Incredibly fun, moreso with others. The continued support is just incredible, I can't believe it everytime I come back. One of the few games I ever used the store in, just because I wanted to support the devs and their timeless commitment to this game

Some connection setup issues but if -and I do mean "IF" bcuz its not easy- you can figure it out then its just endless fun with others
You can skip the hassle by either connect to others or steam invite your friends, I do not recommend you set up a server

I went all the way to their forums, made a whole new account just to post in it since they dont look at any of the steam bug reports
Put down so much details, logs, and server code/output to get help why my ping would show as "???" and get auto sorted the bottom (sorted by ping is default and "???" goes below even 999 ping)
Never got a reply in a whole year despite being the only post in bug report section for that whole year
Its been much longer now but I dont expect them to have looked at it despite probably being 1 of 3 post in their whole bug report forums section :/

everyone: wow...posts negative review

Jesus, n here I thought they were looking at high level matches
Can't believe I missed this and gave them credit for even trying when it's clear they did not
=======================================================================
And now they completely butchered the rogue class that they already broke both kneecaps on
Apparently being able to see them while in stealth wasnt enough so now they made them even clearer to see, f**king GENIUS
Longer cooldown for it too, if you play literally any other class you will see how much more they can use their abilities, even the spin to win has a lower cooldown

Starting to see a trend of "devs" nerfing any type of fun in their game because its not "balanced at high level play" we don't all play 24/7 and guess what ITS A F**KING VIDEO GAME!!
Only seen one game do this right because they werent interested in playing god and ruining everything that got too good, instead they just made all other classes/playstyle better

L game and even bigger L "devs"
-I'm glad I held off on giving them any type of monetized support, just more incompetent "devs" no creative thought going into this game just outright stripping the game of all it's potential with every patch for the sake of "balance" over any fun at all
I'm more and more convinced they stole/bought the foundation of this game since they're tearing it apart like they don't care about any of the work and love that went into it at all
============================================================
All new "devs" just hate the Rogue class, only seen it butchered and nerfed to uselessness in every new game I see it come out on
After trying 3 other classes, it is clear they made the Rogue punish you for even choosing it
Every other class has so much more in it's arsenal, meanwhile the "stealth" for Rogue doesnt even work and ppl can still see you by looking in the direction of footsteps
-I will admit, not as bad as DaD's rogue
============================================================
Auction will always sell at above market and always earn more gold
But you can only sell if you P2W

It's also the only way to get gear with stats you want
And since it's bidding, those that P2W will always have an advantage in gold and bid higher than F2P because only P2W can sell in auction, which will always be more than selling in market

It's very affordable but P2W is P2W
Making it affordable makes it acceptable, which solidifies P2W in future games and normalizes it in gaming just like how MTXs did so

It was a very hard vote to make, it's barely a few dollars to P2W and I just absolutely want to support this version of a DaD game, but it's P2W nevertheless and I will NOT support that, doing so will encourage it in the future which I do not want
Amazing game otherwise and so much better than DaD's P2W and overall game itself
But just because it's not as bad doesn't mean it's not doing the same thing, selling the win condition:

P2W>you make more gold than F2P>you will always have better gear/the stats you want than F2P who make less gold -ensuring they always lose bids against P2W for gear with stats- and instead have to get randomized stat gear from market that they only get access to sell in -that will always be less than selling in auction

Every piece of gear sold comes from a successful run, P2W will always sell for more gold per run
Meaning F2P will have to do multiple runs to sell for the same amount of gold of just 1 P2W run
With the minimum being at least 1 more run -in which you can lose ALL of your gear, at an already disadvantaged matchup against any P2W- since auction will always sell for more than the market that F2P can only sell on

I don't see how their reasoning for paywalling it makes any sense "to prevent abuse"?
Ppl bid what they want, the button to bid isn't suddenly going to press itself if were free and accessible to all
And "to prevent trivial listings" as if filters dont exist, would have to be a choice to not include them (even tho they're already in the market) just to make that excuse viable
The fact that it's also priced so low just makes it clear it's there to squeeze out a few more bucks from players who don't want to lose
Again same thing as DaD, you either pay up or are just free kills for those that do

Whoa, I haven't played in ages
So cool to see this game continue to get better

Edit3:
If you don't like P2W downvote and play Dungeonborne instead!!

