Why:
>every t is going to say ffxiv

mtf
favorite mmo: GW2
why: I loved the movement of the abilities, and the graphics, GW2 combat feels so much more active, fluid, and dynamic, than FF14, and WOW combat, which feel stiff to me.

wow GW2 jumpscare

GW2, havent played in a minute tho
first mmo i got into, liked the more action focused gameplay, when i tried to pick up other mmos the lack of auto attack and huge skill bars really put me off, so i stuck to it.

also i hate ffxiv cause it stole all my friends from GW2 and im not paying a fucking subscription for a game

I hate MMO's

favourite mmo: ffxiv (formerly soulworker)
why: i grew up with the ff series as a whole so i gravitated towards ffxiv at first but didn’t like it, that was pre-heavensward tho and i tried it again years later after playing more mmos and ultimately fell in love w the gameplay and universe, kind of hate the current 2min meta tho
i also love the screenshot function, but i’m disgusted by modbeasts which is why i never share my mare code or join syncshells

anyway yes obligatory ffxiv preference

it used to be maplestory, don't play mmos nowadays

>>40480239
oh also star citizen. Very immersive and detailed. More of a sim atp though

mtf does warframe count?

>>40479070
gw2 combat was fun and the legendary weapon grind was neat imo, but the story just did not hook me and the world wasn’t that interesting to me. world bosses were cool tho, wish i stuck around long enough to raid

>>40480157
pso2 jp with the ongoing english translation patch my beloved

>>40480239
yes it counts but eof has taken the game in a…weird direction since its release
new raid is cool as FUCK though

mmos are so boring

>>40480286
My level of confusion is immeasurable rn

>>40480322
tldr “prismatic” is a class that lets you use select parts of other subclasses
we also have ammo meter at bottom that shows how close you are to getting a drop of that ammo

>>40480339
what about the super meter split into 4 and the 2 bars under it

>>40480376
super meter into 4 bars? no idea, it’s probably warlock specific and i’m a shitty hunter main
the 2 bars underneath are prismatic-exclusive resource, called “light energy” and “dark energy”
you fill dark energy by doing light-element damage with anything
you fill light energy by doing dark-element damage with anything
you can enter a state called “transcendence” when both are full, giving you a 5%dmg increase, faster cooldowns, and an exclusive grenade for your chosen class

comfiest leveling grind + it's the game where getting new items and leveling up has felt the most rewarding to me + orcs.

It was my first ever online game. It just holds a very special place in my heart.

don't play mmos because they're too much of a timesink and the gameplay is always boring

The player base had riots that forced the company to cancel their pride events back in 2013 or so, and even though eventually the parent company forced these events to move forward in 2018, players managed to get them cancelled again this year. This is, for one funny, but also attests to the genuine power the players have over the direction of the game, it’s not just a meme. They vote on all major content and have since inception, they don’t force marketing or ads or crossovers or mtx, and they keep a genuine old school vibe. It’s the last place you can find a politics free game built to entertain you and not manipulate you into a purchase, ideology, or anger.

mmos are bad

wow obviously
>why
started playing after watching the south park episode in 2007 and never stopped

ffxiv msq is insanely boring i've tried like 4 times
only other mmos i've played are old web based ones like adventure quest and maplestory (not rs)

>>40480272
Yea

Forgot to say why I quit fff11

99 level cap. The balance was great at job level 75/37 subjob, game got dumb when they changed that.

>>40482887
based!

14 msq bored me too

i never liked wow tho i logged into it one time hopelessly hoping to find a girl i met on the bus coming home from miku expo concert in LA in 2014

favorite is probably WoW, the vanilla to wotlk era
for a lot of reasons, too many reasons to really put into a post
the game does so many little things right that it adds up to a game with an unmatched level of polish for the time that blizzard used to be famous for
plenty of other MMOs have specific things they do better than WoW but they never manage achieve that same consistency throughout their game that old blizzard did

>>40479038 (OP)
i mean you either play FFXIV, GW2 or, if you speak chinese or korean, DFO. It's not like there's a lot of options

What is it a out XIV that attracts so many tranners? Like I play it too but I've never seen a game with a trans population this large.

WoW from 2005-BFA, then classic wow from 2019-ulduar wotlk. I went super hard in classic, did all the raids and grinded out High Warlord in 2020. Even helped two different guildies do the AQ scepter quest to get their battletanks. I loved playing that game, at least to an extent. By the time I was in my last two honor resets for R14 I was over it however
I don't play anymore though because it's such a time sink and I have to work alot more to survive

Favorite MMO: EvE online
Why: only MMO that amounts to something more than "kill big cartoon, raise number".

Tibia, Lineage 2, WoW.
why: countless hours spent in them when I was younger and wow specifically I come back to now and again because I just love the world. I pretty much just play MMO's for the leveling experience, that's when you see the world rather than do your dailies and sit in town all day. I could never deal with the end game it feels like filler to me. To me the game is at its best when I experience it like any other RPG with the MMO part just used to help feel the world more alive and no game has a better world that I've experienced than WoW. The little ambient stories, the zones, the relative lack of loading screens. It just helped make it all feel cohesive. Especially the early days where you didn't even get a mount until you were deep in there and then it didn't come cheap. An MMO that forces you to stop and smell the roses because you're not getting anywhere in the next hour is the shit I play for. I like seeing it all. Not even the written stuff, I scroll through it, but the world itself the stories it can tell without writing them down, I love that shit, Kalimdor is gorgeous. And I may have been one of the few people that loved Cataclysm. Seeing the whole map thrust forward in time and experiencing it again with the added history was amazing, not to mention they optimized a lot of the quests to lower that headache. I think the vibe of WoW is what made it last, that blizzard polish that I guess you only get by abusing your staff, I'm not sure. But damn they did good work.

The only one I’ve played

I played Runescape up to level 7 as a kid and then Dragon's Nest for like 2 hours because it had fun combat and you could play a tiny girl. Then I never really played any MMO again.
