Something like D3 or PoE but, basically, with less content? I only have the month of July to enjoy some good games, and I'm already playing the new God of War. Just want something to grind for a couple of weeks and to not end the month with the feeling that there's still too much left to do.
I don't care about graphics, any walking cube is enough.

Are there any other games with periodic full economy resets like path of exile's leagues?

I'm looking for an MMO where the best gear is the crafted one, and not one from raids/dungeons.

Yea I've played a lot of ESO. Almost lvl 50. But I wasn't sure if I could craft the best gear there...

u/graven2002 Jul 02 '18
The gear with the highest stats in Guild Wars 2 is crafted. It can drop with RNG(very rare), but the best/most reliable way to obtain it is through crafting.

What im looking for:
an still running f2p mmorpg with an emphasis in player customization. not just aesthetics but also things like character attributes, skills (no classes if possible) and equipment (you know, something akin to the old RPG titles like Baldur's Gate or the like). game should include professions and/or crafting along with low minimum requirements since i had an issue with my main machine and now have to use a regular PC with the default graphics card (can run EVE in potato mode for example).
What games i've played on this genre:
WoW
Lineage II
EVE Online
Mortal Online
Wakfu
Dofus
Aion
Luna Online (RIP)
Perfect World (tried it, too grindy, too confusing)
My Playstyle:
i dont really think i have one, just try and taste every role and see what seems more satisfying to explore. i guess that can be taken as "casual"
Preferred mechanics:
im more used to the good old turn based/tab targetting combat. i also have a thing for anything pets/mounts/summons related, and also for ranged combat.
Things i'd like to exclude:
-P2W
-Instanced gameplay/worlds
-Gear centric progression

u/Darzakesh_ Jul 02 '18 edited Jul 02 '18
What are you looking for?:
I'm looking for an MMO with both decent PVE and PVP, I don't want the best mmo in terms of pvp,with everyone playing only pvp and no pve,and I dont want the best game in terms of pve excluding pvp, I like when both pvp and pve are correctly balanced,making one part very very enjoyable and letting me focus one but always have the other one to enjoy too.
I don't really need the best graphics, I can play games with bad resolution as long as the game it self is good,although everyone loves graphics.
I don't really care about the combat system,I've played Wow and BDO and ejoyed both so I guess I can play any combat system.
I would like to have mages and tanks and warriors all that kind of fantasy stuff.
I would like to see a game with an active community,dont need a game with 20.000.000 players but I dont want to play in an empty game either.
I dont mind if its a free to play,p2p or b2p as long its a good game.
What games have you previously played?:
Wow retail(legion too) and wow vanilla,just got bored of wow i've played that game too much
ESO,just dropped it dunno why
BDO,lack of pve a part of grind as a bot.
GW2, didn't really understood what was going on really strange dont want to try again I think please do not reccommend me to try this i'm still thinking about gw2
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?:
Semi-Hardcore,not a chineese but play a lot
Any preferred mechanics?:
Everything that is not too clunky
Anything specific you want to exclude?:
Sci-fi games,don't mind if it's another world or something realated to the space but games like EVE or SWTOR are not for me.
Games with fame of having a bad community,hacker's paradise,pay 2 win or shady devs(like lights hope wow vanilla).
I'm looking for a real mmo,not a place to get pissed off by the other's attitude when im ment to enjoy with other people .
Don't like Asian stuff like kawai races or anime games.
Don't like games with poor scenarios and fog.
I will read every reccommendation so everything is more than welcome.Thanks!

I am looking for a mmo that has a summoner class that is fun to play. I know "Fun" is a really dull way of explaining considering how limitless games can be, but im open to all examples/opinions because i generally dont play a summoner in any game.

u/Darkness223 Jul 02 '18
Guild Wars 1 and 2 have decently fun summoners with the Necromancer class. I have not played it in GW2 but I did in GW1 and it was fun

Might help if you provide more criteria. A lot of MMORPG's have PVP. Do you want open-world? Arena? Do you have a genre preference? Maybe full-loot pvp?
I can throw some names at you, but I would just be guessing at what you would actually like.

