Okay, I lied. I was able to get in to the Zemyna server and now I'm level 11. Its not bad to far. Gotta spend some time looking at the controls and options but I've reached the New Prontera. Having a lot of fun so far as an Archer. In the game as Naolin.

Got in to Zemya as CaoNiMa the cleric, game is fun so far. Lag is bearable, seems the client is trusted a lot and it doesn't influence combat that much. Picking up quests or items from the ground does take a while.

I am amazed that we can actually log in and play with only some lag spurts here and there. The chat ticker at the top of the screen really gives it a twitch chat feel too, which is actually great and it's small enough to ignore when you don't care.

Is UI mode working for anyone playing with a controller right now? I can move the cursor and highlight things, but can't select anything with any controller buttons. The button to hold down to move the cursor faster works.

been leveling up with friends, it goes fast

careful with some dialog options that launch boss events. If someone is not on that step, they don't enter and can't enter.

we are about level 26 and the game armps up in difficulty since there are npcs with quests that don't show up on the map

once you finish the mines talk to everyone you come across

I'm also really impressed the the servers are not a smouldering wreckage. Lag is more pronounced than the smaller first test, but it's still totally playable for a stress test.

Some changes I've noticed from the first test so far:

I found a rad named shield called "Meteor" from the infamous giant red kepa near the mining town, it has a chance on being hit to proc a self regen that almost heals me to full. I never found any kind of interesting named loot in the entire first test. Seems like they're implementing more gear.

There's a new monster in the crystal mines that's like a stationary vine that lives on its one tile and seems to spawn more of itself and have no upper limit on how much it can grow. As a result, I found a secluded corner of the mine where they had literally grown into every tile in the entire room, like a thick jungle. I gained half a level just clearing them out with numbers flying everywhere, and found a (rare) level 2 treausre chest at the end of the corridor, which gave a sweet necklace.

The best change I've noticed is that the exp curve so far is muuuuch more bearable than the first test (at least in the lower levels). In the first test, unless you were grinding, by the time you get into the crystal mines the minibosses start becoming absolute chores because they have so much HP and you're not leveling fast enough to keep up via quests. Now, I'm about level 30 as I cleared the crystal mines (this took the entire next zone and some grinding to hit in the first test) and I've been slam dunking every boss so far on my not particularly min-maxed Krivis, which is how it should be in the first few hours of the game.

I love how my healing magic hurts all mater of mobs now and not just undead. Cure is an absolute death zone. Im thinking of just not getting safety zone thing and just maxing cure, heal and deprotect zone.

e- The fps is all over the place. FFXIV gets more stable performance than this right now and this is with a 980ti and a i7 at 4.0ghz. I think its just all the player characters on screen at the time.

Im going to make a g13 profile, the keyboard works well enough but my brain cant parse normal attack and skills being the way they are.

Controller support works surprisingly well (for combat), especially for melee guys. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

The vines aren't new, the shield isn't new, and yes, the exp rate seems like it will be literally 10 times better. Can't wait to get home so I can play more!

You can turn it off with the options menu attached to your chat entry box, unless they changed it. Not very intrusive though.

I'm just going roughly 3:1 or 4:1 STR:DEX ratio on my Archer, with a little CON sprinkled in later on for survivability. Seems to be working well.

Can confirm so far that Archer c2 is nice. Controller support is loving nice.

This is pressing my Ragnarok Online buttons right in the middle, game is charming, but performance wise it runs worse than Witcher 3 for some reason. I'm assuming server lag is in cause, especially since I'm from EU.
Quick question, are random trash mobs tagged by the attacking player and you are "stealing" xp if you hit someone's (like in RO or WoW or 90% of MMOs), or hitting mobs has no consequences and everyone is in a happy place receiving full xp and loot (like GW2) ?

I think theres been talks about being able to do some sort of stat reset as a cash shop item, which would make sense seeing as they need to somehow make a profit on this game. Currently in the beta I dont think theres a way to reset them.

The stat/skill reset scrolls already exist and are in the game to buy with their iCoin currency.

Who knows if you will be able to get them without paying money in the final product. I doubt it.
