This, spend all your money on quality of voice acting, writing, world and set design make it the biggest riot game spectacle and then slap on your raids at the end.
Yeah because you guys are MMO boomers. No new audience is gonna pick up another game where every class can do everything within their role, there is an extremely repetitive bland 2 minute meta, and most bosses are literally just "stand in the right place and wait for your damage window". Especially since we already have 3 popular MMOs that do the exact same thing. With more coming in the future. Tab targeting and "combat" only exists as a compromise for the horrible 2 decade old netcode all these absolutely ancient games have.
@@undercoverspy123 Respectfully, it really doesn't matter if you've been playing for 10 hours or 10,000 hours, wanting a tab targeting theme park clone of ff14 is an MMO boomer opinion to hold. Over half of current MMO players are over 25, and the genre has a well known difficulty attracting a new player base that isn't just established players that look back fondly on the golden age of mmos. Adding another wow clone into what is essentially a well established decade old market isn't a very good creative decision, in my opinion, and it looks to be their opinion as well.
So i kinda wanna cope and think 'overwatch was released just 2 years after titan was scrapped' but i know for a fact ill be loading this bad boy up with my 3 grandkids in a care home
OW2 was an MMO that got reduced to a Hero Shooter... they basically only kept the art-ish for it, and creating a couple of small maps and 3 abilities per hero is VERY different to comparing an Open World Map with some 10-20 abilities per hero :| Riot even if they scrapped everything except the art and maaaybe some of the maps they made, it's not east to create something NEW and INNOVATIVE and GROUNDBREAKING in a MMO compared to... what? Every other shooter that existed before? But now you have shields and more HP?
I mean an mmo normally takes "2 - 4 years" to make from scratch so it should be possible but sadly this is Riot, the company that apparently gets to work at 10am, fucks around and then starts work after their 11:30am lunchbreak
@@FyreNail2 no, it doesnt take just 2-4 years unless its more of an old school MMO that doesnt require as much, like runescape. an MMO take at least 5++ years, especially in these day of age, as ppl dont really want old scool MMO anymore and want something new, exciting and different, so it will take a long time
Why? He did what he was supposed to he established a team for the game...i dont think he was ever meant to stay and advise thru the whole process of creating the game
He didnt leave to open his own, he left because of personal reasons. He actually wanted to come back after he started feeling better, he got bunch of offers from other studios etc, but iirc tencent offered him literally everything every permission etc. so he accepted that as a lead.
The multiplayer component of ME3 was made by Psyonix while they were in their outsourcing days before Rocket League popped off. It wasn't made by BioWare themselves.
Old school RuneScape is also an incredible mmo, and is gaining a lot of traction. It doesn’t have traditional tanks or healers, but still crazy fun to do end game content
I saw a 50 second tiktok explaining everything. Necrit does this job amazingly, adding references, his opinions and comedy, instead of just giving you raw information@@nuggyfresh6430
@@nuggyfresh6430 There's nothing important about it that Riot themselves would forget to mention in such an "important" tweet. The guy is stretching everything he gets his hands on to make some content. I wouldn't be surprised if he made a whole new channel just to talk about font used in the game.
The thing is In my opinion Riot was never rly a visionary in the gaming industry fundamentals They took what was there in the original Dota and made it better They took Dota Auto-chess and made it better They took what was there in CS and added their own spin to it They took what was there in hearthstone and made their own game from it They never reinvented the wheel, they just made some Damn good wheels Why start now? I'm sure an MMO that sticks to the basics of other MMO's already in the market and a few new and interesting mechanics that are always present in Riot games when compared to their competitors would have been a profitable approach, why give that up to make a "significant revolution of the genre"
Exactly. Riot hasn't made a single game/mechanic that made a precedent in the gaming industry. They making something that is not traditional is way more concerning than people think. People enjoy their games because they make what is rough out there better.
@@suemebanhmedamn you are the type of guy who only plays indie game, claim its way better than AAA title without ever playing it, “judges” it with your own extremely bias and uneducated commentary and feel smug about it. Idek why are you here if you don’t like riot product
3:01 this sums up the disconnect of all MMO developers and actual gamers. Players WANT that classic MMO experience with modern graphics. Huge worlds, quests but sandbox, player cities, player housing, pvp and pve. Every developer out there keeps trying to redefine what the next MMO should look like. Just give us Star Wars Galaxies with modern graphics and themed to your content and I promise you will have more subs than any other MMO in the history of MMOs.
it will never be significant as long it is still RUSH TO LEVEL 100, Kill boss based on NUMBERS, and especially TAB TARGETING. Competitive games are more popular because of SKILL EXPRESSION. even 1 competitive game have more players than mmorpg players combined. NEW PLATERS hate catching up to player with 100,000 hour level 100 players with Legendary Equipment. \ To have new fresh players every gen like the real sports. It needs to be skill based. It will also prevent the Powercreep.
