I've been reading various impressions of this game. So far most are negative. Not surprised.

**Daemonxel** · 2014-02-08 17:26

Myself I think I will just wait till the next tes stand alone or till the mod skywind is done. They merging morrowind into the skyrim engine

Calling support requires you email them/open a ticket and they will call you back.

"Estimated 1 hour wait for call back" 2 hours later, still waiting. haha

They're busy not fixing bugs and laughing when the servers crash. Give them time.

**Odin'sLaw** · 2014-02-08 19:36

whatever they've done to fix w/e the problem was, has now made everyone hyper lag :/, well was nice while it lasted (getting the ps4 version over the PC version)

**Eldelphia** · 2014-02-08 21:37

I wasn't impressed last time but they said they fixed a bunch of stuff. They may well have but I couldn't login most of the day. Created a new character, did the first part and then got stuck on a load screen. Nope, not for me. Just not interested enough after the first time to put up with this crap.

That's something you always hear in shitty MMOs and i'll admit even I have told people that "just wait it gets better after lvl xx" then realized just how wrong I was a few months later after playing. Only MMO ive played where the start of the MMO wasn't what the rest was, was back in Aion, where 1-20 were a lot of fun and then the game just went "LOL FUCKING KOREEEEAAAAA" on you.

pls don't mention Aion, that caused my PTSD to flare up

To this day I remember playing the beta and going "Wow these first 20 lvls are pretty fun and the 1st dungeon is pretty fun too, short and has loot drops at the end, i'll totally play this!"

YOU WERE A FOOL PAST ME...A FOOL

Haha, this is brilliant. Aion is an experience I will never forget D:

The same bugs keep occurring, certain named mobs don't spawn and the same quests break over and over again which indicates they aren't actually fixing anything.. just occasionally resetting the scripting lol.

Thanks for everyone updating their experience. I didn't even bother downloading and I as well will wait for F2P.

**Siya** · 2014-02-09 15:07

I played Aion but not a lot, what was so bad about it?

I wish I could update my experience on EOS but I don't feel like waiting in this hour+ long queue D:. Previous BETAs felt like it would be a fun game to play for story/coop with gf, but not last very long. Really want a filler til Wildstar comes out.

The 1 > 20 leveling process was quite fun, but at 20+ it just went super grind mode. That was my first ever encounter to a traditional Korean MMO experience and it left a bad taste in my mouth lol.

This was at launch, so like 4 years a go? I played it last year for a short while it's not like that any more I guess they listened to their western player base.

**jmc** · 2014-02-09 15:31

"You have been placed in a que, estimated wait time is 4 hours 23 mins 15 seconds"

Fuck this nonsense hahaha

**Kelenae** · 2014-02-09 15:46

They did just give a whole bunch of people beta keys for the stress test..... but ya.. thats crazy lol. Aren't they going to just have one server?

500k from Curse alone to be exact so the server taking a shit is to be expected and I hope not :<

**Zetanio** · 2014-02-09 17:05

My main problem now is that there are random BIG bugs floating around.

I had no sound for 4 hours. didn't notice til I had to relog. The syncing issues with the NPC convos. The loading screens, NPC's getting trapped in the walls.

This is not close to ready.

It took me approximately 3 days of grinding repeatable quests and the Abyss to reach level 44. I stopped playing after that when I saw that it took 30,000,000xp or some similarly ridiculous number for 45.

45-50 was no better. You pretty much grinded the same exact undead mobs the entire way. If i recall, it was around 8 hours per level.

While i prefer long leveling paths instead of the 3-7 days we've been getting recently, there has to be enough content for those levels.

Aion still makes me cringe.