Should give players at least 3 slots (you only get 1) when there is 9 whole classes
I got leaver penalty 255 seconds.. But the game hadn't even started .-.
Game is supposed to have released but just looks/feels/plays like it just went from alpha to beta
$30 isnt a problem btw, its the fact that it's not worth $30. That's really greedy for a unity dungeon asset pack looking game
$5 game, I'd pay $10 however because I've seen the devs do respond to player feedback (they better for a 600% price up-sell)

Edit:
After a bit more time, game should definitely needs $5, $10, $30 options with anything past what it's worth being there to support the Devs. Instead of crying for advantages for paying money (pay to win much?)
Not like this doesnt already exist tho, unless you fork over $30, you have to start ALL OVER if you want to try a new class, should b 3 slots at least when there is 9 classes
N then there is the market, the name of the game is money (gold), selling to merchants for 5% of an items worth is not the same as someone who paid $30 for an advantage and has full access in trading to sell for 130% an items worth, even selling under 100% is still pay to win

Edit2:
You gotta pay $30 so you dont sell your loot for basically nothing n can actually buy good gear
People in the game use the term "stat check" bcuz its all about the gear ("get stat checked" etc)
But you make way less gold if you dont pay to win, in just 1 sell could b worth 3 full loot extractions -and thats just a low tier sell like green/blue items
You also have to start all over if you want to try another class, further punishing players for not paying up

The "free" model was just to fill lobbies with free kills for their echo chamber players who are too ashamed to admit they got scammed back when it cost $10 per class
There was a way to grind this but even those who paid the $30 are saying it was purposely made to take 200hrs a class to punish you for not just buying them

I hate on this hard bcuz I really wanted to like the game, game of my dreams bro
Such a shame they so scummy w it. Making it so its through their micro so you wave the rights to refund the moment you receive the shards
N can't tell if its genuine deception or genuine delusion from all the ego going to their heads from YT'er playing their game so they just upsell 300%
They put alot of work, time, effort, sacrifices, n then the law suit, and I wont take that away from them n not acknowledge it. But I'm not paying for that, I just want the game. And it's not a $30 game

Jan '25 || Twice the game just shuts down match before time runs out
=======================================================================
Dec '24 || Pending update, came back, few nice updates. Will see how inviting goes, would be nice to see if a friend is in a game already so that invites could be seemless, instead its seems to still be a shot -or shout- in the dark as you have to communicate every step of the invite process up until the point they accept instead of just being able to invite 2 or 3 that are already currently playing the game

Event is out, still using the drip-feed system that's been popularized for farming player stats
Wasnt able to earn the rewards in last event due to the artificial drip-feed roadblock and missed them as I couldnt play when they finally unlocked
Not like I paid for it, completely my fault for not paying even more to unlock a few rewards at a time and then pay again if I want a few more
Smh f this drip feed trend, locking what players pay for so they can farm better concurrently online stats

Nice UI fixes, melee tab, sorting actually seems to sort correctly now

Inviting still annoying as hell. Cant just invite all who are currently playing, no you have to invite one by one and wait til they accept or you cancel to invite the next person
Doesnt say if they're in a game either so how long should you wait n do nothing before you decide to finally play?

And when I finally invite a friend.. Invite failed, have to be same region
Yet when I play with randoms, half the time BOTH are chinese! Their names dont even show because the chinese text isnt supported .-.
What makes this even WORSE? You now have to do this all over again because you cant fill the last slot with a random. So your only options are to go into sweat duo crouch FMJ lobbies or into 3 team lobby as only 2

They moved the more affordable items and tools to much higher levels
The bug bottle costs just 40 but you wont have it until you get to the higher level they moved it to
Decoy fuses don't do any damage but they moved that EVEN FURTHER up the level than bugs that do dmg before you can use them
Meanwhile a 150 spear is unlocked before all these, this is not only annoying to re-level but incredibly beginner unfriendly, locking these items to someone new only gives them the expensive options and no variety for a long time as it was already locked behind levels you need to grind before getting, now it's behind an even further grind. Who let these changes cook under such a cool event where the game is going to get a ton of NEW (and returning) players checking it out??