From the beginning, I didnt believe that they can make a MMO game in a normal time. It is a hard task to do especially for a game company that cant even manage 3 moba champion.
i really hope they will take inspiration of how world interaction works in Helldivers II. Totally different game, but you have one big game master, seasoning the map with events, interactions and push backs. This dynamic, of a living war/world, is awesome, and should be applied to multiplayer games overall.
"we don't believe you all want an MMO that you've played before with a Runeterra coat of paint" oh no... they're doing THE THING every failed modern MMO does
They are correct though. Those all sucked and use outdated designs. The reason failed mmo's failed was because they didn't know why those otherwise terrible games have lasted so long.
@@Yks2026uwu first of all, im not really an MMO player, im just observing the trends of the last few years. Im not asking for a WoW reskin I'm just saying that stuff like what Tryndamere said is one of the things it's said before a failed MMO. I really wish they prove me wrong tho
You're telling me that a producer from the two rushed ME games is the EP of the Riot MMO? You know what one of the major jobs of a producer is? Managing the development schedule.
People need to remember that experience with bad games is still experience. Even if Faburisu did work on those less than amazing games, that just means that he knows what can go wrong during development and can navigate those issues better.
This is gonna be either the biggest flop in the video game industry or the greatest thing to ever happen to it (that will later turn into complete shit) No in-between
At 18:40 Necrit is absolutely right. I fully trust the devs and will wait for a good game made by them no matter how long it takes. Even Legends of Runeterra is a fantastic game, it just isn’t monetized well that’s why Riot still supports it.
Ah, the MassEffect Citadel ambiance playing in the background has sent me on such a nostagia journey, I could barely feel any disappointment about the MMO news XD
@@le1660 and even if it does, something tells me, very loudly, that it won't be that good (as if resetting your entire progress didn't do that already)
I’m confused why they even made this announcement to begin with. We already knew next to nothing about the game so why create all this doom and gloom in the community? I had already assumed the game wouldn’t come out for 10 years at least. All this announcement does is make them look bad and lose the faith of their players.
can't help but feel when it releases and im playing with 3 friends we will all be saying "wouldn't this be amazing with 1000+ players in the same world" and then we will stop playing because the idea of the game doesn't even come close to another 4 player coop game
I think they should go for a more story driven experience over anything. Like having the traditional grinding of an MMO is important but the Runeterra universe is special because of the ever expanding stories. Maybe some form of making your own story would benefit them over anything. (I was expecting a 2026 release or trailer... Can't wait to show my kids the new MMO.)
not gonna happen in an MMO, that'd be for single player gamer. The RPG in MMORPG means you make your own story regardless, but most gamers just press buttons these days, they dont really immerse themselves. They rush to endgame, watch streamers to min/max, then cry when all the content is consumed.
I think it would be possible to strike a balance between story and gameplay. I just hope they do a good amount of world building and make it feel alive
yeah FF14 already does this and is massively popular and the devs are some of the most respected in the industry, can confirm balled my eyes out at the end of Endwalker and wiped to boss mechs in fuckin normal cause I couldn't see through the tears.
When it comes to MMOs I am EXTREMELY patient, as long as it's not canceled i'll be fine. It's just a shame Riot Forge is no more, because I really liked all of their games.
FF XIV is something you need to tread lightly Necrit. It's gone thru hell and have been revived with blood, sweat, and love of Yoshi-P. The lore, the gameplay, the SOUNDTRACK is something no other game can keep up with.
Played WoW for a decade, played FFXIV for 3 years. Fun game, but this is delusion. It’s not as special and unique as FFXIV hardcores want to believe it is. But the audience is 95% furries and anime weirdos so I don’t expect the sanest takes from those crowds.
i hope its different from most MMO's, i find it really hard to bring myself to mindlessly slave away and grind on 90% of them so if they're actually trying to make this one different and hopefully more engaging then i'm all for waiting longer when they say they don't want it to be just another MMO with a runeterra coat of paint, i can almost guarantee that they just want to make it more accessible for people who don't like the usual MMO grind
They previously said they want a game that you can come back to without fomo. So casual driven and has content for hardcore grinders but mostly focused on casuals where they play for few months take few months break to play new releases and come back without feeling like starting from 0
@@sonnyankau9239 which is completely fine, i personally don't mind grinding for a game but its the grind that most MMOs have that frustrates me. when it comes down to it almost every single MMO's combat is just "do rotation, if AOE is bad then move and if AOE is good then stand still" which is incredibly boring. FF14 was a mild exception with the fact that a few classes have a somewhat interesting rotation and there are some mechanics which don't make it as stale or dull, but FF14's issue is the MSQ being as long as it is. riot knows how to keep people engaged and hooked on games and i have faith they'll be able to finally make an MMO with gameplay that doesn't make me feel like my brain is rotting
If I could have a WoW that isn't ran by Blizzard, with boss mechanics like FF14 Online, mixed with League's lore... My life would be dedicated to that game 24/7/365. I just hope that Riot's MMO fulfills the traditional MMORPG, the questing isn't bad, and grinding for the end game is fun. All I hope for in an MMORPG.
