At max LV theres nothing to do. Heres how to fix that

[furseiseki]

After you max, theres no more reason to quest and grind. Having played the beta, I've hung out with players at camp and other spots because thats simply what we did. We chatted, we sat, we danced, we taunted Angela, we hung on the windows mocked the shopkeeper. We formed a sit train. We did this all day and had 2-12 players on at a time. This hangout behavior can be facilitated exponentially and thrive, and you do that by mega-expanding character customization.

I'd like to bring your attention to a game called Ponytown. "ew pony" yeah i know shut up Im getting at something. Ponytown started back in 2016, was supposed to be an MMO or something. Back then the most you can do was create characters and roleplay.

Fast forward 8 years to today and that's STILL all you do. There are no levels, no enemies.. there isn't even an inventory.. and yet it now has expanded to 11 dedicated international servers with several thousands of players on the most popular ones daily.

Wtf do they do all day, then? They cosplay and roleplay. In the main server (the 18+) you could see every single meme and character from any show you can think of. You'll see Hazbin characters. You'll see Genshin characters. You'll see Dues Ex. You'll see tons of OCs but that's the point and that's what people there want to do. They each make dozens of characters from their favorite shows and their OCs and they chat and hangout. ALL DAY ERRY DAY.

I also gotta give a shoutout to the creativity of the people there. People have made real funny ♥♥♥♥ like dead people on the ground, Chtulhu creatures, heads hanging on a rope, floating chili dogs and hamburgers.. and that infamous floating dong.. People are just creative and we love it.

See what Im at getting here? You need to be able to make any character you can think of. You WANT to be able make any character you can think of, and then you'll happily run around in the world as that character. You'll find a favorite, and people will know you as that guy, and you'll all have fun shenanigans and that's a feeling you can only get playing in games like these. VRchat is also a great example of this.

The character creation NEEDS expansion, and the game NEEDS more emotes and animations.. and if you play your cards right, you're gonna need more servers and maybe a few lawyers

At max level there's nothing to do because the games in early access and level 25, and 2 dungeons is just a vertical slice intro to the game while more is being made.

yes, but the point is the potential for online hangout is huge. It won't be the next VRChat, but extend character customization enough and this game can take off in more ways than one

i'm sure this is already planned, the game's just really early in development (beta build) so your suggestion is essentially nil. i'm pretty sure that was the other commenter's point

Ponytown, for lack of better phrasing, is an uwu cosplay cesspool

Character customization is nice but I think I'd prefer more dungeons.

I think you are wanting to push this game in a direction away from what it should be focusing on right now, I agree this game would benefit from some more emotes, cosmetics and whatnot but it's a hack & slash RPG. The focus should be on adding more content into the game for progression and character builds first: More dungeons, zones, skills, higher level-cap, skill balancing THEN emotes and cosmetics second.

Also every MMORPG and most games in general really suffer from what you're describing, if you've already hit max level and have all the best gear in the game then you basically have 2 options. You can either run content just to see how fast you can clear them and to earn money/use items/cosmetics or you can start a new character. Other than socialising of course which can be done on any character at anytime.

i will have to concede that there are different types of players in this game. Perhaps you're right about the focus. Ultimately it will be up to what Kiseff has patience and interest for

[Huxxy]

It'll get there. It's just going to take time.

[furseiseki]

gotta say though, just look at what people are able to make right now