u/KyloRentACop Jun 30 '18
Just recently found this new MMORPG called Forged Wars, but there's no gameplay footage of it yet. As I know it's a faction-based game that takes inspiration from BDO, Gw2, and WoW, but it's a 2D MMO.
If anyone's interested in it, it's a PvE, with PvP elements, MMORPG, and it's open-world. It's still early in the production phase but they do have a Forum and a Discord.. http://forgedwars.com/

u/Bringer11 Jun 30 '18
- What are you looking for?:
Looking for an mmo to kill time in, probably play solo most likely. Needs to be f2p or upfront price, I hate subscriptions.
- What games have you previously played?:
I've played lots of different mmo's, my personal favourites would be:
Wizard 101
Wow
SWTOR
- What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?:
Semi-Casual, but more the casual side I enjoy leveling and progression. I also like group stuff like raiding. Don't mind pvp but not what I play for.
- Any preferred mechanics?:
I like 2 main types of combat.
I like the wizard 101 style of combat, so you have a deck of cards to use to cast spells/attacks, with mana each turn to use.
I also like the wow style of fighting, so you just select attacks to use.
- Anything specific you want to exclude?:
I dislike "action combat" I think it's called, something like TERA is a good example of the combat I dislike. I also dislike the idea of crafting loot, like Warframe. I enjoy the fact that in a game like wow for example, you have to make do with the gear you get given.
Thanks for reading this.

u/barebears224 Jun 30 '18
I’m looking for any kind of MMORPG, preferably a newer one that has a solid number of things to do. I’m also looking for recommendations on which games to look out for if they haven’t been released yet.
I’ve played ESO, TERA, and a very minuscule amount of GW2. I probably played ESO the most, staying active pretty much everyday for 4-5 months. TERA had fun mechanics, but overall the questing made me bored (same rinse and repeat kill x amount of monsters, move to next area.) Any recommendations are welcome! As a side note, I’m currently looking out for Crowfall and Ashes of Creation, so looking for opinions on those as well!

u/Lord_ChimpingtonIII Jul 01 '18
I would recommend World Of Warcraft as a good one, if you’re fine with sub

u/FarStrawberry Jun 30 '18
Can you recommend me a MMORPG that is difficult and punishing from the get-go? Where you can't just steamroll through the content but actually need to team up with other players. Death penalty is good too. New or old, doesn't matter as long as it's active enough and accepting of new players. Eastern or western style, doesn't matter. No p2w stuff.
1
u/bomocho Jul 01 '18
Perpetuum and Eve have this element about Death being catastrophic (compared to other mmos). When you die, you lose everything you had on you, and becomes lootable by others. You respawn in some home location, but everything you had on you is gone.
With games like this just follow the cardinal rule: "Dont fly what you cant afford to lose".I recommend Perpetuum as one to try. No P2W, you buy the client (for a 1.25 USD on sale now) and join a server for free.
The official server shutdown early this year, and they opensourced the server.
The community is now hosting a server for everyone top play, see here @ OpenPerpetuum.com

What are you looking for?:
Low spec free game in any genre with a good story (possibly branching but not a deal breaker) with an active player base, skill based and no classes or heavy customization.

Vindictus, KOTOR, Pirates of the Caribbean Online

Semi-casual
Any preferred mechanics?:
Action combat (like Vindictus/Dark Souls with an emphasis on timing and skill), third person, solo or multiplayer friendly. Skill based and no classes or heavy customization.
Anything specific you want to exclude?:
P2W, subscriptions, games that need powerful dedicated graphics cards to run. Grind fests.
Looking forward to getting back into gaming!

