How many more years do you think Mabi has left?
Comments
Its the new last post wins thread.
Random quoting error edit.
Me too. This thread makes the game look bad.
I think people just want the older models to be updated to be on par with the current ones, I don't think they're asking for an overhaul to that extreme.
Me though, I just want humans and elves to have updated models like the Giants got tbh. I'm tired of these ugly N64 block hands with the fingers just painted on and absolutely no muscle tone unless I wear my Basic Briefs. You'd think hauling around all these heavy weapons and using bows would tone us up a bit! xD
Currently it's like...
Humans and elves Giants
Blade and Soul was okay.
Aura Kingdom was near terrible.
All those mmorpgs had great graphic but had not only worse problems with afk but with people flat out not talking to you. And when they did, they said you had to be end game to talk to people! What? :U
Same. Tried these games too. The graphics and combat looks really nice... But! I didn't find anyone to talk to, everyone just rushes into combat and says nothing at all, there was a lot of botters who would break games economy drastically, most players in community were rude, toxic and huge whiners. Everything i did was running around, killing and gathering stuff for NPC's like an errand girl...
I would totally want Mabinogi to take only one thing from these games - it's character customization. The variety of options in customization is really admirable, i always ended up spending at least 15-20 minutes to finally decide how i want my character to look like in those games lol.
yes definitely. I've played games where it literally took me an HOUR to make the character and then I barely played the game for that long before ditching it. some games have really great character customization but everything else is meh
I do want to see texture updates, but I was criticizing Sheena' suggestion that we "update the engine" in a way that implies we could enact small changes to Pleione, which is an engine not many people are familiar with, especially to its usage over a decade, as if were that easy or done in that way, to get extremely effective graphical changes.
No, no it is not. You may as well launch Mabinogi 2 and create an entirely new engine. It isn't that we cannot improve it, because we obviously can, as Yiankutku stated,but going back to tweak an engine would be much harder, less efficient, and less effective than rebuilding it from the ground up.
Personally, I don't hate Aura Kingdom because of who it's owned by, I hate Aura Kingdom because it has a stale story, a stale character customization, and even staler combat. I loved Blade and Soul's combat but eugh... it's players! If I see ANY IN THE FIRST PLACE, they never talk, and if they do talk, it's a sassy response, especially if you ask a question. It's like, "dude go look it up it's not that hard". And people on Mabinogi complain about population size HERE? Compared to Blade and Soul I think Mabinogi's packed to the brim.
All Mabinogi needs is some smoothing around the edges, glitch fixes, and advertising. < u>
You imply I hate it for who owns it, rather than how they act. Once they ban due to an "irregular purchase flow", then I would argue they are indeed asshats. A great game cannot be realized if the company is extremely incompetent or money grubbing. However, the lack of knockback and suspicious number key spamming you might see in anything from Runescape to Scarlet Blade is also quite a factor, alongside a lackluster tutorial that even I couldn't quite understand, with meaningless numbers that act more as technobabble.
I mostly stayed for the cosmetics, which lead to my demise.
This graphic is pretty accurate tbh.
I think there's possibly many who like it the way it currently is though. Since not everyone wants Humans and Elves to look all crazy muscular and ultra manly like Giants. Because if even Humans and Elves were all like that then it would make those recent Eluned outfits look just as creepy on them as they do on Giants...
If this is what they meant, then I'm fine with a graphical update. Of course, all of the races still need to have their own sort of style. Maybe even work on some model clipping?
Sure other mmos are trying with telegraphs and boss mechanics. But this game is going on 15 years old and has unique gameplay that almost no other MMO has you don't just stand there and push buttons 1-9 until the enemy dies hoping you don't take enough damage to survive. You plan ahead, observe, and act accordingly. If only other companies would adapt gameplay like this in a different or more updated format. Video games might actually become fun and more interesting again. Instead of countless amounts of MMOs that are basically just reskins of each other. I could go on forever about how Mabi is such a great game and how its Unique. I just wish that people could see this game more and play it more.
You deserve a trophy. This is why I can't play any other mmorpg but Mabinogi for a long period of time. That annoys me to no end. All these fancy trailers of cool super sparkly graphics and people fighting with awesome skills all to jump in the game, spend an hour on character creation, and then oh look! More predictable story and fetch quests with smash-the-number-keys repeatedly combat.
But the only mmorpg I can think of where you DON'T do that... is Onigiri. At least you can dodge and hop and skip around a lot more than your typical mmorpg. But the TOTAL lack of character customization really peaves me. :S
