An unfortunate let-down
Unfortunately, it resulted in a huge let-down.
The main topic had always been the combat. It was supposed to be cutting-edge. However, what seemed great on paper quite simply does NOT work in game. The combat system ended up nothing more than a dull, semi-unresponsive, game of whack-a-mole.
The grpahics, of course, are very nice. Not anything ground-breaking though.
Another big disappointment is the massive amount of loading and zoning. I cant help but to ask...what were they thinking? Didnt they see the failure of D&D Online? The zoning immediately killed the game. Why didnt they know that the general pool of MMO'ers want a large, seemless world. They want a world they can explore. When you have to sit through a loading screen, regardless of how small, between every single zone...the immersion goes right out the window.
The crafting is so bad, its not really even worth mentioning. The worst I have seen...plain and simple.
Without spending any time on class balancing, the PvP is a joke. Which is a shame, because it was supposed to be a big selling point for the game. Sadly, without any balancing, it just doesnt work.
Not to mention the skills and abilities. They're God awful! It's like they didnt even plan out the skills. Or, they were too rushed to finish the game that they decided to skip that part.
In the end, the game is just terrible. Something new, which is nice...but it doesnt have enough...or anything really...to keep it floating. Once the "newness" wore off (rather quickly), I found myself waiting for the next round of new MMO's.
Good graphics, but poorly coded.
Terrible combat system.
Lack of any usefull, or interesting, skills/abilites.
No PvP
Crafting...uugghh.
No seamless world.
Anything you might look for in an MMO, simply isnt here.
