Before people jump up and say it’s not a true an MMO, my response to that is, I don’t really care anymore. Before, I would yearn for an MMO that has high player population and lots of people running around in the open world. After playing this, I’ve realised those things aren’t really that important to me.

You still see people here and there and it isn’t really difficult to group up. In most modern MMOs, the social aspect isn’t great anyway. People will just run by you and barely interact other than in the chat box in world/zone channels.

The solo experience, as well as the option for group play, is something I overlooked. This game does it perfectly. The fact that I can do dungeons solo is amazing, I don’t really like committing to something like a dungeon in a party when life can just pull me away at any moment, as I’m a dad gamer. It also means I don’t have to deal with sweaty try hards who want to gate-keep and say ‘bRo uR sTaTs aRe tRaSh’.

I’m rooting for the developers and hope these server issues get ironed out quickly. I’ve enjoyed the game a lot so far, it seems they’ve picked out the best game mechanics from different games and molded it in to one. Great work guys.

I don't know how you guys solo without heals. I tried Priest and it was easy with heals. I tried other classes and it's a struggle. Any tips for a bad player? lol

This game is everything I want in an MMO and nothing I don’t.

You’ve really caught lightning in a bottle here guys, but these servers are absolutely unacceptable.

If that’s not your priority, please please make it the top one.

It would be such a shame for this game to die when it’s so good when we can actually play.

While we're working on the next patch, here is an update on the work we've done on our servers since launch!

Some quality of life improvements I've been thinking about while playing the game.

I know the biggest issue right now is server connection and lag, and that it's the top priority at the moment, so there's no need to mention it. This post is just about discussing features and improvements that would be nice to have in the game.

4. Button to sort bank
5. Button to transfer identical items from inventory to bank

Overall I have to say I am very impressed by the game. Like most people, the game looks a bit silly, but is surprisingly good. I don't think i'll be playing it as much as I have now that i've reached the "end" until more updates comes out, but I never expected to have a fully designed endgame loop at this early stage anyway.

I must say, if the game keeps a steady update cycle, it will have a bright future of a popular indie MMO-lite.

My biggest "gripe" with the game is honestly just a small one (excluding the server and performance bugs). The character models are slightly too chibi/childish looking for my liking. But that is to some part of the charm, which is fair.

In the end, the core gameplay of the game is really good. With future updates adding more talents, more weapons, more content, the game has a promising future.

I could go further into detail what i liked, but honestly, there are very few things I disliked beyond what i mentioned above. The regions are massive and very well made, some higher detail to decorations in large castles and such could be made, but I go into this with what I'd think is realistic expectations for a 15 man indie dev team.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll answer it as best I can.

I'm apart of the Discord for the game and I will say the backlash over the server issues are a bit excessive but I understand where they are coming from.

If you weren't apart of the campaign behind this game and just a random guy scrolling on steam looking for new games (such as me), the server issues do look optically really bad. The devs are both resetting and doing maintenance on them, and while I understand they are suffering from success but man are these servers just horrible. I would go as far to say they are the worst I've seen from a multiplayer game in recent memory. They were clearly underprepared capacity wise and I imagine as they get more servers and expand the available ones, the lag will decrease and the game will feel more playable. It's really hard to enjoy the game with the current server state.

This isn't a dig at the devs or any thing in general. These things happen when making games and with the size of the team I don't blame them for not expecting 9-12k concurrent players with the size and advertising of the product. I personally love the art style and feel of the game, and think it has a very bright future. I just hope they fix these servers fast because I think it's actively pushing people away.

All I hear in this reddit is how servers make the game unplayable. Then I see so many streamers playing the game and it makes me want to play it because there doesn’t seem to be an issue (not blaming anybody) and game looks fun.

So, what are your experiences with EU servers? Is it too bad to the point of you wouldn’t recommend buying the game right now? Did it get any better lately?

Terrible player here.

Tried to solo the big crab boss at level 8. While I can survive the mechanics, I spent 30 minutes on a single pull and only got him to 50% before I said screw this.

I do like no damage and it's even harder when you have 10 adds that spawn that get in the way of you damaging the boss.

Don't try this boss if you don't have good weapons. I have the weapon that gives you water totems that heal and a frontal cone AoE. Basically poopy weapons.

Playing Mage rn and thinking of switching to something else when a buddy joins. I'm curious what most people think is a fun class.

Look, I understand that they're suffering from success and I'm sure they're in a scramble to get things up and running but all yesterday I was basically unable to play because of lag and unannounced server resets. Today I wake up and try to play and the servers are down, but there's no server status page, no communication from the team on what they're working on etc.

I've seen this happen like 100 times to MMOs, and what's going to happen is it's going to start bleeding players without more clear communication from the dev team

Partying up is pointless outside of the "for fun" aspect.

Doing dungeons or world bosses splits the loot you'd normally get 2-4 ways, so it's more valuable to your time to just do these solo getting gear your character can use. Nothing worse than doing a 4-man dungeon and you drop is a pair of pants you can't wear and no one really wants to trade with you.

General partying up is also quite rare and damaged by the previous issue, there's not enough people in the server to garuntee you'll find a party for the activity you want to do, you play together with the other 19 people on your servers and sometimes things you're doing overlap with another in the open world and it can be fun to do them together but you're not gonna party up with them so any party utility you have is essentially useless in this regard.

Activity loot needs buffed in co-op and we need a Party Finder/Matchmaking option for Dungeons and World Bosses to access those other cells of the server to make the mmo aspect feel good, it's okay having 20 or so players in one world but these encounters have always been group tailored experiences for a reason, it's fun to either communicate or use different Class skills together to fight more than what you could handle alone.

So, I was switching around some items and then i realized that Dexterity doesn't actually give you any crit rate. just check your crit rate before and after equipping dexterity items.

Also, as a secondary question, what about Armor? does armor mean nothing if the enemy is higher level?

So been playing this game for a lot past couple of days and tried out all classes ( Priest to 10, mage to 8 and warrior to 20 ). Felt a bit disappointed by warrior at 20 so decided to try out rogue and oh boy I gotta say it felt a lot better than expected. Just wanted to create this thread to show some appreciation to the class ( and in turn to the game ).

Rogue out of the gate is already pretty strong, with a skill that can reset it's cooldown by doing an auto attack finisher. Then at level 5 if you pick the bow it's just such a smoother leveling experience compared to the other classes because of the ricochet skill it has and it lowering the cooldown based on how many enemies you hit with it.

Survivability is also really good because of smoke bomb. Chain pulling mobs, popping a smoke bomb and going to town with the ricochet bow skill is just so satisfying. Later on I'm planning on going down the right tree to pick up the leeching poison passive and branching out to the left tree to get the increased poison damage and stacks.

As a closing note to get across how good rogue is, I solo'd crabgantuan at lvl 13 on my warrior and it was a pretty close fight. I did the same on my lvl 10 rogue and breezed through the fight with the ratsar daggers with the bow in my arsenal slot for the add phase. The poisons from the dagger along with the talent poison just shreds through single targets, while having the bow in the arsenal gives you a tool to deal with groups incredibly well.

Can't wait to see what this game has in store for it's future in terms of new talents, weapons, dungeons, etc ...
