Probably the best MMO I've ever played, besides the broken English.

Abandon Pokemon. Embrace Pals.

This is democracy manifest!

10/10 ignore the reviews.

Buggy mess full of spinning rock drakes.

Local co-op is for controllers only, why don't you stop being lazy and add key binds for your original port, the computer.

It's unfair, and very good.

10/10

First off I want to say I'm giving this game a negative review due to the lack of development over the past 6 months the devs made a game with tons of great content in the 3 years leading up to the EA release. But now they have millions of dollars and development has slowed to a crawl. I don't understand why they didn't hire more than 3 people during the last update with their newfound wealth if they were serious about speeding up development. I understand that it is an EA title and when the game changes for the better I will revise my review.

Postitives:
- Combat is fun
- Building is fun
- Discovering new recipes is pretty fun
- Pretty
- The leveling (this is a positive for now but I want more things to level if this doesn't change will move to negative)

Neutral:
- Levels are somewhat arbitrary besides some small bonuses. It could really use a perk/ skill tree system with possible level synergy. Say around every 10 levels you would get a new perk that would be way more exciting then the flat increase you get when leveling skills. For example even running you could get a stamina use reduction bonus, you could roll farther maybe with like a level 10 jump prerequisite, or you could put all your points into running faster in battle. But I'm not ungrateful for the level system in this game. I appreciate a level system even if it is lame.

Negatives:
- Sea travel is super tedious and boring
- The players are forced to use sea travel to haul their metal back to their base when there is a much easier way it could be taken back to your base. As metal is used for pretty much every late game item so you have to do this to progress. This is obviously a way to slow down player progress as they would burn through the content too quickly. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this if there was a means to get your metal back to your base besides the super boring sea travel.
- Updates aren't even remotely satisfying maybe for a released version of the game but not EA.
- Not enough variety after each boss kill. After killing each boss it essentially unlocks a new metal for you and typically one or two new armor sets and weapon sets. I'd like to see this sitting more at like three or four new sets to allow you to flush out your character to be like a ranger or a thief.

MURDER!
