MMO version of the witcher..

Lord.Bachus

now dont shoot before you heared me..

i am not talking about a traditional MMO game, but more about a game like the orriginal GW..
with all the single player content of the current Witcher 3 game..
but also with open world zones, more like GW2 Where things hapen..
COOP zones... like dungeons and all kind of stuff
Several PvP options..

so what makes the Witcher the best RPG ever?
- Good challenging combat (atleast when not ridiculously overpowered)
- story and characters, it feels like a real world, really makes you feel the maincharacter of a movie
- erotic content, its a part of life, so why not a game that adds it in an acceptable way
- lots of freedom how to build your character
- a gorgeous open world


If they can create a gameworld that adds new content every 2 months, they would definately have my vote, the stuff these guys from Poland have created thus far is incredible...

Since it was one of most frustrating game I've play with regards to character movement and combat.  Maybe it would feel better to me as an MMO since they would have to rework the terrible combat and movement in the process.

Garret turned like a battleship with a broken rudder and lurped around like a drunk in a bar room fight taking two extra steps every time he moved.  Horrible console mechanics.

Strange as the movement and the combat in the Witcher are generic for the action combat games. With one exclusion - Elder Scrolls, where the combat system is actually terrible.

Not strange at all ( Mr passive / aggressive )  from the perspective of a PC gamer, but anyone who grew up with a console controller in their hand would feel right at home with that movement, it's straight from console not PC.  The original Witcher ( a PC only game ) borrowed heavily from console movement but it wasn't nearly as floaty and loose, combat was much tighter and more responsive.

In addition no it doesnt play like "every other 3rd person action combat game"  not even close, that's a grotesque generalization of game mechanics.

And saying the combat in Elder Scrolls is "terrible" just shows that you did in fact grow up with a console controller in your hand., not trying to be rude its just a fact that I'm sure of.

Feel this is the same road we went down with ESO. Sounds great, but can be a ball ache to achieve the same feel and gameplay as the single player game.

If their can only be one Witcher per server, can I be it

Panther2103

This would work if the story content was all instanced. Which kind of takes away from the MMO portion. And the fact that everyone would just be witchers running around, the story itself would be kind of ruined. But with those aside the world and character building of that series would be AMAZING for an online game if it was done properly.

I miss GW1.  You had the economy of the entire world in the cites or outposts.  And the wild in the wild.  Honestly think it was my favorite MMORPG.   /wink.   Seriously though, one of my top 3,.

MMORPG's are cancerous and usually end up destroying whatever IP they are derived from.

Dakeru

They would have to censor a lot to be available to the broad mass which would already change the style.
And I dare to say that the appeal of the Witcher games is more the story than the combat.

No MMO without the Polish *pun intended

Actually, when you look at GW1, the answer is quite simple, sepperate single player and multiplayer totally....  

when you disect GW1, you will see that there are single player zones, Open world zones, PvP zomes and so on....

in the end to get that witcher feeling, the game would be more like singleplayer(as in witcher 3 with same huge story and quest based zones) with added open world PvE (zones like in GW2, with events happening all over). PvE instances for groups and raids( i.e. Dungeons). With some PvP on top of that in seperate area's..   the whole idea is to keep these zones totally seperated...  And still give players the feel of an open world like in the witcher 3 (which also isnt seemless)


where this game would be different from other MMO's is the fact that there would be huge solo zones.. maybe with an option to play trough them together with a friend or two..

I agree with Blue Cyperpunk is what I am looking forward to with eagerness and I'm hoping they pour all their resources into that one. 

Lobotomist

You know we need any kind of normal MMO. Could be Archie online for crying out loud.

Seeing it takes around 6 years to make MMO. Even if CDR take your recomendation we would see this MMO in year 2023 earliest.

I grew up with bulletin boards as the only internet. I owned a mmx penitium 2. Elder scrolls combat is horrid. If you mod it with a bunch of stuff It gets alright, but all stock elder scrolls have horrid combat. Such as skyrim, and you run around with 5000 arrows sticking out of your face.

Not interested. I don't want the devs to put prewritten stories in MMORPGs.

I want tools that let the players create and be the stories.

It's the difference between watching a movie about someone climbing a mountain in real life vs actually climbing the mountain yourself.

Totally different experiences.

I prefer the witcher series as a single player experience similar to how I prefer the elder scrolls as a single player experience.  Dark Souls might fit the mold of an old school MMO though.

time007

we may get to see that in 2030.  it'll take a couple more single player ones, for them to even try that, then like 10 years to develop it hahah. 

Thoth_Moshe

I want a bloodborne or dark souls mmo, no mini map or any kind of map and you dont have a clue what some items do until you try them.  Maybe Capcoms Deep Down will be something like that.

Maurgrim

The Witcher Online in 2025, you heard it here first.

Vermillion_Raventhal

I found Witcher 3 unplayable controller or keyboard. The combat was just annoying to me.

I am not sure what's the point in having single player questing MMO. Just create a single player game with multiplayer dungeons and raids.

You know what is also a part of life except sex (which is not a part of life for every one, you know)? Daily hygiene, or pooping, why don't add that to the game? Oh, wait, cause, that would be the sims. So why almost every single game has erotic scenes nowadays?

Most MMO's play like RPG's nowadays.  So it would be no different from what other MMO's do.  Nothing wrong with having multiple witchers as most MMO's also have heroes running around all over the place.  And in witcher lore there wasn't just one.  So you don't play as the main character in the RPG's but as a witcher you create and travel around doing what witchers do.

Probably because in some people it produces an emotional response.  I think it's fun to see as long as it isn't romance, but that is generally what it ends up being these days.

I'd much rather have an MMORPG that takes the world interaction, combat, AI and weather systems etc. etc. from Zelda BotW than the graphics, lore and story telling of the Witcher.

Don't get me wrong I loved the Witcher series

Star_King39

While I like the Witcher style world, I don't think it will happen. There are already mmo's out there that have humans, elves, dwarves, etc... It would basically be like copying and pasting an already existing MMO but setting it in the Witcher world. They would need a really strong reason to throw something together like that.

Xasapis

Witchers are like the Jedi's of the setting. While everyone would be enough, it would be very hard to make a game around having that many. Perhaps they can pull a SW:TOR and set it in the age before the various schools declined and the monsters were more abundant around the world.