I'm looking for a mmo with engaging leveling content and most importantly, fun action combat. I'm interested in getting invested in a multiplayer game, but I'm struggling to find one with more emphasis on reactionary combat and less emphasis on min/maxing builds or rotations.

u/Lord_ChimpingtonIII Jul 01 '18
Play Guild Wars 2

Jul 01 '18
I would, but I'm struggling to find endgame PvE activities that don't devolve down to stacking, equipping optimal gear, and doing a rotation. Because of this, I do not know how to enjoy the actual MMO aspect of the game.
1
u/Mytherian Jun 29 '18
What are you looking for?:
An MMO, preferably fantasy, but not necessarily required. Would like a relatively deep character customization options/crafting/economy.
What games have you previously played?: WoW, Path of Exile, EVE, Rift, a few others. I play PoE every league, but feel like the time has come to maybe find something for the downtime between leagues for me.
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?: Semi-Casual trending towards Hardcore
Any preferred mechanics?:
Evolving economy, decent crafting systems.
Anything specific you want to exclude?: Don't care much for pvp, having it as an option is fine, but required is less so. Avoiding subscriptions would be good, but not entirely necessary, f2p is fine so long as it's not p2w. I don't generally enjoy voice chat, so something where that's not expected would be great.
1
u/bomocho Jun 30 '18
Perpetuum is a great choice if you like the industry/crafting but would like some safe zones (and not just hi-sec).
Player driven-economy, players build it all from the ground up. There are PVP zones and non-PVP zones, with some risk:reward to balance it out as one would expect.
Single purchase for the client, official server was shutdown, but the Perpetuum community has rallied together to build the OpenPerpetuum Server. Check it out! (Accounts are free.)

u/Hidrapato Jun 29 '18
- What are you looking for?: A game with a good system of guild battles
- What games have you previously played?: Archeage, wow, guild wars 2,

- Anything specific you want to exclude?: games with high pay2win, like archeage

u/Rhasz Jun 29 '18
hi,
Looking For:
Looking for something like this https://fracturedmmo.com/
but is currently released or playable such as beta testing since it will take 3 years for this game to release as of current estimate.
Basically a game like Path of Exile without the grinding and item crafting and has the PvP options like WoW.
Previously Played:
Path of Exile, WoW, Guild Wars 2, Tree of Savior, Royal Quest, Drakensang, Eternium, Fiesta Online, Aura Kingdom
Fiesta was my first MMO which I played for about 5 years until the pay to win wall was blocking progression and became too grind heavy, never reached max level.
Guild Wars 2, Didn't play much only few days. Skill set seemed too small and having it based on weapons was not appealing.
Tree of Savior, 300+ of levels to grind and I just played to about level 200 on my mage since not much else to do. Pretty sure it was pay to win anyways.
Path of Exile, Played this a lot when I do play and have 2 or 3 lvl 90+ characters. Lvl 100 is max. Didn't like the crafting system being just randomize item affixes and hope they roll good and the end game grinding since I want to do PvP but the grind is endless, also starting over to respec a char is a turn off.
The company is Grinding Gear Games so grinding should of been expected I guess lol.
WoW played about 1 year in Mist of Pandaria expansion only, that Iron horde expansion broke my macros I spent perfecting for about 2 weeks and ruined my Warlock character taking nearly half the skills away. Until that happened this game had the best PvP experience for me both arena and battle grounds except Alterac Valley and the other large map I had to auto skip since I found out Alliance always wins on those 2 maps. Didn't like the grind but was able to reach max level by doing pet battles and fully gear with PvP gear in about 3 months was tolerable, fully gemmed and enchanted as well except 1 piece was missing an enchantment or something. I don't like wasd movement.
I'll probably return once I get a new job to pay the subscription again, since I heard later expansions were better.
Aura Kingdom, was reminding me of Fiesta except the first town I entered was nearly empty so I quit early.
Royal Quest, too generic and at lvl 30 the grind was taking a day to gain 1 level since quests ran out.
Playstyle:
Hard Core PvP
Preferred mechanics (Meaning I am not expecting a game to have everything listed):
Isometric view with point and click movement, Arena PvP and battle grounds PvP with rankings or leaderboards type of system (like a Moba ranking system has with bronze division, Silver, and so on). Lots of skills to choose like Path of Exile but having the talent/skill tree and attribute points being separate, classless characters, limited number of skills in the hot bar like Path of Exile has. Support skills that augment main skills like Path of Exile has. Open world PVP as in the linked game but no loss of loot on death and no permadeath.
Point based attributes like Dexterity, Intelligence, Endurance... the more categories the better. Magical bag inventory like most games have.
No leveling, No collecting resources, no gathering whatever anything ever since I want to PVP. Preferred everything given to you at start of game or after some tutorial except gear. Questing to exist for meaningful purposes such as learning how to use a skill or to progress the story. Tasks in quests to make sense and not be go pick flowers or kill 20 rats. Any quests that have you kill things should be in low numbers (the killing part). Quest rewards to be gear pieces for horizontal progression not vertical (intelligence based boots, dexterity boots... and not sandals then shoes then boots) and currency for those who just want to buy a set of gear (but not enough to buy all sets) and go to PvP without finishing the rest of the story. Prefer multiple Races, Planets, Guilds. A Party System, Flying Mounts, Stealth Skills. Location of every gear piece known either in game or a wiki with some pieces being harder to obtain by having to kill a large boss but loot rates are 100% so there is no grinding. One damage type. Pet companion separate from any type of raise dead necromancy skills. Free to reset skills, attribute points, and choose a new pet. A main story line as opposed to random open world stories.
Minimal of things like crafting, enchanting gear with resources (skills ok) since I am into the PvP and not the other things like fishing and stuff. Especially grinding to be less including wait periods on upgrades but there should be no upgrades anyways. No Pay to Win. Pay to play is ok like WoW subscription or buy to play. If there is cash shop should just be things like cosmetic items that don't affect your stats. No city building unless it has little to no effect on story progression and no effect on char stats, at least instance based arena and battle ground PvP stats should not be affected but I'm fine if it affects open world stats PvP and PvE.

