I was being optimistic when i bought this. Community is very helpful and nice. Music is pretty good, nice variety from what i've been listening to. Right away you're thrust into the game after choosing a class (they mostly felt similar except for looks) and you have to read a tutorial to get any sense of whats going on and it doesn't fully explain everything. Leveling up skills and whatnot ends up being what you do most of the time and some of it can be automated. It gets to a point where you're lvling up stats by the millions almost right away. Server Wide Buffs are up fairly often and a catchup mechanic is in place. This takes from my own enjoyment, it feels like cheating and makes my choices not really matter. i played for almost a whole day, actively in the game window just upgrading nonstop and having no sense what stats are great and how mechanics work unless i asked for help. The end goal seems to be Ascending which you can't do as fast as the catch up mechanics normally allow, because it requires your Gems to be higher and higher lvl'd. but Gems lvl up slow as hell so you're now gated by time. Boss fights are a joke, you queue up get ported into a room with some other players or your party and wack an obscenely high lvl boss for 5 minutes not even knocking down 1% HP. Then you get a reward window for some currency you will spend asap. nothing happens during the fight, it just stands there menacingly. Gear system is alright, lots of frequent drops and set bonuses can be interesting. Combat is just autocasting spells/skills and some proc on cast passives. you have no influence over your character besides pressing buttons to increase stats. oh and you can drag your skills around on your hotbar to change casting priority. Runes are a currency to change your skills somewhat, like making a single target skill have an increasing chance at hitting multiple targets, or changing a spell into a DoT. All in all, it has a decent amount of progression systems but is still somewhat barebones. it is lacking an endgame progression system of some kind because right now only Ascending is the end game and its not very satisfying. I know idle games are pointless, but i paid to play this one and it ended up making my pointless upgrades and choices even more pointless by overleveling me straight out of the gate and i am unable to refund after trying to see whats in store myself.
