I’ve been in beta for a few weeks, and everyone on the forums complains about casting being weak compared to melee, not the other way around. Plus, I haven’t seen or heard of anyone using any aim-bots in the beta. Maybe that was before my time, but if so, they seem to have fixed it or done something, since I haven’t seen one mention of it on the forums or in game. There are some speed hacks that people were exploiting, but they recently released a patch that was supposed to address this.

5-6 engine revamps later its not looking bad. Still, it has its super selective player base. Its not going to be one of thos HUGE mmos out there that change anything.

Its nice that it is 1 huge world, you do have some hitching due to changing zones (much like Vanguard) Nothing has really changed since i was in its beta last fall as well as this one. Ganking and griefing is all that is to this game so far.

Melee in this game is really REALLY weak compared to the ranged (casters especially). The main thing that has gotten me to quit beta after beta after beta (been in 3 of them so far) is the fact that you must travel is decently large packs. If you travel in groups or 2-3 your dead. They are still working out the kinks but as of last week when i quit the beta again, there were people using an auto-aiming bot so you couldn’t get close to them before you died.

The game is attractive but appart from graphics being a bit off-putting I can already see some archetypes dominating others: what can you do against an archer shooting at you from bushes or from branches when you’re melee ?

Seeing as the game is the closest thing to reality you can have from an MMO, sniper characters will dominate small scale PvP and ganking in the wild.

People will also obviously always travel together and the ones that just got into the game and have no clan or friends yet will get stomped.

The game has potential but the griefing will ruin it IMO.