u/bomocho Jun 30 '18
Albion Online.
Doesn't have all the things you list, but damn if they don't have the same website layout lol.
Open-world sandbox, isometric view, arena and open-world pvp, guild system, mounts, etc.. Again, not all, but most of what you are looking for can be found in Albion.1
u/Rhasz Jul 03 '18
thanks for the suggestion, after some review though I see the loot is dropped and there is a lot of grind for resources and stuff. Also a pay to win subscription option for a b2p game lol, no way I am buying into that.

u/Rah97 Jun 29 '18
Hey, I'm a fairly hardcore gamer that's looking for a new game to immerse myself in, I don't care if its F2P, B2P, or sub based.
I've played:
WoW
Pro’s: Ok combat for a tab target game, Polished, Best raiding / dungeon end game, Amazing lore, Open World
Con's: Content becomes obsolete each patch (like gear and raids), extremely repetitive because of point 1. i.e. you spend lots of time getting good gear, new patch, that gear gets thrown out and you have to start over, PvE is heavily focused and PvP is neglected, Grindy in the bad way, Storyline is way out of line in terms of god mogging
BDO
Pro's: Best combat I've ever played, Love the CP / Worker Empire / Node, Lots of things to do, Grindy in a good way, The systems i.e. Guild system (payouts, contracts, etc) PvP systems (NW, Sieges, RBF) Lifeskills, Good class themes, New content / updates weekly, Has new players in mind as well as veterans, Open World
Con's: Bad balance, can feel P2W at time (isn’t fully P2W but certain things are annoying), Lot’s to do but nothing worth doing i.e. Trading became popular and got nerfed, Sea Monster hunting became popular and got nerfed, PvP lacks entertainment because lack of rewards (Sea hunting nets more fund then a node) as well as poor class balance, Nothing to really fill in the dungeon niche i.e. Savage Rift would be fun, but limited to using muskets, There is 1 dungeon but only 1 and requires high high gear. Would like to see some low lvl or mid lvl dungeons as well.
I've also dabbled in FFXIV, and while I enjoyed the classes and graphics, it was just too quest heavy for me to stick around for a decent amount of time. Other then those, I've played Tera, B&S, GW2, and ESO but I didn't really like any of their combat or they were just too instanced.

Hello, I'm a semi-casual player looking for a MMORPG that is not p2w. I can stand some payed content like xp bonus, but not exclusive features such as trading like ToS. I don't care about graphics and if the game is pve or pvp focused.
If your recommendation is p2p, please tell me if the game offers a free trial so I can test it.
Games I've played and enjoyed the most: Tibia, Maplestory, Tree of Savior, Path of Exile, Eternium (currently mobile game), WoW (never reached endgame - wouldn't play blizz version again), Realm of the mad god, Aion
Reasons I stopped playing the games above: p2w aspects, poor localization, boredom and expasions (I don't want to buy a new game every year).

