I hope they go heavy into vertical scale for the world. (Mount Targon, Zaun, Piltover, Freljord) Take inspiration from GW2, WildStar and Final Fantasy XIV for jump puzzles and verticality.
Honestly I would love it if the riot MMO's world had a wayyyy more realistic scape compared to wow. while technically WOW had two very detailed continent, the scale was really small, entire kingdoms would only be 3 or 4 cities large (and by cities I mean 5 houses with questgivers, with the exception of capital cities). I would honestly be fine if we only get the northern continer (even without freljord) if it means this continent would be 2 or 3 times bigger than wow's.
Agreed! They could also add smaller cities and towns to break up the areas between Demacia and Noxus. It's also basically a warzone in between them, lots of exciting landscapes to do with just these two capitals.
A sense of scale would be very nice and fitting. WoW probably couldn't reach that level of technicality during it's time. But we have SSDs and way more advanced engines that could creat dense and sprawling environments now. I hope the cities are large and occupied while the spaces in between them are vast and filled with creatures and secrets.
yea i feel like the way necrit put it is a great example that id be fine with, start with one region and then as every exspansion comes out build the world with a new region. every region is fucken massive on its own
@@TobiNano lowkey, although kinda unrealistic, it would be so awesome if there was faction pvp of some kind, of different factions and stuff although idk how you would realistically do that would not piss off the community that hard and still be good
Just a couple of screen shots of the art style in terms of zone design and character design is all im after. That alone will tell me if Im interested or not in the longer term
The thing about the MMO and Fighting game is that people are expecting them to be the savior of those genre and i think they will be great additions that will force some stagnant groups holding the genre back into moving forward but there is a good chance they end up being like LoR. Games that do good in there own right, never completely out of the picture, people know about it and Riot will dump money into them so they will never sink into obscurity but no one goes out of their way to spread how great it is
Judging by Riot inviting multiple people over and having them sign NDA's i think it's safe to assume they have moved to the next stage of development, whether it is production phase or the testing phase i couldnt say.
I think they are probably editing or curating the interview before it comes out. They are going to do like they did to Kanon with the Ghostcrawler interview.
imagine if they use the chatbot tech where npc's are chatbots trained on the character's lore and you can speak with them using your mic, not predetermined lines. they are generative agents that move and communicate with each other (and you) through the world and grow and remember their interactions/events that happen. and the speech has gotten so good all the voice actors will have to do is record a base set and the npc can say anything using that actor's voice. ill be running through the forests of Ionia looking for Ahri if you need me.
I didnt even take into account NPC chatbot tech integration. Shit could ACTUALLY be groundbreaking. I can imagine GTA 6 actually doing this in the near future with how much AI is allegedly being utilized in that game.
8:07 thats a hot take given on my opinion of being a player of dragon nest for a long time and the fact that theres no game i can think of that plays like dragon nest on a 3rd person action mmo
I'm sure they will release the interview with Necrit at some point. Now how many weeks or months will pass is another story. I hear ghostcrawler mention transparency in his new role outside riot quite frequently. That makes me think riot limited talking about the game heavily. As a player I want to feel part of the process. Throw on a in construction of the process and involve players do you like option A or option B and implement that type of feedback. I'm so hyped for this to release hopefully in 1-2 years.
Gonna be honest with addons, Blizzard strongly regretted addons in WoW, because it caused them to have to design raid mechanics around addons. Bosses were getting so difficult that it was impossible for regular/casual players to play due to it.
if riot does anything right its gameplay. no matter how shit the balance how boring the items ill always come back for that buttery smooth movement and feel of playing the champs i like
Riot pls lift the Necrit's NDA alreadyy. I can't take it anymoore. I need more info. Thank you for providing us in the meantime, spun. Imma sub to you for smore copium.

@@symphonixblades Good point. They're gonna want Asmon if they want some sort of attention without giving away too much. Hoping for at least something to talk about for the next coming months. Damn I can't wait for those NDA lifts
Spun, have you seen Black Desert's combat? Do you think the League MMO might be similar to it, or do you think it might go above and beyond that, or in some other fashion?
@@oheyspun Good to know. I personally think it might be a little less combo-heavy. BDO was a lot of fun with my Kunoichi, but the amount of combos I had to memorize was hard on my finger muscles. Had to stop before I got really bad arthritis haha.
