Worse than the Alpha.

[Cthulhu]

I've so far spent about 1 hour in the game nd I've come to the conclusion that the Beta, which is supposed to be feature complete, is worse than the old Alpha in many ways.

There is no sense of progression, killing enemies doesn't really matter since they all just drop 2 gold for the most part. Didn't get a single hint for an Artifact from two towns, only hints to dungeons/areas with enemies waaay to hard for me to fight. Stumbled upon a Circle of Power or something like that but it was guarded by a enemy with 3606 health so no way I cold even dent. And gear drops was quite rare, only got about 5 items in total from killing weak animals, 4 of those items wasn't even for my class and one was a Wand with 0.5 more damage.

Crafting is pointless since you can't actually craft anything worth while, also in that 1 hour I didn't find a single cobweb to harvest to actually be able to craft.

Most of the enemies had 400+ Health vs. my 160, could 1-2 shot me while I had to build up a Combo of 20+ to be able to even damage them. I spent about 5 or so mintues to kill a Ogre with 700 something health and he dropped 2 gold, the same amount that a Crow with 146 health dropped so there was no incentive to actually try and kill the harder enemies just kill the animals that I found that had low health.

Combat is a stepback with only 2 attacks and an ultimate with long cooldown. The combo system is as annyoing as it was in the Alpha, actually worse now when you can't face tank a few hits to keep it up. And it dropping can mean that you do ZERO damage to an enemy untill you build it up again. Also there is a huge differance between weapons in terms of damage, Wands for Mages build Combo and deal damage faster than both Staff and Circlets.

The biomes being smaller wasn't noticed since you still have to travel through endless open spaces with nothing interesting to see or due, more so with the removal of a leveling system since now there is pretty much no reason to kill enemies on the way. Having to find and activate respawn points is a big chore aswell when you get be one shot by so many enemies.

so far yes.

Funny thing is I spent an hour trying to find a town thinking thats where I would get the rest of my skills... in that time I found epics for all my slots then the game got crazy boring...
Also I found out that you now have less skills than the alpha

I tried it out and was quickly frustrated by the difficulty and lack of balance and progression as well.

It's like the world is all there but all of the underlying systems that make up gameplay are mere placeholders for what one would expect in a game like this.

I understand that this is merely a Beta but I feel kind of adrift especially since there isn't a roadmap or even a statement as to where Wollay wants to take this game in the future.
