Care to actually, ya know...point out why instead of just "it fucking sucked"? I didn't play in alpha, and I'm only playing now because I want a new MMO to run with an active guild (and Zx88 sold me his account at a great price). An actual quick review of what you found negative/positive would go a lot further to help people understand your opinion and actually provide, ya know...discussion here on our discussion boards.
Sure thing buddy.
The graphics and animations were pretty awful, something you'd expect to see 5-6 years ago. There was a massive memory leak that is more than likely still unfixed, at one point the game was eating up 18gb of processing before restarting.
The leveling itself was really tedious, the job system was extremely unfavorable if you wanted to do something other than damage. For instance if you wanted to play a healer 1 or 2 of your jobs would be max and the third you'd have to level from an extremely low leveling and be pretty much useless in PVP and some dungeons until you forced yourself to level as a gimped ass two/one job character.
PVP was essentially a massive clusterfuck of zerging and camping graveyards/outside of towns in the leveling zones. Outside of the leveling zones in the PVP areas it was just utterly stupid, I had some of the best PVP gear in the game at the time and was still being one shot by people (one spell, not one round of spells).
The crafting system was probably the worst in any game, in order to create new versions of gear you had to USE lower versions of the gear and you could potentially CRIT making the quality better. This as you can imagine resulted in making 10-15 pairs of bracers just to get the best quality while the rest of them were literally vendored. Everything you crafted costed some sort of action point or ability point, which EVERYTHING in the profession system costed. So if you wanted to maybe make some gear to sell you basically had to forgo planting/farming or any other type of profession work.
You can literally go to prison for bad deeds and breaking out of prison does absolutely nothing except pretty much guarantee that you will be killed again. After racking up somewhere around 24 hours of prison time (that you HAVE TO WAIT OUT IN-GAME) I eventually just stopped logging in.
There's a video out there of a streamer killing like a 70-80man raid with his AOE from his spells, that should let you know how balanced the game is.
The most fun I had was riding around on a dingy boat (that took a week to build) killing random people of my same faction and listening to them bitch about it.
Wakandan did you just ask for my opinion and then neg me for it?