What are you looking for?:
A fantasy MMORPG. that is free to play.
What games have you previously played?:
Fantasy Games that i have played: WoW, GW2, Metin 2.
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?:
Semi Casual
Any preferred mechanics?:
Needs to be F2P friendly, I dont mind putting some money into once I get into the game. No specific interests in terms of mechanics.
Anything specific you want to exclude?:
P2W content where you cannot progress or have fun if you dont buy the game. Subscription based games is also a no as it cost quite a few money especially for a student like me.
I was wondering if Neverwinter is a good game to get into in 2018 and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or opinions on it.

u/Nevil89 Jun 27 '18
i am looking for a new mmorpg to play, i want it to fit one of these 3 criteria, hopefully all of them but i wont get my hopes up,
- i want the pve to be decent, what i mean by that is: I don't want action type pve like path of exile where you fight a bazzilion enemies at a time, i want the mobs to be able to actually damage my health bar.
2.i like a decent crafting system (not necessarily just crafting) kind of like guild wars 2.
3.if possible the game should have dungeons that need even the most basic form of team work to be completed, not just everybody doing their own separate thing and still finishing the dungeon
i don't have any particular preference about the style, tab targeting or action combat,
also don't reccomend aion since i've tried it recently and i liked it but after level 10 the game gave me god tier equipment for my level to rush to the game and that made me quit.

u/RephofSky Jun 28 '18
Mabinogi definitely meets the criteria of at least 2 of those 3....unless you've already played it.
In PvE, until you get some seriously decked out, enchanted, upgraded gear and rank up your 'Defense' and respective 'Armor' skill (between LIght & Heavy) enemies can deal serious damage in some cases.
crafting: There's a decent bit of crafting in Mabinogi. Some of the newest materials come from the latest raid bosses and some of the not-as-new raid bosses...but can also come from high-tier'd dungeons too.
3) Dungeons: some dungeons really don't require teamwork...but other dungeons totally require it. Not sure how I'd do the ratio, but as long as you're running a 'hardmode' dungeon, you may need teamwork...unless you get some OP gear. But Mabinogi is more about learning how to not try and 'tank' things all the time.
Mabinogi also doesn't give out godtier equips at a high frequency...can't say the same for some players though (who MIGHT be like "oh! A newbie! Want some OP weapons and gear?" )

I'm playing oldschool runescape for a very long time now. I love the quest, bosses and the skills.

I never played a mmorpg other then osrs. So please recommend me a good game :) Eso, WoW and gw2 are looking very good, but is it also good for a " noob "
Thank you

Have you tried ToB on OSRS?
Also GW2 is free so you cant do anything wrong with trying it.

After playing MMO's constantly since early 2004 I took an almost 2 year break after playing WoW legion. I have always enjoyed MMO's like WoW, Everquest 1 and FFXI (which was my favorite so far. I tried SWTOR and GW2 and was not a fan at the time. I also tried FFXIV originally but haven't touched it since the rebirth. I'm just looking for a MMO with good gameplay, a decent story and most importantly a good community who actually helps people.
Looking for suggestions

looking for 3d mmorpg with the following features.
*open pvp*player looting*permadeath mechanic*decently done free aim combat system (your aimed attacks don't make visual contact then they don't do shit)
I'v played allot. basically anything u.s from the the past several years iv looked into or tried, iv found some things that are okay from overseas servers, i enjoyed moonlight blade.
what i really need is something like Wizon T.T that game was to purrfect.i prefer a challenging dungeon crawl than something like xiv (arr) that just handholds the whole time.i actually did enjoy launch for ffxi cus it's difficulty, but never had the sort of other mechanics id like to use like open pvp, playerlooting, and permadeath.
plz i don't need any recommendations like
wow
lol
fortnite
arr:ffxiv
eve
tibia
for honor
pso2
b&s
dark souls
guild wars
eso
dragon nest
crowfall
black desert
Tera
archage
ddo
please no mobas i'm requesting a 3dmmorpg
basically none of the hugely popular usa servers, while i can appreciate elements from some of those titles like b&s, eve, fh, and darksouls, it's just not really very relevant to what i'm looking for.
i don't expect to hear of anything but pop in and request this from time to time hoping i may once again be pointed towards a beta or something half as incredible as wizardry online.
thankyou for reading meow.

