[trueoathbreaker]

Im watching a video on mmos and i wanted to talk about my experiences with the genre for the past like 2 decades

I first got into mmos with toontown back when it was all over tv

My parents paid for an account for me and my sibling to share and my dad had his own account

I played a whole bunch of toontown but i avoided a lot of things....i was barely in double digits....stuff like cog buildings and the factory (back when there was like...1) scared me...heck i still tend to avoid them when i go back to ttr (and bc i have zero social skills so i suffer in solo)

My first TRUE mmo was maplestory....i never got far tho i leveled up a few times and got to like the elf area and had someone try to trade me but again i was just a confused 11 year old at the time....idk how mmos work! I still played them!

Theres a bunch of mmos id get into during middle school and into hs but never for too long....i was like a grandma with a cell phone....idk what im doing im just hitting things and running around the first area

I have a friend who id play some of these with back then but even then i didnt know what i was doing

At this point in my life and its only been 28 years of being alive....most of these memories are fuzzy...

I remember always being magic classes until i got one with a gunner...i thought wow thats cool!

My friend always did way more in these games than i did....

And then there was one particular mmo....i had gotten into with a different friend in hs....

Tera

Now my first jump into tera was short lived (in 2013) bc i had a laptop not made to play such a demanding game and i barely saw past lumbertown for years. I shelved tera and had a small burst of playing mmos during this time from new to old

For....whatever reason i dont remember

My previous friend got me to hop back into tera in 2015

And that

Was the start of my true mmo years

Every other mmo i clueless played barely getting anywhere for a few months to playing talesrunner a few times to whatever mmo i wanted to try that gave me a virus once and i very shakily saved my computer from it (probably)

Didnt matter

Here we are back in tera 2 years later and its all different and would only get more different the more i played....i deleted the like 3 characters i had barely used bc their names were trash and i made a new archer named deed

And we had a blast (and i had a third friend join us for some time but we dont talk about him anymore ok ok)

I dont remember how or when

But i had found an mmo coming soon with a closed beta upcoming

Blade and soul

My first time playing blade and soul.....was awful

I was on yet another laptop that could not handle the game....i gave up at the first world boss area bc i had worn the pvp outfit not knowing it was a pvp outfit (whoops) and was basically stun locked into death by strangers bc my poor computer was too slow to handle it

Despite that i bought the founders pack and walked back into the earthern realm with my blade dancer magmia

Who i promptly disgarded to play with my friend on iksnanun

And seeliewood was born

And the rest they say

Is mostly recorded on this blog for your viewing pleasure

Blade and soul to this day is still one of the best experiences ive had in an mmo despite it all despite the games jank despite it taking me months to actually DO non story content bc i had new friends who dragged me with them besides doing the first two dungeons over ans over bc i was a scared baby of 20something despite the absolutely wild people ive met and friendships lost and stupid things ive said and done and times i got my butt kicked by mushin

Its about my friends still letting me try the scary raid with them after i have an embarrassing meltdown down in front of them and a bunch of strangers

Its sitting down for hours in a dungeon just to talk bc no one is gonna yell at us to get out

Its watching a whole raid stop and watch a rare item vanish bc one of u thinks its the ugliest outfit in the world and she paid us to throw it out

Its roping people in to farm pirate princess or black ice for months until they finally drop

Its not about reaching the best gear to do the newest raid that kills you for looking at it funny

Its about a game that introduced me to my gf @shironuri

And while i have had a lot of other mmos following some lasting longer than others including a third return to tera

Most are short lived

I don't stay as hooked on some mmos or i fall back into my rapid pick up and put down way of playing games in general

Many mmos are shutting down or mobile only or have specs past my nearly 10 year old pc that i do not have the money to replace

I'm back to staying away from socializing and many of my friends have moved on or have no time for these games anymore (or they're all in ff14 which i technically own but.... you know)

So many mmos i played only a few years ago are just gone or out of my computers power to play (id love to try and get pso2 to work again but i only played on jp and that takes a HUGE amount of time to set back up)

On that note i realize there's a lot of games i play that should go on this blog but i just haven't

Like other social sims

Yall want my vrchat screens??? Eh probably not theres like 2 active followers yall probably see this on my main enough

[novasiri]

New Age has me playing Maplestory a lot lately.. and I have such a horribly strong muse for Ark right now, especially since I made him my boss mule on Hyperion.

The downside is there's next to zero RP community for the game.. AAA-

Sorry about the lack of posting guys, I just haven't had any more to say about my Cyrus And Cynthia Are N's Parents Theory for a while. I'll be happy to answer any asks about it though! I've been playing a lot of Maplestory lately, besides Pokémas, so I've been really caught up in that. Also I've been working.

About Maplestory, I am currently running a guild on Reboot called Termination! If you play Maplestory and have a level 200+ main on Reboot, feel free to join!

