After an excruciating long wait, it's finally out. I've played every closed beta since the "Preview" release over a year ago and the improvements they've made since then are phenomenal. The game runs buttery smooth outside of towns, with some notable frame drops when you enter a town due to all of the players. Latency hasn't been a problem for me, hits are connecting, no complaints there. Crafting and gathering is a nice combination of simple to understand, but with a solid level of optional complexity as you get further into it. The world is vibrant and colorful, with the landscapes featuring deserted farming villages, to ship graveyards, to completely corrupted cities, to massive Mayan-inspired ruins in the distance that defy physics. The only complaint where the game falls short is enemy design. You're going to be fighting wildlife, or zombies, or zombified wildlife, or some variant of 'corrupted' which are really just demonic zombies. There's some more variety in the dungeon content of the game, but not by much. That said, this doesn't really bug me much.
Questing is pretty standard for an mmo, as most of it is 'go here, kill x or gather y'. Where it shines though, is that these quests can have an impact on the game, a la Faction missions, which can help your chosen faction take over an area, or town missions, which help fund and build up crafting stations or other amenities in the town, which are required as you progress in the game.
My biggest concern in the game is one I don't think has really been addressed yet, and it's how they intend to prevent a faction from snowballing.

I want to note, as far as comments complaining about massive server queues, I logged in today and looked at the server list and saw most of the servers didn't even have a queue, with two or three outliers. Those outliers were servers that popular streamers have chosen. This is on both the NA East AND West servers. As far as MMO launches go, this has to be one of the smoothest I've seen.

You literally can't not use it for VR on steam why is this even a question you HAVE to use it.