@@PheonixT-ki8rx thats the concern. At this point, its more likely it gets cancelled then they make the next Hades. but on an MMO scale. Here is the sad truth, if they just had a vision and ran with it then it should at least be solid as long as its fun to play
11:00 Faburisu is executive producer not developper.. executive producers are the ppl forcing the ppl lower than them on the hierarchy to do bad work and the ones messing everything up for everyone..
I hope they'll add some kind of GM system like in Helldivers where a global order gets announced every few days/week, and enemy strategies and spawns adapt to the player activity.
I believe that the beauty of the runeterra universe deserves nothing more then something absolutely extraordinary, i support this decisions STRONGLY, marketing riot mmo as runeterra wow would attract only the loyalist and nobody else, we can have more then that
honestly im excited for them to try something big and new with the mmo. i havent really been into any mmos i played. the only two notable ones were runescape and tera, and that's only because i was playing them to hang out with people.
One thing I learned as a student in this industry is that experience is everything. Nomatter if the games you made flopped or turned out a success, you will learn out of that project and do better the next time. Thats why im not concerned with Faburisu. He has experience and I'm sure the team will pull off an amazimg game. I know im ingesting pure copium here but I really believe in them.
I wonder how much of this is planned to stir up the waters to see the reactions. I mean it would be a good way to see where people stand on things given how well Necrit here helps it along.
Its going to be a disastrous flop, a fireworks for all the wrong reasons. They are in development hell with this one and will end up like "Skull and Bones".
Some test footage for external feedback before canning the whole thing would still be better than whatever they've been doing now, it'd be more believable if they say it's just not monetized enough or something
Appreciate that they pulled back. From what it sounds they ended up with something very traditional (WoW and FFXIV) which is already on its way out with their core gameplay by today's standards. XIV ends up functioning more like a second-life than a game now and WoW is sustained by fumes from 2004. Appreciate how they'll try to balance out the super approachable system, but mind numbing, button bloating tab targeting, and the much higher barrier of entry of modern action combat you see in korean mmos/newer releases. Then progression systems and etc.
I think a big feature that every MMORPG needs to have is in-depth customization. Not just character creation, but also build opportunities, outfits, housings/homesteads. The best game to be not only has great character progression through levels and dungeons/raids, but also through community. I'm a serious RPer, every MMORPG I've played I scour and find some kind of roleplay community to be apart of. I like to invest my time into only a few, small handful of characters - mostly just one or two. That's what gets me to stay in an MMORPG for a very long time. So to hear this just makes me worried about what's to come to the Runeterra MMO.
gameplay is the king. If it is another TAB TARGETTING. It will only satisfy folks like you. It will only tank with the story/progression. But it will be just another nostalgia game. People love skill expression even in real life. That is why SPORTS is still alive despite no STORY and Content. New mmo At least need Spellbreak, Overwatch or Marvel Rivals gameplay. Riot already have the LORE. If it want to immortalize it. It needs Satisfying gameplay.
It's never coming out. They said they want it to do "something different," but it sounds like they still haven't figured out what they want it to do differently.
It's funny, I would honestly probably love an MMO that I've played before but with a Runeterra coat of paint. Not saying I wont like what they're working on better, but I hope they're not trying to reinvent the genre just for the sake of being different. I don't mind if it's similar to stuff I've played before if that's the most fun version of it.
i was talking with a friend about this. i feel like if they made the league MMO to be more centric on learning the lore and quests, i'd love that. maybe make combat feel similar to league combat, but let you add abilities to QWERASDF. make the abilities fully customizable/piecemeal. certain races in certain areas can do quests to get ability components. so things like projectile, AOE, then element damage like electric, rock, fire, and shielding, healing components. if they can balance it well enough, the PVP scene may actually be really good, since no two people would have the exact same setup of skills, making its unpredictable.
What is problematic for me in "we don't believe you all want an MMO that you've played before" is that A LOT of people tried to improve the genra of what an MMORPG is, and failed. Every time a company tried to make a new take on how an MMO should work, it ended up being worse than what theme park MMOs had to offer (ff14, WoW...) Well, I AM hopeful that we will get an awsome new take on the MMO genra, just a bit sad that the chances of it being something I don't wish to play increased drasticly because of this decision.
I wouldn't have played a theme park again so this is only good news for me. I have played theme parks and they all end up as wasted time. I would not have been any less happy playing other games instead. The best parts of an MMO do not even come from the theme park design. It comes from the people playing it.
