Riot MMO News: New Hires, Procedural World Generation and More!! 

ok so the game comes out in 2029

If we are lucky.

Just getting started

Have you ever tried FFXIV Palace of the Dead? WoW's Torghast had roguelike elements too.

@@oheyspun I have not tried Palace of the Dead 😯 Looking into it rn!

Play warframe

War frame is also super great. New expansion (free) is awesome for new players too.

@@oheyspun Warframe has 'pay to advance faster' mechanics in their game shop and thus has what many believe are P2W elements.

Personally, and its why I left it out of the video, I think random generation is fine for instanced dungeons etc but I would hate it for the curated world.

​​​@@oheyspun dungeons will never be iconic or memorable if they are procedurally generated. They need a team of dedicated level designers to carefully create dungeons that will be remembered for years to come, like they have in WoW (classic especially).

I don’t think the random world generation is used to have different maps from playthrough to playthrough. For MMOs, it’s most likely used just so the devs don’t have to hand place every world feature. Manual map development works well for small play areas, but for the massive open worlds in MMOs it’s often easier to program a generation algorithm, have that make a sort of “rough draft” of the map, and then go through making small tweaks where needed. Random world generation could also be used for dungeons, as many others have suggested, but that would likely be for the side/daily dungeons rather than important storyline ones. Personally I’m just really excited for the game’s release, and I’m fine with just about anything if it makes it come sooner.

Let me clarify. I don’t think it’s used for anything beyond helping with world generation like I said in the video. Was more commenting saying I don’t personally mind randomized dungeons. (Not all of them but some rogue like type dungeons like palace of the dead or torghast)

Much appreciated! I am only getting started.

I loved the Left 4 Dead series, would love it if they made a Third.

@@oheyspun if only :'( remember all the fan speculation about new infected for lfd3 all those years ago Heres a gem for ya as well! RE: YOUR BRAINS :) CLASSIC EASTER EGG SONG

full loot PvP is a niche inside the niche that MMORPGs already are, Riot is not going for that.

@@nanopix5305 says who? Lol

@@georgewashington7982 says every full loot pvp MMO being dead.

Albion Online is popping. But that doesn’t change the fact that what you said initially is 100% accurate. MMO is niche and full loot mmos die fast (typically)

@@nanopix5305 I hate RuneScape but RuneScape is thriving off of it
