No Rest For The Wicked

Fencer all day for solo than cleric for co-op.

I give them credit for fixing a lot of the gameplay problems but goddamn this game still gives mobile/GAAS/MMO garbage a serious run for their money when it comes to endless tedium, a retarded grind, and lack of anything resembling QOL.

I don’t care for the city / ingredients / components part of the game. What is the point of making me put eight pieces of wood in a refinery and having to wait for them to get done? There’s no mobile gem shop type component to this game so I don’t understand the point. That part is bad design. Loving the world, level designs, combat, setting though. They just need to cut out the pointless shit like that, it doesn’t add anything positive to the game experience.

Yeah, that's my biggest problem with the game. I hate having to constantly stop and harvest materials (doubly so because it's a retarded QTE minigame that takes way too long) instead of just playing the game. They removed the timers on buildings but apparently Mahler or whoever it is that defends the mobile game shit like it's his firstborn is a spiteful prick because they also doubled the cost of everything in the patch so you end up having to go back to the newb zone and farm copper and pine which is just as much a waste of the player's time as having real world timers.

And the even worse material refining timers weren't touched at all, so that's still a shitty slog as you wait around for the retarded 8-at-a-time queue to slowly tick down. If there was a mod that just gave you 999 stacks of every material, or even just made the cost of everything 1 unit instead of 5/10/20, I'd download it in a heartbeat. Even then you'd still have to stop for every fish and dig spot, since that's the most consistent source of gems, plus depending on build you probably need quite a bit of silver/birch for upgrades.

I picked this up during the free weekend. Graphics at 4K with everything maxed is just gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful game. Not far enough in for whatever tedium to set in.

There was a free weekend I think as well? and a 40% off sale.

40% off EA price($39.99), which will go up to $50+ at after 1.0 iirc, means its likely the cheapest now, it will be for quite some time.
$24 atm.

yeah, I bit at that, and picked it up the other day too.

"With just ONE last day for the ONLY 40% off sale before 1.0, bring in your friends to enjoy this beautiful game"
yeah, today is the last day for this as well.
