The interface is so busy that is annoying there is about 10 different function around the minimap. There is another 10 next to the hotbar of your general mmo options. When you open one of those general option like character tab(c) you get another 5 tabs in there relic, dta, title, etc...
But my bigger problem is that the interface look like one of those 4years old asian mmos. Not only that, but I feel like I seen the same shitty font in many other asian mmos.

Can I have your stuff?
gave up trying to install this piece of crap on my w7 64!
tried all day 2 w7 64 reinstall because that trash was eating my gig like candy !screw that game!
i wish it installed as smoothly as pwi!for some wierd reason left hand dont speak to right hand because this one is a nightmare for me!
Windows 7 64bit also. Game is running smoothly for me. Installed and playing fine here.
did you install today or you installed a while back!
installed and worked fine for me and i downloaded it on Sunday. windows 7 64-bit
im enjoying the game, but refuse to play it regularly as at the end of closed beta our toons will be deleted. the 2.5d is a nice change of pace and makes the game feel different for me. I play 3D MMOs or FPS most of the time.
it is a typical F2P MMO, so no one should expect innovation. it has it's style and not everyone is going to like it. the game was basically released in China years ago and now it's open in NA, so this game isn't something new, but it at least has some polish.

That's because it is. All of the PWE** games use almost identical interfaces with very few differences.

This game is horrid... Reasons?
- doesn't bring anything new to MMORPG world, almost every feature of this game was already done somewhere
- it being an RPG is questionable - assuming how you get to quest areas as an example
- the camera handling and movement just... >facepalm< I don't even know if it's 3D or 2D... or maybe it's just stuck somewhere in between... horrid...
- classes and PvP might sound interesting but then again since it's "by Perfect World" i suspect that game just after release will change into heavy Pay 2 Win game, which is yet another downside of it...
After 15 minutes of that game, because that's how long my sense of good taste could handle, all I can say that it reminds me of all those old, crappy MUDs.
I see no future for this game. It's neither revolutionary to the market nor spectaculary made. Yet another game to play for few minutes, say meh, and go look for something else.
Of course it will find many people who like it THAT way, but it's their free time to waste.
Everything I've done so far can be described as dull .
The interface makes me /facepalm at the sheer messyness of it.
The world has no introduction at all before you're thrust into it.
In the first chapter they seem to have tried to distill the 'The Mummy' movie franchise into a game setting (over the course of an hour or two), but failed even more miserably than the movies themselves, because:
1) Monsters lack any sort of individuality; they stand around in huge groups that die if you so much as brush against them. The design of them is unimaginative and just weird at times (why the fuck are there large groups of Gestapo-like officers running around outside some magical artifacts) and the overall behaviour is run-->smash, no tactics at all; not even for bosses.
Less=more, a couple of mummies jumping out of a coffin or creeping up from under the ground is cool, 5000000000 identical mummies standing in a room is not.
2)World is inconsistent and lacks introduction: over the course of less than 2 hours I went from: Strange Astral platform --> Egyptian desert--> Jungle-->Egyptian Tomb-->Plains with floating artifacts-->Outside ancient Chinese tomb
All these only distinguishable by a different copied ground texture and different packs of mobs (who do exactly the same as all the others).
The question WHY???!! comes to mind, and is answered like this: I scared scorpion--> Strange Ground phenomenon-->Strange things going on outside tomb-->I scared mummy-->Risen scorpion thing-->Kill-->Strange stuff in China-->Risen Dragon guy-->kill
3) Combat is basically click on something, wait, click on something wait. If you can't stand that, you can also press nr.2 periodically and when you level up, you can even gather a bunch of mobs and kill them all right away by pressing nr.3.
Oh goody.
4) You are occompanied by an Immortal Coala armed with a handsaw. If they filled all the zones of this game so far with only Immortal Coala's, I might have even used the cash shop to find the biggest squasher available to kill Immortal Coala's in large numbers (oh wait)...
...
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
my advice?steer clear of the beta!perfect world is a great company but this isnt ready !one exemple if you got w7 64 the site say you might have to deactivate uac,some player event suggested to deactivate our protection!
come on guys get real!if their game doesnt even trigger my screen to ask an autorisayion because the game take too much time doing what it does .its a flaw at the designer end not gamer lol.
say away for now wait till its officially released they ll have fixed the various issue plaguing it
right now you ll just hate what might have been a great game if issue haddent arised!
I didn't get far in, the graphics and camera angle were just absolute killers. I could not imagine myself staring at this for more hours to come without going crazy. However, it may appeal to some, so I would suggest trying it out and seeing if it is to your liking.
I turned it off after ~20mins, my bro still plays it in next room, he says he's 30already without going off, so that means it may be hooking i think...
So five years ago this game would have been mildly entertaining. Of course its raw, but its beta. It's funny how you imagine a game is going to be and then it just turns out to be "Battle of the Whateversnotinteresting".
People compare it to Diablo lol. Diablo is like a Holy Grail whereas this would be like a cup you spit chew into.
I played to level 25 and I was gritting my teeth the whole time to try to keep playing. Here's the thing...I am a PW fan to a non-embarassing degree, but this game is a lame duck with way too much hype.
Ok PW uber-fans, I don't mean to say it's a big pile of crap, but if we are being honest....cmon people.
beats me i heard a lot about forsaken world but this title boi
not much really ony the diablo and dota fan (true they make a huge pile of player seeing the number of various similar game on xfire top 50 game lol)
i like the game i can deal with the UI the cam lock and the set 3rd person veiw . i can deal with it beings the games clean, even on my laptop sitting out side on a wifi connection i have no lag . its fast paced lvling with out the need for grinding if you wish not to. in a attempt to lessing gold sellers activity in this game "come OB" the drops do not include any items of value to sell to npc's so gold farmers would have to play and quest just like us real players . quests drop a great deal of money and theres "low on cash "quests that drop tons of freaking gold.
the cash shop is set up in a way you could get threw the game with all the little cash shop extras you want with out buying cash shop ever . its a 3 part cash shop pay money/earn items/and aquired wealth from massed online time.
the crafting system is intence , it will take months to make out crafting skills.
all and all i have fun in this game . i love the fact that after lvl 30 you can store exp and lvl up when you want to not when the exp dings woohoo lvl up time. thats great for finishing up all those stray quests to keep on your quest line.
If i could get them to change anything in this game it would be to have the instance/named monsters STOP TALKING IN CHAT BOX. it really sucks when your hitting the end boss the party has to talk this end boss wont STFU so the chat just scrolls away.
just my 2 cents
found my first real nono about this game!but its a major one!(at least in my view)
combat aid!basicly you set all these once done you let it do 25+min or so i saw dont know if theres a limit on this but its a major nono
but i guess i was the onlu one fealing that way because last time i saw so many server fill up so quickly it was aion!
The fact that it's in beta =p. Can't really get into a hack n slash level fest when all the level festing is going to be wiped in a week or two. Played enough to get an idea of it, now just waiting for "open beta" aka "release" to hit. Pretty fun, obviously a bit hokey as far as the crappy font types and I really wish something with this much attention put into the equipment wasn't isometric, but fun for what it is. Probably won't stay with it for long though, as I personally feel the isometric hacknslash disconnect prevents games like this from actually being anything remotely like a "world" based MMO, so it kinda gets relegated to "time waster" in my game classifications.

