      False. Koreans are pretty ok with NCSoft and that's their primary target market and to the distain of Westerners. Now they tried something different by thinking for the western audience and it resulted on pissing off both audiences.

As you heard in this video, the first beta of the game was auto-everything with the shittiest combat ever seen in an MMO. They weren't catering to westerners or koreans or literally anyone, and they only got rid of the auto-play and slightly improved the combat because they got such a terrible reaction to it and they realized nobody would play the game at launch if they didn't.

    If the game has wider appeal globally and severely tones down the P2W, I wouldn't be surprised that its revenue numbers were lower than the competition in Korea. This is fine as long as it's enough to tide them over and keep the investments going through the global release.

    • @Daktyl198
      @Daktyl198 Před 4 měsíci +5

      AFAIK, the P2W is actually severely limited already compared to most MMOs (especially korean ones). The market is powered by premium currency, but there is only like 1 actual "buff" in the store that you can buy for money, and it's not a buff so much as a removal tool for a debuff. That is most likely getting removed in the global version, meaning the only thing people can buy with money are things other users have actually farmed in-game, which gives those users the premium currency directly rather than having it disappear into some void.
      Basically WoW tokens, if they were the only currency instead of gold.

      Long response, we expect them to keep most, if not all, of the monetization systems as they are. We hope for small modifications to make them more fair, but not much.
      How bad is the P2W? Opinions may vary, but it's not as bad as many claim it to be.
      • The subscription / battlepass let you progress faster, but well within the current expected margins of a F2P MMO with optional sub
      • You can buy shit from the market with $, but for that someone has to sell it first, so whales will be gated by people actually obtaining and be willing to sell stuff.
      • In the current KR game state, most BiS gear is obtained via dungeons, and it isn't tradable. And what is tradable, is so rare barely anyone will sell it, and for a lot of money.
      • Some gear/skill enhancement materials are gated behind gameplay, even if you pay for everything else
      • Traits are the main P2W pain point. They have a considerable effect in power, and are the main thing people will sell on the marketplace. However, they've been implementing changes to make it easier for F2P/Sub players to get them, and we expect these to be in global from the beginning
      • At this point in KR, lots of F2P players are fully geared up, traits included, 3 months after they released a new tier of gear, and the trait improvements released last month I think

    Botting is made worse when a game is free to play. The best MMOs in the space have buy to play + subscriptions or some variation of that. Even though bots still exist in those games, they are significantly less prevalent than F2P games. MMO players have shown over the years that they’re willing to pay as long as the game puts the content out. FF14, WoW, OSRS (specifically member areas), GW2 (specifically in the expansion areas), ESO and BDO are massively successful and all have an underlying similarity: buying into the game or paying monthly creates a barrier of entry for botting accounts. Doesn’t negate them entirely but enough so that it does not destroy their game.

    I imagine some designer at NCSoft sitting in their office, smug and exasperated, saying "I told you so." lol Hopefully they can get the botting under control. While I understand the reasoning behind it, I usually dislike game systems that more or less validate cheating techniques (like built-in autoplay vs current cheating bots dilemma). Here's hoping they can get it under control, but cheaters never really go away, they just get a new tool.

      To be honest, most mmo companies have complete control over botters. Just not in the way the players want. They let botters buy account. Let them play a while. Do a banwave. Cash in on botters buying more account. Wait a bit. Do a banwave. Etc. Etc. It's all about money. Most companies could give a shit about the influence botters have on their game.

    Great vid! On the side note tho, the comparison between Lucent and Gold(Lost Ark) is a bit off, since you do earn gold for most in-game activities in Lost Ark, I'd say it is hard to compare both systems since Lost Ark has Royal Crystals(only real money exchange currency) that then can be sold for gold that buys most stuff in-game.

    It had all the AFK and auto-play because that's what is sells in Korea, where they spend much less time sitting down with games and more time playing them on the move.
    In the west it's entirely different.
    Developers need to understand that they can't market a game to the east and west without changing to match the climate and expect to be successful.

      I disagree about westerners not wanting auto farm. As a Lineage player, I like that I can go to work, come back, do stuff around the house, spend time with my kid or help the wife while I can put my char do 1 hour session(instance) or 3 hours session or just let him on the map somewhere in a pack of mobs. You can do the fun stuff when you play active, like PvP, Sieges, Olympiads(or pvp arena) and the borring grind stuff can let it auto farm. I think for most people with stuff to do and with a certain age, autofarm is the only way to play an MMO. And as said, not only in the East, but America, Europe, Russia etc I think most who complained about it either have too much free time or just want it removed so they can bot autofarm and have an advantage over others.

      I think the action combat and graphics/effects are top tier, even among most games out there.
      However, the progression curve becomes extremely steep relatively quickly. But there’s lots to do and it’s easy to go off on different tangents, and I actually enjoy that aspect.
      That being said, I think the game is best enjoyed casually when you have a few hours you want to turn your brain off…. But that might just be me considering I have other things going on in my life I often would rather do.

Given online multiplayer is a norm across most games, what does the traditional MMO bring to the table? ... sub par combat and narrative, as well as usually aggressive monetization.

    Korean game companies usually release their games in Korea first, and only after a year, they release them worldwide. This can be annoying for players in other countries. People wonder why everyone can't get the game at the same time. This way, players from other countries end up playing the game later than Korean players. And it's not clear why they do this, but it often makes players from other countries unhappy. This delayed release might also affect how well the game does outside of South Korea.
