I was in it for most stages of beta. I love the atmosphere/landscape and the world. The subtle sound and music is nice too. However...
The combat really lacks anything. It's so slow and uninspiring. Combat animations need lots of work. The armor sets/textures/colors are so bland... Perhaps they are meant to be, for this genre. But, they are so lifeless.. everybody is running around wearing light brown, tan, or other faded light colors.
The only thing I really enjoyed like I said was the atmosphere, landscape and also the graphics are very 'crisp' and clean.
Needs more life, color and excitement.. especially in the combat department.
Anyways, I like my characters to look bad ass with cool looking armor.