@@sgt.squeegee1720 imo i think it might be based on the classes you pick (if there are any) my guess it'll be more about weaving skills rather than comboing off
I HIIIIIIIGHLY doubt that we'll get both continents on release. Gettin Demacia/Noxus and +1 (Ionia/PiltoverZaun/Freljord) to that would already be pretty overwhelming narrative/story based. We have a lot of mage shit going on in Demacia and Kayle/Morgana being able to start slowly teasing and building up for the first time the Void threat or Darkins via Targon connection (via their mother maybe), Noxus with the build up to the Morde raid at least and a lot of political stuff which then could actually lead to the new territories (PiltoverZaun/Ionia), and Freljord with the first possible serious raid Void encounter (to then move the story to "How do we deal with this world ending threat, what do we do" and going to Shurima/Icathia/Targon for the information in the future dlcs) and 3 clans to explore. Not to mention how many champions these regions have and not doing them justice will make the mains salty af. These territories alone have insane potential for the story-building and narrative. People WOULD want an entire dlc about piltover/zaun after Arcane. I think we should expect a long 10years "ff14+5dlcs" style of narrative to tell the story properly (releasing all the locations and then moving to Camavor) but much more deeper and interesting with a lot of gray morale (like Arcane, but maybe not as quality as Arcane though, too hard) and not a "YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE/WARRIOR OF LIGHT" ff14 story, but a lot of great runeterra fighters (us) among lol champions vs the world-ending threats. Make it more realistic, pragmatic, grounded fantasy world. Kinda WoW but with much better writing lol. And don't push focus too much on the lol champions, make us feel being a great part of it too. Riot's mmo could actually be even better than ff14 story wise. Depends on riot to deliver. So, ye, if the game releases, having Demacia/Noxus/Freljord/PiltoverZaun/Ionia alone at the start would already be immensely overwhelming imo. Not to mention how many interesting places for locations/dungeons and stuff these regions might have too.
I actually hope they won't release the entire map at once. They don't need to so why do it? The game's gonna be popular enough without them and no one's actually going to miss being a shuriman warrior when we can get the game way earlier because we didn't have to wait for the whole entire world to be finished. And as a bonus we'll have something to look forward to in the future :) Money doesn't fix everything, the more content there is the more watered down the game is gonna be (or be designed by designers who aren't as talented) and the longer the release will take. Give us 3 good well crafted zones and let me iiiiiiinnnnn. Quality over quantity every day of the week. Mortdog has said it with a game as simple as TFT (compared to an mmo) live many many times: money can't fix everything in development.
If they do, at the very least make it stand alone like BDO mobile. A game that's not a port but designed separately with their own servers for people who can't afford a pc but want to play.
I agree, "optimizing the fun out of games" in general really sucks for me. But when it is included it feels almost necessary. I doubt they will do much more than allowing dps meters and a web api. *fingers crossed*
tbh i just hope we get something like lost ark without all the grindy/homework he have like everything from lost ark in term of enjoyement almost perfect and can easily fit in the riot mmo (combat/event/skin/raid/pvp...) the only downside in lost ark come from the homework and heavy farm you have to do almost everyday but i think riot dsnt have to stick with that and can just take whats good from it and work around it to give us probably one of the best mmo ever released but well already been 3 years and all we got since now was bad news about the team... so i dont know if i can stay hyped for it or just expect the worst
@@lublin10000 tab targeting suck... no one like those nowadays you just act like a pole and spam the same key in a macro... and action combat fit league playstyle even more if they want to add a pvp mode...
I just hope it's not the same old leveling up system we've seen again and again; go here from level 1-4 then here from 4-7 then... and also you have no reason at all to come back to these places.
I think they mean that the combat espect will be fun and satisfying even if it's the only thing you'll do for thousands of hours. Kinda like Elden Ring or Sekiro, I suppose? Difficulty aside, those games probably has the most engaging action RPG combat system at least for me. From the weight of the attacks to hit feedback to crunchy sound designs and flashy skill animations. It'll be a bitch to make for sure. But I'm still not bored of ER solely because of it's combat system. I hope Riot captures that spirit in their own way.
