That said it does look really good, and without a doubt the genre could really use some fresh blood. Definitely moved to the "Watching" list, and want to find out more about it.
Someone was also a clicker in that video too..(:38 seconds in)....oh the horror. I don't think fewer slill buttons is a big deal as long as it's fun, fluid and give good feedback when using skills. It reminds me of New World, BDO, which can be fun once you get the pattern of the class you play down.
The lack of skills used to bother me in games. The truth is, the last few games I've put significant hours into (New World and ESO) I've still been able to build capable, and enjoyable characters with less available skills. It's not the skill, it's that I'm forced to make some choices.
Yeah, I know there will always be a meta, and one way that works out to be better than others, but somehow I think less available skills is less a detriment than I used to think. I was definitely wrong.
You're delusional if you think this game won't be absolutely P2W like Lineage or BnS.
Genuinely curious since I have played neither.

Cautiosly optimistic on this one
On a side note anyone else do a double take on the face coverings?
Stands to reason that SEA would be on the bleeding edge of mask styling since using them has been very common there for decades.

Until we see a launch and reviews, we can't really be sure how this one will turn out. Personally, I do not play betas or early access and never buy/play before the reviews are in. As this is a MMO I nearly always wait for a few months in from launch for the teething problems to be sorted. For example, ESO sorted out their UI problems some two months after launch, it can pay to wait.

And this game looks good, honestly.
By the end of 2023 Darktide, Hogwarts Legacy, Redfall, Arc Raiders, System Shock remake, Alan Wake 2, and GoW:Ragnarok will be out just to name a few, and I can get my fix of action combat in those games far better than in any MMORPG. And those games will very likely have far better narratives to follow, to boot.
About the only thing that interests me is the large-scale PvP, but even then I have Squad, Hell Let Loose, Chiv2, and even Foxhole to fill that void. And it won't be simple zerging.