@@Merilirem I do not fully agree with this. the sentence could be replaced by "the best parts about playing *any type of game* do not even come from *their gameplay* . It comes from the people playing it. playing poker with friends will always be more fun than playing alone on league. because the fun comes from interacting with your friends or friends-to-be first and foremost.
I already expected it to take many years. It's not like we are gonna be starved without good games until it comes out. I see this as good news and I hope they take the time they need to make the game as high quality as possible.
I like their transparency though. One thing I've been really wanting from an MMO is a deep character/class customisation system. I remember playing Rift and loving it multi class system there, I've been wanting something like that ever since Rift pretty much died, but no MMO has been very satisfying for me. I'm the kind of person who enjoys experimenting with builds and creating weird/janky/gimmicky builds.
@@pryncebusta I hate Blizzard, no thanks and WoW's class system is by far inferior to what Rift had. It used to be that you could put points into 3 different talent trees and build your class differently to other people, they removed that so I quit.
Riot is not going to make anything that will feel like a "sigificant evolution of the genre". There really isn't much you can do with MMOs at this point. People do needs to understand that ALL MMOs comes down to going around and killing stuff one way or another. Its just a matter of fun it is. Its weird that people haven't learned to keep their expectations in the realm of reality. People should ask for a quality MMO experience with a quality combat, instead of expecting something that is going to "reinvent the wheel". This is especially true because Riot is at its best when they spin an established thing to their liking. Riot's identity was never about uniqueness. FFXIV would've been a much better game if it had a better combat. WoW or BnS would've been a much better game if it had better social features and content accompanied with it. BDO would've been a much better game if it had better group content. They should look to fill what the big MMOs are missing instead of going after the "unique". The "unique" is a major reason why we're constantly getting trash AAA games.
ur not wrong, riot does specialize a lot in taking established games and releasing a version that draws out the best in said games. however i also think thats also a large reason that riot wants to make this mmo truly "their own". people with actual eyes will know that riot just made as @negentropyagent7337 says "a complete experience". but people without eyes which seems to be quite a large number of degen dota wow cs and overwatch fans say: "Riot is just hard copying our popular games i have no idea why they are so popular how can they be better than our original games". and quite honestly i think that the degen opinion is being heard way more than the sensible one making riot right now having that label of being a copycat
4:36 i totally get the loyalty thing as im super loyal to FFXIV i couldnt tell you why idk really but every time i play a different mmo i just miss FFXIV and always go back
I will forever love Necrit for being a good critic. He puts as much effort in highlighting the good things as he does in pointing out the bad things. With this, you get a much wider perspective and you can even leave the video with some kind of an optimistic feeling about the future!
I feel like by the time the game is even remotely close to being released, so much time have passed that most if not all of the team working on it would be new people, and original vision would be distorted and changed by all the comes and goes of this truly huge company. No matter what idea they have pivoted to at the moment, in 5 years it will not be the same idea.
just to pitch a point, some of the biggest games ever had a similar reality when being created, the original devs of diablo didn't intend or have any want to put mouse click combat and was going for something entirely different. Only after the diablo developers got a feel for what the game could be with that direction did it turn into a hack and slash clicker, I don't think them announcing they had to scrap and restart some or all of the project is a bad take on it going forward.
It's hard to think about a game taking that long to come out after being hyped for it for a good bit. I'm looking forward to having an MMO set in the LoL universe.
"no dev ever wants too make a bad game" straight facts, and something ive been saying for years. its almost always the corporate that hold devs back, and crush them.
Honestly, I just wanna see the world and lore of Runeterra fleshed out and given life. I dont necessarily think the MMO NEEDS to be genre-defining. But I get they also want to try and appeal to a broader audience than just League degens, so...
This is exactly what I wanted though, an MMO we played before with a runeterra cote of paint and riot quality. EXACTLY what I wished for. Now we ain't getting a game for minimum of 10-15 years and I can't say im all that hyped for it anymore.
Ill love that all this info given by tryndamere its an offseason april's fool joke and the game will be announced in a couple of months.... it will be AMAZING
I think more companies should "do it in silence". How many times have companies shown unfinished, early ideas just for them not to be able to include them. It just serves to put pressure on the devs and put usually unobtainable expectations.
What I'm getting from this is that Ghostcrawler had a vision for a traditional MMORPG, the higher ups didn't see it working out and thus he left and they sacked it all.
funnily enough, when they said Bioware and EA, my first thought was Dragon Age, which is a fantastic fantasy world that has a lot of parallels to Runeterra
I wonder what that means for the dev timeline? I mean, changing your vision doesn't mean they have to throw away all their tooling and assets. I imagine they've already got chunks of the map/ towns made and just don't know what to do with it.
It’s funny to say they are “going dark for several years” as if they haven’t been doing this since announcing it. We’ve gotten nothing beyond an announcement that they are making it.

