#Tarisland #Taris621
Recently, I was asked by Tencent to take a look at their most recently launched MMO, Tarisland. And after playing the game for a good chunk of time, I think I've finally wrapped my head around it.
What are my feelings about the game? Let's just say...we need to talk.

Tencent is not making this game - they're not making any games because they're not a development studio. This game is published by Tencent. So is League of Legends, ArcheAge, PUBG mobile, and others. They're mostly an investment corpo and a pretty good one at that because eof their relatively hands off approach. They have stakes (often majority) in many companies you probably heard of or whose products you even like - GGG (80%), Epic Games (40%), Riot Games (100%), Ubisoft (5%), Activision-Blizzard (5%), Supercell (84.3%), Paradox Interactive (5%), Sharkmob (100%) and many many others and not jus limited to video games. The game is still shit, I'm just setting the record straight.

I was curious about that too, but when I actually got to the “bad” part - the criticism was mostly directed at the voice acting, and translations from Chinese to English not being 100% correct… I don’t know about you guys but personally I don’t care about the voices of NPC’s or if they call me character a “he” when it’s a “she” To me, the important part is that the game is fluid, PvP is balanced and PvE is entertaining. Which it is. And the fact that the game advises you during raids or dungeons when to dodge or to nuke adds etc, is great? I personally cant think of anything more frustrating than a raid wipe because of that 1 out of all 10 people in your group is a dummy. Repeated failures and a team disbanding because you rather have them “reading up on the boss prior to the fight” or “downloading a separate add on (like Deadly Boss modes or whatsitsname) like you had in World of Warcraft… So if you actually take the time to play through the video you’ll probably agree that most of his concerns will likely not be any of your own.. I’m actually starting to think that these negative reviews are mainly happening because it’s “trendy” to hate on the newly released MMORPG, rather than legitimate concerns. Like P2W, OP classes, bad game design, graphics or player community game development which actually affects the gameplay experience… I’ve played it for a few days now, haven’t paid a penny and to me it’s a great game. Generally topping the dps charts and doing well in both BGs & Arena. 10/10 would recommend, and 100% agree that there are some improvements which could make the game better, but that’s far from saying it’s not already good. Give it a go, or don’t, up to you of course but honestly best you can do is make your own opinion based of your own experiences

Because companies DO try to do that. After all it's one of the reasons sponsorships are required to be disclosed. So we're informed of any potential bias the sponsored may have. But we see here that Lemon has no bias. He tells us straight up. "This video game has a ton of issues, the bad outweighs the good, and it might work as a beginner MMO if they fix those issues." which tbh lbr we all know they aren't. And the good, as Doomsday also mentioned, aren't uh...great good points. Definitely not enough to really carry a game.

I'll be honest, the biggest "WTF" Red flag for me was that the open world enemies were completely worthless outside of quests lol. The reason I fell in love with my first MMO (FFXI) was because the open world was /everything/. Enemies were scary, the Notorious Monsters you could find, exploration was rewarding if not at least satisfying and rewarding. An MMO with a complete lack of discovery just seems like a horrid idea. No gear/weapon skin changing outside of cash shop also seems horrid, cosmetics is the real endgame of most MMOs and I guess they knew that which is why its all behind a pay wall, but sh*t even "Cosmetics: The Game" MMOs tend to always have visible changes tied to their armors and weapons, with premium cosmetics just being a flare above the rest. All in all this game looks... Tencent, and 'mobile'.

Great vid Lemon! I have to say though, that the game including warnings of raidboss skills/attacks/description of mechanics is the same thing as it including the dps and threat meters when you are a healer. (as in most people would just use addons/read the wiki anyways instead of experimenting and learning [it would be great if using these systems were optional though]) On a conceptual level I understand why they did this. If you think of World of Warcraft and its addons and the way people use them then it is evident this game clearly took inspiration, and decided to integrate a lot of the functions that people add to wow with addons. I have not seen people play wow, and do serious raids without some sorts of warning addons, mechanic alerts, consulting strategy guides beforehand etc etc. I think in our pursuit of optimization in mmos we have long since abandoned the player discovery aspect of most content as only a small percentage of very committed players get to feel the joy of discovery, the rest of the playerbase expects everyone to read the guides of these committed players. I am not saying that it is a good or a bad thing that this game includes systems like this. I just wanted to say that conceptually it is appropriate for the game to integrate all of these core/basic supplementary addon systems if it decided to integrate any of them. The other points I made lead down rabbitholes of thoughts that would make my comment even longer. Thanks to everyone who read this far and have a nice day!

something you said about the skill choices reminded me of an old MMO called "Rift", by Trion Software. their main selling point was the ability to choose 3 sub-classes, called "souls", then mix and match them to make unique characters. BUT, all skills have power levels based on HOW MANY SKILL POINTS YOU HAVE IN THE SAME SOUL! so, the ONLY effective way to set up ANY character is to max out ONE soul, leaving you with just enough points to add, AT MOST, 3 low-level skills from other souls. my personal favorite was the "Chloromancer", a mage that can also cast healing spells.

I see the hate for tencent so maybe it's just them, but do all mmo's look like mobile games? I've noticed it with others but idk who makes them

@bloodalchemy Ай бұрын

Tencent is the worst kind of mobile game company. There are a lot of MMO'S that look good. This isn't an MMO, it's a cash grab.

@SailorMusicCat Ай бұрын

It greatly depends on the mmo. I certainly wouldn't say ffxiv looks like a mobile game. Or World of Warcraft, despite not playing that one in forever.

@maromania7 Ай бұрын

Nope. Only the ones made to be played primarily on mobile, which doesn't describe most of them. But does describe many things Tencent touches.

Hey, someone who works in QA here (not for this game or even company but still). QA (LQA in case of translation errors) most likely filed the tickets for most of the issues. If I had to guess, the devs didn't fix them because of time and/or priority constraints

Interesting review and I agree with most of it. A few points I’d add: The raids, dungeons etc with the voice saying what to do, I believe, is to avoid people getting third party add ons that do the same thing. For people who don’t want it I think they should add the option to turn it off. I should note that the voice over does not spell out each mechanic and people 100% can and do die on harder raids if they don’t know what to do. The clothing always looking the same was accurate and clearly this is yo encourage the purchase of outfits however there are done free outfits that can be gained and if the choice to pay for clothing that gives no advantage by way of stats allows a game to be mostly free to play… its a trade off I can accept. The energy system while crafting is a huge problem which is once again here to encourage spending unfortunately this one has an effect on your power as crafting is how most get gold which is what will be used to buy upgrades such as gems. There are also the upgrades that you can craft which are hampered by the energy system. People can by the special currency and sell it for gold and then buy everything they need which gives a bonus as well. The bonuses won’t help in PvP but do help when doing dungeons. If you want to be invited into the best challenge raids you’d better have the best everything,(most updated gear, runes, gems etc). A huge issue will be the longevity of the game… new players will get accelerated xp to catch up in level but will be way behind in crafting, gear etc. The issue is that while they will have the necessary level to do the latest raids and dungeons, they will lack the power to do so and unless you’d like to fail over and over, most will kick them from a team they’re putting together to take on the dungeon/raid. They will need to figure out a more effective method for new players to catch up. I played for awhile and was always the top dps on every team I joined but ultimately quit because the content couldn’t keep up and there was nothing for me to look forward to. They need to add something more that builds excitement and anticipation for the future and gives players a reason to keep playing… gaining a few stats isn’t good enough.
