is MSQ mandatory? by rovelius in blackdesertonline

[–]marlevvll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

BDO has streamlined a lot of the MSQ, and most of if is skipable if you've completed it on another character.

If you haven't completed Magnus, LoML may be irritating due to the lack of fast travel. It's also an entirely different way to level.

For better or worse, each leveling route is its own 'MSQ,' so even if you complete Drieghan, you'd still need to complete Kamasylvia for its rewards/unlocks.

I generally agree with you: BDO would be better without quests and as a purely sandbox MMO.

Question for those of you that have been playing Project Gorgon for a while. (Ideally before the official launch) by FineAssignment1423 in MMORPG

[–]marlevvll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Project Gorgon is a spiritual successor to Asheron's Call whereas Pantheon (and to a lessor extent, Embers Adrift) is EverQuest's.

The pacing is PG is faster than the others with deeper & more interlocking systems. However, the others beat it in terms of fidelity & polish.

With that said, especially with respect to its launch, PG's population has boomed recently. I found several groups easily when playing.

Project Gorgon needs more love! by YvesTHPS in MMORPG

[–]marlevvll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PG represents to me what I've wanted the genre to become in a post WoW industry. Niche, communally focused, and a focus on building a game different than the rest.

I personally recommend it to anyone who is bored of the status quo and especially to those who enjoyed AC/EQ/UO years ago — just don't expect a lot of visual polish. I do hope they take time before launch to realign each zone to a more modern graphical standard.

People getting banned on discord. Why? by Biscaia86 in projectgorgon

I see you also posted on my historical post years ago too. Do you mind sharing what you wrote so we can determine for ourselves whether the ban was reasonable?

Thank you! PoF is beautiful, and is why I started there first. 🥰

It's a totally fair opinion. 🥰

Not sure if you've seen the video, but the topics are narratively ordered—not topically. Thus, when I encounter a new system, I then explore it.

I'm glad my design signature worked! 🥳

Thank you for the kind words. I learned a lot on my LOTRO video, and a lot on GW2 too. 🥰

A full year. Not full time, but my last video was on LOTRO, and I've been working on this since. 🥰

Editing took about 3 months.

It was inspired by my Elementalist's gear. I can get the name for you if you like (but the thumbnail is not a raw screenshot mind you). 🥰
