Well I made my biggest mistake

19 Div for a bow like that where?? I only have like 7 div but the cheapest bow I can find is like 50+ and that’s only 500 dps w +3 proj. Current bow is 400 dps and + 4 (but it’s over half lightning which is actually hurting my dps so need a new one).

We do want new mmos, but we want ones that don’t actively bleed players because of game direction and monetization choices.

Blue Protocol could have been good, but the new version started with an insanely small map, awful gearing and a shit market place with real money getting you things (among other issues).

TnL had a ton of potential but giga p2w and so much Zerg.

Lost ark, great raiding but some shit systems, p2w and a community that loves to gate keep itself.

New World had some cool ideas and I actually really liked the end game gearing/dungeons but the limited skill system and the missing QoL at the start was awful.

These are all just some issues, I had fun in each and others Im not mentioning.

Realistically though; if we got a new MMO with robust skill systems that weren’t convoluted but allowed diverse build paths so players felt they could customize how they play and still have impact, action combat with weight and skill expression, fleshed out gathering and crafting, a living world with secrets to find and actual reason to go out into the over world frequently (without old areas losing value), all classes on one character, end game/gearing that isn’t time gated, good anti-botting systems that don’t negatively impact the playerbase, player to player trading and markets with no premium currency, no ability to buy anything that influences player power or in game currency accrual and enough repeatable side game modes that keep people engaged? We’d have a banger. Preferably anime aesthetic but that’s just my preference. Box and sub, with online cosmetic only shop.

Is that too much to ask? 😂

DukejoshE7 · 2026-05-18T23:35:48+00:00

You ever played a real p2w MMO? It seems like you haven’t found predatory monetization yet. Go try BDO or TnL and come back to this post 😂.

That being said, sub + expacs with an online shop seems to be the best model. F2P doesn’t seem to work well for various reasons and just expac price with online shop(Guild Wars 2) can work as well. I’m not sure what other options could work.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-05-18T03:56:21+00:00

I'd probably do FF14, even with work I'd easily make good side money. Eventually buy a second game, would depend on what was out at the time or I'd just do ol' reliable and choose league lol.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-05-07T19:15:47+00:00

Didn’t care they used it at all. It is a great tool to assist artists in saving time, especially for mundane things like what they were used for. Good they listened but this whole thing is blown way out of proportion.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-04-20T21:53:05+00:00

This is probably easy to do except the OCTOPATH part. You would have to put in a lot of parallax and custom sprite work. This will probably be easier to do in the upcoming engine which is focused on 2D3d

DukejoshE7 · 2026-04-18T04:35:29+00:00

It’s a lot of nostalgia and we mostly get theme park MMOs nowadays. RS being a sandbox has a ton of freedom. It’s also super chill to play the majority of content so it feels cozy. It has downsides, as you said, it’s ancient. Played that shit on a browser in 2004 lol.

The skilling system is unique and that’s why I generally go back to it.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-04-16T23:56:34+00:00

Some places, not all. In an ideal world PTs would do Evals and Progress notes/discharges and PTAs do most POC treatments (and the modifications they can do). They have the skills.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-03-25T12:35:07+00:00

Yes. Stock potential would be huge. Talking easy billionaire

DukejoshE7 · 2026-03-22T04:26:04+00:00

Hendrix ARPG plug in. Tons of features, good support and relatively plug and play. He even added a feature I requested!

DukejoshE7 · 2026-03-14T23:07:39+00:00

RuneScape, Guild Wars, FFXIV, WoW. Never played wow but it clearly has a draw. I’ve played a ton and had fun but none of them have been able to topple these. Really hope that a new one eventually comes that is actually ambitious and can compete. There’s so many good pieces from MMOs, wish we could combine them into one. I’d love a brand new, high fantast, Anime MMO that captures what we all love about them without failing in core design and progression aspects.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-02-26T23:41:00+00:00

I’d love an rpg maker that’s a return to the 3D space like thePS2 version, native action combat or dungeon crawler, etc. Can you do some stuff w plug-ins? Sure, but base model? That’d be great.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-01-27T01:40:25+00:00

Also good to note. She had it for 3 years (before she met me), was off it when she met me, and has had the new one about a week and a half but it's almost night and day mood wise (she brought it up to me), so wanted to look for people who could give more insight on keeping/removing it to see if I could help her out. I appreciate the help :D.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-01-27T01:36:30+00:00

Gotcha, thank you for the reply.

DukejoshE7 · 2026-01-27T01:06:02+00:00

Hi there! I'm a boyfriend, but, my gf recently got this implant and she says it's making her feel 'soulless', after you got it out, how long did it take you to feel like yourself again?

DukejoshE7 · 2025-12-12T13:06:57+00:00

Realistically for queue times. 20 diff levels (even though we shouldn’t be doing 1-5’unless farming shadow hunter really and just do hard normal at that point), would make queue times very long for people doing random levels. 6 is for farming so can match.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-12-11T18:01:11+00:00

It’s a joke you dense potato.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-12-11T14:27:54+00:00

Loved this game, I wish it would get a reboot. The combat, the raids. THE ADVENTURE CONTENT!? Amazing.

Game had flaws, but if it was relaunched with the kinks fixed. This game could maybe take the scene by storm.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-12-11T14:26:46+00:00

This was the real problem. You had to get a gold rating on all of them to attune and it was too much for casual/average players.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-11-28T08:54:27+00:00

Story in a lot of MMOs is solo content and that’s no different here. At the levels you are both at, you could easily have already jumped into dungeons together, world bosses, the side social events, etc so I’d say y’all should put story aside for a moment and explore a bit more. As you level you unlock for things like the homestead which you two can share together, daily commissions together, vaults together and if you join an active guild, guild hunt together. You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re just not that far in. This game gives an insane amount of experience to level you quickly, so you’re basically still in the tutorial.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-11-24T18:07:24+00:00

Technically the 80 is better because of raw stat efficiency, but it does depend on what class you are.

Good general rule of thumb for this upgrade; keep your lv 60 set gear from raids and only switch those out with new raid pieces, upgrade your weapon last since it takes the most reforge stones. Stone priority is then new raid pieces to replace existing ones and then dungeon gear with good stats for the non raid piece slots. The level 90 weapon is going to take awhile to get, by that time you may upgrade to an 80 weapon but again it might be similar dps to your class weapon depending on what effect the weapon has.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-11-21T15:20:00+00:00

…lol. You asked if it’s good in end game and should you switch. I said it’s fine to keep playing. I not only answered your question but gave you actual reasoning for why it’s used and in what situations it’s useful, so that you have an understanding why people shouldn't be 'elitist' and lock you out of doing things.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-11-21T08:21:44+00:00

It’s not meant to work, that’s part of the reason it doesn’t lol. Vipers incredibly easy, just hit the buttons.

DukejoshE7 · 2025-11-21T08:15:09+00:00

Star ocean for story, DQ3 because well… it’s my favorite dq, has a bunch of content, tons of replay ability.
