    Well, it's better than Bless Unleashed. That's all I got for now. Seems decent. Only played for an hour or so.

    Eh it's not great imo, I mean it's not terrible but very generic and for some reason the textures/artwork/graphics do not look as good as New World IMO.

    The combat so far is just meh spammy of LB or RB so far with a few skills in the 1-9 keys, granted that could change since I am not far in yet.

    Is it still using UE3?

    I think so.

    I'm kind of in the camp that its not amazing. Since this has a price tag along side New World, I think New World will win atm unless it gets delayed again. I haven't started up pvp yet though, but I'm not a big pvp person either. Just my thoughts.

    This...... this is what they came up with years after redeveloping the game? Terrible.... not worth the investment. Seems so generic and bland.

    So far it's pretty fun! The combat is smooth and responsive, animations feel spot on too.

    How is this a new game? Seems like 2006 graphics at best....

    You guys seem to forget these games aren't new... They just take a long time to come to the US/EU

    Unfortunately Elyon was one the fastest uninstalls I did in a long time.
    Of all the generic asian MMOs this is by far the most generic of them all.

    Back when it was labeled as A:IR it at least had a steampunk theme to stand out but this is just a 'put everthing in one bowl' and I mean litteraly everything. I'm talking Knights on hoverboards and stuff with a generic design you've seen in every single mobile fantasy RPG.

    Game doesn't run smooth on a RTX3070 (shocking for a UE3 game, I know!) while graphics are just mediocre.

    The only thing that was ok was the combat. I've seen worse but I've also seen way better.

    All in all I found it even a lot worse than Bless Unleashed.

    Still I wish them well just so that our beloved genre gets more profitable and therefore continues to have a comeback.

    Game is fluid, it has nice graphics especially if you play around with the filters.

    The characters feels a little bit low-poly and is sort of zoomed out. I can't get the details on my armor unless I zoom in super close and fuck up my field of view.

    Buuut pretty much ... if you've played TERA online, this is basically it. Less sexualized. Combat is action-ish but heavy hitters root you in place. Combos are easy to follow.
    So far mobs spawn in waves and I crush them in few hits.

    I kinda like the new take. Just don't think this MMO has any long-term retainment possibility.

    Even though the UI is super clean and out of your way I still feel it's cluttered. I guess I'm old and grumpy but I really don't like it when 3rd person games lock my mouse and camera. But that's a personal pet-peeve. New World has the same issue for me, but it's not as "in your face" there.

    Would've been cooler if I wasn't a demi-god at low level and they spent the time to teach me blocking/dodging mechanics. Then again, Guild Wars 2 doesn't do it either and in there dodging is a vital mechanic. Weird.

    P.S: Game runs fine on my RTX 3070, contrary to the poster above. It doesn't dip below 60 fps. It only freezes when it's loading new terrain. A mediocre SSD would alleviate this issue but I installed it on the hard drive, so... (don't like installing beta tests in general on SSD, given it could wreck them)

    Junk. Massive p2w shop, maybe the worst I have ever seen. And full of paid trolls to trash you each time you say something bad about the game. Steam forums are insane. Ingame chat is toxic beyond my expectations. Hard pass.

    No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

    This is going to be another Astellia Online because it wont even last 1 year. Feels like a bad game from 10 years ago. I will keep playing Bless Unleashed because its 100 times better.

    Alright tried it to be fair.



    It's a tab target game pretending to be an action combat game.



    The game and colors look flat, I have to strain my eyes trying to distinguish players, npc's, mobs from the environment. My character is just really small, I feel detached. Zooming in changes perspective and it's pretty awful.



    Game looks and feels like it is from 2010.



    No UI scaler, sucks for us blind folk cause its tiny as hell.



    Published by Kakao, it'll get the BDO treatment. Enjoy that P2W, cashgrab style monetization.



    I couldn't Alt+F4.


    So it's faking action combat like GW2?



    Not sure where you are faking action combat in Gw2 to be honest.



    Good luck with about 90% of abilities if tab targeting is all you use.



    And especially good luck on passing the initial ranks in the PvP arenas if tab targeting is all that you do ;)

    At worst, it's a hybrid, but calling it non-action just invalidates your whole opinion to anyone that has played Gw2 for longer than 15 minutes.

    I thought Bless Unleashed was bad (not that it's really that bad, just not my cup 'o tea). At least Bless U is beautiful...

    This game is Bad.

    I made it to level 30 and I'm not ever sure what I did. Just mashed some buttons and "reached my destination" via the END key. The solo dungeon was kind of fun, but the rest of it was poo. The UI is just a giant shortcut for all the different things you can collect. Quests, missions, runestone, runestone skills, dismantle, repair, combine, collections, skills, inventory, attendance, dungeons, pvp.

    And it's buy to play?

    Not really sure how it's going to survive.

    didnt like it , gameplay is meh , tera has better gameplay

    i liked the skill customization , and the glide

    disliked the gem system , thats thing screams p2w

    leveled to 30 in 2h? fast but the main story stops and u need to do green quests , that are all stacked on a npc , kill things , or click things 99% of quests , i found a minigame quest

    B2P ? dont know why would any1 buy that game when it doesnt bring anything

    Performance was "ok" albeit for unknow reasons npcs take sometime to load textures ?¿? appear as gray figures for 2-3s
