This game is ridiculous and stupid fun.

I got to level 18 on my Sorc tonight and I left a place where there were spooky undeads and now I'm in some kind of Salt Flat Desert place

and throughout it all my character looks dumb as hell

All in all it owns.

From the sounds of it there's a bunch of ways to level your alts passively and having two free 50's right off the bat should cover off most of your variety needs. Because yeah the msq is like 95% terrible.

Wait I just figured out what's loving me up with the controls

unlike Diablo, there is no contextual clicking for combat

it's always move or attack, and you need to use attack to place AoEs that have to be placed

who in the gently caress makes a diablo-like in 2022 and doesn't have contextual click

the game does neat things but holy hell the bad stuff is :rubby:-level bad

Yeah it’s weird but if you’re auto-attacking something’s probably gone wrong anyways.

What are the exact requirements for power pass? I hit 50, unlocked and ran a chaos dungeon, and have advanced the vern quest a bit since and still have not received one.

My understanding was the same quest that unlocks chaos dungeon is the requirement.

You want your move click to always move you. In harder content with limited resurrections you don't want pointless extra deaths because there was an add under your cursor and you autoattacked instead of running out of the red zone.

Download the Korean VO. It's under DLC in steam.
Select that, and pay no attention to it

Even if you like game stories, it's just like some lines being read, with gently caress all life to it

Maybe give it a try in case you dig it

It's not even being read badly per se, it's just boring. Like I'm all for terrible wuxia dubs but this doesn't even capture that energy.

Chaos dungeons are pretty mindless fun, like greater rifts but you barely even need to move, 100 monsters just spawn on you ever 5 seconds.

Guardians feel like they take forever, but maybe everyone is just bad. I know I am. Are chaos shards easy enough to get I should be using awakening on cooldown?

I know I should use my counter when the bear flashes blue, but I swear it never works, even if I'm kind of in front-ish of it. Does it only work directly from the front? Standing there waiting to counter seems like a bad idea when 80% of the time he'll just be stomping on my face instead.

The controller combat experience is good and the AoE auto-aim almost always goes where I wanted it immediately. No problems even in dungeons.

The general interface stuff is sheer lunacy though. Like advance text, confirm dialogue choice, equip item, and interact with object are all different binds by default I think. I had to use Steam config to bind like 4 different keys to one controller button like it should be. Having to drag the cursor with emulated mouse in all instances instead of cycling through menu options with the D-pad like FFXIV or ESO is kind of unfortunate too. Generally when games have this low level of partial controller support it never gets any better.

There are thankfully very few unskippable cutscenes but yeah between the terrible leveling, unskippable cutscenes, combat already feeling repetitive in the 20s, boring challengeless dungeons with HP spongey bosses and the increasingly apparent enormous gear treadmill that comprises endgame despite having some of the world's most uninteresting gear I'm really second guessing dedicating 70gigs of my ssd to this game. I watched some videos of end-game from the Korean server and I don't see what makes the raids or anything any different from other MMOs/ARPG boss fights :effort:

Steam says I've played 6.8 hours and I'm willing to guess at least 5 and a half of those hours, if not more, were just mashing G to skip through dialog.

I alt-F4'd when I started going through the Welcome Quests and Rapport Quests and all the sub-quest stuff and realizing this game is layer upon layer upon dozens of layers of inane pointless grindy systems and haven't been able to start it up again. Collecting rare cards and building a deck for minor stat bonuses, building up friendships with NPCs and learning what emotes they like for minor stat bonuses, the absolutely absurd crafting/upgrading system, the adventurer's journal with dozens and dozens of collectables in every zone... for minor stat bonuses, several different currencies, etc. , grinding the same non-proc-gen levels ad nauseum every day/week for crafting materials, all to increase boring "strength" and "vitality" stats so I can do the same grinding faster tomorrow. Constantly having 17 different notifications on your screen about different rewards you can claim from the game's 80 different reward systems except they're all useless tiny trickles of potions or resources. It sounds like BDO on crack.

I don't know how much of that is the game's fault and how much is just me being incredibly bored of this formula of MMO where it feels like a core concept was developed (fairly fun combat? It got dull quick imo but that could just be Soulfist being a dull class) and then got thinly stretched over a mobile game monetization/addiction scheme.

Same. It was worse that the game explicitly tells me that skipping this stuff is allowed on a second play through. Why can't I skip it now I want killing :argh:

Yeah I definitely want to figure out how this works too. My friends are split on different servers so depending on where they end up I don't want to lose my bonuses.
