If a dream MMO were to combine the best features of all games – what would come out of it?
Most MMOs have at least one aspect that stands out particularly strongly. For example, Star Wars: The Old Republic has a captivating story, TERA has an action-packed, exciting combat system, and World of Warcraft has an incredible amount of content that has accumulated over the years. However, often these individual points are not enough for a game to truly keep players engaged for a long time. One often thinks: “Wouldn’t it be great if Game X would adopt this or that feature from Game Y?”
As an example: Some players, like our boss, desire a significantly more dynamic combat system for the world of Star Wars: The Old Republic, similar to that of TERA. This is especially exciting for melee fighters and would fit particularly well with wielding lightsabers.
That’s why our question this week is: Which MMO combo would create the perfect mix for you?
Cortyn says: As you might expect from me, the foundation for my perfect MMO crossover would be World of Warcraft. The scope, game world, story, and the sheer number of “small” things to do in the game (pet battles, achievements, toys) are what comprise the core for me.
The second part I would steal from WildStar, which in my opinion still has some of the best gameplay systems to date. The much more action-oriented combat system would fit excellently into World of Warcraft. In WildStar, (almost) every ability was a skill shot, and players had to remain in constant motion. Additionally, I would take the limitless freedom of WildStar’s housing system, where you could freely rotate, resize, and place thousands of objects as desired.
The combination of these features from WoW and WildStar would constitute my personal dream MMO!
But enough about me, let’s talk about you! Which MMO combo would you like to see most? Which attributes should be combined?
Last week we wanted to know from you if you are as bad with the gamepad as our Jürgen…
