6/10

PROS:
- I liked the extension of the personal story. The player’s role as Commander seemed more prominent with more dialogue.
- Hang gliding. Enough said.
- Revenant related skins have a mystical demonic theme that I really like. Separates them from normal plate wearers.
- Revenant animations are very cool.
- More interactivity within zones (Not restricted to heart tasks and map completion.)
- A Mastery System that extends player experience post level 80.
- Hang gliding!

CONS:
- The beta starting zone killed my FPS. This may or may not be a personal problem, but I don’t usually encounter these issues.
- The Wyvern battle felt a bit lackluster for a meta boss. Bigger pool of HP, annoying burns, but the effort put in did not equal the reward/experience for me.
- Revenant didn’t feel very mobile… maybe include one skill with access to swiftness?
- Hang gliding was a bit confusing to understand. I didn’t receive any prompt (that I would have liked) notifying me I was able to hang glide.
- The Mastery System’s UI was also slightly disorienting initially.

I understand this is only the first beta test, and my opinions are based solely on a first impressions stand point. Overall, I am happy with the idea of an expansion. It is very refreshing.
