Played off/on about 7 hours yesterday. I'm STILL not out of the noob zone and by that I mean 1-10. What the hell is wrong with this game, lol?
Even when you ding a level, that takes like.. a full minute for the game to tell you everything you leveled up and all the points you got in super-slow mo, dramatic movie scroll, lol. I dinged and had already started running away to do something else and "Oh.. you got a skillpoint." Cool. Stop fix it. Run. "Hey, don't forget this other thing too." Stop. Fix that. Run. "and this too..". 50 levels of that to look forward to.
Started AD, picked sorcerer. Freed from jail.. no staff. Figure I missed something so I ran around the entire area again looking for a staff. Finally gave up on that and took the sword figuring I'd find a staff later on.
I did.. five levels, three claymores, two bows, and four swords later. Not kidding. When mentioning that in the /zone got fanboy replies "Why didn't you just go craft/buy one?" Nice. I mean if that'ssupposedto be a feature (not equipping people with their main class items to start the game), let a brother know upfront. This Escape from New York shit wasn't a nice surprise, just a huge time waster.
Bugged Cowering Melandra or whatever her name is main quest at the shrine, bugged Panthro-spy guy main quest at Kel Island (three times), numerous smaller bug quests all about. Are they SURE they want to launch this in about 20 days? Level 7 now.
Wasn't all bad and there's a lot of stuff I'm impressed with (music, scenery, lighting) so I'm going back to attempt to get out of there in a bit. Can't get worse or slower than it is now.
