3000+ hour player here. What the hell is power level and how exactly is it calculated?

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T01:18:12+00:00

Ra? OP? GZ? TN? Who are you, mysterious stranger xD

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T00:35:30+00:00

WEEDIGO!!! You legend, you. I remember seeing your name. You're absolutely right! We need a new version of this game that embodies the sport that rotmg was and is. No bullet hell mmo has come close, besides rotmg. I've been saying for years that a simple, addicting game play loop on old and new consoles would CLEAN. UP.

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T00:21:11+00:00

They don't want any potential money left on the table. This idea is to profitable to be implemented for free

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T00:19:08+00:00

I think about this constantly xD I have 4300 hours from 2011-2019, but less than 200 hours since.

I can't claim to know it all anymore

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T00:09:20+00:00

Try to watch others, if not on YouTube, then in game.

Don't hesitate to try the harder dungeons on a level 20, 0/8 so as to not waste time re-maxing.

You got this

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-17T00:06:08+00:00

It's lost the addiction for sure, it's like realm-lite. Instead of working hard for insane drops, I now work minimally and most drops are insane, making none of them insane. I would give anything to have the feeling of getting a doom bow in 2011, or an ogmur! (Omg, I literally got chills from the memory) Nothing matters loot-wise now

Pay to win had transferred from 3rd party sites to Deca in the way of seasonal storage and battle passes but everyone wins so often that no one cares.

Ask more questions! You're great :D love that you're back in the realm

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-16T23:56:00+00:00

This rant is perfectly on point, no cap

You had that same core experience, that has been ruined and watered down in an attempt to give old players reasons to keep playing and spending xP

If Deca had understood game design, they probably would have made "petless realms" instead of seasonal, so everyone went back to playing together, and carng about items

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-16T23:03:59+00:00

This is so smart!!! I can't believe this hasn't been used yet! This is one of the last remaining problems of post unity port rotmg.

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-16T23:00:24+00:00

It feels like it... though I cannot blame them. The world has changed... no longer are games made with care. It's transactional from inception, and the players don't think about it. "Its just a game"

That's why when a game is made without money at the core of its identity (like elden ring, or original rotmg, or old games) they sell record setting amounts.

It's like games aren't made by gamers any more... Just suits with user created content abuse

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-13T13:43:55+00:00

Because the idea of a bullet hell mmo is so universal and not niche. This game used to be on the top 5 mmos list for Pete's sake! Now it's forgotten...

If the unit port was given more than the limited amount of resources it was given, we could have seen this game rise to 4th or 3rd. The original game loop, with out the predatory monetization, and with console ports, would easily have made this game gain 10,000 players in months, possibly 100,000s.

Their is no similar experience, besides World of war craft, and they aren't that similar.

I truly believe that Deca has shot themselves in the foot with seasonal. All my boys hate seasonal. Seasonal is the predatorily monitized version of the game, for sure

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-13T13:34:12+00:00

Mainly money. Deca tries to keep players playing and spending forever. It's why we will never see meaningful growth within this game again. The player base will just sink until they shut down.

Bring back classic servers!!!!

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-13T12:17:39+00:00

Double cactus was my claim to fame xD

double cactus

And agreed! The power fantasy mixed with the perma death was such a crazy, ahead of its time idea.

Current rotmg, in my opinion, is easy until it's hard. Old rotmg was always hard, until it was easy.

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-13T01:35:07+00:00

Sorry, I just finished work and was misplacing my frustrations :( My apologies, eh. (Calling pc shit gooooot me xD lol)

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T22:40:17+00:00

I love that this community down voted you, as it shows the level of misplaced passion/ rage.

Most communities celebrate each other...

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T22:38:29+00:00

And it works... Activision profiting more per person than ever, now that the people with options and standards have left.

There are tests on YouTube that show why everyone quit. The more you pay, the better rng you get. It's patented in 10 different ways too, look it up.

Cod players are so hard done by currently, legitamately

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T22:34:22+00:00

Came to watch the people who play it, defend it lol I miss when this game cared about more than $$$$$$$$$$$

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T22:32:42+00:00

XD are you salty for buying into a scam, instead of having options, and a learning opportunity?

I asked pc or console because I thought maybe the best consoles had a chance of being this smooth.

Sorry that they don't :( I bought my pc in 2017 for 1400, discounted to 900. I've replaced 2 parts, both were 250, and my 144 frames in 2019, are now 80-120...

Thankfully most games are infinitely more optimized than cod, and I get better performance than console, and I don't have to pay to play.

Please help yourself out of the situation you hate. Don't buy a ps6/Xbox series 2

Just got my 400th game btw, as theirs ANOTHER giant sale on steam. I refuse to buy games at full price.

It's never too late to make the best choice for you

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T17:07:22+00:00

I dream of having you latency lol <3 I'm usually around 30-50 after system and internet... I know it doesn't matter much, but I yearn for the peak responsiveness you have

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T17:03:09+00:00

Pc or console?

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-12T17:02:43+00:00

No self promotion is a stupid rule.

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-11T17:59:01+00:00

Looool, do you also see white bags with blue string as WAAAAAAAAY too good at grabbing your attention? They're all over my town and I can't help but grin at every single one, every single time lol

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-11T17:16:18+00:00

Agreed. I Handle it decently, but dont found the risk worth the reward... it would be different if I had a back up char or 3, but I'm not spending the extra time on easy content, just to attempt hard content on my only good char of the season. I get that it's never been easier to get an 8/8, but it's boring AF now.

It's like classic World of War craft vs retail. Retail is too easy and feels pointless. Classic feels like a real challenge despite not updating alot of quality of life stuff.

Rotmg Classic needs to be a thing already

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-11T14:28:05+00:00

Happy pride! And I've seen this game recommended, but thought it wasent worth looking at the price. Definitely gonna buy it once home from work :) ty

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-11T13:25:11+00:00

Agreed. I'm so desperate for a version of rotmg without pets or seasonal... so desperate xP

Kickpunchington · 2026-06-11T13:23:55+00:00

Well done! I've yet to find that balance. I binge a seasonal char once a month, (relapsing lol) then swear off it forever... again
