>Disliking a game due to bugginess
>Early access
Early access is intended so that developers can get feedback for a game they are developing. It is not a catch-all shield for criticism because "it- it's in early acess!!". People complaining about bugs is completely valid, especially when the devs keep spending manhours on superfluous crap like llama suits and "novelty bananas" instead of actually fixing issues with the game.

Also what were they thinking with the "Separator Manipulator and Accelerator" names? Those are quite possibly the most non-indicative names for equipment themes ever. Without looking at a wiki, nobody playing through this the first time is going to see those and think "oh yeah, that's totally tank/mage/ranger".

it sorta makes sense when you think about it

separator separates limbs with melee
manipulator manipulates spacetime into death
accelerator accelerates dakka into body

Didn't make that connection at all when making the manipulator set.
Thought it was a tank-type class by the description.

You end up making all of the sets anyways so whatever.

No, they don't make sense, that's just you rationalizing some crap they spewed out to sound "unique" and "different" despite literally just being cookie cutter warrior/ranger/mage archetypes.

Here, I know, we'll call them the Explorer, Lantern, and Pillbox sets.
The Explorer is the rubium/cerulium sets, because you're exploring whole new ways to kill things.
The Lantern is the aegisalt/ferozium set because guns make light when they shoot, like a lantern.
And the Pillbox is the violium/impervium set because these naming conventions are so terrible i think i'm going to take a whole box of pills and loving end myself.

Sarcasm aside they're still terrible because each name could apply to the other sets without having to stretch much farther than you did. Manipulator could be goddamn anything because "manipulate" simply means to control something skillfully, be it minds, swords, guns, or magic. Accelerator could be the mage set because with that huge energy pool you can go super fast with the techs provided. Separator could be ranged because you are separating your damaging projectile from you and striking from afar instead of hitting them as one, or separating heads from bodies because you shot them in the face. Anything is possible when you overbrown townyze the stuff out of nonspecific words.



grappling hooks are fun

look at how pretty my giant green head is

Separator separates people's limbs using razor-sharp leaf staves and nuclear fusion summons.
Manipulator manipulates their guns to blow kneecaps out and heads off.
Accelerator accelerates large barbaric pointy stick into face.
They aren't exactly clear-cut names and something like "Rook", "Knight", and "Bishop" would've been fine for the tank, shoots, and deeps would've been fine. Or hell, just "Tank", "Ranger", and "Not-a-magician it uses scientific-space-wands-of-technology" would've been absolutely fine.

look at how pretty my ship is

what a perfectly generic head you've got there
a little too perfect
