Amazing open world rpg, lots of quests, bosses, elite, rare spawns.

Can't wait to see where this goes content wise.

Pros
---
-Game is like an "in-house" MMO if i had to give it a specific name or genre
-Devs are very responsive to concurrent issues and patches come out daily for the game
-General gameplay is fun and progression feels (mostly) good
-Each classes gameplay is straightforward to it's standard RPG fantasy
-Fair amount of content and gear to work toward (this will be expanded on the devs have stated)
-Mounts, housing, questing, gear and loot upgrades, skill tree, world bosses, dungeons and can play with 3 other friends

Cons

-The biggest thing is that the game is still in development and needs additions and improvements here and there that you will notice at the time of this review. With that being said, the development team puts out updates so this is something that will require patience from the purchaser. I'm sure the completed product will be in a more refined state across class balance, itemization, solo/party balance, etc.

I enjoy the game, but agree with others that have posted a negative review as well. It's not a solo game. That being said, I've played a lot of it and think I can provide some decent input here.

-Requests to make the game more fun for solo players were met with even more ramping up difficulty in an effort to stem people leveling quickly by increasing damage and health of difficult enemies.
-Everyone used to be able to have a mercenary in a four player game until that was scrapped and as of now, only the host can have a mercenary. It sounds like the developers are offering an olive branch and allowing for two mercenaries in a two player game.. but won't go back to the way it was before.
-Still a lot of broken mechanics, and when pointed out that things weren't working, I was met with "well this is how it should be and it should be working", rather than accepting that there may be something still broken.
-Rare and boss enemies are on a timer that only moves how long someone is actively in game, which means if a world boss respawns every 12 hours real time, I'd have to spend 12 hours (in my world) straight..either on my main character or my alt characters. This combined with poor drop rates is just a means to justify someone playing their game for as long as possible.
-The only way to report bugs is by joining their discord.
-The game STILL doesn't have a way to exit to character select. That was a request even before the game was released in early access, but the sole coder is focused on fixing bugs or balancing the game.

I'm eager to see what the 1.0 product will be but for now, I think I'm done with the game. Other games are better uses of my valuable time, but I enjoyed my time with the game. It was worth the money. Hopefully the developers will stick to a more concrete roadmap and not focus on people bragging on discord about achievements or loot, because that seemed to have immediately made them re-balance the enemies so people wouldn't be able to achieve those results or loot that quickly in the future.

Hopefully they find a better means for re-spawning enemies, because just waiting around in my world or leveling an alt.. again.. just to pass time to spawn an enemy who drops a quest item that is already a rare drop isn't a good use of my time.
