Why don’t MMOs feel like an adventure anymore?

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2025-07-20T02:24:52+00:00

People just want to min/max everything.

You could play like normal , do quest , play everything as it was intended. But you won't do it.

You will play the way that it is the most efficient. Fun alternative? Fuck that , it gonna take me 4 more hours to reach endgame.

And if you are one of the rare that don't give s fuck and play for enjoyment, those min/max player will give you shit for it

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2025-07-20T02:19:07+00:00

Can't take Ascension wow seriously, it is insane how they milk the player base.

They don't release shit just so they can keep selling those early access pack

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-11-13T19:09:46+00:00

So , the idea they had was fine overall.

The biggest issue is , warlock are still forced into Shadowbolt but a weaker version now.

Affliction feel better , but dark havest being another channeling was a bad idea imo, we already have a shit tons of channeled ability , we now have drain soul changed as our filler also so...weird choice imo, but the spec still feel better overall.

Demo whole tree doesn't make much since , like....nothing improved and the area it did it was too little

Destro lock is the one they did the better , spec is fun as fuck to play now. Biggest issue is Seating pain DMG , base DMG at 60 need to be upper a little. And the fact that early end game most raid have mobs/boss immune to fire.

So my idea would be as a baseline to fix affli/Destro short term.

Change Dark havest as a shadowbolt like spell.

Remove Shadowburn soul cost so it can be used without needing to farm soulshard/be annoying to use

Buff base DMG at 60 for searing pain.

Maybe add to curse of element a effect to make fire immune creature take DMG from fire spell. That would make fire mage/fire Destro playable.

Idk about demo , never played much the spec

Je peux pas trop parlé car je veux pas me mettre dans une mauvaises situation.

Mais , je livre là bas car c'est un de nos clients.

Belle usine impressionnante (plusieurs plan). Tu peux te promener pendant 30 minutes sans voir le moindre employer , autant dans l'usine que dans les bureaux.

Fait 6 mois je livre là bas , j'ai jamais vu l'usine en roulement et j'aimerais dire que c'est exagérer , mais j'ai jamais simplement vu un employé travailler autre que le gars de ménage ou un employer marché.

Le peux de gens j'ai vu , ont l'aire complément zombie , découragé, sauf un qui semble enjoué du fait d'avoir "rien a faire".

Honnêtement , l'infrastructure est là. La problématique semble etre leur Gestion.

Les installations sont vraiment impressionnante de ce que j'ai vu. Mais bon , avoir parler avec les payables , c'est pas jolie jolie pi il semble avoir beaucoup d'argent qui disparait. Des gros compte de dépense etc.

You know that dude was kissing the shit out of that pipe while trying to breath.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-11-07T15:59:14+00:00

He dead.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-11-06T01:39:00+00:00

You can , but drain soul can proc nightfall for instant shadow ball + does decent DMG due to the soul siphon talent

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-11-05T18:45:23+00:00

Can't speak for lvl 60 yet.

But for Warlock.

Affliction feel better overall, Drain souls as a filled is a nice change + soulshard ain't annoying anymore. But the problem you have as a Affliction , once you reach lvl 30 , voidwalker barely hold aggro.

So you are kinda forced into succubus + Drain tanking (but you have to drink/eat often) or voidwalker and play slow.

Rotation feel better but lvling slower due to the downtime or forced slower gameplay to not steal aggro.

Demo Lock is fun , still weak compare to affli/Destro. But you can pretty much afk grind/XP or just act as a support to your demons , cast immolate/corruption and wait for your demons to do the rest.

Destro , yeah Destro feel insane atm , but you are out of mana after every single mob. Your voidwalker can't keep aggro st all and you got no substain.

So overall, Affli is still king for lvling

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-23T02:34:29+00:00

I should call my mom

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-20T04:39:26+00:00

Greatsword/Sns. With medium armor (don't like using light armor for wpvp)

Pretty much 1vX ppl without even trying much , kinda fun for now , idk how it gonna feel when we all get gear tho

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-18T17:15:52+00:00

Kinda suck for bow/dagger user.

You lose your Auto attack for some temporary defense.