Also since we're here anyway, Will had a complete glow DOWN (right is old sprite, left is his new sprite)?? Like he looked so much more unassuming in Zero's storyline versus Esfera, which makes his transition into the spider monster he is more unsettling in that storyline. Idc if he looks more "conventionally attractive" I EXPECT Esfera Will to be a dick!! I didn't expect Zero Will to be one!! Give him back his old appearance Nexon you cowards!!

⭐ !

ask game

alpha from the pair zero in maplestory specifically

[temporaldischarge]

many people associate zeroes songs with amvs. i was never big into amvs though, so instead my big yt childhood song association is a maplestory guide with breaking benjamin songs...

today osu showed me until the end again and I immediately had to go rewatch this 12 year old yt video with 5 fps because this video is just lodged into my brain and i have such good memories of doing this party quest <3

[kaiserouo]

I think to most people im still a kinderguardian but i wanna give my 2 cents

This game is a 3D FPS MMORPG with PVE and PVP. Like, how is this possible?????

3D (making maps and outfits and enemies and everything take significant more effort than e.g., 2D games like maplestory)

FPS (first player means they can't just bullshit their models because people will inspect the shit out of them by simply playing the game and stick their faces on the wall, and they can't just justify and make simple textures like ultrakill. also online shooter game balancing)

MMO (go do all those work in a continuous update schedule, there's literally no end to this until bungie fucks up the game too much)

RPG (tell me how much unique pieces of armor there is in the game)

PVE and PVP (balancing one aspect is annoying enough and they have to do both AND the fact that the same set of weapon / skills exists in both modes so have fun including that to your consideration)

This game should've been ditched on paper. Why are they making money? Why is this game still alive? I can't come up with a game that deals with this much complexity and lives 2 digit years (maybe warframe but i have absolutely zero knowledge about that game so not gonna discuss that here).

With this context a lot of decisions bungie made can be justified, albeit very very annoying (yes im talking about content vault). I think people are complaining because they didn't get enough excitement when an update arrives, and those excitement often come from...well, the things op mentioned. But that's what you'd feel when you play a game for years. If you really don't feel anything about this game anymore then just delete the game. You don't need those titles and achievements, you can get new meta weapons when you come back. Just leave and touch some grass and do something new. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I don't know. I just felt nonsense when i saw those complaints on the web. Maybe it's just that i haven't stayed long enough to feel that but yeah. Glad im enjoying this game when it's still alive.

God this community is so fucking split.

I feel bad for everyone that just wants to enjoy Destiny or wants to get into destiny, everywhere you go it's people complaining about metas, asking for things to come back and immediately 180 into hating the devs for bringing things back, complaining about not getting anything new yet every time something new comes out it's an immediate "this is shit" or spamming "RECYCLED CONTENT" when it's just too similar to something else, begging for more pvp content then getting salty when we get it

This community just needs to stop. It needs to stop entirely.

Gambit is fun, it just doesn't get the care it deserves because you lot insist on more crucible content

Why do you even need more crucible content? We don't need 50 modes and 100 maps, crucible is about killing the other team and doing objectives before the enemy team does. The maps don't fucking matter anymore. There's already plenty of them and you've just gotten three more. Fuck off.

Stop with immediately discarding everything that isn't a perfect meta. Plenty of weapons are just fine, stop whining about not getting a new weapon with all your favorite metas, because what has happened is the devs ship out weapons built mainly around metas instead of niche weapons that have potential to be really neat weapons. It's why a lot of newer perks have mainly been about damage. There's no interest in synergies, or interesting perk combinations, it's all Voltshot this and Bait And Switch that. Sure, there's neat combos that end up as a meta, but we should have a sole focus on meta, as that's led to the BRAVE arsenal being designed purely around metas as we've seen from the reveals. And we all saw the craftable combinations for Whisper and Outbreak, I saw you fuckers in the chat automatically complaining about perks that weren't "good". FUCK YOU! THOSE PERKS CAN HAVE SYNERGY WITH THE EXOTIC WEAPONS, AND THEIR VARIOUS SCENARIOS! THE DEVS THEMSELVES SAID THEY WERE MEANT FOR DIFFERENT SKILL LEVELS AND PREFERENCES! More importantly, such heavy focuses on meta have led to everything being more difficult and hectic for new/casual players.

I love this game with all my heart, but without a doubt I hate the community. To the few like me who just want a game to play and enjoy, I hope the community doesn't make you want to stop playing like it has for others. Don't let them tell you what to like, don't let them decide what you should use.

Let's enjoy this game while we still can.

Maplestory, I have some constructive criticism on how this sixth job quest is going.

Seriously? After I already filled three of these damn things for this questline you drop 6 on me at once?

You very much could have dropped a zero or two to make this less of a slog.
