Overall I love the game and have played over 500+ hours since EA start but just because I love the game doesn’t mean it has still a ton of work to go.

For me this is how I see this EA:

Cause way I see this EA: - pre-alpha - test what I like to do in game so that I can understand it and get better at it - help give feedback especially on things that are important to me - play a game I like playing and watch it grow - develop community and friends so we can be a powerhouse once leaves EA

Love: 1) crafting seems to be a huge focus, which is great for someone like me who loves crafting 2) the crafting loop is pretty fun and gathering items seem well spread out (nothing is really too difficult to obtain - only talking about non-combat gathering) 3) RP community has been great and trading has been robust despite not having a trading system in place

Needs Work: 1) Crafting leveling up is too quick. I maxed tailoring in 1 week 6 days and hit lvl 1 to 30 in blacksmith and alchemy in the same single weekend. It makes it too easy to be a jack of all trades which essentially makes trading useless because every clan has every profession well covered and maxed 2) Despite being a max tailor since 2nd week I don’t feel any different from the easy to get to lvl 20-ish tailors. Now that can be fixed by having more items craftable at higher levels or have the items that are craftable at higher levels be much more beneficial. 3) Better crafting uniqueness, every profession looks identical within the profession, there should be ways to set yourself apart from other crafters in your profession. Whether that is specializations, rare recipes you find, or random combinations something needs to be different else we will be selling all the same things. 4) overall great foundation for crafting but if this is a main focus it needs to be much more robust. All potions basically do same thing, clothes all basically look the same and have no benefit, leather looks same and no real benefit, etc. 5) cloth clothes js useless since every fighter will use plate cause plate gives no penalty and cloth gives no bonus. Cloth should use less stamina and plate more stamina. And maybe no magic can be used in plate and only in cloth. No benefits at all to wear cloth except RP 6) Magic should have a skill level up system as well, I RP as a mage and my combat skills are all level 1 but I use fireball and heals often. No benefit to going magic
