I first want to say that it was SO fun playing this map- especially while gliding! The only problem I had with the glider is that once I land, the flight endurance bar disappears. This makes it a bit hard to determine if I can jump off a cliff again, or if I’ll die. It might be helpful for it to stay visible until it is fully recharged.
I’m not sure how the full map will eventually work with the top, middle, and bottom layers, but I certainly hope that you will be able to glide between the layers instead of dying if you glide to low. I’m reserving my judgement on that until the final release.
For the itzel story line, I was very disappointed because I never got to fight the wyvern.
Every map I was on, the story would freeze when you have to place the eggs around the hylek camp. I think we put down at least 100 eggs and alas nothing; everyone eventually left. Additionally, there was one map where all the daytime events froze and we could do no longer do anything. It did thankfully reset at nighttime, so that time slot wasn’t a complete waste.
For hunting game with the itzel there were problems as well. I feel like the mobs scaled waaaay to high as it was always impossible to keep the three itzel hunters alive. I think there needs to be a way to revive them when they get hurt, for a start, and maybe scale the enemies back a bit.
For the story mode, I had a few problems where the audio wouldn’t play and the cut-scenes wouldn’t appear- like when the overseer calls on Moldremoth for help.
On the revenant, I think it was a pretty fun first look at what it will be like! It seemed, however, that it did not deal nearly as much damage as it should have being a heavy-armoured class. I think I only used the demon legend once or twice, it felt like it was very lackluster and really didn’t do much. I loved the dwarf legend though! The only problems I had was that sometimes the hammers that spin around you sometimes quit for no reason- and not because the bar gets to 0%. It seems as if sometimes the hammers would keep spinning when I using the other skills, and sometimes they would just crap out- even when the bar was high. Not sure if anyone else had this problem. I can’t wait to see what other legends come out and how they can make creative builds!
Overall, I’m excited for the next beta if there is one! I think I spent most of my time just gliding around exploring the map. It was such a fun map to explore! I really can’t wait to be able to go into the top part of the forest and to see the rest of it. Even though we only got to play like a sixth of the full three-layered map, it seemed like it was pretty dense and had a lot to offer!
P.S. I am now constantly jumping off cliffs expecting to glide! This’ll take some getting used to. :P
