made it to 21 on a beastwarden. May get 1 or 2 more levels but that’ll be it… time to write them essays of feedback.
had a gay old time with it. This is the first test I really got to see the entire gameplay loop / rotation of 1 class and then have enough time left over to do random mountain climbing and exploring.
Went from mammoths to the elfshelf, then from the satisfactory gas swamp place to the dwarf npcs in the mountain pass.
It’s got undeniable charm, but it does get grindy if you’re trying to speed run your leveling by yourself. I wish I could relax and feel good about smelling the flowers on the way up.. maybe gather all the pets, level them up, etc.. make some tradeskill gear. Or join pugs and get dungeon loot.. Some people are doing just that - that’ll be a much more rewarding experience than just finding fast spawning barely dark blue animals in a corner and mowing them down for 10 hrs a day like I did. But i had a goal.. had to see 20+ and explore the world.
The TBD / indev areas are all so cool. Yeah it’s virtually minecraft but no terrain or building asset I saw was ever repeated, which is neat. Wish them the best with the development and hope to get a longer term closed or open testing opportunity to really dig into all systems and quests soonish.
