This game has potential in a way but it will not last. Games that allow every player to have the same stuff as, not only your realm mates, but the enemy side as well.
Sure you can make abilities as intricate as you want but the shelf life of that kind of play is short lived. Look how fast ESO sucked and they actually have specific class abilities you can use but even that gets old as everyone uses the same meta when games give everything to everyone. Its boring and shelf life dwindles fast.
Looking around to see every person have the same several 'builds' will get old. Game will be new and everyone will explore and people will say hey that allows people to experiment and come up with a build all their own......an that sounds great.
But it never happens after content has been out for more than 2 weeks because everyone figures out the new tweek to use an then everyone but a few weirdos follow and meta meta meta god that sucks.
Races should have very specific abilities and race defining characteristics that MEAN SOMETHING.
Gender would be nice to have different traits for each.
And Class biggest of all should be VERY different and defining and this game? Just a mish mash of abilities that players will level up to max very fast and then everyones the same after 3-6mo.
Gaming companies that just open window abilities to every race, class, gender are just lazy and are making a huge mistake. The only way to make that last is to have updates every few months to change the meta or itll just be the same ole same ole.
Really had hope for this game beta testing and everything else seems pretty good, not buggy as I would have thought. But the EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL with abilities with nothing special for class and race is a game killer and certainly will kill this game fairly quickly.
Sad thing is it is likely far too late to even change that direction so this game is just doomed. Its not even as cool as ESO and that game tanked far worse than anyone wanted.
Because everyone getting the same thing gets old, creates meta builds so not only do you have the same abilities but to compete due to the last patch #31324 you need meta build adfad vs meta build asdrfas that was good 2 weeks ago, now is broken.
Superfans will just either dismiss or rage at this, doesnt really matter, after ESO im done with dull companies that kick out bland games that are already lockboxed into a playstyle of wait for the new meta when new patch x comes out. That is just lazy bullshitake. Rant all you want about this post but 6mo into the game release watch it dwindle.
Like every other game that pulls this lazy crap.
