I mean, WoW is getting an expansion pack that actually looks interesting and kinda is reverting the series back to be Alliance vs. Horde.

FF14 is I think unquestionably a better game though.

Warframe is pretty bad imo. I tried that for about an hour and gtfo, it was just non-stop running through hallways.

ESO is very well-rounded, though the combat system leaves a bit to be desired. There is a HUGE amount of quests but after you play for a while you realize they're all about the same plot. The upside is that some quests do give you multiple choices to complete them and that can branch into different follow-on quests or different interactions with the characters in later zones. There is just so much to do in the game it's overwhelming though.

ESO ez

WoW is popamole shit these days and is awful to play.

FF14 plays like WoW, has a ton of awful quests that you won't ever give a fuck about that you must do no matter what. Also has slow as fuck combat.

GW2 is inferior to GW1 in every way.

Neverwinter is P2W dogshit.

The subscription mechanics in ESO are kinda lame though imo. Well, you do get access to most DLC (just not Summerset, not sure about Morrowind now) with a monthly sub. But the other thing is that there's a million and one types of crafting materials that eat up your bank space so either you focus on one crafting discipline the whole time or you can get an infinite-sized bag for all the mats... that feels like an F2P gimmick to me.

But it's just one aspect.

You'd be better off asking a subreddit, to be honest. GameFAQs idolizes the shit out of Japanese weeb shit so most of these kids saying GW2 and FF14 are gauging it off of how fuckable they can make their catgirls in character select. They'd probably say Tera Online if you gave the option.

Other good MMOs but really low pop:

D&D Online, LoTR Online.

ESO is literal trash so your bad opinions are already known. The combat is janky as fuck, some weird mix of Skyrim and typical MMO, the world looks like a movie set and not believable at all. I gave it another shot recently since people say it's so much better but it's still the same nonsense it was when I first tried it.

Only relevant when you're learning. Once you have skills you learn how to chain them with various others off GCD in a smooth manner. Granted it's not the same as having about 4 skills you spam constantly but it's good.

And GW2, rofl. Absolute decline game.

Pick up a weapon in GW2, see those four skills? Better like them, those are the only ones you're getting from now until the end of time. Absolutely shit character building, the hallmark of MMORPGs and RPGing in general because GW2 was made by people that have zero idea how to make a proper one.

GW2 is one of the worst games I've ever played.

And if you're going to play FF14, just go play WoW instead. As garbage as WoW has become at least it doesn't play like you're trying to survive a tidal wave.

5 actually and you can weapon swap and the classes that lack a weapon swap compensate in other ways such as Elementalists constantly jumping Elemental Attunements. Engineers have various kits you can equip with their own weapon skills.

Have you even played GW2?

TOR has a pretty decent story line arch for some of the characters (before the expansions anyway) but some of the F2P restrictions are pretty awful - but you can get around a fair few (and access to all the expansions) with just one month sub permanently I believe.

All true. Actually, I don't think you even need to sub - iirc, you just gotta buy $5 worth of stuff from the in-game store.

I mean there's ... a lot more to it than that. Plenty of dungeons, PVP is... well, "alright" but for most MMOs it's just "alright", there's a ton to unlock including customization options and furnishings for your house through achievements, and there are achievements for everything, from clearing the whole game to killing chickens and cows.]

The combat isn't the greatest like I said, but there are quite a few skills and many viable builds.

Yes Vyrulisse, I played GW2 and I dreaded every single second of it. I know it's hard for your brain to comprehend that there's those of us that like things such as character builds and making a character that can be optimal or silly fun and don't enjoy games that have bland worlds and janky tab targeting combat with barely any room to have player expression or creativity.

If you like the idea of an MMO but hate everything that makes an MMO good, GW2 is your jam. It was an awful game on release, it's an awful game today.

Apparently the devs are moronic too.

I'm not a fan of MMOs but i recently decided to give some F2Ps a try despite knowing next to nothing about any of them. Started with Tera this week. It's enjoyable enough, but GEEZ at the pervy costumes!

I bet whoever designed the outfits would fuck a rattlesnake with a festered ass, if someone held it's head.

I've been hooked on Warframe for about 2 months now. You won't find a better community in gaming. Everyone is really helpful and friendly. And the game itself is amazing. There's so much variety in terms of frames (characters) and weapons.

Plus it's free in the proper way. You can buy items with real money, but you can't equip them until you've reached the right Mastery Rank, which can only be earned by actually playing the game. So it's properly not pay-to-win. Hell, the developers actually removed a feature because it was working too well and people were spending too much real money on it.

Well I can't say that it was definitively one hour, I was just throwing a lowball figure out there because after a few missions it felt like it was going to be a repetitive experience.

No need to be condescending about it, I didn't like something that you like and I'm sharing my opinions on it...
