The style and game play are good, there's gaps in questing that result in being time gated behind waiting on daily resets or grinding for hours on end.
Combat needs help, the target system.... is there.
Ground target spells... Well to be honest that whole system is garbage, there's an option to make them quick cast, but they just fire off in random dirrections half the time, not where your mouse is, or where you are looking.
The UI needs a overhaul, if you have target lock on and someone is standing behind your UI you will target them and start focusing on them. The player shop system makes the main town unbearable with 200-300 shops up at all times, it makes it really hard to navigate or even click on npc's in some cases.
The cash shop... Where to begin, the prices are beyond stupid. And it has pay to win elements in it.
Upgrading gear and it fails? Buy a repair kit, for cash.
Need more bank space because the whole like 14 slots they give you isn't enough? Buy a bigger plot for like $30 usd.
Oh you died, for cash gems you can rez instantly and not have to start that fight or dungeon all over again.
Pet that picks up loot, yep that's cash also.
Want more than 2 hours a day after level 50 for auto fighting? Your buying VIP for a MINIMUM of 25$ a month, up to like $45
Oh, let's not forget the best part, almost everything in the shop is priced so you have to do more than one purchace of gems to buy it. It's not a system where they price it where a single transaction will cover it, everything is just over, so you either have to get a more expensive pack, or buy the one that's just under it and a smaller one. then you are left with leftover gems, not enough to do anything with, but enough so you're like, hey I could buy another small pack to get item X,
Oh and the fact there are pvp zones where movement speed matters, you can buy faster mounts and wings. Making the fight unfair, well even more so than players that spend money on repair kits when buffing weapons.
As it stands, end game and pvp are for whale players and no one else, vip get bonus xp, 50% more afk fight time, and other bonuses. You have to spend as much money as a great indy game to get any real bank space or bag space. And progressing weapons past +4 is so prohibitive it's crazy, Oh also, you can sell shop items in game, where even on the new server things are going for tens of millions of gold, you might earn 3 million by level 50 where all your gear if you can't get it to drop will cost more per piece than what you've made so far.
Also the only gear that is general use is trinkets like rings, neck, ears, and bracelet, all weapons are class locked (So you have a 1/6 chance of something usable, even though there is a mirror of all 3 actual classes male/female classes are the same but different some how....) and all gear is gender locked.
Oh and if you want to mine, don't bother till level 50, The zone for it is locked behind a level requirement, and there's a hand full of nodes in the world you can mine at, There are bats that drop the ore, but after grinding gold bats for 30 mins and not getting a single drop that I needed for a quest in the mid 30's I gave up on it.
In the last 5 hours I've seen 8 people automating game play making it so players can't fight the mobs needed to progress quests. Brought it up on the discord and was told by a game admin, you have to go to their website to report it. But their "Anti-cheat" won't do anything, literally saw someone macroing for 6 hours in one spot yesterday, they have a captcha to detect botters that will ban if you don't put an answer in in 2 mins, so you know, don't get up to use the bathroom or do anything else if you are playing by hand. Because if you miss it, you'll probably get banned.
When the admins were told about lag in discord they responded with "There's no lag" even though general chat was complaning about it in game. Gave verry "There is no war in ba sing se" Vibes. Instant denial of any issues without investigating anything.