I mean an mmo normally takes "2 - 4 years" to make from scratch so it should be possible but sadly this is Riot, the company that apparently gets to work at 10am, fucks around and then starts work after their 11:30am lunchbreak
might as well wait 5 years, i don't mind
@@FyreNail2 no, it doesnt take just 2-4 years unless its more of an old school MMO that doesnt require as much, like runescape. an MMO take at least 5++ years, especially in these day of age, as ppl dont really want old scool MMO anymore and want something new, exciting and different, so it will take a long time
don't even mention overwatch. i still miss owning my beautiful game....
As soon as Greg left the project only for him to open up his own studio months later, i knew the project was slowly collapsing.
Why? He did what he was supposed to he established a team for the game...i dont think he was ever meant to stay and advise thru the whole process of creating the game
wat project?
He didnt leave to open his own, he left because of personal reasons. He actually wanted to come back after he started feeling better, he got bunch of offers from other studios etc, but iirc tencent offered him literally everything every permission etc. so he accepted that as a lead.

Only Necrit can do a 20 min video using one tweet
I get that you're joking but this is an especially small brained take given how important the tweet is
I saw a 50 second tiktok explaining everything. Necrit does this job amazingly, adding references, his opinions and comedy, instead of just giving you raw information@@nuggyfresh6430
His reaction is a 50min video on the second channel
It was multiple tweets.
@@nuggyfresh6430 There's nothing important about it that Riot themselves would forget to mention in such an "important" tweet. The guy is stretching everything he gets his hands on to make some content. I wouldn't be surprised if he made a whole new channel just to talk about font used in the game.
Imagine if they saw your awesome videos about their game and felt like "It's never going to be this good. We need to redo it all over again!"
The thing is
In my opinion Riot was never rly a visionary in the gaming industry fundamentals
They took what was there in the original Dota and made it better
They took Dota Auto-chess and made it better
They took what was there in CS and added their own spin to it
They took what was there in hearthstone and made their own game from it
They never reinvented the wheel, they just made some Damn good wheels
Why start now?
I'm sure an MMO that sticks to the basics of other MMO's already in the market and a few new and interesting mechanics that are always present in Riot games when compared to their competitors would have been a profitable approach, why give that up to make a "significant revolution of the genre"
They did not make things better for gameplay they just made it better for their revenue system..
Exactly. Riot hasn't made a single game/mechanic that made a precedent in the gaming industry. They making something that is not traditional is way more concerning than people think. People enjoy their games because they make what is rough out there better.
long story short their games are simplified for the masses and don't actually have a soul...

3:01 this sums up the disconnect of all MMO developers and actual gamers. Players WANT that classic MMO experience with modern graphics. Huge worlds, quests but sandbox, player cities, player housing, pvp and pve. Every developer out there keeps trying to redefine what the next MMO should look like. Just give us Star Wars Galaxies with modern graphics and themed to your content and I promise you will have more subs than any other MMO in the history of MMOs.
it will never be significant as long it is still RUSH TO LEVEL 100, Kill boss based on NUMBERS, and especially TAB TARGETING.
Competitive games are more popular because of SKILL EXPRESSION. even 1 competitive game have more players than mmorpg players combined.
NEW PLATERS hate catching up to player with 100,000 hour level 100 players with Legendary Equipment. \
To have new fresh players every gen like the real sports. It needs to be skill based. It will also prevent the Powercreep.
From the beginning, I didnt believe that they can make a MMO game in a normal time. It is a hard task to do especially for a game company that cant even manage 3 moba champion.
Hahahahahah im dyinggggg
this should be top comment ffs
I never really understood this narrative, for a game with 160 character it has crazy good balance and metas.
i really hope they will take inspiration of how world interaction works in Helldivers II. Totally different game, but you have one big game master, seasoning the map with events, interactions and push backs. This dynamic, of a living war/world, is awesome, and should be applied to multiplayer games overall.
no
"we don't believe you all want an MMO that you've played before with a Runeterra coat of paint"
oh no...

So why aren't you
just play WoW instead of WoW clone.
They are correct though. Those all sucked and use outdated designs. The reason failed mmo's failed was because they didn't know why those otherwise terrible games have lasted so long.

@@Yks2026uwu first of all, im not really an MMO player, im just observing the trends of the last few years. Im not asking for a WoW reskin I'm just saying that stuff like what Tryndamere said is one of the things it's said before a failed MMO. I really wish they prove me wrong tho
Oh god no. WoW is so shit.
You're telling me that a producer from the two rushed ME games is the EP of the Riot MMO? You know what one of the major jobs of a producer is? Managing the development schedule.

At 18:40 Necrit is absolutely right. I fully trust the devs and will wait for a good game made by them no matter how long it takes. Even Legends of Runeterra is a fantastic game, it just isn’t monetized well that’s why Riot still supports it.

I had already assumed the game wouldn’t come out for 10 years at least. All this announcement does is make them look bad and lose the faith of their players.

