All the character models looks the same. I can´t tell who is the wizard, knight or archer, before i inspect my teammates through their portrait. I am trying to position my healing spell correctly, but I need to look at the names above my teammates heads, to see who is who, and who is low on health. Not to mention, that there is no option to see player health bars. So good luck healing/countering with stuns, if you don´t look at the left side of the screen, at the player portraits, constantly.
I don´t know if I have just been extremely unlucky, but the chat has been down, around 65% of my play time.
I have been playing very much on/off, but this is my experience so far
(currently level 43).
If you are going to make a co-op/MMO game, you better make sure that your players can communicate with each other. Hell, I haven´t even exchanged ONE message with a guildmate yet, due to these issues.
The guys creating this game have done well I think!
But I REALLY feel that your business-model is holding the game back. Baiting me into opening premium, and useless, chests in the early game, and then slapping me in the face, with an extremely limited inventory space after that. TLDR: This game is a GOOD game, but it is held back by this crappy business model.
½ the time, (or more), the in game chat is not working, PLUS the party finder is often broken as well.
The chat window is also way, WAY too big, compared to the rest of the game window. I am never going to have the chat open, when it is like that. It needs to be, at least, more transparent, so it does not obstruct the game field too much. When the chat implementation is so poor, the community, and sense of that big MMO-scale suffers a lot!
On the positive side, I really like the skills, (from the wizard class), although there are no skills I haven´t seen before in games like Diablo and WoW etc. The progression system and the graphics/art style is above average. The music is also good, although the variety of it is very very limited. We also need to be able to kick players from our group if we want to do that! It is an incredibly important thing, in a group based ´MMO´!
I really like this game, but there are some very obvious improvements to be made.
