Honestly some monetization is fine. The problem comes when the game expects you to dump hundreds or even thousands of $ into it. Im old I remember my MMOs requiring a subscription. If the game is designed such that 10-15$ a month will keep you at top end gear, or you can no-life it, this is fine. its really no different than playing a subbed game but with a free option. I dont want to see diablo immortal or even Blade and soul styles of monetization where you can spend 1000$ and still have a massive power gap. That being said really my favorite way to monetize is the POE approach. Maybe small permanent convenience upgrades along with a whole hord of cosmetic options. This game has plenty of room for cosmetics, Weapon and armor skins, morphs, amorti and more. Cosmetic items do not break the power balance of the game.

@sportschool35373 ай бұрын
@@the_val_s Ok, because none of you have actually taken the time to PLAY THE DAMN GAME... 1. Maxing your gear takes a while but it's completely doable as a F2P player, plus the P2W player still needs to get the Epics he wants to drop with the correct trait and only can purchase the extra traits cause great drops from Dungeons are not sellable on the market, only the traits... to sell a piece of gear you need to have crafted it and also have gotten a 10% critical success on it... otherwise it's a no-go 2. The gearing up process is extremely fun cause it's done by running events, world bosses, dungeons, open world dungeons with your guild mates so, find a nice guild and enjoy the game while having a good laugh on discord... this is not WoW or FFXIV where you literally never talk to a single fucking soul for dozens of hours and only play with others 10% of the time at best... here you have fun WITH OTHERS 3. The game has time-gating on Dungeons, contracts etc cause it prevents no-lifers from taking over the server and ruining the game for normal human beings like me that have a life and are not pathetic like them... 4. When you PvP you will realize that even if you're not super geared up you're very very useful if you know how to play your class cause someone with maxed blue gear can easily compete and even beat someone with semi-progressed Epic gear... so unless you can max out your Epic gear (which even with P2W it will take a while cause you need the gear to drop for you) you won't ever feel massively stronger than the players around you and if you don't know how to play your class well you will get shit on HARD by people with lower gear scores. So, yeah, I've played warframe and this game feels exactly like that... I have the patience to farm the lucent and buy everything I need without spending a dime... my account has around 2k plat lying around in warframe while I've bought everything I ever needed for free there too... I think people that say it's a "toxic" system are just whiners... the game rewards you for PLAYING the game waaaaay more than for paying... if anything whales are actually being dumb victims cause not only are they not getting huge advantages but they're also funding the active F2P players to keep up with them for free... There, now your excuses are officially bullshit... good day...

Great review! Personal thoughts are: "This game is destined to fail" I think the game is great, and could be great don't get me wrong. From the dungeons, to combat, to questing and the grind its got the elements of what a great mmo could be. I think where the crux here is that if you want to do anything endgame you need a guild. At its core, this is a PVP mmo. If you want to reap the full rewards of the game, you need a guild. A good guild. A guild with lots of members. What will eventually end up happening long term (And is already happening on Percy server, the one im on) is that a giga guild will form, who have allianced with another giga guild. On top of the time gating of just dungeon running, you're already pushing the casual-midcore audience away, and in a fish eat fish game, being the bigger fish is the better pay off. The problem is now that there are too many big fish, and not any medium or little fish. I don't see a lower-middle echelon of the player food chain sticking around long term because of these mega guilds/mega alliances forming which will suck away resources from smaller guilds, which will lead to just everyone being in the same guild/same mega alliance. There is no player ecosystem outside of being the big fish. It does not reward you for being the small-medium fry, nor offer any chance to make any sort of contribution or stand. Players will come to play the game, hit level cap, and see they stand 0 chance. They will walk away.

There is more to it in gearing, it's not just getting your purples from dungeons and that's it. I still don't understand it yet but people say it's better to get all green set to +6 and then getting your blue gear and feeding your green one into it, same with purple gear, meaning getting first your blue gear to max (which will take a lot of time) before actually using your purple gear. It seems like what you did is unoptimal. Also there are other options for gearing which I don't understand like litography system and such. There are really good systems and graphics are great, but MOVEMENT is trash, very janky with errors and bugs. PS: I love the longer format video because I can listen to it while I'm playing something :) very nice. I hope your videos get popular because it really encapsulates the experience of a real player really well.

It might not be a popular opinion but the biggest problem for me was the control... moving with keyboard asdw then clicking twelve skills from 1 to = was impossible to enjoy the gameplay. Even after remapping the shortcuts completely, it still didn't feel right.. In my experience with other games it was always not an issue since you move with mouse. I found an option to do this but it constantly moved the screen view at the same time. Another thing other than this was how the skills felt stationary and rigid since the game was designed to be auto fight initially. Although they changed and improved this, to me it still felt not entertaining enough. I had to quit for these reasons but if I was okay with these, I think I would have played without any problem. I play only PVE and like slow paced so I wouldn't care pay to win aspect much. The graphics were amazing and I liked that it provided a true sense of open world. Skills were not unique and not satisfying at all like Lost Ark but the MMO structure or progression style seemed a lot better than Lost Ark, just more like a real MMO.