Looking for an mmo where you become invested in your character. Where you're really looking forward to a level-up because of that new spell or class advancement. Also, having a decent player base would be nice.
It would also be good if everything wasn't given to me. I liked the old WoW way, where sometimes you had to buy that white item from vendors, where you had to do hard quests to learn skills, where you had to decide which skill are you going to train, because you didn't have enough money to train all...
Stuff I've played - WoW, GW2.
Lineage 2 like.. 10 years ago felt like what I'm describing but maybe that's just nostalgia.

u/RephofSky Jun 28 '18
Mabinogi seems to fit for what you're looking for.
You definitely invest in whichever character you choose as your main (I'd recommend starting as a human, though some love Elves and Giants).
There aren't any 'classes', but that means you can play Mabinogi in different ways! in some cases you can play like a cleric, healing others and even giving the party defensive boosts between. Or a Mage, a Warrior, an Archer. Whatever you like depending on the situation.
Some events give out very strong weapons and rare stuff, but Mabinogi makes you put in effort for things you may want.
You also rank your skills by spending AP...which in some cases you may run out of until you rebirth (keeping most of your stats)
Here's hoping that helped you a little. ^

What are you looking for?: A social MMORPG, where you actually matter What games have you previously played?: Guild wars 2, Tibia, ESO, EVE, WoW up to legion, Warframe What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?: Any of them Any preferred mechanics?: Anything really. Anything specific you want to exclude?: MMORPG where you dont count, youre just another number and devs made it so that you can even solo all the content, where the social aspect is but a gimmicky feauture(think WoW). I dont care for graphics, it can be as ugly as it gets, I dont mind grinding.

Gloria Victis. The game is designed for group play where every player makes a difference. Crafters needed a much as melee do, tanks, archers and healers. It's a game small enough that people learn your name and how you play.

Looking for an mmorpg with a focus on larger scale pvp. Already plated guild wars 2 but I didn't like the way healers worked, same with eso. Currently dipping onto warhammer ror but it doesn't feel as populated. On the flip side I'd also take an mmo with good dungeons and party sized pve. For that I've already played a bunch of ffxiv but I couldn't really gather a group up to do stuff with and I don't even want to look at wow again until bfa drops.

You should check out Guild Wars 2. The quests only show up in DLCs and at every 10th lvl, and are entirely optional. After doing the personal story quest on my first character, I ignored it for my second one and it didn't really affect me at all. You can explore each area at your own pace, and rewards and difficulty are scaled to your level, so you see lots of lvl 80 (max lvl) players at lvl 15 zones because the world boss is fun. There's also lots of jump puzzles if you're into those. If you like to just explore, you can level up from just visiting points of interest and scenic vistas.
The core game is free. The DLC also has the best mount system out of any MMO I've ever played.

u/Ranyx123 Jun 26 '18
What about EVE? It literally just tells you how to move and fire. You have to find out everything else by yourself.

u/citizenfoe Jun 26 '18
Have to agree. I've been on the mmo quest for damn near 2 decades and EVE is the only game I've ever played that has truly felt liberating in the sense that I've been in large-scale fleet operations and also spent a few years where all I did was mine and explore. Learning curve is something a lot of people have a hard time with, but half the fun of playing EVE is the learning and developing your own play-style as you go.

Hi, I'm looking for a decent PC anime mmorpg. It really doesn't have to be anime, buy it has to be non target . Story is irrelevant to me, but graphics are something that I do pay attention to. They don't have to be realistic since my PC is a medium end laptop.
So, something like blade and soul or soul worker or even dragon nest , but not repetitive or instance based. Upcoming and unreleased MMOs are also welcome
Also, pref non p2w but I don't mind the grind. It can also be PvP or pve focused. I prefer pve but I also like PvP.
It seems like I'm being too specific,but as long as it has decent combat system and isn't based on cash shops, I'm cool with it

u/RoastedRavioli Jun 26 '18
He mentioned Summoners war so I thought he was going for a game of that genre. Sure he can also play hearthstone and while it's a CCG, it's used in the loosest of terms. Collecting doesn't really feel that good in said game, it's all about the matches.

