My friend plays this, he said:

- leveling is cancer
- dungeons are some of the best ever
- pvp is incredible, like a mix of Guild Wars 1, Dota and Guilty Gear

PvP is shit just like in every other MMORPG, it takes a special breed of autist to enjoy it.

You know there were some games made that were essentially just the arena PvP from MMOs, like Battlerite? You know where those games are now? In the graveyard.

They're in the graveyard because most MMORPG players these days are pussyboiz.

The censorship/changes here are pretty bad. Netflix Adaptation tier. Also the content & systems is pretty messed up, since they are using a version of the game with catch-up mechanics and balanced around later content but they are only releasing with launch year content. It's like if WoW was released now in a country as a new game, had the mechanics and leveling process of modern WoW, but pasted onto the content that existed on launch day WoW. Just a total fucking mess.

AGS is really creating a brand for itself as the absolute worst publisher in gaming. First releasing trash tier games with New World that somehow get worse over time as they patch them, and now taking a game that looked pretty decent and ruining it with their "localization".

This was changed as of 2 weeks ago, they are releasing with season 2 content, some of the current tier 3 raids, and then they'll be adding the rest over time. They realized how shitty it was to release with 2 year old content.

They have turned a few characters from pale asiatics too tea stained asiatics. That's about the worst censorship I've seen. The character creator apparently has different outfits in the west, but the outfits from the Korean version still exist in game, unchanged.

The shit amazon has done to this game is pretty fucking stupid. Their database solution is apparently so fucking stupid that they can't store unicode without some kind of security vuln or other things glitching. And so names are 12 characters, with a limit of 1 capital letter, and no symbols or spaces. "Spacecowgirl" instead of "Space Cowgirl." Also it feels like their database might be append only, as they are telling people that name changes are near impossible right now. And if you delete your character, that name is locked out completely.

This is something that is completely on Amazon and not Smilegate, as Korean's can have unicode in their name, obviously.

If you think the naming system is indicative of the rest of the game, maybe.

Honestly, everything is shit until it isn't.

If it looks like something you'll like it won't be shit to you.
