I want to first start this off by saying I started my character last night and had alot of fun with it. Going into it I wasn't sure if my PC could run it with my Nvidia GTX 1650 video card as I have the Acer Nitro 550 ( I think desktop). Anyway, the smoothness for me blew my mind , it was a bit slower than usual at the loading screen but the gameplay was really good.
I chose to try out the tank as I am simply a hacker and slasher by preferences. I liked the abilities and mechanic's so far and I feel I would do tank when the game officially releases.
If there was one thing I would change currently and I'm sure others have brought this up. It's the quests you accept , I find that I'm squinting my eyes to read whenever I accept a new one. I think it would be awesome if you could enlarge the font a little bit and if there is alot of text we could just scroll through it opposed to hurting our eyes trying to read.
The final thing for me is more of a suggestion that I believe would be good for the mmo and I believe you would gather interest from other players that arent so fond of a monthly subscription to play. Perhaps have game cards that offer hours of play vs 2 month subscription ( 60 days like WoW ). I think it's fair in this sense because I may hop on and play 1 month out of the two which would be a wasted expense in my opinion. Personally, I feel it would be great if you would offer a card with like 200 hours of gameplay ( just a suggestion) and our time runs out based on how much we play it. You can still have the subscription for players that would prefer that or maybe game out alot more than I do. I just think this would be a great alternative for the player that doesn't have alot of free time on their hands and this would be a good fix for it in my opinion.
Overall , I'm liking alpha so far.
Good work team ! I'm excited for the future of AOC 👌
