I tried to give this game a real chance. I myself love tanking and dungeon grinding and doing raids. But this game is simply like biting into moldy bread and pretending the meat comes later, only to keep tasting the moldy bread over and over and trying to find something to help wash the taste out.
As a new player to this game, Nothing at all is clear and nothing points in any direction on how to do simple things. I couldn't find a merchant anywhere for the longest time, and when I did, even selling items was a chore. In fact, everything I did was a chore. Crafting is over complicated and over grindy. Quests are over Grindy. Monsters are over grindy.
There isent even a decent story to hook you. So back to skip skip skip. Lets treat it like any other early 2000's Mmo from Asia.
Did we not learn anything from previous MMOS? Monster tagging at early game is sin, especially on quest monsters. Grinding monsters for quest items is also a major no no because its anti fun.
I spend about 2 hours simply trying to load into the game after many crashes, only to eat moldy bread. In fact, everything about this game has been nothing but a bad experience to me and anti fun.
I requested a refund. Will purchase when game is in a much better spot.
