Hello there!
So let me relate what I have experienced while playing this fantastic game!
Exp rate IS DAMN FINE, seriously I have achieved rank 4 our of 10 in 5 days… This is a perfect ongoing. It will take time to get to the end and IT’S OK. I don’t want this insta-gratification, I want to work hard and get on top of the others. This games offers me this challenge!
Mana Regeneration I am probably not the only one who thinks that Spirit points doesn’t seem to affect my regeneration much… I was always chugging lots of mana potions, always on cooldown. Maybe this need a little revising, not a lot but just kick it up a notch.
Classes vs Damage Ok this is one thing that didn’t go well for me, I played Wizard 3 and then Elementalist. For being a “magic” “DPS” class I wasn’t doing much damage compared to a Crit Barbarian or even a Highlander crit. Magic Missile(which is rank 3 Wizard) is supposed to be the pinnacle of the wizard and frankly… I did not use it much. I did around 700 per bolt, 3 bolts per cast, 2 cast before cooldown. Which at first seems good! but go against a pack and the bolt divide, 3 hits on random mobs. Compare it to the Barb auto crit of 2.2k damage per attack and my Magic missile seems like a pony next to a stallion. I know, there is some balancing left to do etc. But I think it deserves attention.
Questing vs Grinding Overall this was perfect for me! A good balance between doing quests and having to grind. Near one level in quest and then about 2 level to grind seems to be a good mix for me. I enjoyed it.
I only had time to test out Wizard to rank 3, Elementalist 1 and Swordman 1 but this game is gonna be a must play for me when it goes live that is for sure!
Thanks for allowing to play IMC. Thanks to all fellow players with who I played and I hope to see you in the next beta!
