After 300 hours, here is my two cents

Feedback and Suggestions

LE has huge potential. I love the game. Here are some of my thoughts.

  1. Animations. This is one of the biggest factors in a games perception and how enjoyable it is to play. I stayed away from this game for the longest time as I could not stomach the animations. They were really poor, to put it kindly. These have steadily improved. The Mage is fine, new Sentinel is fine. I love the Primalist’s one handed animations. That being said, the way he holds polearms and runs with them is cancer. Its a very unnatural stance and his joints look disconnected as his arms bobble up and down. Please please please review if you can. With the polearms, I wish he was more like the sentinel in this regard. Werebear form, the movement still doesn’t look great. Looks very unnatural.
    The Acolyte will get a make over soon. However lich form needs to be addressed. Looks and feels off with movement and animations. Animations is something that should be periodically reviewed and updated for LE. Please, I cant stress how important this is.

  2. The Skill system is good. It would be even better if skills were not class locked. That being said, the Devs will have to make a huge number of additional skills for each class to keep it fresh and exciting. New skills need to be added periodically for each class, to offset the class locked skills which limit options. This will be essential for longevity. New skills every cycle will go a long way to keeping the game fun and playable.

  3. Crafting. Its great that you do not need a PHD to understand crafting. I have played POE and hate its crafting system. This works just fine. Please add a minion movement speed shard if you can.

  4. Endgame, I am waiting until all endgame modes have been released. Monolith is fine as it is as of this morning. You may have to continually expand it.

  5. Combat. I LOVE explosions hehe. If you can add some explosion enabling shards. That would be amazing. Also monster noises as they die is really cool. I would love to feel more “contact” for hit skills when they hit the enemy if you know what I mean. I do not have much to criticize here. I will wait for Devs to steadily improve the look and feel of the game. That Is it for combat, but remember, all things are better with explosions and growling noises as monsters die. LOL

  6. Graphics. They have steadily improved. The new end of time should honestly set the standard for the rest of the game. Do not underestimate the power of eye candy in drawing in new players and keeping them.

  7. Performance. This needs alot of work. Its improved a bit but still suffers ALOT in intense combat situations. The Necromancer cannot play this to her full potential as the game stands.

  8. Balancing. My note to the devs, beware of human nature. Lust, envy, jealousy, vanity and greed. People will always want what others have and will hate those that have what they don’t. Other times they will have something and simply not want anyone to have what they already have. You cant satisfy them all and if you cater to human nature, in the end all good things will be ruined. Balance the game according to your vision. Not according to the 1% of elite players and also not to the others who complain simply because someone is so much better at the game than they are, or someone else got an item that makes their build nolonger the king in a certain aspect. You have a vision, stick to it (reasonably, while taking feedback into account). You cant balance human nature.

  9. MTX. I am okay with you selling these to support future development. Get a pretty damn good Artist team, pay them well and let their creativity flow. As for pricing, do not follow POE. They charge extravagant prices, many times for simple reskins meaning they will make less in the longrun. Charge fair prices, you will sell more. Personally speaking I will spend 50 dollars to get 7 or 8 different MTXs. I will not spend 50 dollars to get two or three. So, lower prices = more sales = more revenue. It also does not look as scummy. As for those who complain that a paid for game should not have any kind of MTX, tell them to start working for free at their current jobs, seeing as they dont need to put food on the table. Children!
    However, if you go the lootbox/gambling route. I am only one person, but you will have lost my business. Let people get what they pay for. Lootbox/Gambling is very scummy. I personally do not patronize lootbox developers.

  10. Offline. Please make game files readily accessible for offline client. Modding goes a long way in longterm replayability. Do not make these a pain to access for offline client.

Thats all I can think about for now.
PS - You will not be ready for a 2020 release. No way.

I think he is refering about the subclasses skills. It wouldnt have sense if he says that about normal classes.

So he wants the Forge Knight to be able to have Holy Aura and Judgement?

Yea i guess thats wath he wants, but i have no issues with the class skills as they are now, i enjoy them! having this kind of “limitations” when you choose class and skills its fine for me because it makes you think and to plan the strategy of the build. It also gives the subclasses more indentity and i allways liked that.

Edit: Also, most of skill can be personalizated a lot, in many cases you can change the damage type of multiple skills to make them fit in your build. So honestly i dont like the idea of “all skills released” in each class. Wolcen did that and honestly, i didnt felt it like a big thing. But of course, that is my subjective opinion.

I dont mind that. Keep in mind these skills scale off of different stats. A mage wanting vengeance would have to spec into strength, which gimps their magic as magic needs intelligence. Also if the game had been built from the ground up for this, the skills would have been balanced differently. I would just love to have a primalist shooting bows or a lich with a bow or melee weapon. Just a wish.

A yes i also like if diferent classes can use multiples kind of weapons to make diferent variatons of builds. I spent a lot of times in differents arpg making that weard conbinations. I gess my first one was the bow on a druid on D2, not the tipycal meta but was really fun. That is something i find really fun on this genre, testing builds that are “weird” and making them work.