Had to restart n reconnect, the fact that it was even possible is a surprising feat in itself
However the first attempt had me sit in a camera that was in a random location, couldnt move or communicate with teammates, not even use map to see if they were still even there
Had to close the game n restart it, it finally worked, and much quicker. But the previous attempted took so long to finally show it wasnt going anywhere that by the time I came back all bounties were extracted n my teammates dead

Randomly my Q and E buttons dont work so I cant navigate UI or use them in-game
Apparently a bug from beta
=======================================================================
Aug '24 || I've held off on changing my vote to a thumbs down, but it's clear the new devs that have moved in are more interested in appealing to the new TikTok CoD console generation than the ones who have been supporting them
=======================================================================
Invite system is painful, is it really that hard to have a pop-up say "team is full" or "cannot connect (in-game)"
-Instead we have to painfully invite 1 by 1 and stop everything after each one until it is accepted or declined. Just like the UI update, how did this go through??
Let us just invite with no anchor per invite, so we can just invite 5 friends and have who joins, join
With the way it is now, you cannot do this or they will think the team is full since the invites dont work as they have to be canceled/exited to send to the next friend. And this is even worse if you send a message before you invite, as then you will have to awkwardly tell them the team is full
=======================================================================
•Guns stay switched, tools do not (hold to switch)
•Can't view charms
-Can't even see what charm IS equipped
•Buying a Hunter opens up a loadout screen for a completely different one
-Bonus: Lost guns, frags, ammo and all equipment when using "remove all equipped" button so I can put it on the correct hunter
•Cannot add by player number as it doesnt show it after a game anymore in new UI
•Needs sound queue for when someone ready`s, having to tell someone to ready is just bad all around, you look bad or you feel bad, n the UI is bad xD
•Filters don't work after more than 1 (shotgun ammo with fire filter just show all guns instead of shotguns w fire ammo)
•Noticed that the tooltips are now also garbage
Conversion says slow reload yet its faster than the Nagant
The Nagant used to give more info about that aswell, how it was manufactured to have an
extra bullet in the chamber as the trade off, its all gone along with the pages now
•The part where it shows dots per items threw me off when I got the battlepass and clicked on "continue" and it just closed it. Those dots have always meant a page as in next page of items
•Can't find Hunter info/lore. Owned Hunters do not show up in store as an alternative fix to this
================================================================

UI is so bad and was literally made for console only
Select key is on the other side of the keyboard, I joked to a Hunt friend that the devs must play with arrow keys or something and they dedpan told me that they do

Burn speed was fine the way it was, but then these tiktok devs took over and ruined what was perfectly fine, the choke bombs were the only things dragging a fight out at 3mins each
Should have just lowered it to 60secs for a player to make a move to keep the fight going or take a risk to reprime a choke

There's too many things I could list about the UI, the fact that they called them "growing pains" is utterly insulting to the players. As if it's our fault we don't navigate such garbagly designed UI
It takes so many screens just to load a Hunter
Buying one opens the loudout menu but not for the one you just bought
On the exact same day it became a joke with friends where if anything was wrong at all whether it had to do with the UI or not we would just jokingly say "add that to all the things wrong with the UI update"
=====================================================================
They disabled Nvidia filter like it'll actually stop cheaters from aimbot or wall hacking
Seriously? That's so stupid

The reason I use it is so that I don't change settings for colors across my whole PC and only for a game
All disabling does is make me have to do that, not stop me from doing it

Just got the game n it already has an L. I use f.lux to make screen darker n less blue, I use Nvidia filter to balance that out. So this is just a giant pain and such a idiotic take
Also ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up borderless as this is the only game that flashbangs me by disabling f.lux everytime I tab out, great job so far Crytek

Bunch of out of touch devs are starting to do this like it'll actually stop cheaters. All it does it force players who just want to play to find a way around it and think less of the game bcuz of the pain in the ass it forces

So now I have to go get a program called Reshade to do this so it only affects the game, great move again by idiots who think they're smart for disabling nvidia

Game came out with what it needed to run
Doesn't need next gen specs to play, which makes getting friends to play easy
Really makes you appreciate the QoL features as they add them in

Edit: Wtf happened to this game?!
They just leave as soon as the game starts!

