Overhyped Game ! many flaws..
Open Beta.....
Goodness this game has no Healers.....
Cant even assign all my extra Mouse Buttons to the hotkeys.. instead i have to use 10+ Keyboard keys
OMG --- Use Z for Skill then V then 1 2 3 4 then E .....
usually i assign all this mess to my mouse buttons..... but its not possible
I played Paladin with two Cryomancers and guess what.... NO heals ! my paladin just dies like an idiot...
923 HP going down slowly.... No regeneration just these bubbles that dont drop on Bosses....
I expected so much about Skyforge and now this Instanced mess.... small Zones for many players.....
As much as i like the nice Grafics and Hubs with the huge Earth to get missions.....
Without Healer and Full Mouse support this game plays like a Torture.......
GO away Skyforge .... what a huge dissapointment.... DC Universe / GW2 etc etc are way better than this
EDIT: MOD please dont close this, its needed to say that this game was so much overhyped and ends up as Dissapointment. i even joined the Hype just from watching the movies on youtube....

Not to sound like an ass, but you dieing as a paladin is totally on you. It's twitch combat, your shield will soak any regular damage and you have to dodge the hits that matter. Stuns and shields, learn to use em.
A priest can help some by throwing an extra shield your way but it's not a game changer. Most of the time I play as tank I am with 2 dps.
I've played for several hours now, but it's what i expected, so i wasn't disappointed about it, since i did some research on it several months ago.
The thing that i dislike the most though, is that combos aren't displayed like other mmos or games. For instance, in Tera, the combos are displayed towards the center of the screen, which makes it easier to see, but in Skyforge, you have to constantly watch the skillbar to execute the combos.
Another thing i dislike, is the absence of a mouse cursor. It's only available on the menu screens, which is annoying, especially if i just want to hover over my skills for tooltips.
The rest of the game doesn't bother me too much.
It's very lobby-based, so if you're expecting an open-world, you'll be disappointed.
You'll also have to unlock the rest of the classes, and you only start with three, so that might be annoying to some people.
Play dragon nest. It's what this game is trying to be and failing. From the shit animations to the worst progression mechanics I've ever seen...just no.
If you're going to make a game with "action" combat it needs to be fluid, well animated, and have weight to it. Skyforge has none of the three.
A game from years ago (dragon nest) does though...go figure.
The whole class thing and the appearance of depth is all superficial, this is just a twitch based arcade game. Its not an RPG or a classic class based combat game.
Just hit dodge allot and spam a couple of abilities and you'll be set.
I got about 1800 prestige all with my Paladin and I have not died once, or even come close to it. Challenging yes, but still have not died. Maybe you should learn how to play before you complain?
I am not a fanboy, I just happen to enjoy the game for what it is. Sorry you don't.

You can assign keybinds for your skills ^^
Game was never overhyped, just the other way around hehe
This game doesnt got heals, just support but that doesnt means the support is some kind of magic being keeping you alive, it supports meaning giving buffs to you and debuffs to enemies but if you take alot of damage or die you cant blame your so called healer anymore ^^ Actually now its the players own fault to not paying attention.
The paladin got his migation shields tho. Try to make good use of that!
I've actually played some of this, while it doesn't have a designated person, when you are out of fights the hp restores really fast, and on bosses everytime you take down a segment of health it drops orbs you can walk over that heal you. In fact some of the stronger enemies (that don't die when you sneeze) can drop healing orbs as well.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
Rather the game is pretty sure underhyped and overdelivered. It's more obvious that OP doesn't know how to play action games.
The mouse support tho, is a touchy object yet to addressed, but you have to understand that the game design is worked obviously around a gamepad. I am just waiting for gamepad support to come out.
in 2-3 weeks more "Skyforge is boring" postings will appear...... and more complaints about its simple gameplay
FOR SOME HERE THAT OBVIOUSLY DO NOT READ BUT FURIOUSLY REPLY TO DEFEND THEIR NEW LOVE >
I didnt talk about assinging Hotkeys to other keyboard keys ok ..... ?! got it ? good
No , the worst is that this game doesnt allow players to assign their own Mousebuttons to Hotkeys....
Finger Acrobatics is the result of this.... Press Z / V / 1 2 3 4 / E / Q
Left right mouse button chain clicking until the fingers hurt.. no Hold attack just Click click....
for the supersmarts >
TRY to assign V to Mousebutton 4
TRY to assign Z to Mouse Button 5
TRY to assign 4 to mnouse button 6
etc etc etc
the game wont let you.....
and thats unprofessional BS
Overhyped with polished Youtube movies .... thats it
The Reason so many people here defend this game is because its free. the Problem and result of F2P is visible in the ingame Chat window were the worst scum of the internet insults each other every 5 seconds. After 10 mins reading the general chat i switched it off. I think i havent seen worse than that in a long while...
If this game would cost $50 with the actual quality it had no chance to survive longer than 2 years.....
But F2P attracts specific people that usually cant pay for a game and they think they can behave as if they are on the streets playing LL superCool J and showing everyone how anonymos and invicible they are through the internet......
There are many many older games on the market way better than Skyforge..
Id prefered to pay 50 Euro or $50 for this game and monthly 12.99 if it was better....
There sure are a lot of shitty paladins blaming everything but themselves every time they die.
It's getting kind of annoying.
It feels like you working for the competition, looking at your posts :P

