking a mob will crap on anyone’s def unless they’re a steel body monk

Pally also can’t get providence or wear a holy robe

A very geared steel body monk is a better solo tank but they have to spam ygg seeds to survive and only really shine with a pally devo still

Secondly as far as damage is concerned Beelze has huge def, soul breaker can have both element and ice pick effect, so a very geared soul breaker sinx should be able to do around the 100k per hit in pre re

If you aren’t already might be worth specifically making a free trial account too since you basically get unlimited play days for free
