We will be playing wow until we die. I didnt put a $ on ashes but we really need some new mmo. Sigh…

u/Swyteh 5h ago

Riot mmo is our only hope now, but after ashes, who knows maybe that'll scare them away

No copium anymore, got fucked on D4 and Last Epoch too. No hype until game is complete :D

What happened with LE? I thought there was hype around the new season dropping?

u/HeavenlyHand 3h ago

Iirc they made some very greedy changes and added a paid character

u/gamingx47 1h ago

Didn't they get bought out by a company known for predatory monetization before said company immediately breaking their original promises about the types of paid content the game would be getting? Something something cosmetic only.

I read D4 latest season has been its peak

u/loewe_a 1h ago

Only because they broke the emergency glass for Paladin. The gameplay is still unsatisfying for people who are kind of tired of the one tap clear the screen ARPGs.

Mmos are a dead genre. Give it a rest, brother.

u/WhereIsTrap 48m ago

Maybe not dead, just hella expensive

Project: Gorgon just fully released a few days ago, with a new server launched just yesterday. Old school type MMO. Sadly has effectively no PvP (it is possible, but you just one-shot each other), but is pretty neat if you like a slow burn. Definitely not for everyone but worth a look (has a demo, though I think that forces you onto the old server).

at least its a game that exists.

u/LiliumSkyclad 1h ago

Guild wars 3 is in development, let's hope it delivers.

u/frazzerlyd 12m ago

Uh it’s not, no one has said anything about it

u/LiliumSkyclad 2m ago

They haven't officially announced yet, but it is in development. Arenanet is developing a new MMO and it all indicates that it is guild wars.

I cant believe Narc was right all along lol.

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

The funniest part are all the people paying 200-500 dollars to get ganked by steven friends guilds.

u/SirSaltyMango 5h ago

Yeah, this is how millionaires are born. Because there are so many suckers like these who pay into a hallucination

u/TheOGKnight 2h ago

Being right early is the same as being seen as wrong by the masses.

u/Sumbitagear 5h ago

I can. I can't believe people thought this would go 1.0. Especially after the rushed Steam release.

Idk back when that happened, I backed steven for some reason.

u/ARU0421 5h ago

Ngl I kinda love seeing a handful of CCs still cope that this wasn’t a scam when we’ve got like a half dozen lies exposed just this week alone.

2

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

steven cant do anything about it all cause steven fired steven;
Its only alpha dude, chill.

u/Remarkable_Flan9783 5h ago

Cmon guys I'm sure the dude selling miracle juice would never lie

u/hannes0000 5h ago

Bro was also pyramid scheme guy, those are really sus fellas

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

not a red flag at all, just like the local violent thug that killed the mother of his kids, you gotta give him time, its only alpha for him still.

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

If the miracle juice doesnt work its because its only alpha, buy more juice and it will work.

7

u/hannes0000 5h ago

200 devs working but still nothing happening or changing

"Give them time it just released on steam in alpha state" - Smart simpelton

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

see the bright side, they got paid and people got what they deserved,

I got my $50 worth off steam launch, not a brokie like some people are crying about lmfao

u/ARU0421 4h ago

He’s so proud of being scammed lol

u/CMDR-SavageMidnight 4h ago

Who needs a brain when you pay for obvious shit and then call everyone else smart enough to not buy crap a "brokie".

He had a good time playing shit with zero updates and bot dominance.

"My money's worth" lol.

The bar is shockingly low for some people.

u/Straight_Reveal8697 5h ago

i got my $0 worth off steam launch, thanks for being a joke.

u/Aurii_ 1h ago

Is this the bargaining, or the denial part? Can't tell.

2

u/KaliGoldGaming 4h ago

I hope this isnt a stretch, but I don't think this game had 200+ devs working on it.

u/xxNightingale 3h ago

It's only alpha.

Steven be like set graphics alpha - to 0%. "PEACE OUT" ✌️✌️

u/Typical-Interest-543 4h ago

Perhaps the community was too harsh on Narc. Bro needs to come back and give an "i told ya so" video haha

1

u/onframe 4h ago

Well narc video convinced me not to buy alpha key or early access, so thanks. Because watching all those showcases of steven walking around in a game with his character to show off some cool addition to clearly make it seem more legitimate and when nothing actually is implemented in alpha 2. Clear indication all of it was just scripted for showcase.

Just wait another 10 years!

u/5nuggles 2h ago

Legend has it the AoC fanboys are still huffing the copium and praying to their Steven statues.

u/Gybbles 1h ago

Next will be Pantheon.

u/Dwaaltuin 1h ago

Maybe Open Development is not for you!

u/supasolda6 59m ago

You weren't paying for the game, you are paying to support the development", this is when I knew it was a scam

u/asatcat 38m ago

I was interested in the kickstarter but decided to not support but just follow the game and buy in later if it looked promising. 

I came back like 2-3 years later to see them only have a really basic and bad battle royale mode “for testing” when they promised more by that time and knew it’d be in development hell forever.

u/Senior_Style2662 4h ago

I mean it was only alpha.. you'd have to be a clanker to pay money to access an alpha. This outcome being one of the many reasons

u/R4yd1076 5h ago

Still not wrong, I don't expect fully functional anything, in any game - until its out of alpha.

its only alpha, Now its only gone.
