Short feedback regarding my experience

Post#1 » Mon Oct 27, 2014 7:26 am

So first off. I know it's in alpha. This isn't meant as a post for blaming/hate/ect. Just the things I noticed in the short time I put into the game. Feedback from a new player/tester(?).

So the first bit of trouble I ran into was finding the client. I kept running into torrent issues and did finally get the iso from the "mega" link. Not sure if there's a way to bundle the launcher with the iso and make it autoplay/self-extract to a chosen location? Could it also be archived in some way to decrease the filesize to make the download faster? That might make things easier for new players.

Then I ran into trouble with the launcher trying to login. It only accepts alphanumeric passwords on the launcher yet my forum password had symbols. I had to change my password on the forum then close the launcher and reopen the launcher to login. I had to do that because it disabled the connect button after the password error. My suggestion would be to include something about that for password creation or allow for symbols in the launcher field. Overall a minor issue though.

But ok, I got logged in and made my first character. A Chosen of Chaos. I like tanky psycopaths. Lol. Anyways, here's what I ran up against. The first thing I saw in Norsca was a squig running towards me then teleport back to the beginning of it's path and repeat. Kinda funny/weird. Then I tried to kill a raven that was colored as an enemy. I could target it and start attack animations but then they would freeze and do nothing. All the while the raven was walking through walls/boulders/ect. I then started doing quests and quickly ran into more glitches and problems.

Such as:
Awakened spirits walking through walls/objects and being too far/close despite what the character model suggested.
The bags for Vorque's Sackbag quest floating in midair during and after the quest. (Ghostly baggage!)
The heart of battle tomb door showing Temp Door as the name. (No full timers here!)
Seer Thaena calling me [Name]. (How rude!)
Items not showing what they do. Such as Dram of Restoration and Dram of Invigoration. (I can assume what they do but it would be nice to have the fine details.)
Not being able to interact with quest objects like the ammunition and cannons for Daemonic Strength quest or the secured chests and kindling in the next quest area.

More minor stuff but frustrating to encounter after everything needed to jump back into this fun game. It'd be great if the first areas for starting characters were mostly bug free/cosmetically pleasing to kind of show proof of concept I guess you could say. I really enjoyed this game back when it was active and would love to relive that if possible. I guess I couldn't really not be somewhat judgy. I would say overall not being able to complete quests was/is my biggest issue. Hard to keep interest if you can't progress in a traditional manner.
