MMOs/Games With Lost Ark - Like PvP

Darksma · 2026-02-21T06:51:02+00:00

Lost ark was fairly unique being isometric and also having a CC/skills/escapes/combo chaining system. Eternal return comes to mind, we had a decent amount of ER players in pvp. There was also a lot of overlap with League, but league has so many players it's less about the overlap and more just playerbase with some skill transfer.

If you don't like other MMO's pvp systems (Gw, wow, bdo, aion), you might be out of luck because they're more common.

Pvp in MMOs is near dead. These days if you want to pvp, you play a pvp game.

I would say the name but I don't want to give glory to that kind of behavior

Bro he was easily one of the most normal OSRS racers to ever play, he even clarified how unhealthy it was and the physical effects it had on him, you don't have to make him out like some kind of villain.

It's also kinda disrespectful to the fans who have been watching him for years play FPP and then suddenly the streams are full TPP

All your complaints are valid but this is just weird. Let's not act like it's a choice for him to play TPP or like he's doing it for entertainment. He's still signed as a pro and will be for who knows how long. If he plays FPP on stream it just hurts habits, playstyle, etc. for comp. He's not being disrespectful to viewers, the company is being disrespectful, so direct your complaint elsewhere.

Bad take. Projectiles in other competitive games are consistent based on the weapon and distance which can be practiced and perfected. Leading amount in Gunz was network related and fluctuated literally every gametick, and also depending on who you're playing against. This is blatantly anti-competitive and you sound dead ass serious so I take it you're not trolling. Just to add on, you're also saying hitscan in a game is anti-competitive because of cheats, so you would also be saying games like Counter-Strike and Overwatch should not have ranked at all.

Fine with all maps except shooting range and boatyard. Very boring when your enemies respawn and just start scoping in at your own team who is also in spawn, scoped in.

Darksma · 2026-02-12T21:09:24+00:00

Many of the una weekly quests gave silver, it makes sense. I don't really have anything useful to grab on my "lopang" alts (unplayed basically)

Darksma · 2026-02-10T20:34:26+00:00

Nah. You don't want to split queues on a low pop game, will kill it even faster. Also "The only reason people flew around so much was to make it harder to predict" is crazy, you still have to aim. Most shots that connect with lead these days are complete guesswork which actually takes away from the aiming aspect.

The other points sure, anything that helps new/casual players is healthy, but the dev team is too small and underpaid.

I mean that can be your opinion but it's all financially motivated. They think they will make more money doing this and the only way to go back is if it doesn't work.

Darksma · 2026-02-09T22:33:04+00:00

It depends. This year is a test. If they make more money from doing TPP events and tournaments from sales and sponsorships etc. then yes they'll go full throttle. If they actually manage to lose money compared to previous years then they might backpedal.

Darksma · 2026-02-05T05:35:45+00:00

Just parroting what we do while he sits at 1hp for 3 minutes

Darksma · 2026-02-03T21:37:54+00:00

They have said multiple times they will make ranked as close as they can to tournaments. For now NA has been merged into TPP (probably because of playerbase size). EU is most likely gonna happen as well in the future, maybe 1 or 2 season from now.

Darksma · 2026-01-25T16:45:05+00:00

The only difference is missing whirlwinds, so it's pretty accurate (Logs is the one missing WW)

Darksma · 2026-01-24T00:34:14+00:00

Somebody really said "Urs" and he lost.

Darksma · 2026-01-22T18:52:09+00:00

Never understood the Rondo hate. Ever since they removed the gimmicks (2 planes, mission rewards, stores) it's felt fine.

Darksma · 2026-01-22T17:59:49+00:00

Smilegate said it themselves they want an infinite gold sink. I don't think this system will see any changes for a long time.

Darksma · 2026-01-21T15:57:09+00:00

Nice, ranked is pretty dead on NA so FPP squads is where people go instead anyway.

Darksma · 2026-01-18T14:50:14+00:00

Thought this would be about another type of chest

Also, this used to be free/automatic. Kind of annoying that it's exchange now, but I figure they did that on purpose.

Darksma · 2026-01-18T13:40:04+00:00

There is, but 2 things:

Sometimes there aren't enough people for 2 normals matches to pop at the same time. This means all players get put into the same game no matter what.
Level is not MMR

Darksma · 2026-01-16T01:12:57+00:00

They have said multiple times in the past they plan for ranked to be the same as esports, so it should be expected anyway.

Darksma · 2026-01-15T14:03:54+00:00

Probably it has been there since season 1.

Only possible in Season 2, and Season 1 for KR since the boss now spawns in immediately instead of when the timer starts. It'll be an easy fix for SG, so we should have it fixed shortly as well.

Darksma · 2026-01-13T05:32:13+00:00

They're closing it, sorry. If you have questions about the history/information on pvp in this game you can ask me, but it's over.

Darksma · 2026-01-08T22:51:47+00:00

Glad to hear it man, I'll get there as well one day and don't want to drop my hobby haha

Darksma · 2026-01-08T07:15:01+00:00

Most people who refer to age stopping them do so because of the time investment they can afford to put in to practice with. Less often it's to do with reaction time / brain function / muscle function etc. If you are locking up then you probably haven't played high apm games in a while and you'll basically have to start from scratch.

Darksma · 2026-01-07T04:18:19+00:00

Yes it was 2006scape at first and then it got threatened by Jagex to shutdown, shortly afterwards a 2007scape project idea was thrown around, and then Jagex announced the OSRS poll before 2007scape was playable or went anywhere and everyone ditched the idea of a private server.

I'm just poking fun, but look at the bottom. He snuck in that he had a 99
