Looking for a new mmo to play

CannorCannor Member UncommonPosts: 3
in The Pub at MMORPG.COM
So me and a few friends looking for a new mmo to play, Now there is a couple of mmo that has caught my eye, but im not too sure about it due to 1)There is reports of LOADS of hackers in it 2) i cant find the much info about it

There 2 mmo i am talking about is black desert online and Riders of icarus . Im just not too sure about either one. Any advice ups or downs about each game. which would be better ?

I am more of a pve player myself but i dont mind pvp . 

Other than these 2 games, is there any others out there coming soon/just release ? that will be decent?

    For Black Desert, after 45 you are eligible to be PK'd (and to flag for PVP). But I'm like you, I PVE and to be honest I have not been PK'd. It's not the free for all gankfest some people think it is. That said, there are some hacks that allow players to bypass cooldowns. For PVP that's really bad and the company is aware of it. It has affected me... not one bit to be honest.

    I'm having a blast in Black Desert and this is far from my first rodeo.

    So how would you rate the game overall? worth it... are they sorting out the hacks. cuz ive been reading and it seems like they lost the plot and not doing anything about it? ((hence why i need an actuall player insite than reviews from certain people)) 

    also on your post you said, "it has affected me.... not one bit to be honest" was that suppose to be it has not affected me?

    LOTRO is very very active.  At all times of day.   Can be 3 am and busy.  Could be 8 in the morning and still very active.  I run characters on both Landroval and Brandywine.  My main group of characters are on Landroval.  I play everyday.  Even if its just a day to craft.  Which I love!

    It's pretty fun, and the f2p is quite friendly so you can jump in and check for yourself. Wouldn't say it's awful, true it isn't one of my main games either (more of a time issue, I really like the housing there, and a few of the classes are great)

    :waving:  Now that the Anniversary is over I'm planning to focus more on TSW, at least until the Spring festival kicks in. In the meantime you can keep up the LotRO posts in here :wink:

    Speaking of Landy, on a second thought I may hop in the weekend, there will be the 2016 Spring Racing Carnival, love that event. edit:  https://youtu.be/kFECBO9vEDo

    The hackers might be still running wild but I'm saying, to this point (I've been playing since launch and I'm 50 now) it has not directly affected me. It depends what you're doing. I think if you PvP a lot, yes it's a huge problem. I'm very much hoping Pearl Abyss sorts it out. That's my experience though, and since this game has so much to do (you can level to 50 and never fight... trading for example), my experiences might not be yours.

    How would I rate it? I haven't played anything else since it launched. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It has issues, but FOR ME, those issues have not affected me. I'm just as involved as anyone in gearing up, but I haven't even had a PK attempt on me yet.

    Issues aside, there's a very large paradigm shift from what you might be used to, which I actually kind of like; you don't gain combat experience from quests (some you do but not enough to use quests to level up) but you get contribution points or other kinds of life xp depending on the quest.  You get combat xp from killing. This is the sandbox-ish element, you could never bother doing quests, except for the fact that some give inventory slots, and a lot of them are geared towards teaching the systems. The end result here is I do end up doing quests when I feel like it. Or I do something else. I built a boat, I fish, I climbed a mountain because it was there (climbed. not running uphill) Last night my guildmates and I did some boss scrolls and some harder quests together, did a lot of fooling around and having fun. The rails are off, I do what I please, and that is what I like about this game.

    TLDR; It has issues. They don't affect me as much as others. I'm having the most fun I've ever had in an MMO. you can get off the roller coaster any time and explore the sandbox. I recommend it, but I understand that it's a commitment having to buy the game up front.

    I'm having fun with GW2 and ESO.  I mostly PvE.
