I wanted this game to succeed so much I spent like $80 on beta stuff to show my support. I regret every penny of that and will never give the developers another penny again.

The game is just awful all around, from gameplay to the interface/navigation menus/gaming options. Every decision they make only makes the game worse. Every patch makes the game play worse. Nexon and Neople clearly have no clue how to make an FPS.

They had a dying beta community and everything they did to try and get more matches going (I've spent hours sitting in a lobby waiting to get enough people) only served to drive more people away (they did this by forcing people into playing game modes they didn't want to play).

Daily rewards are a joke and only involve about 10 clicks to get 1 10% bonus reward into your armory so you can use it.

Gameplay is frustrating at best. Every time you start to adjust to the awful mechanics, they change it..never actually fixing anything.

Enix - Agreed. I felt like they took a very community approach to designing the game and everything about it. Currently playing another beta, Paladins, and it's a way better.

Honest review, couldn't agree more. Interfaces are overdesigned and complex in nature, visuals are not too appealing either, movement feels clunky, >1000 average players each month. Loot crate system plus RNG and pay2skip elements. Painfully slow level progression, very underdeveloped mapdesign.

It was fun while it lasted. The terminal conquest mode was the only new thing I really enjoyed, since the map layout was finally wider and more complex, as well as the gameplay overall. What a shame though, I cannot judge the game by this gamemode alone.
