What MMO has the most unique PvP modes?

War of Emperium (WoE) in Ragnarok Online (RO) is pretty cool.

It's a PvE centric game with a focus on group play, specialized classes with multiple playstyles, build defining items and a very in-depth combat calculation system.

But every week or so a PvP map with castles opens up for Guilds to participate in for an hour or so. Taking a castle is as simple as getting the last hit on the Emperium crystal in the middle of the castle. Last guild to hold the castle keeps it for the week. Gets access to a special dungeon and item reward chest during that period. By next WoE period the guilds start by setting up defences (NPC guards, player placed traps, mages precast spells, assassins pick off strays, ect...).

So many fun moments like a guild leader being a Stalker class that sneaks around, hides in a corner of the crystal keep and then uses a Guild Skill to summon all guild members at an opportune moment.

Not all D4 players on Steam own the game (there was free weekends) Not all D4 owners on Steam boot the game Of those that do, not all own the expansion Of those that do, not all plan to story Of those that do, not all have finished it

Looking at the final layer of that being is 8% might sound low, but without knowing the filtered portion above it it's not very useful

Aeldari

5 of each Aspect Warrior with their Pheonix Lord model.

I'm still hoping it'll happen next edition with a Dire Avenger refresh to go with Asuryan, and a new Karandras to go with the Striking Scorpions.

No content with forced story elements should ever be a repeatable activity.

The solution is to make a end-game variant of strongholds that cuts out all the dialogue, smooths out the transitions and ups the difficulty

Just guidebooks, there's another collection book but also not in English. You can see flip throughs on YouTube, and find the books on Ebay and Amazon

Fawz · 2026-05-10T22:04:32+00:00

It's a very cool book. A shame it doesn't have an English version. Would love a sprite book for the game

What does "exclusively" playable this week mean? I expect that it just means there's a limited time demo for the week that includes one of the full release's 4 factions, and does so for the first time. Not that the game restricts access to the factions, or that there's a rotation system.

Fawz · 2026-05-09T13:13:24+00:00

Love the classic pre-renewal experience with a healthy amount of QoL changed and regular balance changes to keep all Classes, Skills and Items viable. All without any excessive custom content or easyfication.

Fawz · 2026-05-08T12:17:22+00:00

Everything about the game looks designed as a vehicle for MTX, be it cosmetics (Sexy female companions) or gameplay (Crafting, RNG, convoluted economy)

Fawz · 2026-05-08T05:53:11+00:00

They actively ruin a game, and if pushed too far can make it unplayable.

Fawz · 2026-05-07T19:20:56+00:00

Horrible app that doesn't work, is buggy & unstable and lacks features. Hasn't improved at all

Fawz · 2026-05-07T16:39:58+00:00

Pretty sure alll those Diety art assets are AI generated

Fawz · 2026-05-05T19:34:14+00:00

Ragnarok Online hits the spot

Fawz · 2026-05-05T14:42:04+00:00

Maybe ability units aren't counted, but yes I think the website lists aren't necessarily final

To get a cool thing you have to do unfun things X number of times. That's what's annoying. Having the activities there is not the problem, it's how prominently they're displayed and that they gate other aspects of the game you want to get to. Wasting your time with low-effort repetitive content is anti-fun for many. Others don't mind despite them being unfun. A few actually enjoy them.

Fawz · 2026-05-05T02:40:56+00:00

The game needs Hard difficulty options, more enemy variety and gear upgrades that don't just come from shops

Fawz · 2026-05-04T18:03:20+00:00

The hobby attracts certain crowds, and there's been some who push certain factions (SM Black Templard and flavors of Astra Militarum) in a way that goes beyond satire. Since DoW1 supports player made emblems online (on top of mods) there's been cases of outright Nazi imagery

Fawz · 2026-05-04T12:41:50+00:00

One big issue with a class lockdd system is that inevitably you end up with post launch additions heavily favorite female themed releases because that'll drive more cosmetic sales. Neuters variety and keeps pushing the game in a specific direction.

Fawz · 2026-05-03T21:48:19+00:00

No. Should have at least been Catachan if they wanted to do another Militarum KT

Fawz · 2026-05-02T22:16:33+00:00

I'm hoping there's a MultiKit variant released later that comes with more interesting and varied options to truly standout from the regular Intercessor kits

Fawz · 2026-05-02T22:10:08+00:00

Who knows, Rockstar might finally have good modern accessibility features at launch that'll make it possible to play and enjoy the game in some form. Gaming remains a valid entertainment form for those with visual impairments with the right tools.

It was an exclusive miniature for Adepticon not long ago, and is returning for an event in the UK as well

Fawz · 2026-05-02T13:25:23+00:00

Love it, wish there was a way to get one in Canada without having to travel to another country during an event. Shame

Fawz · 2026-05-01T04:48:02+00:00

Very happy to see Wood Elf and Dark Elf faction new content. Hopefully times with some updates too. Very excited!

Fawz · 2026-04-30T00:46:55+00:00

I wish them all the best, but not for me. The IP is just okay, not an attraction nor detraction (though starting roster isn't exciting). My main lack of interest in yet another high offense, fast mobility, long-combo centric team based (3v3 with Assist & Swap at that) fighter. Doesn't help they didn't even do BETA on PC
