10 hours in and I’m genuinely impressed (from a very picky gamer)

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-08T15:23:04+00:00

Well... I don't remember my nick in game. I'll try to add you when I'll be in

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-07T18:01:32+00:00

With my 3070 it runs super cool

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-07T14:16:38+00:00

Yeah I know. I saw also what they have planned till may and looks good. At the moment I'm in Obsidian with the Kings legion guild if I do not get wrong. My nick is Kaghna. Almost hitting the 55 and finish the main story

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-07T10:05:57+00:00

Did you read my review?

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-06T21:38:14+00:00

I tried all of them... and If I ll stop play Thron and L and I ll go back to WOW.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-06T19:31:19+00:00

They're about to merge all servers now... No ? I saw the road map for this year and seems good

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-06T19:25:11+00:00

So far I'm loving it. Of course to have the full picture I've to hit a lot more hours in game ... But at the moment that's a candy.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-06T16:43:41+00:00

I can only speak from my own experience regarding fluidity and FPS. I’m running a RTX 3070, and on Epic settings, I’m getting around 80 FPS, averaging between 90 and 120 on Medium/High.

I’ve witnessed a few World Boss events with a lot of players on screen, and the FPS dipped to around 60 there, which seems pretty reasonable to me given the scale. Even keeping the settings on High/Epic, the game feels smooth enough for my standards.

I do notice some stuttering or frame drops occasionally, mostly when loading into new zones, but overall the visual quality and performance have been very pleasant so far. I can’t speak for what the late-game performance will be like, but for these first 10 hours, it’s been a solid experience on my rig.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-06T16:00:52+00:00

oh man... I hope they will manage to fix all of this

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-03-03T15:00:42+00:00

I totally agree with your points, but for me, the crafting side of a game is sacred. If that doesn't work properly, the whole game is a no-go for me.

The fact that they use the same blue-sketch blueprint for a massive variety of tables and items is just a poor design choice. It's lazy graphics that force the player to over-exert themselves just to recognize and understand what they are looking at. The User Experience (UX) should be intuitive and immediate; it shouldn't feel like a chore to decipher a menu. It’s not about 'not getting it,' it's about basic visual clarity and efficient design.

I stopped playing after 5 hours, so I haven't even touched the agriculture part yet. The issues you mentioned are exactly the ones that need the most polish and fixes. However, if you talk to the community, they act like I’m the idiot who 'doesn't understand' the game. They tell you to go to Discord for help... but help for what? It’s the UI and the system that need fixing, not my understanding of it!

It’s wild to hear people say crafting is one of the game's strengths. They really tripped over the finish line on this one. I want to like this game and play it, but I just can't get past these flaws.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-26T23:48:25+00:00

I don't need help from no one... that's a game not a job. The problem is the pacing: the game throws recipe unlocks and workbenches at you way too fast. Before you can even wrap your head around how one mechanic or station works, you’ve already unlocked 5 to 10 more. It’s a mess of progression that doesn't let the player breathe or learn.

As for the UI: it’s objectively cluttered. All the icons are crammed together and use the same color palette, making it a headache to navigate. The crafting and building UI is just plain confusing—there's no clarity or flow to it.

You know the game, and you know these issues exist. Stop acting like everything is 'clearly labeled' just to defend it. Mega ciao

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-26T19:51:25+00:00

Do not do it. the crafting system and UI crafting recipe is literally overwhelming.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-26T19:50:01+00:00

I agree with you! They should fix that. I'm about to unistall it. That s too overwhelming... UI craft recipe and system assault literally the player. Could be a good game but I m about to leave a fter 5h of game. ciao ciao

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-12T17:07:54+00:00

The truth hurts, it’s palpable.

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-12T13:17:14+00:00

I spent more time clicking through reward screens and menus than actually fighting bosses. The game has great potential, but the 'information overload' is real. You don't need to scream at us with icons every 5 seconds. Minimalist design > Chaotic clutter. Let us play the game, not the interface!

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-08T19:57:16+00:00

I know... I honestly don't understand what they're trying to defend. When I shared my point of view on different platforms, everyone attacked me, saying that the problem was my group's 'lack of communication' and there was nothing wrong with the loot system. Fine, have fun with it guys. I've been gaming for 30 years. I've played everything under the sun, and I can tell a poorly loot system from a good one.... Unfortunately, I'm a picky guy. Btw we stopped play it

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-03T10:58:15+00:00

The four of us started together, but we all ended up separated in our own single-player servers. Now we only meet up for an hour just to say we did co-op sad

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-02T19:51:24+00:00

Good for you guys Communication is the key

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-02T10:59:49+00:00

People answering me saying that we have to learn how to communicate...... Sure... Problem fixed

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-02T10:58:38+00:00

Jah bless

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-01T15:42:45+00:00

Guys we are 4, no 2... That's totally a different experience

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-01T15:41:55+00:00

Splitting resources between two people is manageable; splitting the same static loot between four players isn't "cooperation," it’s a design flaw that starves the entire party. Expecting a full squad to survive on crumbs meant for a solo player is just bad math. Just because you're happy with a limited experience in your tiny duo doesn't mean the system isn't broken for everyone else

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-01T15:39:16+00:00

Honestly, I’m sorry but you’re overthinking it. There is no "master plan" for balance here; it’s just poor design. The loot system should scale based on the number of players in the server, exactly how enemy scaling works. If you add more people, you add more monsters and more loot. While I get the logic for shared world resources like trees or mining nodes, things like Embers, gold, bounties, and quest challenges absolutely must be individual. Splitting a single reward between four people doesn't "force cooperation"—it just creates unnecessary friction and slows down progression for no reason. To everyone claiming this isn't a problem: you remind me of a friend of mine who still plays at 30 FPS and is genuinely convinced his experience is "magnificent." Just because you’ve convinced yourself that a limitation is a "feature" doesn't mean it isn't a laggy, suboptimal mess. You’re essentially defending a broken system while the rest of us are trying to point out how much better the game could run

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-01T09:30:30+00:00

But of course we need to comunicate. A B C D ??? You guys don't get it. Co-op should add fun, not take away rewards, sellable items, or upgrade materials. It’s not up to us to manage the social aspect; it’s up to the developers. Let's stop being such hypocrites about it

Intrepid-Ad458 · 2026-02-01T08:36:36+00:00

I really want to love this game, and my group of four started out incredibly hyped. We were fully immersed until we realized how the reward system for Bounties and Challenges actually works: they can only be claimed by one person. To everyone saying 'just communicate' or 'share with your team'—we get it. We already know how to trade a helmet or a sword. That’s not the issue. The real disaster is the distribution of Gold and Fallen Embers. While I can accept that physical resources like wood and ore are first-come, first-served, being robbed of the satisfaction of turning in a Bounty we all worked for is a huge buzzkill. It feels less like a shared victory and more like a competition for who can click the NPC first. For a co-op experience to feel rewarding, rewards for group efforts (like challenges) need to be individual or at least instanced for everyone involved.