Diablo minus the story wasn't all that great, and the first one was probably the best while 2 was pretty much carried by its narrative. 3 is going to be a cesspool. You know, just while we're being honest here...
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

You have basically summed up exactly my thoughts on the game - on every point. Which is good... saves me the typing
.
Seriously, though... I got about 1 hour into playing and, same as you, I kept saying to myself "Where the hell is this going? I'm level 15 and have no flipping clue what is going on." The whole game feels like a disjointed, schizophrenic mess to me. Just as you'r settling into the current setting - they're pushing you into another one, that's just randomly sitting there. "Oh.. a plane crash in the des... hey who put this jungle here, kinda random to put a jungle in the... what? A tomb?"
and the cash shop selling asphalt..." - Mimzel on F2P/Cash Shops
Im having fun so far im a 51 magus with my 45 soul weapon the dungeons are fun the pvp is fun the only thing i dont like is the camera lock and the health/mana regen but its my fav of the PWE games ill play it for sure when open beta comes around
BLASMEPHY!!
Playing: Starcraft II.
Played: Tibia, Ragnarok Online, Ultima Online, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft.
Wanna play: Guild Wars 2, SW:TOR, Final Fantasy XIV, Diablo III.
Last day of CB and I have been playing since servers opened and yes I will play in OB and release. I actually like the disjointedness of this game. It is quirky and a little odd, I enjoy the changes from Dragon Emperor to Mermaids to Egyptian Mummies. For those whom have missed it the basics are taken from The Mummy movies and a little from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchises.
For those who complained about wsad and camera angles you words have been heard. WSAD is now implemented and camera changes are in the pipeline. I think is going to be one of those games you either love it or hate it. Agreed it does have issues and as this was a CB PWE now have a chance to go away and address these issues.
Remember this is not a new game, it has been out in Chinese for around a year now. The English version is new to the world and as usual the rest of the world has differing expectations to the Chinese speaking gamer. The Dev's are making a conscious effort to improve the game driven by you the gamer and supported by the PWE project manager.
I look forward to future expansions and improvements.
I see so many movie references and things i think border on infringement, although im not a lawyer so i dont know. There may be enough change done but the changes are so slight that they might as well just cut and paste the original idea
I have seen the transformers symbol on a car mount. Well auto bots symbol not decepticons lol
The dragon emperor (we all know it was taken from the mummy movie) is jet li. the face is way too similar.
A number of mage like npc's look like sir ian mckellan playing gandalf....similarities are just as uncanny as jet li npc lol
Laura croft is in the starter area as a teleport npc, every detail is there. Pony tail, dual pistols strapped to thighs and big bust. oh and dont forget the pony tail, but this time its with some bangs lol
Someone found a pet called soul reaper that looks identical to a pokemon. Only a slight change in shape of a couple details, but its basically identical.
Someone also said one of the mounts has BMW on the side of it.....the other side is a mirror image though and says WMB.
As much as i can enjoy the game, theres just things about it that worry me in the future, like the above lol
I do give credit to the constant gm presence on the forums answering questions and giving updates, and to the speed at which some of our requests were made.
I like this game but its not something i can see myself "getting into" fully. I will run dungeons and do the group things and enjoy my time with guildies, but i dont think ill be doing long grinds and speed to the top, i just wont be able to stay in game for long periods of time like i do in the other games i play.
I think that may be do to the lack of immersion. Yeah pretty much the majority of mmos lack it a great deal, but like others have said, the disjointed nature of everything just kinda takes you out of it. I like he quirky aspect of it but it doesnt bring you into any type of story. Yes there is a main story line but its dry.
The hype, as usual, was over done and some people were disappointed with their expectations. But with a free to play game, you need to set expectations a bit lower and hope to be surprised
The game.
I've spent every second in-game to figure how to tilt the camera to see forward. Must have come to a conclusion there's no way to do this. I don't walk looking the tips of my shoes and I definitely won't play a game where I can't see my surroundings. It's a shame really, didn't get a chance to see the actual game.
I also agree the interface is a mess and the font makes this game look cheap.
