Hey everyone and welcome back to the Tank Club
0:02
Today we're diving into the brand new MMORPG that's got everybody talking, Tarisland
0:08
Is Tarisland the best mobile MMO ever made? Stick around to find out
0:18
Tarisland had one of the smoothest MMORPG launches that I've ever seen
0:23
No queues, no performance issues. Seriously, it was like they hired a team of wizards to make this happen
0:29
Maybe they did, but let's get back to reality. Unlike other launches that feel like you're trying to get into a nightclub on New Year's Eve
0:35
Tarisland welcomed us with open arms and that's just the beginning. With so much to do in Tarisland from dungeons and crafting to fishing and zone exploration
0:45
the game keeps you busy. And let's not forget the universal hall and the daily and weekly tasks as well
0:51
While the story starts off interesting, it loses momentum in the latter stages
0:55
likely because it's slowly released day by day. Additionally, the cutscenes and dialogue often don't sync well
1:01
a problem that persisted since the closed beta over a year ago and still hasn't been fixed
1:06
Moreover, when you buy a season pass, cosmetic or practically anything, it's only available on one of your characters
1:14
It's as if your characters are on separate accounts, since you can't switch items between them
1:18
or drops, obtain skins, and items are individually character owned. And some things can't be obtained again on another character on the same account
1:28
It feels like there's always something new to dive into. The real question is, will it keep you hooked long term
1:34
Sure, the initial burst of content is exciting, but how does it hold up after the first week
1:39
One thing to constantly remember is that this is also a mobile game
1:43
If I played this exclusively on my phone, then it's a whole different ball game
1:47
The level of detail and content is actually pretty impressive for a mobile MMO
1:52
Don't worry, Tarisland isn't leaving you stranded just yet. PVE is where Tarisland truly shines
1:57
The raids are intense and the challenge modes will keep you on your toes
2:02
But be warned, what looks like a lot of content might actually be a clever illusion
2:06
They rework existing dungeons into new challenges, which initially feels like a ton of content, but can start to feel repetitive
2:14
And this is especially the case with Arcane Realm and even Universal Hall
2:19
The drip-fed approach to releasing content, especially raids, makes it exciting when new content is getting released
2:25
The anticipation is high, but on the flip side, it becomes clear that there's minimal new content as you keep clearing it
2:33
It's just the same few things rehashed with increased difficulty. The overland areas are fairly small and uninspiring
2:41
There are many things to collect, but it's not that fun to do. The overland possesses no threat whatsoever
2:47
and there's not much to do aside from the reputation events once you've picked everything up
2:51
However, having a rotating variety of activities like world bosses, dark invasions, and the amusement park does help to break things up and extend the journey
3:01
Daily progress is designed to keep you from grinding through content too quickly
3:05
ensuring that there's always something new to do each day. Playing with a guild is a blast, especially when you're strategizing for those world-first clears
3:12
those challenge modes, and those score runs. But solo players might find it a bit slow
3:17
especially when your AI NPCs in dungeons move at the pace of a snail on vacation
3:23
Yeah, just like that. One good aspect of some of the easier PVE is that if you group up and no one else joins
3:29
you'll get NPCs to help you. However, these NPCs don't sprint, and sometimes the NPC tank tries to play group mechanics
3:37
and moves the boss around, which can be frustrating and also mean that you get hit by unnecessary mechanics
3:43
But don't let that discourage you. The variety in PVE activities, from standard dungeons to the challenging arcane realm
3:50
keep things interesting. The simplicity of mechanics makes it accessible, yet challenging enough to keep veterans engaged
3:57
The combat is somewhat basic with very few ability options, but the details really lie in the stats, talents, and the inscribed system
4:05
where you gain a vast amount of your strength. Combat does require some timing, but it's not complicated
4:10
You can even use the assist feature, which will auto-cast certain skills by spamming the first
4:14
skill. This removes some of the engaging elements of combat to accommodate mobile players
4:20
Auto-walking features are also part of Taris Land, making it easier for mobile players to navigate the world
4:25
without having to constantly control their character. While these aids are great for casual play
4:30
they do remove some of the depth and engagement hardcore players might seek
4:35
PvP in Taris Land is surprisingly fun, even for someone like me who usually avoids it
4:40
The modes are fast-paced and engaging, and here's something cool. Your PvP skills are tailored just for those battles
4:48
Switching from tank to DPS and seeing how your ultimate skills adapt for PvP
4:53
is a game-changer. It makes the battles fresh and exciting. But here's the twist
4:58
PvP is only available at certain times. This creates a competitive rush during those windows where PvP is open
5:07
It can be a bit of a bummer if you miss the timing, however
5:10
Time's ticking, folks. Want to PvP with your friends on a Saturday night
5:14
Too bad, the game's decided you need some anticipation. Despite this, the PvP itself is rewarding
5:21
Matches are quick, intense, and incredibly satisfying when you outsmart the opponent
5:26
Even for a player like me who only plays as a tank, I'm still able to dominate people in the PvP environment
5:32
Locking content at certain times can be both exciting and frustrating. Need to craft something, but still need materials from the market
5:40
Tough luck, it's closed. This can be particularly annoying for players with unconventional schedules
5:48
Still, it does add a layer of strategy. Planning your playtime around these windows can make the game feel more dynamic
5:55
Tarisland is visually stunning, especially for a mobile game. The graphics and performance are top-notch
6:01
The world feels alive. The character visual customizations are very limited, but the customization options of your character
6:08
terms of talents, inscribed stones, and things like that are pretty solid
6:14
The environments are lush and immersive. Performance-wise, the game runs smoothly even in high-action scenes
6:20
whether you're battling in a raid or wandering through serene landscapes. The experience is seamless
6:25
On mobile, I have played a little bit, and the experience on there is pretty good as well
6:29
but heavily depends on how good your connection to the internet is
6:33
In-game events and community challenges also keep things lively. These events are a great way to earn rewards and show off your skills
6:40
Tarisland is one of the best mobile MMORPGs out there, but as a PC MMO, it feels more like a fun fling than a long-term relationship
6:50
and it does have the potential to be a really top-quality PC MMO in the long term
6:56
It's free to play, so definitely give it a shot, but remember, its future success hinges on how the game continues to develop
7:02
and how frequently new content is released. The game's accessibility and variety of content makes it perfect for casual players
7:11
but it might not satisfy hardcore MMO grinders for long. The developers will need to keep up with regular updates to retain the player base
7:18
If they keep the content coming, Tarisland has the potential to be a lasting success
7:24
For now, it's a fun ride that is worth your time. So what do you think? Is Tarisland the best mobile MMO ever released
