i'm torn on this because on one hand, i'm not into blaming the consumer. developers need to work harder on being competent. on the other hand, it's early access and people are giving reviews that say things like "i'm working with steam to get this game delisted because i took time off of work to play this and i can't" and it just wreaks of entitled stupidity.

if you're going to take time off specifically to play a game that is releasing to EARLY ACCESS you get what you pay for. i'm not going to comment on having to pay for early access when it'll be free at release because, well it is what it is. i get why they are doing it despite not liking it, so i can understand a poor review for that reason. i just think it's hilarious how angry people are about server instability in an early access game.

Well maybe if there were standards for early access as in you know, some sort of code for the condition of the game that could be referenced to an objective condition that might even have standards which meant your game could be delisted if you weren't transparent to consumers.

Idk just thinking out loud but what about Greek alphabet.

These companies have an entire set of data points available to them right up to the very point the game launches. They should have the wherewithal in knowledge and money to not only bring up more servers as needed on the spot (Because they set the fucking launch date) but the forethought in how to shed those servers later without inconveniencing any players. Its hard to believe that we had these login queue issues back in fucking 1996 with UO and The Realm, and here it is 2023 and even triple A launches like Diablo 4 had fucking queues. There are plenty of examples of projects that scale out there, so its just screams poor planning and reluctance to spend any money.

Course, this would be made a 1000 times better if the company didnt charge for early access. Who would have thought that charging people for early access and then, they not being able to play, would cause bad reviews.

The issue with calling it early access is that all progress is carried over to "launch" and the presence of a working cash shop. So ppl are paying for a head start in a broken / unfinished launch title.

Been playing this last few days. Queue sucks. Got heroic kyros he’s pretty cool but not sure of long term goals in this game. Just run same dungeons over and over for diff quests.

Is it just a medieval fantasy version of Warframe, or no?

It's fantasy Warframe.

I've clocked about 60 hours in it. It's decent, be interesting to see what they do with it with more content/release/future.

Yeah seems very similar to warframe. They claim they’ve fixed server stability and queue should go down. 🤷‍♂️

Queue times have gone down, quite a lot, compared the first few days. Takes at most 30-ish minutes now with a big queue of 3k.

Game is decent, but still clearly not ready for a real launch. I think the studio is to small to reach the goals they've set for themselves in the next 6 months. Worth $20, imo.

They are relaunching in 2 days as a single player game. Online no longer required and micro transactions are gone. You can, however, play with friends co-op if you desire.

It's an enjoyable enough action RPG, it just wasn't gonna cut it with currency bullshit.

It's funny because the old version you could pretty much faceroll through first pile of levels, but this newer version really makes me want to group up with people... I think they must also have hired someone who knows how to use excel as the various stats and modifiers are now VERY relevant and you absolutely can fuck up your build by just slotting +gooder.

1.0 out now.

Don't bother. This started out as an MMO, but the devs ran out of cash and stripped it down to a single player game. It feels like an early alpha instead of a 1.0 release. The second story dungeon requires a character to be unlocked but they give you zero indication on how to do that. Why? 15 minutes into the game and then...you can't fucking play it. I found ONE side quest but it required a laughable amount of running around. Quit out and refunded.

Combat is fucking horrible. Zero depth to anything at all. Everything scales so there's no point in getting levels or loot. Loot is just +4 to a single stat. They rushed the 1.0 release so they could get some money before going out of business, and they will go out of business because no one will buy this, and those that do will refund it.

Scaling can be turned off in the main menu. Not sure what the "up to level 30" remark meant, though.
