It's such a depressing market. I could sit and complain about this for hours. I've done it before. People are tired of me talking about it. ;_;
I just hate how whenever we get an MMO that tries to break the mold and do something new, the developers behind it pull some retard shit and fuck it up. Then the game fails and the other industry devs look at it and go "oh, well I guess people don't want [unique thing the failed game did really well] after all."
For example, tera's class synergy was really well done. Tanks, lancers specifically, had so much fun party support and felt enjoyable to play. Healing was fun too. Like, actually enjoyable. The last time I enjoyed healing in a game was when I played tera. But the devs fucked it all up by being retarded. I won't get into it, nobody wants to hear it, but I hate it when people go "yeah, tera tried action combat and look at what happened to that game!" as if the reason it failed was because it had fun combat and not because the people running it were fucking retards. BDO fell into the same issues. Here was a game with a seamless open world that had reasons to be out in it, and dozens of interconnected systems with no real stopping point so you could grind forever if you were that obsessed. But the devs chipped away at everything and ruined everything and got greedy as fuck and broke promises, so now nobody plays it.
Meanwhile, these shit games that don't take risks and barely try anything new get to keep living and collecting profits and breaking sales records. No matter how poorly dawntrail performs, its overall numbers are still relatively high when you zoom out on the chart. Game's been doing great since shb and has a long way to go before the team really enters panic mode, and they know it. I'm just so bummed out on the whole genre right now. XIv will probably be my last mmo because this genre is ass and only the wrong lessons are being learned over and over again.
