Multiple control scheme sounds good on paper but in practice, free aiming is just gonna be tab-target trying to disguise itself as action combat like GW2 or Neverwinter.
Magarey actually began his cosplay career in Hong Kong,
China (he moved there in 2006), performing heavy metal covers of Chinese pop
songs in his Lolita dress and childish ponytails. People would walk up to him
and say "That was crazy, you should go to Japan, because the Japanese
would love this." So he went.

Onerous monetization practices, hacking, exploits and bugs will likely overshadow any positive features or gameplay this title offers.
Just the way of things these days.
This is pretty much my thinking now....."Oh, look, yet another F2P MMO! But this one is gonna be totally different than the 588,000 other F2P games out there!"
Soooooo sick of hearing that sort of talk, but this is about all we see anymore. Yay another cash-shop based game, free to play but pay to enjoy.
Praise Allah for the existence of single-player games that don't remind me to pony up for items every time I start them up.

3 of these 5 were about PvP, which is the least important part of a MMORPG with any longevity. If anything, that's turned me off of the game.
Quite true, but then remember: the easiest way to get the wallet warriors excited is to offer so-called "open world" PvP, which is the worst, weakest excuse for PvP in existence. As soon as you let the credit card champions pay money so that they can "pwn noobs" (read: so they can go hunt players 25 levels below them), you've got yourself a successful "free to play" game!!

I like the asian style more than western grimdark metal burkha, but it does get a little stale. The main beef I have with this game is that the combat feels just a tad floaty but I'm willing to give it another shot in case the floatiness was just animation not synching due to poor-ish latency. i dunno
I read it's just another P2W with the same BIS mechanics as other eastern mmo's like AA with an RNG crafting/upgrading system tied to the cash shop. I'll pass.
Try it and think for yourself.
That's what I plan on doing... not going to make a decision until I give it a chance.
Absolutely can't wait for this game to be released. My one and only hope is that it won't be another cash grab like ArcheAge and BlackDesert... It looks like a combination of Aion, Blade&Soul, L2 and BlackDesert/ArcheAge. Hopefully the game will get enough attention
the main story questing is 5/10 ....the 5 points is the story is "fun" and interesting somehow a bit "asian cliche" girl taking a bath on a waterfall ....while we spy included....
but the worse is that 90% of the quests are , talk to that guy , click on something....the other 10% is fight 3 mobs , or 1 boss ....is the mmorpg with less fighting that i have seen .....u have dungeons (daily quest that tell u to go to dungeons ) but leveling 1-45 (i stoped at 45) i fighted almost a dozen of times while doing the Main missions...side quests are more of kill mobs around the world but so far u dont need side quest for leveling at all (at least on CN server)
dungeons looks ton of fun , u can do solo , normal (5 man) , hard (5 man) , i guess in normal u can try with 4 dps 1 heal , or 4 dps 1 tank , but hard requires vanguard and Spirit for sure
didnt try pvp at all....
Flying is like aion , but u can sprint while flying and the meter recharge , Wings have durability and once depleted u fly slower and need to repair , there is portals around , u can sprint , double jump and glide like BnS....
battles are ok , if u have played any mmorpg u will get it in no time , is based around "red circles" on the ground
The world is amazing , from forest , desert , snow , lakes , is beatifull , the art is the best thing so far.
If it's FTP I don't mind wasting a bit of bandwidth to download the game. I only tend to get a couple of weeks of gameplay out of these Asian grinders before boredom sinks in and I move back to my old MMO rotation, but as long as I had a bit of fun playing its worth the effort.
My number one rule with Asian MMO's is to go in with low expectations and enjoy the ride before all the negatives of the game become overwhelming. Hopefully one day I will find a keeper (BDO nearly made it).
Oh god...another crap'olah F2P import MMORPG from Asian developers. Archeage, BDO, Aion, Lineage2...seriously, when will they learn? When will WE learn? Lord knows, since they keep cranking these craptastic games out, that suck more more money than a sub game. Even if some did start as a sub game, they obviously couldn't hold their salt.
Seriously though, when I see "Korean" or "Chinese" developed mmorpg. I automatically put it as an after thought, because they're all pretty much the same in terms of art style and game mechanics, add or minus a few gimmicks. Markets saturated enough as it is, and this game isn't going to make much of a difference, since they've pretty much checked the entire list of "what to avoid" in an mmorpg.
Know why the game is gaining recognition,it is paying people,sites,you tubers to endorse it.
Try it and think for yourself. That's what I plan on doing... not going to make a decision until I give it a chance.I definitely cannot argue with that logic,but a LOT of games out there do not offer a 100% chance to try a game,we actually see MOST asking for money up front which is very lame.So if you MUST get a code to try it and cannot,then what,just hand over money on a whim?
Right now sites are giving away CBT codes if you simply click through to allow those sites to get recognition from MY.com.It works within the LAW by not outright endorsing as an unannounced PAID endorsement but in laments terms is most certainly a paid endorsement because money is changing hands. Point being,VERY few would care about another same old ,new skin if not shoved into our face via marketing. Geesh if all i did my entire life was follow marketing,i would be one unhappy gamer,i would not be playing anything good.Thank god i search around endlessly looking for real quality games.
I personally see nothing anyone can say to warrant playing this game over anything already on the market.I will just keep playing the games i already have and love until something of actually quality comes along.

Just NO.
After you have played a few of them they all look alike. The dolphin spell was beyond ridculous too.
I just don't grasp why people like these games.

And you won't have to play Pantheon so it really makes no difference what you think. Plenty of fast fix mmo's for you to play, choice is great isn't.
That's it baby!
And the occultist class
