It's masterworks all, you can't go wrong

great graphics great grameplay

In my playtime, the only experience I had with my friends was being in the same voice call and party while grinding. The gameplay itself is a solo grindfest with group content existing only as an after thought. The user experience is awful with the game throwing anything the devs can think of at you in order to keep you engaged. If you are easily overwhelmed you will need to disable most of the UI because it will keep screaming at you to click flashing buttons.

The combat actually feels good to play, and the class variety is very diverse. Unfortunately most classes are gender locked with the majority of them being female, because of course. Even the newest class, Scholar, is another girl, this time with hammers. Lots of wasted potential, but I guess most people dont want to play dress up with a dwarf.

For most of my time playing I was one-shotting mobs because of the seasonal bonuses that trivialize early game. You will out level the main quests very quickly, and they are quite a slog of talking to NPCs and killing mobs to get through. The few times the quests gave me bosses to kill I did have fun with the fights, but they are too few are far between. There are daily personal bosses and big world bosses that seem interesting, but those came into play too late to hold my attention.

Usually when I play MMOs, I tend to focus on PvE content, and not so much the crafting/gathering or other busy work that these games like to think are fun. But when I play this, it just feels like its building me up to unlock more efficient zones to do these activities in rather than letting me get stronger to fight better.

Overall I feel like this game suffers by having what I consider to be the core MMO gameplay loop of questing, dungeons, raiding, etc. exist only in service to the surrounding systems, instead of vice versa. I gave it plenty of chances, but in the end I felt like I was actively fighting the game to let me enjoy it.