Very fun game
Can't join open squads anymore due to a networking change they made in connecting with others, a few other games started doing this too
It really was fun while it lasted, but its clear they aren't going to fix this by reversing what they did for just a few players
So I'm going to go ahead and reclaim 40GB of my drive back oof

Still can't join open squads since 2023
Loads like it used to for it but then just puts me in a squad on my own
With a squad countdown, slots for other players, vote button n everything

Problem since 2021 apparently, they just rollout the changes in waves so that very little talk about it n it never has a loud enough voice, they've even archived/locked any post on their forums that even talks about this
Actual garbage rat behavior, silencing the players they screw over

There is alot more customization then the last time I played
I would say this is a very good replacement to Runescape
Really good game to chill to, the combat.. Is better than Runescape lol

Many bugs and small things, Even users in the game agree that they add up and become annoying
The first few times are negligible, but then it feels like at every turn you make, you have to start over or change/choose/do something else because something doesnt work the way it should

The community is surprisingly toxic for such a simple game
Every game has that, but for some reason I see it the most in this one
Help chat always has someone who is completely unhelpful and rude, which is a HUGE contrast from Warframe's (another FREE game btw, check it out) help chat, mayb I just got too used to ppl not minding the fact that NEW players don't know everything about the game
Someone was asking what that one tome of knowledge you get from the starter missions does
And the same person who got mad they had to repeat what they said to one of my questions (without making it a whisper despite replying way later, so it just got lost in chat) Said: "it literally tells you what it does".
I was also wondering what it does, it simply wasnt clear and I didnt know what something in the description was referring to.
The "use" button was grayed out so I thought it would tell me what requirements I'm not meeting, but when I clicked on it, it used the book, awarded me something (idk what) and was gone for good.

The weirdest part, is that before that person asked, I didnt ask help chat myself before using the book, just because I didnt want to get a smart @$$ from the community
So in a sense, just wards off players from even asking anything and learning the game
That is what the new player experience is, they simply start insulting if you point out anything wrong with the game, even if it's a fact on how the game currently functions, they treat it like your giving a bad opinion to the game they have to defend due to already investing so much time and money into

I'd recommend this because its free, better than runescape (or at least has more and is less bor- I mean slow) and you can have it in your pocket. So a mobile game, but surprisingly doesnt have mobile gamers in mind and try to get you to spend as much as possible a few dollars at a time
This is a game you play while you wait for New World to go on sale, or because you can't play it where your at or on what you have
The best and probably only good part about this game, is it's accessibility. Very small download, is on mobile, and is free. Which means you can easily invite friends to play

They should get rid of territory standing bonuses
Making the slight mistake of either choosing or clicking the wrong one is a permanent mistake that can only be undone by losing EVERYTHING
Every last item, every single profession leveled, every resourced gathered, every achievement ever earned, every time limited/event variation of all of the above (Thanks Giving Trophy included), GONE. That's the only way to undo just a SINGLE point allotted to the wrong bonus

Just imagine that specific territory is also your home/main territory, where you decided to settle because you like it there, you fish there, you craft there. Every second of every time you do any of this you will always have eating away at the back of your mind that single territory bonus you can't undo.
Worse even is that it doesnt become irrelevant until you've grinded the territory to over level 100 in which by then the bonuses are meager, but until then, at level 17 or so, the bonus that you've lost is substantial and wasted everytime you craft, gather, or sell anything. And the cherry on top is that you still have to level up 7 or 9 more times before you see that same set of bonuses to choose from again

Contact support: "You can't undo/reset territory points/bonuses"
No sh*t Sherlock, why the f*ck else do you think I jumped through your hoops to contact you in the first place??

