Hello, first of all i would like to say that game fulfilled all my expectations, maybe even exceeded them. I am playing it from the head start and it is really entertaining. There is so much details and hidden npcs with lots of funny stuff to hear that really made me stunned.
But there are few things that really puts me off and away from the game. Since I am not really interested in PvP, once i reached lvl 80, game started to feel empty. Dungeons, dragons and acolytes of gods are really interesting to do, and some of them are challenging but reward after hour long, or longer run that gets you pile of blue rubbish is just straight repelling. Not to mention that some dungeons tend to wipe you no matter how hard you try and breaks you armor instantly which often makes you lose money even if you complete the full run. Getting a rare from a chest every now and then should be a must, not a 1 in a million. I didn’t get any rare from chests, ever and i used to do quite some runs per day.
I personally love the challenge and events that ask maximum out of players, but some, usually low lvl dungeons, are so unbalanced that it is pointless to try, especially when you know that reward after you do it will not cover costs of armor repairs.
Story line of the game is interesting to a point where you get more cinematic time than actual game play. I actually skipped quite a few cinematics simply because there is no need to watch 3 or 4 of them when you are pretty much doing a same quest that has been split up in 4 smaller ones.
I sure hope things with dungeons and end game content will get balanced out, because it is shame to be forced to farm cash just so you can be able to repair armor after completing a dungeon.
And one more thing, Black Market. I know it is still new, and it takes time to settle, but few things bother me quite a bit. How am I supposed to sell an item, when people undercut prices up to the point where price of an item is almost half the price of all the materials it is crafted from. I know buying mats/crafting/selling is not working, but what about farming them?
I sure hope those stuff will get fixed, because PVE at the moment is really in a bad place. People like getting loads of gold and being able to do interesting challenging stuff to get it. I know I do.