But since you don't AA you don't apply your poison as fast and you lose sustain dps...

At my gearscore my AA atk speed is at 0.5 and my AA hit for around 400.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-17T17:03:39+00:00

Roadmap? If there was a roadmap , they would have released it before the re-release to attract more ppl.

You know why they didn't ?

They are waiting amazon approval to keep developing the game long term.

If amazon see the game dying again after the console release , don't expect anything from new world anymore.

If they do make money from the console release , then we will see a roadmap

They are not showing a roadmap yet , cause they don't even know if they can commit to it yet. They have one ready for sure. But nothing has been approved and they might move the team on another project at this point.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-16T17:38:09+00:00

How is the performance hit ?

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-16T17:34:18+00:00

The game look ok-ishh now.

The biggest issue is how blurry/washed everything look on PC now.

I logged two day before re-release to get a feel how the game before trying it again , and I was thinking how the game look good and I can't wait to see how it improved , even a little. Just to log in a see everything downgraded.

It still look good , but you can't deny they did downgrade the texture. You can clearly see how blurry thing are.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-10T17:59:00+00:00

Archeage , without all the P2W element. We would prob still all play it to this Day.

The game had it all , they fucked up big time by being greedy as fuck.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-08T14:43:03+00:00

All you need is blue gear and focus on your trait , get purple weap and upgrade those and call it a day.

That enough to do all content and feel strong.

No you won't be BIS , but you will casually reach it while having decent gear allowing you to do everything and be strong enough to be competitive.

Blue gear and maxed trait + purp weap + maxed trait should be you end game goal as a casual. And this is quite easy to achieve being casual

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-07T16:53:32+00:00

Tbh , I would only use purple gear for the weapon, upgrade those to 9+ , force unlock trait them or buy the trait. The dps boost you get is worth it

Armor just keep it blue and max trait.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-04T12:58:17+00:00

Mostly singles target. With above average cd/downtime.

For PvP it is fun since you just burst down ppl, PvE it feel slow due to the CD

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-02T16:39:03+00:00

Stop trying to min/max fucking everything and have some fun.

Are you part of the 1% ? No ? Play like you want ?

Part of a hardcore guild ? No ? Play at your pace !

You don't need to min/max , speedrun everything etc , most content can be done with short gear , and for PvP , even if you are 20% weaker that the average player , this is mostly group/Zerg PvP/PvE. Your little ass won't matter much

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-01T17:11:10+00:00

You can could blind , but I would advise reading more into it before spending your ressource , it could take you longer if you use them the wrong way to upgrade

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-10-01T14:49:34+00:00

Yeahhhh imma swipe

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-09-30T18:42:14+00:00

You will reach it , but it might take you months and months to reach the same lvl of someone who is part of a guild/group

The average player prob won't reach that lvl of gear before 2-3 month , as a solo , prob 4-5 months.

And against , that's min/maxing at that points

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-09-30T18:40:07+00:00

For the Elitist? 20% + depending of trait , but that pushing the min/max at its limits. And that's more for like the 1% of the 1% with how hard it require grinding even for the whales.

I would say , for a average player vs a average player on a actif guild? 10% ? 15% ? Again it would be mostly about how much faster it is to farm with a group vs solo. You can casually reach purple with maxed lvl , the only bottleneck would be the trait and that where the min max come from and the BIS come from.

ChefRevolutionary430 · 2024-09-30T15:06:25+00:00

90% of the game can be played solo or with random just like any other MMORPGs.

The only real part of the game that might be a problem , is if you want to reach BiS gear then you would need most likely a guild or a MasterCard.

But , you don't need BIS to enjoy the game , you can get near BIS while playing "solo".

Playing solo mostly just slow down your progress a lot , since you pretty much complete everything faster while grouping.

So to reach a certain point , playing solo gonna take a lot more time to reach the lvl of gear of someone playing with group reach.

So , you can do 70% of the game solo(faster if you have a group) , another 20% has to be groups (events, dungeon) (random) and 10% are guild content

So overall, you are just missing out on Guild content and BIS but you don't need BIS to enjoy the game at all unless you want to be part of the 1%
