Poopy game

good

All employees of AGS should be laid off and never allowed to work in the gaming industry again.

TLDR; The only reason I'm playing this game is because its new and has the potential to be alright. Levels go up dopamine goes BRRRRRRR. All of the review being said I will continue to play until I have maxed everything out, and will continue to play new content on release.

Ill start with a list of Pros
-Crafting is in depth and enjoyable
-PVP is exciting and fighting in wars with your guild/faction is VERY fun
-life skill variety feels good

Now for a wall of text, I don't want to give off that I hate the game, it is fun WITH FRIENDS, and server locking is a great way to help build a community feeling, but;
I'm dumping my thoughts here, I'm a huge fan of MMO games, the type of player to play 8-10 hours a day. I've cycled through OSRS, BDO, WOW, and many others. This game while fun with friends, is extremely close to being an absolute joke. Leveling in this game feels like a chore, your first 100+ hours are spent running around doing absolutely nothing but killing the same 6 mobs recycled throughout the VAST majority of the game. I've done over 150 kill X amount of mobs quests and counting, they do not get more fun, or more challenging. The first 5 starting areas, where you will spend bare minimum 50-70 hours, are all the exact same, colorless, empty, lifeless and dead. Progression is nothing but a long, boring, and tedious chore, EVEN COMPARED TO OSRS. It is so boring that I can already feel amazon taking money for catch-up mechanics because if you didn't get the game on release there is NO POINT in suffering through this hot garbage. Leveling up does not feel rewarding in anyway, as you fight the same mobs in all the areas but as you increase in level so do they. You have to suffer through 70 hours of "content" before you see your first bit of color in the trees, or blue in the sky. This game is riding a weird line where it's not fun for the casual players and doesn't have enough content for the hardcore players. EVERYTHING MUST BE RAN IN A GROUP, this game is NOT for the solo players, mob density is either 1 every kilometer or 10 every square meter. If PVE content is what you're after this ain't it, if you like the rush of getting a good drop after killing a boss, this ain't it, if you like building wealth, this ain't it. There is no point to running dungeons after your 4th or 5th time because the drops are frequent and you outscale the drops almost immediately The only way I can enjoy this game is to not compare it to any other MMO on the market, because compared to ANY OTHER MMO this game is unfinished, unpolished garbage.
This is a PVP focused game, and the PVP is VERY enjoyable, so if that's your thing and you want to hate your life for 300 hours before you can participate then this game is for you!

Thoughts I've had while playing;
-How do you release an MMO where people have done everything the game has to offer in 6-7 days?????
-why would the game include attack combos if you cant use them against half the mobs
-why does EVERYTHING knock you back/down
-why does everything poison/bleed
-how does a map this big seem so repetitive
-I can't swim but everything else can????
-I COULD be having fun right now
-they locked servers so friends can't join and STILL don't have server transfers, the worst decision they could have made IMO
-getting mass reported regardless of the content or context of the message is an auto ban????? No GM's for a billion dollar company?????
I could go on with complaints but there is no point.
The only reason I've continued to play the game is to war and max out and NOT have to play the game until amazon releases more content that is actually enjoyable to play.

bad

2000 hours; no, 4500 hours later; still no