I don't want to play and constantly be daunted by that single point that I have to grind ages for, not to make up or replace.
But to upgrade the bonus that I DID want so many times that the bonus wasted is made a fraction of what it is, not removed or deleted

I obviously don't want to start over or else I wouldn't b writing this, I've ran around with mining, fishing, and gather gear to change into when I see a node, even crate clothes for that stupid salt droprate
All of that, just gone because of poorly thought out system that likely had no thought put in it to begin with
It needs to b removed and just made a bonus given at certain levels, but no Amazon has to b different and give "choice" just to then later tell you that you don't have any and they wont even try to help you when you contact support, just like their delivery service

And for "Support"to basically not reply to me at all, I even told them that I'd be ok with a full character reset, achievements, skills, levels. just let me keep my items I spent hours and days farming
They didnt even acknowledge that I even typed that, chances are an automated system is what actually replied to me

I really liked this game but god I wish it was anyone other than Amazon Games


WOW, the $30 or no mount update come out
And they have the gull to call it an "expansion"
Doesn't have a new map, doesnt have a new area, doesn't even have a new zone NOPE
It's an EDITED zone. That's right, color swapped, asset switched EDIT

And you can't have mounts unless you pay for it
A quick look at GW2, you get a NEW map, NEW zones, NEW mobs, NEW quests, NEW NPCs
And much more PER EXPANSION. PER, as in EACH ONE
And I got 2 of them for $30

Don't be fooled, the only reason they edited a zone n called it an "expansion"
Is so they could charge you for mounts. They knew ppl have been wanting it
So there's no way they didnt know it could be easily cashed out on, the sorry zone edit excuse of an "expansion" is just a front to charging for mounts

I dont want the edited zone your trying to pass as an expansion. Literally just a zone compared to whole maps/regions in GW2
They just edited an area to call it "hard work" so they can charge for mounts while dumb ppl fall for it n defend it cuz they've been conditioned into paying more for less
Just give us mounts, and keep your asset switched colored swapped zone

$30 isnt the problem, its the fact that it's not worth $30
It's clearly just an excuse to charge for mounts

They made the FOV 70 and called it 90, which is as high as they locked it to
It's completely nauseating, but their response to any support ticket about it is "this game isnt for you then"

They purposely made it incompatible with nvidia overlay because "it can't be implemented on consoles"
-Even tho I can turn up the brightness on my PC anyways, just don't want to do it PC wide .-.

You can't quickly navigate inv menu with WASD, only arrow keys or use your mouse which are both slower and inconvenient when every second counts or your in a hurry
-Yet they have Q and E keybind to let you jump between barrel or player inv but is currently useless since you can jst click on an item on either of them .-.
So unless you're walking up to a barrel, facing it w your mouse, pressing interact button and then releasing your mouse to use arrow keys to navigate the UI and then go back to your mouse when your done.. Nvm, no one is doing that, can't even make an excuse FOR them lol

Pretty sure Rare just wants to make it as much of a pain in the ass as possible for anyone on PC
Jst another console player mad that auto-aim got exposed ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also got this watery text pop-ups that stop me from doing any other action (a world event I think) twice
But it always disappears before the last few lines are readable, then I get a pop-up saying "quest received"
Yet when I open quest radial, there's nothing there. So it's just an unskipable cutscene that you have to wait til its over

Just alot of small inconveniences that add up really
Like how some inv UIs don't close with X or Tab and you have to go all the way to ESC button on keyboard
Notably the change weapon UI, another that would b much better if you could use WASD to select the new gun you wish to equip, also would b great if you could press 1 or 2 to choose which one to switch it with


Can't really bring any of this up since the only place they'll see it is on their own site
Which is just homefield advantage to their fans who'll just say to get used to it or "git gud"


It's a beautifully relaxing game I think anyone who's watched Pirates of the Caribbean should play
Absolutely gorgeous, and the action is thrilling. It really does give the feeling of sailing the seas
The quests are fun and more than just a simple "go here do this"
PoIs are well made and had work actually put into them
Just recently explored a shrine, and reminded me that pirating for treasure is also like treasure hunting as indiana Jones (puzzles, there were puzzles lol)

Just wish the devs werent toxic console fans, I couldn't care less what platform someone else plays on bro
