Echoing my first impression of the game, only 1 thing improved imo

Describe the Problem
The resolution, graphics, boringness when I look around the world and tiny text when I check the objectives hurt my eyes so much I can't even for the rest of today. It looks horrible on my computer and while I know there are probably steps I can take to change my settings, I'm not going to do that. Let's be real. I too am suffering from a shorter attention span.
The graphics are just so hyper realistic and I'm not going to enjoy playing this game if something doesn't drastically change. I play to escape with interactive imagination and puzzle solving games in the alternate reality invented by someone's imagination. Sometimes accomplishable solo, requiring strategy thinking and sometimes requiring group strategy. That sounds like fun.
It matters because I can already tell that I'm never going to play probably even half the subscription included in my plan.
And the keybindings are so awkward.
It affects my game play because it's too difficult and boring to play, it feels like a lot of time invested just to get the basics down in a game genre that has been pretty well developed at this point, so it feels boring and reminds me of the things I hate about 'grinding' in an MMO. It's not just the grinding for in game resources and status, its the grinding through tutorials and forum posts for help doing a simple thing, like a quest step or changing the keybindings.
Something improved. I did not die immediately 30 times when I logged in this time. So that's a win.

Regarding the UI and the keybinds, if you're not willing to change your settings to how you want them, then I dunno what more Intrepid can do for you.
yep , couldnt agree more
everything small ,the scale is messed up even the text it does hurt my eyes when i try to read it and mind you i am 26 with perfect vision yet it all look so small and blurry,UI looks small,confusing, overstuffed,bad and uninspired, the characters are worse than concord,the mobs are mostly smaller version of irl animals, the world is boring,looks soulless and Ai generated, there is no diversity in the biomes or fantasy whatsoever, there is nothing that you look at that makes you think its cool and make you want to explore it, its all too complicated,too grindy too tedious, its all about punishing players instead of making them have fun ..etc thats how the whole game is designed.
its really sad when you open any other mmo no matter how terrible and bad they are you still get that sense of fantasy and new world when you start it...that does not exist in ashes and that should tell you something or well how bad or wrong they are making the game i guess.
