So, raiding MMOs.

Niyumi··1 votes·718 views

I tried to get back into GW2, and while it's my favorite MMO combat hands down, it just feels like there's nothing to do. Coupled with the fact that no one lets me play the classes I enjoy (despite pulling comparable or higher DPS / whatever)... I just can't have fun. Fractals are fun the first few times, and then they get old. The raids aren't really challenging or unique at all, and people are so God damned afraid of the content.

I tried a couple times to get into FFXIV, but the combat is just too braindead and too slow for me to really enjoy. I love everything else about the game though, but I just burn out so fast.

And then there's WoW. I played WoW since it originally launched way back in 2004, and quit when WoD launched. Came back for Legion, had fun for a while, but eventually burned out. The combat just isn't the same when most classes are now about two buttons.

I don't know. What MMO is worth playing for the raiding anymore?

I really enjoyed Archeage for a long time, but unless you get decent gear and a good to dominating guild you won't exactly get into challenging PVE raiding.

PvP's a different thing though.

I tried SWTOR before, and it just wasn't all that fun for me. The combat is too clunky and slow. Felt like a less polished version of WoW with a Star Wars skin on it. :P

For the longest time, I've been trying to get back to my good o' MMORPG days but haven't located one really worth investing my "feelings".

I'm tuning in on this thread because I'm also quite curious to see what raiding MMO people even play these days, too. Or is it all about small groups or even solo and pvp now? Hopefully not.

Same here. Before I found League to occupy me, I was a super heavy MMO player, and I loved raiding. I played WoW from Vanilla launch to WoD, but then I quit, since my favorite classes had become two buttons. I game hopped for a while, trying various MMOs, and ended up playing Wildstar for a while. Then it died off, and I was gameless again -- that's when I found League. But, I'm starting to burn out on League, and I want to get into an MMO again, but I can't find one I'm actually happy with.

Some people tell me GW2 has the best PVE hands down, some people tell me FFXIV raids are above and beyond, and some people tell me WoW is still just the overall best MMO out there. I've played all of them recently, I just don't know where to go.

I am playing a bit of Neverwinter.

The classes there are really interesting in terms of powers. I still don't raid but even outside of heavy content you get to use most of your mechanics to avoid getting thrown down and overpowered by enemies.
