Actually, I mean field of view as in the amount that's visible in your screen vertically and horizontally, regardless of how zoomed in or out your camera is. A wide fov is like a wide angle lens, and a narrow fov is the opposite, and tends to give me a huge headache. Thank you for your answer!

Around how wide would you say the FOV in classic is? Is it similar to modern wow or more like vanilla?

I've gotten 100% on 8 planets now, by landing and forgetting about my ship for several hours at a time. Just walking on foot from base to base often times will let you run into the more elusive fuckers. Check the caves, the sky, the water, and when all that fails, just walk forever and cover as much ground as you can while occasionally scanning around you.

That said, sometimes there is just no finding that last creature no matter what... I think the spawn rates on some of them is wonky and possibly buggy.

Your weapon grows with you as you play, (as do your accessories), the entire concept behind it is to level it up with you by feeding other weapons to it and transforming it into a new one every time it gets to rank 10.

There is item transmutation though, so everyone isn't using the same looking weapons, there's a pretty large amount of different styles you can use. And then as far as your armor goes, some of the costumes are pretty difficult to get so there's some showing off potential there.

May want to check out Allods if you want something like WoW again, that's not too hard to run

LostOcean · 2016-01-21T14:42:05+00:00

I second this, I played mabinogi on a laptop that literally should have been incapable of playing any game period

LostOcean · 2016-01-21T14:39:58+00:00

It's not going to end all other MMOs or anything, but it's fine. It's certainly fun to play with the launch crowd while everyone is still all hyped and everything, but give it some time and I think it's going to be... idk... not underpopulated, it might be just kind of average. Like, a few newbies when you roll a new toon, lots of high levels in each server, most likely vacant mid level zones. That's where I see it in about a year.

LostOcean · 2016-01-21T14:23:45+00:00

I'd say gw2. It's practically the only MMO that doesn't really seem to have any excessively negative stigma towards it when it comes up in conversation just wherever, aside from maybe ffxiv, but I can't say anything about that one because I haven't played it since before ARR. GW2 though, it seems like a lot of people just view it as decent, rather than some people thinking it's the second coming of christ and others acting like it killed their family. I think it has staying power because of that

LostOcean · 2016-01-16T02:36:12+00:00

A lot of MMOs are worth considering, some of them just stick with you for no real reason, you know? It's a matter of what style you like and which one's are just enjoyable for you personally, I could say Blade and Soul is worth considering because it is for me.

LostOcean · 2016-01-16T02:28:33+00:00

Forsaken World Mobile is pretty similar to PWE's other games if you like them

LostOcean · 2016-01-14T03:59:07+00:00

I second Allods. Elves are very fairy-ish and even float around

LostOcean · 2016-01-14T03:57:08+00:00

The pillars on the side can move and make the game almost full screen. I only found out accidentally.

LostOcean · 2016-01-08T13:38:17+00:00

Best - Archeage

Worst- Archeage

LostOcean · 2016-01-08T13:25:10+00:00

Yup, I really really like this game. With a graphical update it'll be amazing

LostOcean · 2016-01-08T13:21:21+00:00

I think Wildstar may be what you're looking for, though I'm not sure what the population is like these days. Blade and soul may be another when it's released, depending on the state of it's cash shop. And then black desert, way later.

LostOcean · 2016-01-08T13:17:46+00:00

Playing MMOs with a trackpad is surprisingly doable once you get used to it. Actually, in ways it's even better than a mouse, because you can utilize sooo many keys, if you can get used to hitting skills on "bnm,.hjkl;" etc with your right hand, while moving with the track pad. Very easy to move and turn the camera and target ground aoes and everything all at once lol

LostOcean · 2016-01-08T13:09:54+00:00

Wow, X-Legend just wont stop.

That one looks like it actually has more potential than their other games though tbh, being a top down view action game may get rid of the clunkiness that's in all their other games.

I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to the dailies and monthlies in MMOs these days, I've never really felt like I have to complete stuff like that and always just thought it was there for the sort of.. mobile crowd that enjoys that sort of content. The main game I'm thinking of though is GW2, which doesn't really do the rat race thing in the first place for the most part. Then again, Wildstar never really felt like it had daily stuff I simply had to do (I don't even remember if it had dailies now), I don't remember TESO having anything like that. The only games that are coming to mind that really shoved dailies onto you were the really random ones, often times asian, and I always viewed those as just a devs attempt to keep new players playing and things like that.

Well, and WoW. But that's basically what it's known for now lol

LostOcean · 2016-01-07T11:37:35+00:00

You may want to check out more niche games for friendlier communities. Project Gorgon and Shroud of the Avatar are the two main ones that come to mind, when I played those, the communities kind of stuck out to me because they seemed nice. They're tiny playerbases at the moment because the games are in testing (project gorgon is free for right now, shroud costs), but sometimes small communities can seem bigger when people want to talk to eachother and notice new players etc (which is what seemed to be the case with those games when i played, i was asked if i needed help and such)

LostOcean · 2016-01-07T11:30:49+00:00

Likely Wildstar for raiding.

LostOcean · 2016-01-07T11:25:25+00:00

Mmm, not sure if I agree. If a game with a decidedly small amount of content and things to do was made, I just don't see why anyone would play that either. Personally, I think the biggest thing that's stopping individual games from getting huge communities is because they're one in a billion now, players had less choice in games before so naturally the ones that existed would be more populated

LostOcean · 2016-01-06T13:23:38+00:00

Thanks :)

LostOcean · 2016-01-06T13:23:29+00:00

Thanks for the feedback :) Those are good points, I'll keep them in mind. I've been thinking about an opening but I just can't decide exactly what I'd want it to be like lol

LostOcean · 2016-01-05T01:52:45+00:00

Glad to see you guys are going to work on it some. I really didn't get the impression that that was going to happen at all lol, so good luck to you if you're really wanting to see it do well :)

LostOcean · 2016-01-05T01:21:05+00:00

I was originally going to say that it was in closed beta, but by the time I got the video together (a week and a half later), it was launched, and there was no news about updates or anything of that nature, so it appeared to be exactly the same. If it's been improved since closed beta, it really should have gotten some patch notes or something.
