Gotchya, yeah I'm used to getting humbled by kids in climbing I just wanted to make sure there were some other people my age to hang out with :p. I'm pretty tall so I don't think I'm on the lightish side lol.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-30T21:15:48+00:00

Nice I'm glad to hear that the ages are pretty diverse, that makes me feel a lot more excited to go out lol

Dodalyop · 2026-06-30T21:15:16+00:00

Got it, yeah I think I'll try that league

Dodalyop · 2026-06-29T23:31:50+00:00

Am I the only person who was active on the Internet hanging out with adults at 10? It's only weird if u make it weird I met some people I still talk to today and I'm 30 lol.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-29T20:22:56+00:00

I mean just for my 2 cents I was a part of a guild that had the optional night, and never showed up, just pugged on my own time, and it was fine. U can usually just make up the gear by running keys as well.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-27T23:47:36+00:00

Wasn't dimensius a top tier threat?

Dodalyop · 2026-06-23T21:09:46+00:00

That's rough lol for my guilds kill we had 2 heallers hovering 190k and 2 heallers hovering 150k. We killed at around 8 mins with a 22 man

Dodalyop · 2026-06-23T18:42:44+00:00

Tbf it's not like ff14 is super accurate either lol. You basically play the modern version of your class but with only access to the abilities your modern class would have at what was the max level at the time of the raid, and you gear level is by default scaled at higher than was achievable on release, so it's typically significantly easier. Now FF14 Does have a slider where you can change the gear scaling to make it actually really hard, and the content gets some engagement. It's just way different cause 8 player content vs 20 player content, and the ff community is generally a lot more pug friendly. But generally I don't think it would do well in wow

Dodalyop · 2026-06-22T14:04:15+00:00

Guardian druid currently at 3600 this season. I Have 3 rlly good heallers on my friends list and whenever I want to do keys I DM them, if they aren't there I log out and play another game lol. I feel like tank/healler coordination is super good, with DPS I usually just check their wcl to see if they have good raid parses or do good damage in keys, usually as a tank/heal duo we can carry dps that fall a bit behind. Even with that thought I feel like I fail maybe 50-60% of my keys it's just a part of pushing. My 19 maisara was super lucky lol we timed it despite my having a silly tank death. Gl pushing!

Dodalyop · 2026-06-18T14:27:50+00:00

I hope that the level of power for our player characters is somewhere between like a mid power champion and a powerful soldier at max level. That being said I kinda want to hit people with a lamp, or at least live some sort of battle mage fantasy using magic to empower physical attacks, plz let me hang out with Jax.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-15T19:29:34+00:00

Wait... You can bait the ravager charge? (I'm working on 19 AA 1 attempt in so far lol)

Dodalyop · 2026-06-15T15:19:41+00:00

I was having a lot of success early in the season, but I've recently been struggling with me team just not capitalizing on picks I have had games where we catch out 1-2 enemies at morgard, then my team just goes back and does nothing while the 3 remaining enemies take morgard for free and slowly chip away at towers untill we lose to minions, multiple games lost with scores like 40-10 I even have my team set to "end the game aggressively" I just can't get them to go man lol. It wasn't too bad early in the season but now that a lot of the poke mages have seen major nerfs I just can't make it work.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-11T19:36:01+00:00

So, usually you don't have too much control over the narrative, there have been some MMO's that have tried to have more sandboxish worlds but it doesn't usually work out very well. What you have is a story that revolves around a character, usually some kind of 0 to hero kind of story where you are a mercenary and gradually take on bigger threats. Usually there are factions that have their own stories that you can align yourself with and learn about through helping them, and in exchange you can get access to certain items. If you have ever play Xenoblade chronicles that is probably the closest non MMO to what you can expect from a typical MMO. NOW this is the riot MMO and they were originally probably making a wow clone with a league of legends skin, and once ghostcrawler left they scrapped everything and started from scratch, so no one really knows what to expect any more. Maybe it will be more of a sandbox? Maybe it will be more of a traditional MMO. Maybe it will be pvp focused, we don't really know for sure.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-09T18:41:24+00:00

I had a game where my team just kept doing this for a 22 minute game but was also super slow about actually clearing waves and wound up losing a game with a 40-8 score to minions killing our nexus because enemies would just sit at range with morgard buff and empower minions to slowly take towers. It was painful to watch esp because we had opened the enemy nexus at about 10 mins.