You're new here, I see. Grab a drink, lean back, quit your job, say good bye to relationships and get ready to watch the years pass while you chase larger virtual numbers :)
I don't necessarily think I would want them to include a huge amount of content at the start. With mmos, every expansion is a beta test for the next expansion. To be successful, it seems that you want your first release to include the base elements that you believe makes your mmo unique and interesting, and then listen to what the playerbase enjoys. Just because you have the money and resources to inject into creating as much stuff as possible, it doesn't mean that you should. It's way harder to predict what is going to succeed in the long term, and there are so many variables in it. Looking at the most successful mmos, you can see that they all have their own niches, so while it's in the nature of mmos to cater to many different activities, they all do certain things better than the rest. Wow does structured pve well. GW2 does open world well. Warframe does action combat well. Destiny 2 has the niche of good FPS. FFXIV does story well. ESO is apparently good at something. Of course they are not limited to these things, and it's more nuanced, and if we look at SWTOR, they never really found their identity. They had exceptional story character development in their vanilla form, and I would even say that they expanded on it pretty well, but somewhere I think they fell behind in terms of gameplay, choosing to focus on very cinematic cut scenes and Mass Effect-esque story. Before I get lost in the weeds too much more, I just think that they should find a balance between investments and leaving room to grow - you don't want to "spend" all your lore in the first few years if you want to last for decades. Someone smarter than me could probably write something more eloquent ':D
I counter that I would definitely hope for as much content as possible, and as fast as possible. Without content, players quit. Usually, every time you force your players to hit a wall of "Now you wait 1 or 2 years for the next expansion" your peak players shrinks, and shrinks, and shrinks. MMOs need sustainable and vast content offerings, or they (in most cases) devolve into end-game players complaining about lack of content, and the vast majority of players that have moved onto the next unsustainable MMO's lifecycle.
@@KonglomeratYTyou have to understand that the MMO WILL attract newbies and people who have most likely never played an MMO before. If anything, they should probably take it slow and build up on core elements of the MMO. The surge of content can come later, they have plenty of stuff to take from the lore enough to hopefully last a decade.
Whatever Riot does, it will be good as long as it's 1. Different, we have too much of the same thing, and too many reiterations of the same types of games. If it is doing to be similar to current MMORPGs I hope they do not copy WoW and they copy GW2 and ESO because they have innovative features that keep people playing together. 2. It has to be PVP based. All of their other games are based on PVP and they're wildly successful because of this. They've effectively stolen the action PVP player base away from most games. As long as they follow that blueprint it will work.
One of my biggest hopes for the Riot MMO, outside of it just being good, is that they don't make the same mistake that games like SWTOR and FFXIV did. And that specific mistake, to me, is disallowing addons. To clarify, I don't just mean this in reference to things like meters, but other fun stuff. An example would be TRP3 in WoW, which lets roleplayers (and non-roleplayers) make detailed character profiles - something I really enjoy the existence of!
If you're talking about mobile then I would understand. Though it has a lot of potential and could run MMOs with good graphics, it's always marred by greedy practices. The question is, what if Riot, a company known for it's fair business model is the one who makes it instead of some greedy asian company and/or Blizzard. Could it work?
@@hamsterdorifto3194crossing with mobile? Really dont see anything wrong with that? U cant play a pc game with phone they ll make us play a mobile game with pc
@@Mercanertesi Genshin has decent gameplay and a massive map. Too bad it's a gacha lol basically another form of p2w. I don't think Riot would ruin people's experiences like that. If anything mobile mmos ticks me off because of their artificial time sink through auto-grind. BDO mobile has legit good gameplay, graphics and customization. But yeah.. auto-grind and p2w.

The best thing to ever happen to ff14 was the lack of addons. It's disgusting, game breaking and a literal chore when addons get out of control.
It will be a mobile mmo with auto-combat and auto-quest, with p2w micro-transactions.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
tf is project T?
I got a vid about it 😎
I hope it's not another WoW rip-off
dang i hope they dont do what genshin do, dogshit arpg then calling it mmorpg lol
I can't get over the Cross Platform bullshit so my expectation rate dropped by 70%.
whats wrong with that
If you're talking about mobile then I would understand. Though it has a lot of potential and could run MMOs with good graphics, it's always marred by greedy practices. The question is, what if Riot, a company known for it's fair business model is the one who makes it instead of some greedy asian company and/or Blizzard. Could it work?
@@hamsterdorifto3194crossing with mobile? Really dont see anything wrong with that? U cant play a pc game with phone they ll make us play a mobile game with pc
@@Oryyyt yes i m really frightened that they ll make a genshin impact.
@@Mercanertesi Genshin has decent gameplay and a massive map. Too bad it's a gacha lol basically another form of p2w. I don't think Riot would ruin people's experiences like that. If anything mobile mmos ticks me off because of their artificial time sink through auto-grind. BDO mobile has legit good gameplay, graphics and customization. But yeah.. auto-grind and p2w.
First!
i hope it isnt action combat.
