then the fog suddenly shot back and revealed a big world.
If you let it load for a bit the draw distance in the game is actually 3-4 times further than in the tech demo. You have not seen anything yet. The world is indescribably enormous. Just a single "land"/country is huge. It would be more than enough for the entire game but no. There are several lands. I crossed half a land and it took me around an hour or two of walking going to the closest edge. With a hand glider and +100 hand glider skill (400% speed) it takes me 30-60 minutes to cross one land in full. Let me repeat. There are several lands and each land has a different terrain and city style. Boat is the fastest method of transportation since ocean is even so you have a constant speed. It only took me maybe 10 minutes (300% speed) to cross one land.
I'm not going to buy the game any time soon if at all. It is insanely grindy and horribly balanced. Either that or the developer
really wanted to make a MMORPG but lacks the resources to host the servers. Because this game is a single player MMORPG. Enormous world, large mission areas with dozens of enemies practically impossible to take on alone, the bosses are very difficult, and you can't really modify the ground/the world is mostly static.
I cheated myself to level 1995 by adding two million exp and then I upgraded all my skills so the cooldowns were around 7 seconds each. I also game myself 10k gold and bought the best items I could find. The bosses/enemies probably level with you as I still had a tough time with the bosses even at ~3k health and doing ~500 damage per second. I tried this with a rogue and a warrior.
Oh and what the hell? I did one of those missions where you need to kill a leader. There were ~30-40 dudes in a valley and a leader. It took me ~10 minutes to kill the leader (skipped almost all the dudes because of my awesome glider skills) and she dropped a +1 power spirit cube. I found a random city ruin and a zombie leader. Took me about 2 minutes to take it a down and the leader dropped a +36 power spirit cube. It's bullstuff that the legit missions are hard as balls and reward is utterly worthless compared to a random leader wandering in the wilds that is easy to kill.
The game has fantastic mechanics and super pretty visuals but I simply cannot play it without cheating due to the grind and lack of other players. Great game but lacks balancing.