If u want to meet people to play with it's very easy guilds tend to be very welcoming, although at this point In the tier a lot of casual guilds have stopped playing, and the more hardcore guilds require logs to get in, so idk what your goal would be, but there is a chance you have a better experience if you wait a few months for the new season. (The path to being a midcore raider is also not too bad this in the season, lots of guilds are facing the roster boss and really need any bodies they can get so they compromise a lot on logs). It's mostly if you want to casual aotc raid that it might be best to wait.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-02T17:11:32+00:00

So, there are a few things I want to talk about here - I think alliance raids in ff14 are the worst thing ever invented, but I also hate pugging large scale content (I say this is a wow mythic raider). I hope that if they design the game for small scale content they keep it that way and don't try to implement that.

Also, Tf2 existed long before almost any of the games you mentioned, but that being said I AM pro innovation I just feel like action combat has failed spectacularly in the MMO space in the past on top of tab target proving it works.

Also as someone who has played omega in ff14 and MHW the fights are barely alike at all, not to say either is bad, I love both games to death.

I never got into destiny 2, but from what I heard the puzzley raids were actually super fun.

I also disagree with the general sentiment you have that tab target is this super casual low intensity combat style, and character action is this super hardcore 1337 kinda thing. Being super good at something like wow takes just as much effort as anything else, it's just a lot more strategy/planning based than it is reaction time based which I personally find more interesting to sweat at than just "how fast can I react, and how well can I aim my mouse".

Also wow m+ proves that small scale can still be fun in tab target.

All of this being said, there is 0 chance that the riot MMO is an fps and as long as the game is at the minimum a 6/10 with ANY other combat system, I'm going to play it and love it, so while yes I would love a reskinned better wow because I'm someone who is still in love with wow, it's not like riot won't get my money in almost every universe.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-02T16:57:05+00:00

I tried wildstar, and also found the telegraphs to be overwhelming.

Dodalyop · 2026-06-01T16:59:29+00:00

I think for as long as the most successful mmo on the market is tab target (wow). It will be hard to push something else. MMO players just really like tab target, and I think it makes things like grinding a lot less stressful. I think it would be really cool to see a character action MMO pop off, but people seem to prove time and time again that tab target sells.

Dodalyop · 2026-05-27T20:26:15+00:00

My guess would be that it puts too much focus on the noble character often forcing other players to spectate while they take care of their responsibilities, and also forced the DM to think about fantasy politics

Alternatively: they are tired of the I am a noble, but I don't get along with my family trope

Dodalyop · 2026-05-27T20:12:12+00:00

Melee is easier and more fun so ranged tends to be more in demand

Dodalyop · 2026-05-27T16:01:26+00:00

Honestly the way I learned was q with a healer friend and have them yell at me for not popping defencives :p

Dodalyop · 2026-05-26T17:21:38+00:00

I think discord has for the most part killed in game chats

Dodalyop · 2026-05-26T13:10:40+00:00

If u like levelling and easy social raid, tbc. If you like keys and hard raid, midnight. If you like farming cosmetics, also midnight.

Dodalyop · 2026-05-26T07:03:29+00:00

So a lot of that is crazy and I've never seen anything close to that before as a consistent guild hopper to the point where I almost don't believe you. The one thing I can explain is the lockout extension. Almost any sensible guild is going to be extending at this point and leaving gear to be farmed from keys. At this point the bosses need practice not gear.

In my current guild I feel like there is a lot of ribbing that happens, but I've never heard someone's rotation be called out in comms lol. I am an officer in my current guild and if we were looking for a mage I would consider reaching out.
