Just play a classic tab-target one from the golden age, nothing decent has been produced in at least a decade and despite all the shit tab-target gets it has yet to be topped by alternative combat systems (at least in MMOs that utilize alternatives).

It's already too late for him, OP.

Just let him play the game. With any luck he'll realize the only fun part about it is the character creator and then he'll drop it 30 minutes later.

If there is one it's very well hidden, because I haven't found it or I'll have to lower my standards, in which case I'd rather go play something else.

I've grown the opinion that Action "mmos" would probably work better with some kind of hub world or simply go smaller numbers and do co-op with a carefully crafted world instead of just "OPEN WORLD YOU CAN GO ANYWHEEEERE (except these restricted places)" and a shitty map for the umpteenth time.

I just really want Dragon's Dogma 2 God damn it.

Black Desert looked really promising in the beginning. The world is really gorgeous from what I've played in the beta, but MMO publishers prove time and time again they can't be trusted to make a good game if their lives depended on it if it meant they could squeeze one last dime out of you before they die.

aside from the p2w factor even at release BDO was disapointing,

even if we knew what we would get. BDO was suppose to be a sandbox mmo , a " EVE ONLINE but with action gameplay and in a medieval-fantastic world"

but then it became a shitty thempark with no player interaction (not even in pve like trading) with just good look and gameplay for it (and was release as such)

and then the rest is history: it became p2w, and again, it was predictable since it was also the case in korea.

I know the promises that were made and broken even before release all too well. Them going back on the player housing was a dead giveaway. Even still I was this close to buying it because it still seemed like a good game. Real glad I didn't have the money at the time. I've honestly never seen a game burn out as fast as BDO did.

This doesn't help your friend, but the only action mmorpgs I've enjoyed were Dragon's Dogma Online and PSO2. Just tell your friend to play Tera or Vindictus until he gets bored

Tera is a great action MMORPG ruined by the game's economy. But then again all MMO economies are shit so if you are willing to accept that then Tera is probably the best because at least the gameplay is good and skill based.

At least when I played the game in its early stages it was actually possible save lot of money by skipping on defensive gear because if you were good at the game you never got hit.

I like Blade and Soul

So did I, anon.

So did I. Fuck NCSOFT or whichever South Korean kike butchered this game.

Sexiest character creator so far.

You're right about action "MMO's" being better when done smaller, but not necessarily for the reasons you stated. The biggest issue is latency and the impact is has on the realtime feedback that the player is given allowing them to play in the moment with reactions and skill. Tab targeting was such a successful system not only for attempting to bridge the gap between turn based combat and realtime combat, but in its ability to placate and compensate for the latency involved with long distance communication between client and server.

If you want truly good visceral combat then you're going to need a game set on a smaller scale. Not necessarily as small as vindictus or monster hunter, but certainly not a massive open pvp environment with 1000 players in simultaneous combat. Furthermore to facilitate a large number of players all sharing a world the easiest solution is to have peer to peer hosting take some of the strain from the main server with the main world being completely server side. Good luck attempting any sort of quality control with that setup though.

oops my bad i read wrongly i thought you e man the character design in itself instead of the

>character creatior feature

If you don't mind the effort of setting it up, play Phantasy Star Online 2. It's completely free and the latency is good despite the servers being in Japan. It's not a "true MMO," more like sci fi Monster Hunter, but it's quite fun to play and you can play it like both a tab target and a shooter.

ncsoft could have made so much more money if they kept the revealing clothing and titty jiggle

so no clue ? not even in the regard to the

>how is Guild wars 2 ? i heard he went f2p

>>13848665

GW2 is really fucking boring. Even if you never played the first this second one is trash. Skills are boring, weapons are boring, BGs are boring, meta is trash, dungeons are trash, quests are pointless boring trash. AND THERE'S NO FUCKING GUILD WARS IN A GAME CALLED GUILD WARS.

Exploring could be fun, if you're into that. Overall i don't recommend it.