Well.. I wish I'm still alive when that MMO arrives in 2089.
it might be the Jack Daniels talking but you just killed me with the ""lethal dose of copium" lmao
I think they should go for a more story driven experience over anything. Like having the traditional grinding of an MMO is important but the Runeterra universe is special because of the ever expanding stories. Maybe some form of making your own story would benefit them over anything. (I was expecting a 2026 release or trailer... Can't wait to show my kids the new MMO.)
not gonna happen in an MMO, that'd be for single player gamer. The RPG in MMORPG means you make your own story regardless, but most gamers just press buttons these days, they dont really immerse themselves. They rush to endgame, watch streamers to min/max, then cry when all the content is consumed.
@ratburgler FF14 would like a word with you, that's an MMO that is very heavily lore driven
I think it would be possible to strike a balance between story and gameplay. I just hope they do a good amount of world building and make it feel alive
ngl i dont know many ppl that play ff14 for the lore, if they do it, it has to be worth it and be paid attention to by most@@cameronhubbuck
yeah FF14 already does this and is massively popular and the devs are some of the most respected in the industry, can confirm balled my eyes out at the end of Endwalker and wiped to boss mechs in fuckin normal cause I couldn't see through the tears.
Classic WoW has a special place in a lot of people's hearts. Even when you've done everything, you find yourself still going back to it.
When it comes to MMOs I am EXTREMELY patient, as long as it's not canceled i'll be fine. It's just a shame Riot Forge is no more, because I really liked all of their games.
you kinda need to be, since last solid mmo that came out was GW2. xD
@@magicka789 new world is pretty good nowadays
FF XIV is something you need to tread lightly Necrit. It's gone thru hell and have been revived with blood, sweat, and love of Yoshi-P. The lore, the gameplay, the SOUNDTRACK is something no other game can keep up with.
Played WoW for a decade, played FFXIV for 3 years. Fun game, but this is delusion. It’s not as special and unique as FFXIV hardcores want to believe it is. But the audience is 95% furries and anime weirdos so I don’t expect the sanest takes from those crowds.
i hope its different from most MMO's, i find it really hard to bring myself to mindlessly slave away and grind on 90% of them so if they're actually trying to make this one different and hopefully more engaging then i'm all for waiting longer
when they say they don't want it to be just another MMO with a runeterra coat of paint, i can almost guarantee that they just want to make it more accessible for people who don't like the usual MMO grind
They previously said they want a game that you can come back to without fomo. So casual driven and has content for hardcore grinders but mostly focused on casuals where they play for few months take few months break to play new releases and come back without feeling like starting from 0
mmo's just aren't for you & riot's likely won't be either. mmo's are inherently grindy games that require time investment.
@@sonnyankau9239 which is completely fine, i personally don't mind grinding for a game but its the grind that most MMOs have that frustrates me. when it comes down to it almost every single MMO's combat is just "do rotation, if AOE is bad then move and if AOE is good then stand still" which is incredibly boring. FF14 was a mild exception with the fact that a few classes have a somewhat interesting rotation and there are some mechanics which don't make it as stale or dull, but FF14's issue is the MSQ being as long as it is.
riot knows how to keep people engaged and hooked on games and i have faith they'll be able to finally make an MMO with gameplay that doesn't make me feel like my brain is rotting
@@thecabbageman5948 yes, mmo's aren't for you. that's fine. if riot knew how to keep people engaged lor wouldn't be on its death bed.

If I could have a WoW that isn't ran by Blizzard, with boss mechanics like FF14 Online, mixed with League's lore... My life would be dedicated to that game 24/7/365.

I'd rather it come out good LATER, than come out shit SOONER.
It will come out AVERAGE later....
@@PheonixT-ki8rx thats the concern. At this point, its more likely it gets cancelled then they make the next Hades. but on an MMO scale.
Here is the sad truth, if they just had a vision and ran with it then it should at least be solid as long as its fun to play

Later doesn't mean better nor good

Talking about big MMOs and not mentioning Oldschool Runescape. Big crime.
He talks about classic wow as if runescape didn't do it all first.
I hope they'll add some kind of GM system like in Helldivers where a global order gets announced every few days/week, and enemy strategies and spawns adapt to the player activity.
I believe that the beauty of the runeterra universe deserves nothing more then something absolutely extraordinary, i support this decisions STRONGLY, marketing riot mmo as runeterra wow would attract only the loyalist and nobody else, we can have more then that
honestly im excited for them to try something big and new with the mmo. i havent really been into any mmos i played. the only two notable ones were runescape and tera, and that's only because i was playing them to hang out with people.
One thing I learned as a student in this industry is that experience is everything.
Nomatter if the games you made flopped or turned out a success, you will learn out of that project and do better the next time.
Thats why im not concerned with Faburisu. He has experience and I'm sure the team will pull off an amazimg game.

