>it forces you to make friends
people already has/have dont know lol their group of friends/cliques and hang out on discord

>>63345
>people already have their cliques and hang out on discord
Yes. That's one of the aforementioned problems I alluded to earlier. This is a game model where traditional loners are forced to socialize and to form their own cliques constantly, and maybe they can even integrate with the day-0 discord cliques in a natural way. I think you could even make a daring game design choice to intentionally randomize spawn points of first time players to disincentivize day 0-grouping and incentivize organic socializing, but I understand that could be a very polarizing feature.

To facilitate this, you need to actually give people good tools for spontaneous chit-chat with strangers. I think it's mainly a UI/UX problem you need to fix
>chat bar is bigger and not scrunched up to the far left corner with awful 1px serif font
>chat bar integrates with game primitives and can do useful hyperlinks to UI actions
>maybe even proximity voice chat

I think the game should be played (when first time on the mmo) alone to discover the world and the game and mechanics. to this I have an idea, making a quest to help the new players and after that quest done ,he can go make a group and go beat some monsters together.
sorry if I missread your post

>>63347
>sorry if I missread your post
I mean, your idea is not congruent with the idea that I posted but your idea is your idea and also valid

What I'm trying to get at is that there's so much boring busywork in most MMOs which I want cut down to 0. The dogma says you have to spend a mandatory >= 100 hours on leveling trash mobs that pose 0 threat before you can get to the actual "fun" part which are endgame raids. It's a very stupid game model and that's why any person that respects their own time just doesn't play MMOs. But it shouldn't have to be like that, because MMOs DOES have draws that isn't just doing pointless busywork, yet very few MMOs that I know of capitalize on them. Get them in the thick of grouping right away. Challenge their brain and get the adrenaline right at the first encounter. It isn't a way to casualize the game - it should still have a slow-burn leveling, but make the slow-burn leveling MEANINGFUL.

The game also doesn't have to dump a billion active skills and complex mechanics on you at the start for this, either. It can ramp up. But it's better to have the "ruleset/win conditions" progressively get more advanced than for the difficulty to go from 0 to 100 - there should always exists a very real possibility for failure even as you're learning the game.

It's this difficulty that makes social interactions spark. Maybe you group together as a bunch of lvl1s and finally beat the slimes together - that builds report and maybe leads to a friendship that lasts for weeks, maybe even months or years.

Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record and repeating myself. It's just so frustrating how clear I can visualize my dream game yet I know it will never be made because I feel like nobody else is at the same wavelength as me here, neither the game publishers nor my fellow gamers.
>The MMO veterans will have a meltdown if they can't solo all the leveling completely asocial listening to a podcast or second monitoring anime in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
>The non-MMO veterans don't give a shit and already have their singleplayer and/or lobby games they enjoy
I just want to make friends, man

>>63348
I also have a MMO dream game that will never be. hope you'll find a MMO that ressemble your idea and make good companions on that game👍

The only ones you NEED to play are 6 and 7. Then if you like those you can branch out to the other ones.

>>62437
>>62437
I feel like 7 is overrrated

>>62438
Agreed. But its still a decent game tbh. I rate it kinda high, it has more world building than FF4 for example.

FF4 for the DS is really good tho, hardmode by default, graphics are a bit similar to Yoshitaka Amano's official FF art.

>>60006
if you are only going to play one game, FF5

if you plan on playing several games i think FF4 is the best place to start. First atb game, simple combat/character building. Fantastic adventure but harder to play later down the road. FF9 is also a good starting point.

wizchan would benefit greatly from having the FF8 schizo here. today i remembered that the city of esther is named after the technologist clan in mage the acension

>>62437
6 has terrible gameplay without the BNW hack. Fantastic adventure, story, characters, aesthetic and music. BNW patch makes the gameplay match the rest of its core parts.

>and you absolutely can run
super compressed, sure.

Yeah, but most cloud providers also use quantized models for the same reasons.
So if you opt to use local models hosted by some company, always check this. If they don't explicitly mention the weights they're hosting, there's a big chance their 70B is quantized to hell and is barely better than a full precision 8B.

is there a way to use ChatGPT anonymously?

I am stuck on spicy chat. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

the bot wants me to submit, I don't see what I do as submission, I see it as exploration. I really need to switch servers.

>>62258
yeah it seems that the game is just fan service for /dsg/, it's like an official Nexus mod.

>>62259
this is one of the worst froms idea ever according to me. maybe the game will be a success who knows

ER is coming to switch 2 lmo

Is horse archer a viable build for outdoors encounters?

>>63265
what's the goal?

Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia its good game to try

>>62325
0. Chibitami's flash games were haha fun

1. well… Komahou Densetsu aka Stranger's Requiem was great

>>62325
Touhou Double Focus is a charming Metroidvania game with Aya and Momiji as playable characters, I had fun playing it back in the day, it is worth a try

>>63272
additional info: #1 is Metroidvania-genred


#0 can be found on archive.org, I suppose - they play Flash games in Ruffle

This one's a lot of fun

The only games that matter for discussing any kind of overall plot are 1-4, since those are the only games made by Team Silent before everything got outsourced.
>All the protagonists did something at some point that haunts them and Silent Hill forces them to face their demons.
See, like this was something unique to Silent Hill 2 that the later games that were outsourced to other developers just ripped off, so people think it's something inherent to Silent Hill itself.

what's your favorite silent hill?

>>63220
I'm really partial to the ideas in 4 just not the game. Creating the safe space and making it increasingly hostile and unnerving. Amazingly creepy enemy design. The revisiting of spaces a second time making you dread going back and them being even more hostile the second time. Those ideas are solid. They're just not executed well and that's apparent.

I tried playing the remake but it ran so bad on my PC it was not worth playing at all. Then I tried playing the original but got filtered hard by the controls. Been thinking of trying 3 tho.

Is Silent Hill f any good? Setting it in 1960s Japan makes it feel weird to me.

Front Mission 3, god i love this game.

>>61825
i know it's an unpopular opinion but i liked the first one a lot more. the gameplay is simple, too simple perhaps but i never felt like dropping it like i did multiple times with 3 (i got bored after fighting the farmers in indonesia or something). the dismount and capture stuff feel superflous, and the limited party size is a massive downgrade. the first game had a much more compelling cast and story too.

MasterCard has just shut your game down.

Priceless.

I wonder if you'll enjoy the Need For Speed: Abu-Dami Drift :)

BUMP FOR GENUINE GAIETY-INDUCING PUN

Fun fact.

If you look up "collective snout", Bing gives you "collective shout". Guess the sarcastic moniker can fly under the radar…

>>60656
Why the fuck wizchan is even getting indexed by search engines? Why don't you fix robots.txt? I see it is not set to reject all crawlers

>>60661
That bot you mentioned as second has opened a spam thread just two days ago

>>60661
Fucking retard logic. "some bots dont respect robots.txt, so lets just outright tell bots that we *want* to be indexed".

Try diving into the world of DOS games then, heh.

Look through Archive.org for a "MMCD" disk from 1990s
