Suggestion Thread: My first real MMO game

[SweetShark]

I said my first real MMO game, because I played Path of Exiles, but it doesn't count cause I was playing solo...I think.
Also I played Warframe. I guess It is an MMO, but the lack of communication made me think the other players was NPCs and it doesn't have an "open world".

So I decided to play an MMO just to kill more time from my already awesome life.

Here are some games I have in Mind to select one to start:

Wildstar
Guilt Wars 2
Firefall
Blade & Souls
Tera
Age of Conan: Unchained
Vindictus
Skyforge

If you have other suggestions for me which are similars with these games I am all ears.

Thank you and of all be awesome.

Out of those, I'd start with Guild Wars 2. Though another suggestion I can make is Star Wars: The old Republic.

As for the communication thing. Don't expect a whole lot more in proper mmo's. People tend to not be interested in chatting with strangers. They even don't say anything in dungeons if they can get away with it.

There's also Elder Scrolls: Online. I find it pretty good for what it's worth

Did they fixed the Spawning Enemies problem I heared from different critics? Also I never played a Elder Scrolls game before.

And before other users say to me "HOW DID YOU NEVER PLAYED A E.S. GAME BEFORE?!?!?!?!?", I must say I played many games they NEVER NEVER NEVER played before.
Like for example a game which three Christian Camp kids trying to survive from the presents of the Devil.
A game which you play a Space Martian Lesbian Spider-Woman, which the new version have artworks from the artist of Skullgirls.
A game which you play a game which the narrator say this is not a game.
A game which you take care a slave girl which........ok I will stop. I DIDN"T DONE SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO HER!!!!

I'd have to definitely suggest Guild Wars 2.
It is the ONLY MMO for me to get to max level (and plus).

But that was most likely out of pure determination and fan love for the game.
The most annoying aspect, is how I haven't found a Guild that I love yet. Nor do I feel any urge to do the PVP or World V World.

I HOPE to get into that once I get a better Guild, but I don't know when that'll happen.
Still, give it a go, heck, they have that free account status that doesn't sound too bad.

EDIT:
...Then I realized I'm not making the game sound good.
Well, that's just my experience so far, yours will hopefully be different.

Not sure what the spawning enemies problem was, so I can't tell. It doesn't matter if you haven't played an Elder Scrolls game before though there's a lot of lore in the game to give you an idea about what's going on. Although you may be missing out on all the references and contexts to the Elder Scrolls series

From that list the only ones I've heard good things about are Guild Wars 2 and Blade & Soul.

There's always World of Warcraft of course. I mean, it is the industry standard for a reason. Plus at this point they have a ludicrous amount of content built up. Oh, and I think you get a free trial.

Now I'll make my usual mention of Planetside 2. It's a PVP-only shooter MMO. Like Battlefield on crack. Easy communication between players with proxy chat too.

WoW still sets the bar for MMOs.

Of your list here, GW2 stands out as the clear front runner. SWTOR would probably be third, albeit a distant third. None of the rest are worth a bother.

Now I want to know which games these are ... especially the space martian one.

OT: Blade & Soul is pretty new and fun, even though a little bit dodgy and buggy. Still, I think you would be able to easily find people to play with there.
GW2 is fun (although BnS combat is better) and much bigger, but many people know so much, you could feel like you are left alone)
Tera maybe could work, although I feel like it's a bit grindy (yes, BnS is better in that regard, imo). But they are doing gender- and specieslocked classes now, which is super weird.

Others I haven't played.
You could also try WoW
SW: ToR seems to have fun singleplayer content too, but I haven't played it yet.

GW is a great game. You could always come to the dark side and become a EVE player with the rest of us.

Guild wars 2 as echoed above for sure. But from my own experience and preference, if you try and get into the whole Guild Wars 2 thing, FFXIV does all of that and more.

 

[Barbas]

You only have to pay for Guild Wars 2 once, and considering what it offers, that makes it the best option in my opinion. I'd advise against bothering with The Old Republic, as it may be free-to-play but has one of the more miserly approaches to that model.

GW2 looks and sounds beautiful, and is a joy to explore thanks to its convenient design.

SWTOR's FTP model gets a bad rap. It's not as miserly as it seems, although it appears to have been designed to give the worst possible impression of itself. EA does it again.

I like GW2 quite a lot, even though I consider it a deeply flawed game with mechanical issues baked into the foundation that can't ever be fixed without the kind of bottom up re-design that NCSoft would never finance. It's a far distant second to WoW, and I wish they'd have kept more of GW1's DNA in their design.

Honestly I cannot honestly recommend ANY MMO to you if you are just looking to get into an MMO. No matter how good of a game a given MMO might be, the solo experience is really rather lame. Even the most popular MMO WoW is hard to make friends and meet people if your not already familiar with systems and how combat works. It can be hard finding players willing to teach you how to play, or walk you through some basic questions.

However if you had a friend or two that was going to be playing with you, then any MMO you listed would work for you. I'd look up a video or two on the gameplay of each MMO and see which one appeals to you and your friends best.

But even the best MMO's can be boring and grindy if you don't have people to play with. If you insist on trying an MMO solo, visit some forums of your chosen game and ask around in the community for people willing to help you get started. This will help you choose a server and even might find you a guild to join where you can ask people advice, join groups, and make friends.

Good luck.

I'm partial to FFXIV. Dragoons ftw!

 

[The Enquirer]

While it isn't on there I'd suggest to stay away from DC Universe Online. The way the developers chose to monetize that game is very out of date. A while ago they changed it so you had to buy all the parts of existing DLC's separately. What once cost 10 dollars ended up costing over 40. They essentially forced you to subscribe for monthly payments then pay to reset loot locks on content.

I don't know how much you've heard about Wildstar, but it is intended to be a VERY difficult game. So you can't go running some content in that game with just random people, you're going to need to join a regular group of players. I believe it went free to play though so you may as well give it a shot.

I don't know an overwhelming amount about Guild Wars 2 but everything I have heard about it was positive.

Leveling as a Lancer is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring though T_T.

If you don't mind buy2play, might want to consider Black Desert Online, one interesting perk is it comes out literally tomorrow, so you can be part of the first wave of players to enter a new game, which is a great period in my opinion, because for a while almost everyone will be newbies and cluelessly running around wondering what to do together.

EVE game is the one with the spaceships right?
It is true about the FPS part of the game? EVE Dusk without Google it just to test my knowledge.
I would prefer this kind of game.

Yes, I know Black Desert from before, but I didn't knew it come tommorow. Maybe I will buy if there isn't any kind of well-known Launch problem.
But yes, the game is f*cking beautiful.