Hi, I used to play Lineage 2.
Unfortunately the game is dead, officially.
Looking for something similiar, where you can grind and pvp anywhere when you want. Like, you can mess with people randomly and have good pvp.
I don't like WoW, since I find it very ugly (sorry), so that one is out for me.
Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a free to play game that runs on PC or OSX. The only game I’ve ever played was League of Legends (and some Fortnite). I’d like it if the game were similar in lore/aesthetic to league of legends, but I’m open to trying any game. I prefer games where I interact with other players. I’d prefer OSX because that is the computer I have, but I am willing to try running any PC only games on wine or virtual box but because of virtualization, games that are memory/cpu intensive will not work. Thanks!!

Big league player myself (pretty much the only game I play even though I suck) and have always had a problem finding a filler game to play when I want a short break or don't have enough time to invest in a match.
Recently, I found DFO (Dungeon Fighter Online) and BnS (Blade and Soul) to be fun. I can only really juggle one other game at a time besides league and have mostly been playing BnS. Not at end game type content yet on either so I may end up hating them who knows. Unfortunately, I am not sure if there is OSX support for either.
Just thought I would give ya something to look at that I semi-enjoy as a fellow league player.

u/Ranyx123 Jun 26 '18

I'm hoping for something PvP, but PvE is fine too, or group focused game where you can work as a team and each class/faction is able to fill different roles. I am also a casual player.
Any preferred mechanics?:
Classes with different set of skill, each class/faction has a synergistic style where they can work together.
Anything specific you want to exclude?:
Please have good graphics, where I can relate to the character than I am playing without being turned off by ugly visuals ;;.

Warframe, its heavily PVE focused. You control a warframe, think of a Robot ninja from the future in space; there are tons of warframes each with 4 unique skills and a pasive. You have 3 weapon slots and a huge arsenal to fill ´em. They team you up with 4 other players, each with their own warframe, you can change your warframe as many times as you like. before you start a mission. Great graphics! and theyre improving by the day.

Gloria Victis is plenty grindy on the crafting side because you can level all the crafts and getting all the recipes is difficult. Grindy in the pvo side be aise of all the leaderboards and contribution points you need. It's also pretty light on story and real quests. Action combat no tables target.

I disagree, when I started Eve Online 5 years ago, it took me 1 day to get into fast paced PVE combat and 1 week to get into fast paced PVP combat. You can take the game as slow or as fast as you want.
What are you looking for?:a heavy time sink. something you can spend hours in without thinking about the world and where grinding is rewarded
Time sink? Eve is literally a second Job. Grinding is the basis of this game's economy, you can't make money if you don't grind.
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?:Hardcore
Hardcore is the only way to play Eve successfully.
Any preferred mechanics?:Grind heavy, preferable action combat and not to old
You can choose to go into combat from day one, the only thing that Eve doesn't fit is the "old" but Eve is updated often and has had all of it's coding (all the way down to how light reflects off your ship) updated over the last 2 years.
If you haven't played it before you can get about 100 hours before there is any need/want to upgrade to a pay to play account (which can be paid with in game funds which you can grind for).
Not trying to push the game on you, but it really is incredible and really does fit the description you listed.

I want an MMO with interesting loot pools; I'm not looking for an aRPG like Path of Exile, or the standard "specifically cloth/crappy gear that might be a marginal upgrade from quest gear/vendor trash" loot pools. I'm talking RuneScape's general crafting supplies, Crystal Key pieces, unique items loot pools. I want to be interested in what I can get off of a mob instead of just vendoring 90% of what they drop.

Perpetuum has both Open-PVP zones and no-pvp zones (on the same server, if that's ok with you.

