Even a 6.5 seems generous to me, but to each their own.

Compare with other Mobile/Cross Platform "dozen game". It much better... See a Silkroad mobile for example...

While I had a tiny bit of hope this would be good in the beginning, it was just boring. A bit better than most mobile MMO's, but still incredibly boring and the gated content releases were weird.

The quality assurance is not there. Subtitles that don't match what's being said, weird animation choices, pacing is all over the place. I genuinely wonder if they used AI voice acting for some of the characters, with how monotonous they sound.

Few glaring flaws in regards PvP. Not only there's a lockout that prevents you from queuing, if you miss a day or two you will be at a massive disadvantage with how the power is distributed. The bulk of your PvP power comes from your ranks, and you can only get a certain amount of ranking currency per day through dailies. Miss a day, and you'll feel the power gap pretty quick.

Stamina system for crafting, similar to how it used to be in ArcheAge. Daily lockouts for dungeons too.

The game had potential, and I felt it innovated in certain aspects, but I felt it was boggled down with your standard Chinese practices that don't necessarily resonate well with a western audience.

My opinions of the game on release are the same as during the beta testing. As a mobile MMO this is one of the best and full featured releases compared to all the self playing, hero collecting, garbage they call MMOs.

However, as a desktop/full featured RPG it is boring and soulless. It looks quite good but commits so many unforced errors between poor translations at times, current gender locking for most classes, exceptionally limited weapons types, and character models not updating with many equips.

This is a mobile mmo that wants to be more, but just can’t get it done. Maybe next time.

There is a real gem of a game here. Getting to cap takes little effort. Once you get to end game. Combat feels solid like old WoW. Dungeon and raids have great mechanics. The leveling process teaches you what is required at end game. Making a somewhat capable end game community. This game is so a dark horse. They have already dropped new raid bosses. Open world PvP zone is coming. You can also have meaningful game play even if you just have 30 min of play time. It's worth the time to invest.

I got bored with it and stopped after about 4 days after hitting endgame which was time gated...if I want that kind of stuff I can just keep playing Solo Leveling.

I've played worse games this year.. not sure what that says.

You mean that different people have different opinions about which games they like?

There's nothing wrong with enjoying unpopular games. I'm probably having more fun playing Uncharted Waters Origin and the very obscure Mazeman than most of you are playing whatever it is that you're playing. As I see it, that means I'm winning.

I work with a guy that thinks making excel spreadsheets is the best thing ever. Yes, people like this do exist.....

So, you're having more fun playing unpopular games than the rest of us are enjoying whatever it is we like?

Hahahaha, yeah. I was just thinking the other day how I wish I could have as much fun as people who play shitty games do.

That's a fortunate characteristic to have if one's job involves making many Excel spreadsheets.

If popular opinion was a determining factor of success only a handful of games would exist.

How many people sit around here whining that there's nothing good to play?

Okay, that's a good point.

After playing for 3 weeks this is a solid 5 for me the PVP is a mess and frankly a waste of dev time, The boss fights (raids) and arcane realm (dungeons) are great content but the whole game feels unfinished and pretty soulless, It also made me miss traditional MMO gear systems where the armour and weapons a player has showed they achieved something armour and weapons cosmetics just removes that and makes things feel cheap.
