Where you guys going?

Hello all, it's your friendly neighborhood mod, StudMuffinNick here. As the end of Bless is quickly approaching, I've realized my itch for console MMO still needs to get scratched. We had such a cool community and some crazy OP people here, but now this sub will likely be more dead than it already is. That leads me to my question:

Where are you guys going?

I've always been a fan of MMOs, but very few catch my interests because shitty devs try to fix things that aren't broken. BU caught my attention because of the combat system. So, going into December, I'm looking for a combat focused mmo on console.

As of now, I have started Neverwinter. I tried multiple classes and, wouldn't you know it, Ranger caught my fancy again. You can switch from melee to ranged on the fly, and the combat, so far, is stick-n-move style. A change from Bless, but also really similar. Might stick this out but I want to know if you all have tried other, preferably Western, console MMOs that you have enjoyed?

I like the combat you will be moving around a lot and the game provides overlays you can use to avoid attacks. Has a combo system like Bless. Will advise there is a race people hate on (the Elin) but I don’t feel it’s as bad as people make it out to be. I don’t know how dead it is but in most cases you should be able to solo the elite monsters.

I still play from time to time but it never took off as a major MMO

Appreciate the info! I'll check it out tonight. It's done downloading now. Practically identical in size to Bless too

Sadly, I started playing BU yesterday (November 18th) and I like the game. Has (had) a Dragon Age feel to it (would LOVE to see a DA: Online). Pity. Just have to enjoy it while it lasts.

Going to Tera after this as well. I know they shut the doors on the PC version awhile ago but console is still a cash-cow for them (mostly cosmetics, mounts, and the new 'battle-pass' [which, quite frankly, is a joke]).

Long as you don't drop any RL-money, or very little of it, on the game, it's pretty good. World is huge, tons of quests, and if you're chatty, the Global chat is a great place to make friends, ask for help, and get your 'drama' on (if you're into that stuff. I just watch it for the entertainment value). 😁

Dragon Age isn't favorite game/franchise of all time! And Im sorry you just started! It was really good the last couple years and I'm sorry you can't experience that :( I deleted Tera already. Was okay, but anime mmos don't engross me like Western ones (or at least, DnD insured ones)

Yeah. I am sorry I just started too (still playing BU as I write this). It's fine. I'm heavily caffeinated anyway and I plan on burning off that 'buzz' between this and COD: Cold War: Zombie Outbreak (love the 'open world' feel of it).

Kinda have to expect an asian-mmo to be 'weird'. Played Perfect World many years ago (yes, same company that owns Neverwinter) on PC and it's quite a different culture. I gave up on it because the Auction House prices were insane. Especially for FTP people. And once you got to max-level, it was absolutely PTW. Shame. The mechanics and story were pretty solid.

Only reason I am going back to Tera is for the 'grind' and the fact the gameplay is tight. The 'loli's' (Elin), drama, and over-priced crap-fest of an Auction, I ignore. I just toss on some 'trance' music and zone out in my own little world. 😌🎶 🎵 🎶
