It's hard to see a reason to reccomend this game at the moment. I've played a lot of games that have had things that annoy me, but this is the first time i have ever gone out of my way to address them past a simple set of sentences... Mainly because those games were made by people not backed by a AAA budget, or because those games didn't cost me over £60.

-Peer to Peer connection in a fighting game which means that hosting = a far better match performance, and that connection drops frequently.

-Matchmaking so unbalanced and shallow that a £5 Indie game would be ashamed to have it, with the game being completely unable to match any of the criteria it is supposedly finding, and then completely unable to find new players if someone leaves between rounds.

-The fact that the developers seem to want to add more features before addressing any balance or gameplay concerns raised by the community that play their game. A mentality of "We'll sort it out soon" may well be fine for a single person development, but not a game with a large team working on it constantly.

-A lack of balanced game modes with only 2 (4 if you count PvE) that don't reward the players with the best gear. This means that new players are at a significant disadvantage when playing 4v4 game modes currently, putting people such as myself in the situation of: do i play with my friends, or actually enjoy the game. Coupled to the awful matchmaking it is not uncommon (i can provide about as many instances as you need) to see teams of high prestige characters with level 100+ gear fighting people who have little if any.

This is why i'd not reccomend this game as of present. Because at present this game has all the telltale signs of a game that will die out very soon if nothing is done except try and get more money from its players.

I want this game to be good, it brings a lot of good ideas out and clearly has a lot of people working on it who care about what they are making, but their efforts are really in vain so long as the people calling the shots are doing their absolute best to ignore the playerbase and get as much money as they can from the game rather than make it an enjoyable experience.
