pressing R will get your quests in the dialogue, then if you exit combat via Tab youll be able to open your map which will show you the areas you complete the quests in. Right click makes a marker and pressing T will autorun you there. In the end though I think just straight mob grinding is more efficient in this than questing.

Managed to play the game past character creation (I know, fuckface screens are coming) for a bit : 64 bit game client is pretty sleek, everything runs fine and graphics are quite neat, unless you're a AMD peasant struggling to run the game with your third world gpu. I'm not gonna comment on combat gameplay since I need more playtime but this game has a lot of promises regarding awesome features, full FFA loot PvP with meaningful traderoute and economy, craft karma ganking, housing, sieges, sandbox herpaderp build your shit and fight villains stuff. Everything seems so shiny and new ! To be honest, some ideas looks nice, but who knows ? Koreans are developing this game, which means you'll probably have alot of your expectations crushed with some random giant shojen anime high school hammer.

Yeah, you read it right. Game is fully developed / published by Daum, some obscure korean game company no sane person would ever heard of. Open Beta Game client isn't localized right now, which means unless you're some remote hardcore weeaboo neckbeard craving for the next waifu grindan MMO, you can't humanly be arsed to play a game with ching chong language everyfuckingwhere. You think spam clicking the left box will always get you out of trouble ? Maybe, maybe not, maybe fuck youself. Or maybe you're gonna spend hours in character creation, which seems to basically be more complete than the human genome. Yep, I'm gonna have a field day creating fap material monsters. Wait a fucking minute, I've already read that pitch for Archeage, what could possibly go wrong ? Oh, this time it's not enforced by some 1996 Hackshield anti hack stuff, it's something new. Yep, new.

"full FFA loot PvP"

not sure where you got that but its only inventory items that drop, not gear. Enchanting grades on gear lower on deaths but even then these are only for the bad guys with the low karma (the ones attacking)

Even something mi or dropping makes PvP much better. I'm so tired of meaningless pvp in games.

Karma systems are crap. After Lineage 2 I'll never touch a game with Karma. That game raped you so hard with karma.

That's pretty astounding. Sometimes games have a few actors where a likeness is easy to create, possibly because one of the artists modeled a nose or eyebrow or whatever after them, but to have that range of characters is impressive.

problem I have is both sides have to have something on the line to make it meaningful. Right now only the aggressor in any combat racks up negative karma and risks item loss. If someone attacks you while your not carrying a pack or something, you do more damage to the player by not attacking back.

Why is that?

Downloaded this since I was bored. Played about 2 hours or so only.

Character creation is obviously amazing as I had seen.

Game is beautiful, but not as much as expected, still great, runs extremely well too.

As far as gameplay is concerned...it's intimidating so far, I've played Korean games before like Blade and Soul or ArcheAge and could manage very very well in those, but this is different. The screen is well cluttered with informations, much of which means absolutely nothing to me, most of the menus, inventory, skills, even the damn paper doll is confusing.te

I still managed to quest to level 12 or so...and the questing so far is standard fare, nothing new as far as I've seen so far. The waypoint system so near, although having the option to auto travel to your waypoint is a bit much...not a fan of that.

Combat...not sure about it so far, again mostly due to language barrier and somewhat overwhelming system. LB is an attack, W+LB is another attack, S+LB, Shift+W+LB etc...same with RB, and seems to be the same with the hockey's...where 1 is something and W+1 is something slightly different....attacks also seem to combo. Game so far is WAY WAY easy, probably the easiest game I've played...can gather 6+ mobs and just randomly spam different attacks and you kill everything and barely take damage. At level 12 it's still a joke makes WoW looks challenging, I am hoping it changes. And I still don't know wtf I'm doing as far as combat go, it's way spammy. Overall very disappointed so far...it's very responsive though, with very nice mobility.

I like that when you fight something, you don't see its health bar until you've killed a few and learn about it...makes fighting something for the first time somewhat of a mystery, it is wasted though so far since everything is so easy.

So first impression after 2 hours...looks interesting, but somewhat disappointed at how easy it is...and not a fan of auto-travel to waypoints you set, or to quest objective.

Too much latency, too much korean. There's no point playing it right now, at least from Europe (300-400ms). Games seems interesting enough to wait some more time, at least RU beta for decent ping. I think there's no point spending hours figuring what the hell is going on with 1-3s lag during combat phases.

Looks like a bunch of shitty stats that are only good for like the first week.
well the mount sprint speed will always be good. I assume the mount endurance is how long it can sprint for. Movement speed in general is something that shouldnt be fucked with in a pvp mmo, especially not something you should be able to buy more of. Other than that, an exp bonus in a game with no hard level cap and the willingness to sell an advantage in just about any aspect makes this look like a terrible cash shop to me.
