Hello , i’ve been playing since Day 1 in Zemyna , and i wanted to share my thoughs about the game (In a solo player view), i have another Character that i play in a party aswell.
Yes i know it’s beta,
May contain spoilers !
Start
Went for a Solo play style, made a Swordman, playing with a Controller,
Im playing about 2-4 Hours per day, so far im lvl 75 Barbarian at level 13 Class.
So far, i could solo all areas i went (for my level), i had no difficulty at killing mobs (Maybe some of them took some time to kill, or use of potion), could get medium/rare drops to craft good Equips in a fair time hunting. So what’s my problem with this ?
Bosses
From level 1 to 75 (Keep in mind that my char is a Barbarian)
Of all bosses i’ve met , i almost died in one, 3 of them got stuck/frozen, the battle were pretty much Equal, easy to dodge skillshoots, nor they made damage to me (like 200, to someone that has 5000). And one of bosses didn’t drop the Required item for the Unique recipe so i can’t make the lvl 75 Armor i want, and won’t find anywhere else. (Item : Yonazolen Fragment).
Quests
Besides the lag, i had no issue with the quest i’ve done so far, maybe i skipped one or other, but i could complete them.
Mobs
The only problem i saw so far is when Mobs gets to close to Npc’s and gets invulnerable and stuck in the screen ( You only MISS them every hit/spell you use on them).
Also some people are just standing in the same spot attacking, and just go AFK, and keep looting the monsters that respawn in the same position .
Dungeon
Dungeon Level 50 (Tenet Garden)
The only part of my gameplay that i had to find a Party to complete,and even there i saw one Barbarian level 70+ could solo it, but due to time consuming would not be worth of it.
I expected more from a Dungeon from this game, just one Corridor with the same Monsters i saw before inside the Chapel, with just Tripled HP and maybe double DMG, wasnt much, no objetives inside the dungeon either, just the basic, lure 3-6 monsters, kill advance until you find the boss and throw everything on him until he dies, not much of and action now is it ? Don’t get me wrong, it was fun, but i expected more.
Economy
As a Barbarian around level 40, i bought by mistake 114 HP potions insted of 14 ( yeah the shift click ), and i still had money to buy anything i wanted, the repair price does not matter , if your wep is at 1/40 or 39/40, it does not change (yet 03/11, they are trying to fix it), sold somethings on the Market.
So what you can spend your money on ?
Skills : You should really invest in this one.
Market : People really don’t set a fair price so it’s hard to find something good, also the market is so filled with Low items that you would rather go find the item yourself.
Pet (Skillpoint) : In my view, unworth
Repair : Necessary can’t argue.
Potions : The potions i can buy are really cheap, im always with 80 HP pots and 40 Mana pots.
Anvil Upgrade : Bit expensive, but you should use about 5 lvls, if you have more money max it, and put good gems on your item. (But since griding from 40 to 75 its a bit fast, you should just keep your money for the 75 items ).
Conclusion
The Stress Test makes a bit hard for us to test things as it demands really patience, the lag and the disconnects, sometimes you just stop and go play something else.
I know some of us just want to play the game, others want to test, and some others want just to flood the all chat.
Overall o like this game, this has potential, but it need more balanced dificulty (not even near of getting killed), i don’t even need to dodge some Boss skills, i just stand there in front of him hitting ( Maybe because of the class i choose for solo ? ), the dungeon need work , alot , make some Mini bosses inside , make objectives, use a timer (idk 20 minutes or you fail the dungeon ) make a class reward for completing the dungeon , not just giving a random item for everyone, i won a Gold Bar from the boss, and i don’t even know for what im using it for (well i saw at wiki but you see my point).
Most of the monsters are just Chase you and Attack, some of them have skills, and that’s all, no unique features, every monster seems equal, just attack and kill .
Thanks for your time. I really want to see how this game develops.
But for me ? The game is to linear, easy, the fun factor goes away really quick, the only thing that keep me in the game is the exploration, since the graphics and drawing are really nice.
Hope this helps on something.
