The old "stand there and mash out the same rotation all day" shit gets pretty boring

Tera added more active dodging/blocking mechanics but still didn't get away from the rotation mashing

Soulworker is the only one I can think of with good combat but it's more MMO-lite with some serious RNG hell in upgrading equipment

Someone make a Dark Souls MMO plz

I played Dark Souls and I honestly did not like it. Was not a fan of the gameplay. I enjoy difficult games and it was hard which I liked, but I just did not like the feel of the game.

Wildstar didn't have DS-style combat, but I did really love its combat style.

It wouldn't necessarily need to use the exact same engine >_>

The server code obviously wouldn't be based on the same stuff used in actual Souls games

If PlanetSide can have FPS combat on an MMO scale in 2004 without any worse lag than other FPS of the time, an MMORPG of today can have perfectly fine DS-like combat

No, just give us another DS-esque game that's not a MMO.

Also there was already an MMO similar to Dark Souls, though it precedes Dark Souls and came a little bit after Demon Souls

It's called Vindictus

Vindictus was also way more mechanically intensive than Dark Souls. It's probably similar to mechanically intensive as Monster Hunter and most likely took more influence from that

I still see vids about some updates, so I'm guessing it's still alive. It's been years and years since I played it as well

What was that free Korean one that came to PS4 during the summer, I forget what it was called but it didn't have true rotations

You have positionals and procs and some of them need to be used to keep a buff or debuff effect but they can proc special effects for 2-4 other moves meaning you'd want to constantly be weaving most of your move set in and out to be as effective as possible

That's what it was called. Tera.

No free boob expanding potions though and the paid ones don't last forever so I quit.