Its going to be a disastrous flop, a fireworks for all the wrong reasons. They are in development hell with this one and will end up like "Skull and Bones".
It wont release they are just shifting to some more profitable mobile game or smth
Some test footage for external feedback before canning the whole thing would still be better than whatever they've been doing now, it'd be more believable if they say it's just not monetized enough or something
Appreciate that they pulled back. From what it sounds they ended up with something very traditional (WoW and FFXIV) which is already on its way out with their core gameplay by today's standards. XIV ends up functioning more like a second-life than a game now and WoW is sustained by fumes from 2004.
Appreciate how they'll try to balance out the super approachable system, but mind numbing, button bloating tab targeting, and the much higher barrier of entry of modern action combat you see in korean mmos/newer releases. Then progression systems and etc.
I think a big feature that every MMORPG needs to have is in-depth customization. Not just character creation, but also build opportunities, outfits, housings/homesteads. The best game to be not only has great character progression through levels and dungeons/raids, but also through community. I'm a serious RPer, every MMORPG I've played I scour and find some kind of roleplay community to be apart of. I like to invest my time into only a few, small handful of characters - mostly just one or two. That's what gets me to stay in an MMORPG for a very long time. So to hear this just makes me worried about what's to come to the Runeterra MMO.
gameplay is the king. If it is another TAB TARGETTING. It will only satisfy folks like you. It will only tank with the story/progression. But it will be just another nostalgia game.
People love skill expression even in real life. That is why SPORTS is still alive despite no STORY and Content.
New mmo At least need Spellbreak, Overwatch or Marvel Rivals gameplay.
Riot already have the LORE. If it want to immortalize it. It needs Satisfying gameplay.
Necrit is just "Distilled Copium" personified.
wowcel
WoW with runeterra coat of paint is something i would likely pay monthly for, for the rest of my life
It's never coming out. They said they want it to do "something different," but it sounds like they still haven't figured out what they want it to do differently.
It's funny, I would honestly probably love an MMO that I've played before but with a Runeterra coat of paint. Not saying I wont like what they're working on better, but I hope they're not trying to reinvent the genre just for the sake of being different. I don't mind if it's similar to stuff I've played before if that's the most fun version of it.
i was talking with a friend about this. i feel like if they made the league MMO to be more centric on learning the lore and quests, i'd love that. maybe make combat feel similar to league combat, but let you add abilities to QWERASDF. make the abilities fully customizable/piecemeal. certain races in certain areas can do quests to get ability components. so things like projectile, AOE, then element damage like electric, rock, fire, and shielding, healing components. if they can balance it well enough, the PVP scene may actually be really good, since no two people would have the exact same setup of skills, making its unpredictable.
GG. I hope my great grandkids will have fun with this game, im going to be long dead by then.
What is problematic for me in "we don't believe you all want an MMO that you've played before" is that A LOT of people tried to improve the genra of what an MMORPG is, and failed.
Every time a company tried to make a new take on how an MMO should work, it ended up being worse than what theme park MMOs had to offer (ff14, WoW...)
Well, I AM hopeful that we will get an awsome new take on the MMO genra, just a bit sad that the chances of it being something I don't wish to play increased drasticly because of this decision.
I wouldn't have played a theme park again so this is only good news for me. I have played theme parks and they all end up as wasted time. I would not have been any less happy playing other games instead. The best parts of an MMO do not even come from the theme park design. It comes from the people playing it.
@@Merilirem I do not fully agree with this. the sentence could be replaced by "the best parts about playing *any type of game* do not even come from *their gameplay* . It comes from the people playing it.
playing poker with friends will always be more fun than playing alone on league. because the fun comes from interacting with your friends or friends-to-be first and foremost.
Awesome video man! You are very good at stretching stories while giving us smooth information.
I already expected it to take many years. It's not like we are gonna be starved without good games until it comes out. I see this as good news and I hope they take the time they need to make the game as high quality as possible.
RuneScape, Maplestory, Wow, FF14, Put the Rito paint on any of these MMOS ill be happy lmao
I like their transparency though.
One thing I've been really wanting from an MMO is a deep character/class customisation system. I remember playing Rift and loving it multi class system there, I've been wanting something like that ever since Rift pretty much died, but no MMO has been very satisfying for me. I'm the kind of person who enjoys experimenting with builds and creating weird/janky/gimmicky builds.
Go play wow
@@pryncebusta I hate Blizzard, no thanks and WoW's class system is by far inferior to what Rift had.
It used to be that you could put points into 3 different talent trees and build your class differently to other people, they removed that so I quit.
Riot is not going to make anything that will feel like a "sigificant evolution of the genre".
There really isn't much you can do with MMOs at this point. People do needs to understand that ALL MMOs comes down to going around and killing stuff one way or another. Its just a matter of fun it is.
