What's an MMO that looks beautiful and has great combat while being completely open world with Vindictus tier fighting? No, Black Desert Online is too grindy and plain looking with cancerous lightning effects, there's also no real story other than what looks to be computer generated dialogue. GW2 is out of the question as I've already finished everything in it.

I just started playing BDO and was going to recommend that but I'll lurk here instead.

They literally had an event recenty where they handed you an entire set of FULL BOSS End Game gear for leveling to 60. The hell are you talking about.
really? you're playing that shit after they added dumb fatigue system to an game that's like 10 years old?! You're insane man.
Jacob Adams
None
Adrian Parker
This. The game is 10 years old now yet I still go back to it cause I enjoy the gameplay.
Juan Morales
You're looking for blade and soul.

I'd like to know too OP. Avoiding the obvious tranny mmos like wow and xiv.

What's with that ground texture? Everything else looks pretty good, and it's so jarring looking between the textures on everything around it compared to the grass

TERA still has good action combat for an MMO. Leveling is a bit too fast and they throw a lot of abilities at you faster than you can learn them. Graphic wise it looks like every other Korean MMO. The studio is going under so you better play now before it's gone.

What is the best mmo for pvp Zig Forums?

TERA being TERA. They struggled to compromise between graphics and performance based around average hardware when the game came out in 2011/12. So scenes tend to be a mixed bag of stuff that looks great, and other stuff that looks ass to compensate so it runs smoother overall.
What you want doesn't exist. Maybe Elyon (weird fusion of BDO and TERA) or something will fill your needs when it arrives, but as MMOs go the genre is stagnant and dead, and the investment and passion required to progress the genre meaningfully won't materialize any time soon.

>TERA being TERA.
That's fair, the early 2010s were a lawless land and it's impressive that it came out looking as good as it did.
Sebastian Roberts
the leveling wasn't always that fast i remember some years ago that i actually knew which abilities i've gotten. Now everytime i find a skill teacher i have to buy like 30 new abilities

Funnily enough the most exploration I've seen out of any sort of MMO creator is a private server taking WoW and giving it a classless system and overhauled character system

XIV is pretty great, and it has a free trial up to level 60 + Heavensward

There's currently this mmo on sale on Steam, something which apparently has a pokemon like system, Astellia? Has ANYONE played it? I've never heard it released

I've been playing RuneScape on my second screen while I play other games on monitor 1, and I was having such a blast that I just started playing only RuneScape

MMOs are stagnant because internet sucks everywhere. Until internet gets better in the west cookie cutter Korean MMOs are going to dominate.
That being said, what happened to MMOs happened to RTS games where they split off into MOBAs and grand strategy. For exploration you've got a hundred Witchers and Horizon Zero Dawns where the world maps are packed with crumbs of content. For partying up and boss fights you've got games like the Souls series and Monster Hunter where they scale down the number of players to increase the quality of combat.

I bought Astellia on launch in the US. Played for a bit, it's alright. The UI and general combat is clunky but the doll system or whatever it was called was neat. I didn't feel too bogged down by p2w crap even though it's there.
I don't see it ever becoming massive but it's worth a play if you like the genre, just don't go in expecting a whole lot.
Zachary Ross
fair enough