I am loving this game. The betas/alphas were nothing like how it released, and the combat feels great. My personal grievances: - The skill ceiling is low. Meaning positioning/timing are more important than skill-expression and hitting your combos correctly. - Specializations and traits included, at the top level, there are actually very few skill changes that you'll be able to make in order to express yourself. So, again, it's a game not about the skills or your skill as a player, but about recognizing timing and positioning. - Gear is going to be ultra-P2W until a few weeks later, when the market prices go down. This means you should NOT do any ranked PvP until you're 2700+. I just hit 2700 and I play for 14h/d (making most of my money off selling red stones from abyss grinding to whales, earlier on). Even then, I STILL can't compete well. Get your gear, join a guild, and grind it out. Ignore ranked PvP. - That said, guilds are absolutely required. - The dungeons are "average" at best and janky low-effort garbage at worst (Rex flight mechanics are completely jank). So, you should really find most of your fun grinding/PvPing with friends and your guild. For me, that's perfect, for others... You might hate it. - For a game based on group PvP, there is still no guild alliance chat OR the ability to create alliances/leagues (multiple groups paired together, then multiples of that paired together). Aion had this and was very fleshed-out when it came to large-scale PvP. My only idea as to why they don't is because of little investment they made for this game to go PC, at first. - If you mess up your gear upgrade path, you'll really regret it. Watch a video. Other than that, it's a great MMO and I'm glad to see a PvP-focused game with large player numbers. Looking forward to seeing how it is after a month or two. I'll be around and I hope more people get into it.

Really good summary here I agree with most of your grievances, will be interesting to see what stays / changes in the coming months.

Idk what you're talking about tbh, Arena's can be fine if you're traited out properly a full leveled blue set is stronger than a full 9 purple with shit traits. Understanding traits is more important than grinding gear score. You can have 2700 combat power and still do shit against ex me with 2400 with traits set up. My friend already got in top 15 NA EAST with only spending money on the pre order early access. (2300 combat power)

I’m late to the party but I’ll be trying this. There seems to be about 20% too many children for me but the little cutie-pie hovering doll with the high voice will probably be what stops me. But the whale looks totally fantastic. Can anyone tell me if the toy’s voice changes when you get new toys?🤞

I tired playing it. Ugh, the UI is SO confusing, with way too many systems. Why do eastern MMOs do this? It's all just busy work. I got stuck on a quest that does not update. logged out.

I genuinely think UE4, I think?, carried so hard in terms of performance and quality gameplay excluding the iffy combat. They had some server issues but no queues and some regions were screwed by their host servers. But overall, playing the actual game was smooth and especially not seeing a single loading screen on an SSD was amazing.

Sorry because I'm speaking of a game different than the video but , I've been wanting to get into ESO , should i buy it? Is it worth it?

Do you like story? It's sort of like swtor, where story is the best thing about it. The combat is ok, classes are interesting, but I'm not sure how many players are still playing. If you prefer skipping story or quest logs, might as well skip the game, not worth playing otherwise.

Players have already reached true bottlenecks when it became clear how the monetization is clearly pay to progress. You can at level 50 buy full epic from the cash shop, uprade your gear to max trait with one swipe. Basically invest 400-600 bucks and you won, no f2p player will be able to catch up to you, even in two months from now it will just be a short period where gear is a bit more balanced which will immediately change when new content comes up.

You’ll be about level 5 mastery on weapons at level 50 . There are things in the game in the free side of the battle pass you can buy and use if you want to make a drastic turn but remember you can go right back it’s nice to keep people wondering in pvp battles 😂

Only because it's new...obviously everyone else will say the same thing, people are running around now, but what about in 2 months? Why invest in a game everyone knows is p2w and will be an empty shell for pvp try hards in a few months? It's alive because the casuals have just started playing.

@Waydot How do you feel about this game now. I feel like it's a never ending battle, I feel I've been through 1 dungeon 70 times and yet to get anything I need {always the same blue garbage} or some purple ring that does me no good over and over and over again with I mind you limited dungeons runs in a day. That right there is why I stopped playing, don't tell me I can run a dungeons 3 times a day and i'm forced to do open world content the rest of the day zz factor there. Also, seeing everyone running around in this game has already spend 1000's on this game just like NC soft loves for you to spend that money in their shop. Blade and soul once they started this same monetization is when I quit them, they used to not be that bad, then you got to where your mats would fail and those mats I mind you were hard dungeons grinds that everyone had to do everything right to even complete was made where you could take that credit card and swipe those failed mats all over again zz. You never knew who were grinders or who just paid to be nerdage. This game gets old because if you aren't having good RNG and you are stuck with green/blue shit while at level 50 dungeons something is not right, it's like you work so hard just to get one token or one book for quest, co-op open worlds if your party sucks say good bye to anything worth a crap say hello to all powders. This game is not good in the state it's in, but I don't have to tell you look at the statistics lol. Anyways after my rant your thoughts now on this game?