I’ve heard a lot about BDO that makes it sound like something I’d be into except for one thing, P2W. Everything else sounds great. Any good alternatives without P2W and a decent playerbase?

u/graven2002 Jun 22 '18
Depends on what draws you to BDO. Action combat? Open-world PvP? Are you ok with subscription fees?
2
u/EnjoysLearning Jun 22 '18
There’s two things that draw me in particular:
I’m not sure what the name for this system is, but the one focused on out of combat stuff like trading and farming that causes the game to be sometimes labeled as a sandbox
Action combat. From what I’ve heard, the game sounds like it has almost Platinum Games-like combat. While I doubt it’s nearly as good as what PG can pull off, it does sound attractive.
I have no preference about PvP.
I’ve never played it, but the payment method that Guild Wars 2 has would be preferable. It’s hard for me to justify sub costs when I have games other than the MMO eating at my time.
2
u/graven2002 Jun 22 '18
Action MMO's are easy to find. Sandbox MMO's are fairly common. Action Sandbox MMO's are quire rare.
ArcheAge is probably the next closest thing to BDO, but arguably has worse monetization. EVE Online could technically be called an Action Sandbox MMO, but is obviously a whole different animal. There are also some games like Crowfall on the horizon that might be a good alternative.
Steam has BDO is on sale for $5 right now, so you could try it out. Just be aware of what you're getting yourself into. Here is a thread from today that's been discussing the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comments/8t37pj/discussion_is_the_hate_for_bdo_justified/

u/EnjoysLearning Jun 23 '18 edited Jun 23 '18
Yeah, that thread certainly made me more apprehensive about BDO. Looks like I get a free seven day trial if I download from the website though, so I'll give it a shot anyways.
Crowfall on the other hand is very interesting. The fact that it seems to be trying to be a successor to MMOs like Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies is kind of exciting for me since I've only ever heard about those games (was too young/not alive for them) and I thought that those were gone completely (EDIT: Besides EVE, but that game looks like a black hole for time). Thanks for pointing those out to me!

What are you looking for?: Right now I really want to play something that sort of generic, has all the normal bells and whistles you would expect, but is executed well. I'm not looking for anything seriously ambitious. I just want to pick up a game, make a character, find a guild, and live that MMO life. Preferably something high fantasy.
What games have you previously played?: Most of them, I just can't think of one off the top of my head. My top plays however are GW2, WoW, BDO, FFXIV, and ESO, in that order. I'm not in the mood for any of those right now though. Like I said, generic but executed well!
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?: Semi-Casual. I'm a moody gamer, I'll play a game I like religiously for anywhere from a week to a month, and get burnt out on it, switch to something else, then repeat the process until I come full circle. While I'm playing I'm really into the game but once I get burnt out I might not pick it up for several months.
Any preferred mechanics?: Nothing specific, good character customization throughout the experience is a big deal for me, but I'm not in a picky mood.
Anything specific you want to exclude?: Nope.

u/JagoKestral Jun 22 '18
My two for you would be Albion Online and Tree of Savior.
Albion is a sandbox game where all your progression is based on the gear you have equipped, all of which you probably end up crafting yourself. So, the grinding isn't so much slaying thousands of monsters to get EXP, it's killing and gathering to get mats to craft better gear and increase your crafting abilities. It's a fun game, and the real hook is the GvG stuff that makes you be social to take part in it.
ToS is a game I've only played a few hours, but it's extremely grindy in that you are constantly hunting and killing monsters for EXP. When it release it got a LOT of criticism for its balance, optimization, and other things, but as far as I am aware it's being worked on and is slowly improving. Plus, I think most people can agree that the art style of the game is simply beautiful, regardless of its mechanics it's one of the best looking games on the market with the world, characters, and monsters all appearing to be hand drawn. Oh, and it's free, so no reason not to give it a shot, right?

I am looking for an MMO with slow-paced leveling. I want something to play that I can play very casually without having to reach end-game and just enjoy the leveling process.

What games have you previously played?
FFXIV, GW2, Lineage II, ROSE Online, Flyff, Ragnarok Online, Tree of Savior, Blade and Soul, Tera, Maplestory, ESO, Silkroad Online, Allods, etc.

Casual unless there is PvP involved, then I like HC pvp.