Its weird that people haven't learned to keep their expectations in the realm of reality. People should ask for a quality MMO experience with a quality combat, instead of expecting something that is going to "reinvent the wheel". This is especially true because Riot is at its best when they spin an established thing to their liking. Riot's identity was never about uniqueness.
FFXIV would've been a much better game if it had a better combat.
WoW or BnS would've been a much better game if it had better social features and content accompanied with it.
BDO would've been a much better game if it had better group content.
They should look to fill what the big MMOs are missing instead of going after the "unique". The "unique" is a major reason why we're constantly getting trash AAA games.
So, true thats why I was hoping theyd go for the take a formula that works and make it riot, looking at valorant, 2XKO etc.
exactly, a "complete experience" if you will.
ur not wrong, riot does specialize a lot in taking established games and releasing a version that draws out the best in said games. however i also think thats also a large reason that riot wants to make this mmo truly "their own". people with actual eyes will know that riot just made as @negentropyagent7337 says "a complete experience". but people without eyes which seems to be quite a large number of degen dota wow cs and overwatch fans say: "Riot is just hard copying our popular games i have no idea why they are so popular how can they be better than our original games". and quite honestly i think that the degen opinion is being heard way more than the sensible one making riot right now having that label of being a copycat
4:36 i totally get the loyalty thing as im super loyal to FFXIV i couldnt tell you why idk really but every time i play a different mmo i just miss FFXIV and always go back
i was like that with Ragnarok Online back in the day.
Riot's most successful games:
League - DOTA with a Runeterra coat of paint
TFT - DOTA Autochess with a Runeterra coat of paint
I will forever love Necrit for being a good critic. He puts as much effort in highlighting the good things as he does in pointing out the bad things. With this, you get a much wider perspective and you can even leave the video with some kind of an optimistic feeling about the future!
"So overall what did we learn today? We learnt that nothing in our lives will change. And you just wasted your time watching this video."
Excellent
I feel like by the time the game is even remotely close to being released, so much time have passed that most if not all of the team working on it would be new people, and original vision would be distorted and changed by all the comes and goes of this truly huge company. No matter what idea they have pivoted to at the moment, in 5 years it will not be the same idea.
GUILD WARS MENTIONED 🗣️‼️ 🗣️ WHAT THE FUCK IS A VERTICAL PROGRESSION RAHHHH 💥💥💥 I LOVE BEING ABLE TO RAID AFTER A 3 YEAR BREAK
just to pitch a point, some of the biggest games ever had a similar reality when being created, the original devs of diablo didn't intend or have any want to put mouse click combat and was going for something entirely different. Only after the diablo developers got a feel for what the game could be with that direction did it turn into a hack and slash clicker, I don't think them announcing they had to scrap and restart some or all of the project is a bad take on it going forward.
I would play the crap out of something WoW-like set in Runeterra.
It's hard to think about a game taking that long to come out after being hyped for it for a good bit. I'm looking forward to having an MMO set in the LoL universe.
I still appreciate the copium videos.
"no dev ever wants too make a bad game" straight facts, and something ive been saying for years. its almost always the corporate that hold devs back, and crush them.
Ain't no way Riot MMO will be in development longer than GTA6.
I totally expected a Pantheon flying over the Immortal Bastion from the fan project at some point.
I could wait forever if they just gave us some info along the way
Honestly, I just wanna see the world and lore of Runeterra fleshed out and given life. I dont necessarily think the MMO NEEDS to be genre-defining. But I get they also want to try and appeal to a broader audience than just League degens, so...
This is exactly what I wanted though, an MMO we played before with a runeterra cote of paint and riot quality. EXACTLY what I wished for. Now we ain't getting a game for minimum of 10-15 years and I can't say im all that hyped for it anymore.
Ill love that all this info given by tryndamere its an offseason april's fool joke and the game will be announced in a couple of months.... it will be AMAZING
All I wish for is that may my grandchildren be able to play this Riot MMO one day if it comes out even and doesn't flop immediately.
I'm one of those veterans that was waiting for that geometry dash update that took 6 years, a couple years is nothing new for me.
I think more companies should "do it in silence". How many times have companies shown unfinished, early ideas just for them not to be able to include them. It just serves to put pressure on the devs and put usually unobtainable expectations.
What I'm getting from this is that Ghostcrawler had a vision for a traditional MMORPG, the higher ups didn't see it working out and thus he left and they sacked it all.
I'm glad they're taking their time to put something good out.
I REALLY hope they don't cancel this idea. I would love to play this.
funnily enough, when they said Bioware and EA, my first thought was Dragon Age, which is a fantastic fantasy world that has a lot of parallels to Runeterra
Riot MMORPG has a great potential for full dive. But we won't live long enough for that to be invented.
I wonder what that means for the dev timeline? I mean, changing your vision doesn't mean they have to throw away all their tooling and assets. I imagine they've already got chunks of the map/ towns made and just don't know what to do with it.
