A pretty solid foundation. This is basically a successor to navyfield as far as the game play goes. The ship customization isn't as deep but after playing for 5 hours I am not sure if I even miss it. Very addicting and very fun. Way more entertaining than world of boreships as you don't spend nearly as much time doing nothing/waiting for the fight to start. So far it doesn't feel pay to win much at all either, granted I am sure I will notice it more as I dig in deeper.

Game has an extremely heavy Russian Bias at many points. For example T2 German in RB mode ground forces is virtually impossible to win due to the spamming of extremely overpowered for their tier T34s. Out of 50 games, you will be lucky if more than 3 aren't complete blow outs and if you win ANY at all go buy a lottery tickey. Rather than actually address the problems, Gayjin instead heavily censors the forums. Such a shame as the aircraft part of the game is pretty decent and the very early tank combat is failry well balanced. I guess that is just to sucker you into spending money before you hit the T34 wall.

Incompetent developers that are:
1. Incapable of making a vehicle/infantry relationship that doesn't involve one cheesing the other.
2. Incapable of creating new meaningful content to add any meaning or meta to the game.
3. Creates an anti cheat that automatically kicks and in some cases bans most high end players for legit play on new chars.
4. Refuses to unban said high end players even when they streamed or recorded entire play session until community uproar reaches critical mass and even then said devs makes sure to have plenty of insulting remarks in reddit/forum replies.
5. Extremely arrogant.
6. Incapable of optimizing the game.
7. Incapable of releasing a patch that doesn't create more bugs than it fixes.
8. Despises its own competitive community/fanbase.
9. When given the choice of dumbing the game down or adding more skill based mechanics, always dumbs it down.
10. Completely fails to police game. Flying sunders vaporizing hundreds of players in minutes. No ban. Tanks flying across the map, no ban. Not a single live GM at any hours. Obvious out to ruin the game cheaters get to run wild sometimes for hours.


I could go on. Its sad really. It happens to so many games these days. A great idea and a mechanically decent engine able to put so many people together. Unfortunetly SOE/DBG turned into what amounted to cavemen trying to run a nuclear reactor. Every time they try to fix or add anything they are just flailing around with their beating sticks hitting the reactor creating meltdown after meltdown. Combined with the extremely poor leadership of Smedley and some very poor choices from Higby (maxes are almost fine lol) until very reciently the game was simply doomed to ever be anything but a decent shooter turned mediocre by terrible vehicle/infantry relationships and a complete lack of using the larger scale of the game in a positive manner. Hopefully it recovers from their taint now that they are both gone, but I doubt it. DBG seems to be in its death throws.

It starts out good. But then after your 5th level 20 you realize that its just another shallow game that substitutes content for grind. Developers are largely incompetent at fleshing out systems and keeping the server up. Most of the things that should be fleshing the game out such as the professions and fishing are nothing more than ill thought out, shallow grind fest that add nothing positive to the game. Fishing for example is stare at the screen, press f, repeat. But you must do it thousands of times to collect resources and mastery levels. Gardening isn't that much different. Its not self sustaining and you must spend hours grinding the resources to plant. Ring crafting is equally boring, the same mat grind as gardening but you have no control over what quality you make beyond the character exp level. The result is in order to get a decent ring for your maxed out char, you need to.... YOU GUESSED IT GRIND!! You end up making 50 or more rings since the actual roll of the rings stat quality is entirely RNG based.

I understand there has to be some grind in a game. What pisses me off is the never ending trend of game developers to take massive short cuts on content and mechanics in favor of simple mindless grinding. What happened to actual content? What happened to making games like Ultima Online? Games that had ACTUAL CONTENT that wasn't grinding but kept you entertained for YEARS. They don't make games to last anymore, its all about the quick cash grab and sadly even Trove in its current state fits this theme. It could be saved with some pretty significant overhauls and I would change my rating then, but I do not have high hopes. It is Trion after all.

The game is a very cool idea, just very poorly done. Combat feels really bad. AI is extremely stupid. Vehicle combat is so bad. It feels very janky and not exciting at all. All too often you get instantly killed or instantly disabled in your vehicles. The AI has near 100% accuracy all the time and just tunnels to critical blocks and insta disables your vehicles. Its super boring. The vehicle and base building itself is okish, but again the extremely terrible combat kind of makes it pointless and dull. The building could be so much better with a sort of in game editor instead of always having to just go to a new creative world to build anything to save then come back to your survival world to build it.

All vehicles handle rather poorly. Especially hover vehicles. Its very boring you cant build wheeled vehicles and instead must make lame hover vehicles. The base game story is rather dull and even the modded version while a ton better, are also still limited by the many downfalls of the base game. The graphics are ok and performance is good. Its really just the gameplay, combat and ai are so bad it makes the game not all that fun. Another point, the infantry/foot combat is really bad as well mostly due to the really bad ai. They just mill around aimlessly making alien noises as you kill them one by one until you run into line of sight of a turret that instantly kills you, lol.

No anti cheat and poor support for what is otherwise a decent game. Dev team seems rather incompetent.
