Throne and Liberty Next Gen MMOs

[Ath192]

NCSoft is really hit or miss, but there are a lot of ideas that I like in this preview that FFXIV could take a page from.

Especially I like the dynamic weather events that transform the landscapes such as certain low lying areas flooding when it rains, or different mobs spawning from the desert depending on night/day.

The graphics seem really neat as well. I do like the tab target combat that FFXIV has, so I'm not suggesting anything as radical as changing the way the game plays, this is more to point out the sort of ambiance and overworld elements that if implemented could make FFXIV an insane experience if combined with its strong story and its attention to detail.

Either way, evolution in the MMO genre is something I like to see and well this one did impress me. The only problem is I see NCSOFT as a pay to win company and that ruins it for me. So perhaps it's a take a look and hopefully get inspired by the good and leave the bad stuff out.

I will point out that these people did take a page out of XIV, they change their jobs with their weapons. So perhaps mutual learning will make them both great games.

NCSoft? As in, a Korean mmo? That pretty much says all you need to know.

as long as copyright isnt involved, game companies "borrow" pages all the time.

Blizzard was practically famous for that. ARR did that, it isnt a new thing, it just boils down to how much they can get away with

as it sits, "good stuff" is only good if implemented properly, I have seen "good things" borrowed from games that became "bad things" because the borrower saw a way to make more money from implementing it, and did it pooly

No, it does not mean that's all we need to know, there's no need to be racist and the important thing is to look at elements that other people are working on and see if any may bring improvement.

One of my favorite MMOs is a Korean game. Would even say I enjoy the world/gameplay faaar more than XIV. YMMV:3

I have no hope for any new mmos anymore after new world/lost ark

Which mmo?

Not really sure it sound much like an endless grind one with no real thing to do.

How did you get racism out of their post? Korean MMOs tend to be super grindy and pay to win with somewhat ok gameplay hidden beneath all the fat.