LOL Ain't that true?
What heals? A Cryomancer has no heals. A Lightbinder has no heals. Who has heals? No one.
Cryomancer is DPS. Lightbinder is support with limited shielding capabilities.
Stop trying to tank like a tank. Learn to read the mobs tells. Learn how to dodge. Learn which mobs need to be taken down first.
Above all else Communicate!
Don't stand in the shit. Don't stand in the way of the Kraken! It will kill you.
Give a kill order. Let the Lightbinder throw their gravity well and pull all the trash together. Let everyone use their AOEs to burn down the trash. After the trash are dead then healers and bubblers are the first kills. Kite the tank mob. Kill the mini-bosses. Last kill is the tank mob.
If you don't like the game thats great but at least read the tutorial. I do missions on my paladin that are labeled impossible. No heals? No problem, because boss monsters drop healing orbs and I only grab them when needed and I use my bubbles when the big damage moves are coming that I can't avoid.
Fair to give this game a bad review but put some effort into playing before you trash it.
You are right, the game has no healer. Support can proactively put up shields to protect against damage but not constantly. Paladin also has to use their own shields and everyone needs to learn to dodge the big attacks. The healing comes in the glowing orbs that drop and yes they do drop from bosses with every bar of health that is removed. If you didn't see them its your fault. If your dps snatched them up then yell at them. Orb management for a group is part of the design.
The ability to bind more mouse keys like 3, 4 and 5 is being worked on. You could also use a mouse that has software to configure all these keys as you choose. That is what I do with my logitech. It works great.
You start with small zones but the open world zones do get huge pretty quickly.
In this game it is on each player to avoid damage because nobody is going to be able to fix your mistakes for you.
All die, so die well.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.
"Extremely overhyped"...?
Eh? what?
I guess I knew 'overhyped' is in the same lazy poster word bin as 'toxic', 'cesspool', and 'entitled' are these days, but it still confuses me when they are so badly used.
Yeah i got into closed beta some time ago. Was hyped. And just ended up being dissapointed.
It was boring, feels clunky, cheap, and its instanced so hardcore.
(((
Really not recommended.
Well said Grunty, i think I was in a run with Ping he did exactly that with his Pally. To many brainwashed trinity wowtards unable to think out of the box.
HINT:
IF you have a mouse with those buttons you have a software that can assign any key to mouse keys. So how about complaining about your inabilty to use a simple software? Just assign those keys to your mouse keys in the software that came with the mouse? Worked fine for me and I am a freaking noob in using the Logitech software. Maybe your mouse manufacturers software is even worse than Logitech but I doubt it.
I changed in the binds in game the Z,V and C I think to 6,7,8 and the ultimate to 9. Then I bound those keys to my G600 Logitech. Can't you do that ? I managed it quite easily.
I also assigned the dodge which is shift+WASD to other binds in my mouse using the Logitech software. I do not understand what your problem is.
Pick the heal blobs that drop during a fight and heal yourself you have to keep an eye for them and go for them to get heals. You can get some shields from the Lightbinder.
