I tried this game a little and I agree with the barren overworld. This game needs: More destructible items. More weapons. More Characters. Hidden treasures. Random world bosses. Random events in the overworld that can escalate becoming increasingly more difficult/challenging. The localisation is not finished and translations are sometimes wrong here and there. Grammar is incorrect and needs to be fixed. More enemy variety. Overall better enemy ai. Things to explore on the map to get xp or other rewards. Puzzle sections. Maybe jumping sections. Some kind of parcour abilities. At this point this game is a combination of warframes timegating, Genshin impacts character/weapon unlocks, destiny overworld with MUCH less enemies, or next to none. A stupid battlepass system, that puts you further under pressure to get it done asap. It asks for your credit card in so many instances (colors, skins, upgrade materials, boosters, it's bonkers, and I get it, it's free to play, but we still don't know yet how much of a tedious grind it will become eventually, so it's hard to tell, which items are really worth getting from the shop. Ps: The melee aspect of the game is highly underdeveloped. This game should release in 2026 with everything I mentioned before, or it will get boring really fast.

[@MistaFiOth]

Valid points. I'll give it some time when it launches, and proceed accordingly. Hope to see you in the bday stream tomorrow!

[@YourAlgerianAce]

Maybe when the game launches, dont forget it still a test not a 100% game, quick question u dont get the old beta stuff?

[@MistaFiOth]

If you are talking progression, no. We will get those participation awards when the game launches though.

[@ericmatthews9894]

I'm running a pretty low spec PC, i-4590 and a GTX 1050 and it's running pretty smooth. I crashed a couple of time and a few short moments of lag, but it's been a lot better than the open beta

[@MistaFiOth]

I think they ironed out most of the resource-hogging. Played better than before.

[@robertjohnston6976]

It seems to be pretty cool but I couldn’t even play longer than 10 minutes… It crashed on me 3 times so I deleted it. I know it was the beta, but what’s the point of putting one out if it’s not going to run. I even changed multiple parameters on my Legion Go to try to get it to work and nothing… I’ll just wait for the final release

[@MistaFiOth]

Strange... I've heard reports from people saying they had crashes, but it ran perfectly fine for me. How much RAM do you have?

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

I want to see tons more going on in the open world, like a world boss spawns in and people in the hub get notified of it and come to fight it

[@MistaFiOth]

That's the game's biggest issue atm, the empty overworld. I don't think anything will be changing at launch. Later, perhaps. We'll have to wait and see.

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

@@MistaFiOth It's very frustrating because we can tell the game has SO much more potential, and just doesn't reach it still.. at least what we have seen so far

[@falcon9ner]

game loop is very short maps are smaller but still just a few adds it still feels empty wont last long like this

[@MistaFiOth]

This has me worried as well. Some action has to be present, even when just traversing.

[@trischurch5289]

Thanks for giving me the heads up about the test. I quite enjoyed it for the couple of hours I played it. It’s fun. Feels very arcade type action shooter in a way at that reminded me of Blizzards Overwatch. Free-to-play games shouldn’t be underestimated especially in this day and age where people don’t have much disposable income to gaming. The only concern will be how much it becomes Pay-to-Win. If the whales get too much of an advantage it will become frustrating quickly. If the whales just get things earlier then I have no problems with this model. I’ll say it again, it was fun.

[@MistaFiOth]

Looking forward to playing with you Diesel!

[@Chanharp]

Sadly Nexon didn't bother listening to the players saying that the world is boring and empty. This game is going to die fast.

[@MistaFiOth]

I talk about this in the video... when not in a Mission, there is literally NOTHING happening in the overworld. I don't know what the idea about this was.

[@dubuyajay9964]

​@@MistaFiOth Being cheap?

[@MistaFiOth]

Don't think it's tied to that. I mean, the assets are already there.

[@dubuyajay9964]

@@MistaFiOth Still involves programming and thus paying employees to make assets "do" things.

[@MistaFiOth]

@dubuyajay9964 I think it's mostly a case of failing to marry random encounters with people cheering Missions in the same zones.

[@soulclaw908]

Its sad you cant Equip armor like in destiny 2

[@MistaFiOth]

Indeed... Appearance will be tied to specific skins. Not much room for customisation.

[@falcon9ner]

looking fwd to your content bud

[@MistaFiOth]

I'll keep it coming!

[@Derelict1]

Today was my first day playing! It's running fine Out of Box on Steam Deck. Only issue is random crashes back to title screen.

[@MistaFiOth]

Never had these in this version, but I suppose many factors can be in play. Smooth sailing today though.

[@TheRiz1205]

Played it for 17 hours, the more I play, the more I wish I was playing other games >_>

[@MistaFiOth]

Hehe, not enjoying it?

[@TheRiz1205]

@@MistaFiOth The world feels empty between mission, maybe I'm spoiled by games like Remnant and Monster Hunter.. shooting feels off for some reason, even Outriders feels better, heck even againsy Borderlands is not even a competition, Idk maybe its just a "Me" problem.

[@MistaFiOth]

@@TheRiz1205 let's just wait for the full release. It's not like we need to buy it. 😜

[@TheRiz1205]

@@MistaFiOth Even so, when was the last time we got a good game in this genre ? :/

[@MistaFiOth]

@TheRiz1205 DESTINY 2 was excellent around its two-year mark. D1 was great after TTK. There are good examples. Just not many of them.

[@dantiking9217]

It's free?

[@MistaFiOth]

Will be free, yes.

[@MrGrimsmith]

I have it running smoothly on an RX580. Overall I'm finding it smoother than the first test (thankfully) and just really nice. We'll have to see about the longevity but so far I reckon I'll be dropping a few quid on it.

[@MistaFiOth]

I'll be there to double down with you, brother!
