Why I think the MMO genre has a problem and how gaming has conditioned players to feel they’re the main character.

Cool thumbnail mate 👍
Hopefully the nodes also decrease over time so players constantly have something to do besides pvp and pve. I know it would probably be a master crafter's dream to feel like their mats farming means something more than just making a set.
I'm the main character in all of your lives . Quality content brother !
Wait a minute…
You mean that I…TheLordofMurder…am NOT the center of the universe!????
HERESY!!!!!!!!
👹
The node system seems amazing btw…
Awesome concept and implementation by AoC…
Excellent video Nyce!
MMORPG no long means what you think. Now Penance is a totally different breed and a complete emersion back into a world where yes you can be the hero but you are going to have to earn it. I am sorry I do not agree with you here. As a creator the mechanics are not designed as you say. If you can heal yourself tend to wounds make your own potions craft your own items lets face it you are the chosen one. This idea it isnt focused on you isnt reality. The world is being advanced yes but there has to be a goal and destination. In everquest it was not this way and the never ending quest was your character itself. Lets hope for the best because more good titles is better then bad titles. In Penance you make your own name or be forgotten. The true next gen is coming but are you open to it?
I actually dream of the day when a developer makes a game focused around how you're NOT the main character and it tries to drill it into you. And your struggle is actually trying to prove the game wrong. You're just one small part of something bigger and you gotta work to make a name for yourself. I think there are tons of people out there who really need that ego check.
Great video as usual! This has been one of my biggest issues with modern mmorpgs
The video was good but that ending felt kind of abrupt 😂
I dont care about all that 🤣. I just wanna pew pew get lewtz!
I love the idea of not being the hero. Just another character, but much cooler and the one you just let do my thing because you don't know what I might do if you piss me off, but you quietly suspect I might be insane 😉 Quiet power is the best kind of power.
This is a problem irl not just gaming
I like to be an adventurer in a fantasy world. If I become a hero, that's nice but not necessary. It makes the world, though fantasy, feel more relatable
I completely agree. There is something very immersion-breaking when some NPC approaches you as if 100,000 other players haven't already saved the world 🤣
Also, it's very immersion-breaking to "save the world" but nothing in the world actually changed. I think that players are way too comfortable with this incongruity these days, but they're being ripped off and letting game developers off way too easy.
You can thank WoW for making everyone THE "Hero"
The node thing is not new nor does it typically work. AT all…
The fable music 🩵
Ashes Stan.
I think it's fine for MMOs with "main character syndrome" to exist, and a lot of them are fantastic, but I also would like to see more games with other types. I think it's wrong to say that MMOs with "MCS" are bad is wrong, though. xD
Everything ashes has put forth so far seems so interesting, hopefully the final product is still in the same vision. Guess we'll see in 2030
The problem is if you want to have PvE with important bossfights and drive players towards them, the most effective way so far has been to use the story. And if you allow players to defeat bosses that pose a massive threat in small teams of 8-15 players but doesn't recognize them as heroes after then your story isn't going to make much sense.
I think that's why the player end up as a champion or main character in most mmo even though it often doesn't start as one.
Like in wow or even ffxiv you are neither Azeroth champion nor the warrior of light when you just created your character but npcs recognize you as such later after you defeated world ending threats.
Without important threats to the world i don't think an rpg is going to be as compelling for a lot of people.
Nodes videos are still my favorite. Also if I name my character Kratos, will the world revolve around me? 🤣
Can i collect disability for main character syndrome
