In what way was it terrible? Boring? What did you miss? |
When playing the beta I faced 2 major problems:
1. I had more fun with the bugs then the core gameplay. The only other game that I've played that was like that was Sonic 06. Knowing it was an early beta I expected rampant bugs but the my issues where with the things that were working correctly.
a. to elaborate: the combat in the game is basically standard fare with the exception that you can move around. Enemies follow the exact same pattern of nomal interruptable hits and blockable strong hits which basically makes nearly every enemy easy to defeat regardless of level. The only thing that gave me trouble were ranged mages but that was only when I was afk.
b. the skill progression has elder scrolls -esque growth by use, but its just another excuse to grind and if the grinding isn't fun then that defeats the purpose right there which goes back to a. The skills you learn barely even change how you fight at all. Even after getting the ultimate dragonknight skill there was literally no change in my strategy as combat did not change at all either.
c. Questing is alright, its literally SWTOR with worse graphics and more lag.
d. crafting, enchanting, etc is completly unintuitive if you played es games and completly boring if you played any other mmo.
e. the inventory is a joke
f. the huge map is a plus though, but I just can't be bothered to explore in this game.
2. After playing the game after a while, the only reason I continued playing was by virtue of the fact that it was free now and I would have to pay later.
