Its not even just linear questing. Its the same sort of rubbish you would find in any asian game like Shaiya or (insert name here) Pointless cicking and generic mob placement. Which apparently you have to man your way to level 30 for it get good, since then you can be killed by other players while doing it.
I logged in multiple times but the pointless stuff killed off any fun for me before I even got to the interesting sounding things. I've seen better questing in MUDs from 1998.
5 hours into game, lvl20... I have yet to see any sandbox. And the whole game is breeding with a dull feel. Maybe lvl30 will be better but I'm wondering if its worth getting there.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
Usually when a game is this close to release, you are pretty much experiencing what the launch product will be. I think "it's just beta" at this point is a defense with no merit.
The issue is it starts itself off as a linear game which is silly. Its putting itself off as a linear themepark at the start when it evolves greatly to be much more sandbox. Its unfortunately presenting itself in the wrong way at the start. Its fine to have quests and the like and give a traditional MMO experience, but it really needs to show off its features a lot more to the players early on to see what it has to offer.

I agree, I think identity crisis may be the right term.

Its a 2 year old game. Its only beta was never a valid argument for anything other than the translations.
Disappointed after trying it tonight for a couple of hours.
Main reason was the linear feel of the game but being a sandbox. Starting out and questing is so linear. The game maybe a sandbox world in some places but others it's just too constricted to bring me into the game, I want to be immersed when I play a sandbox and not have the game hold my hand to show me what to do or where to go. If questing was done right it would have gotten points from me, but it has failed at that aspect as well.
The towns seem to be slow and boring, I especially dislike how the animations are for movement. I also find it hard to get into a new mmorpg when you got a lot of people the same look all the way through the game, many players daunting the same gear and look really doesn't do it for me, pushes me further from immersion. When Everquest first came out in 99 and I loaded it up and played the first time that was the experience I was hoping with this game, but it never got me, never pulled me in.
Combat is weak, the animations and game play are more conducive for Asian market, keeping in mind this was an Asian game to begin with it is no wonder it may not do well over here. I see the same game type you find in ESO and Neverwinter.
This is the kind of game maybe you come back to in 1 year and go wow they did a lot of polishing, it does feel a little more complex and real. But for now I do not get the sense of pleasure out of this one, it's lacking somewhere. Maybe you guys can tell me what I missed that is so great that it encapsulates me and pulls me in in an immersive kind of way?
You need to reach level 21837674354. Then the game becomes fun.

You could have saved 24GB download by doing some researches; but i guess to each their own :P
Could be they are beta testing the hardware.
yeah very true, but i like to see for myself. never know there could be something that just hooks me.
