Alpha Two Phase II

First, been playing MMO's since 1999 (Asheron's Call) and just started playing Alpha 2 on Friday. Enjoying Verra so far!

Feedback Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1. This may be a tough one... but it is frustrating to get penalized (lose stuff) when you DL from like Freeze frames... I am not sure how you would keep players from exploiting this... but if you could... would be nice not to lose stuff because of a game crash.
2. I have a GTX 4070 and I9 Proc with 32Gigs ram and I can only run on low settings... I hope this will get optimized
3. Fix collision issues with mounts... it is annoying getting stopped by a pebble.
4. Fix chat... It is hard to message people, and would be nice to have the ability to scroll up on things you said or click the name to whisper someone.


Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback
1. I am enjoying the leveling in this game... It is "Grindy" but please keep that. It has a rewarding feel to it.
2. When you get a good group, there is a lot of synergy and it makes grouping fun. I haven't enjoyed leveling with groups in a while and I am enjoying it here.
3. Enchantment - Please don't make it too Black Desert Online-ish
4. Better designate attributes and power rating... I have a really hard time knowing what level items are without using the Codex, and its kinda hard to translate the currrent "Damage" and "Mitigation" numbers to something useful.
5. Please don't make quests a central focus if its just the usual kill 10x's and 15y's.

So far, like I said... enjoying it!

    Just asking out of curiosity: ... why not? If you enjoy the current levelling experience - which is just killing mobs - in what way is it worse to do just that but within a narrative and mechanical structure which quests provide? At the end of the day, you still grind by just killing mobs.

    My experience (which is pretty extensive in MMO's) is that in some way or another questing gets tied into core functions of the game that make them unavoidable and / or less efficient / effective if you DON'T do them. If questing is a core part of the game, I just don't want it to be the same - pick up these 15 daily quests and kill these 30 mobs... Black Desert Online burned me out doing that. Make questing more interesting.
