is it a mmorpg? without instancing?

[Lucius Caesar]

its an open world MMORPG, with PvE and faction based open world PvP. It is instanced which is necessary for matchmaking, as a person with end game gear would be practically invincible vs a guy with newbie gear. you'll still run into friendly and unfriendly random players while exploring. Also there are single player instances for quests and PvP session battles. Apparently at some point PvE coop dungeons existed and will be brought back one day but they don't exist right now.


As for what the game is about? its got a storyline that is necessary to complete to move on to the end game content, and its pretty fun with some stand out missions (but also some BS bosses). When not doing the story you'll usually be clearing out mutant dens and NPC outposts to farm barter materials which you use to trade in for better guns and armor. Once you get further in the game there will be more barter materials and more ways to get them (such as using a metal detector, or open world PvP outposts)

how can i be open world if all is instanced?

Just study the game stalker. So, this is an online version based on minecraft. You can kill and take things from other players, look for artifacts in anomalies, earn money on pieces of mutants and so on. You grind resources on updated activities in the open world, then exchange resources for more powerful equipment, plus there are a sufficient number of quests

Certain quests will put you in an instance alone, but 99% of the time you will be in open world zones
each server can hold 30 people so multiple servers of the same zone will open when more people are in the same place
there are 2 starting opposing factions, end game there are 4
weapons and armor you craft will never drop, only crafting materials and vendor trash will drop on death.
open world mmo rpg fps pvp
fun but punishing. being mmo some of the fights will be imbalanced, but it goes both ways, sometimes you will outgear and fight people, sometimes they will
late game you will get punishment until you catch up to actual endgame master and upgraded gear and artifacts
good long term time sink game if you enjoy dropping hundreds to thousands of hours in games

This game is fun until you get veteran gear (about 20 hours gameplay), after that it's all about you getting f*cked by players with twice your HP and three times your DPS with fully upgraded master gear.

Want to be able to kill them ? Either pay and get lucky from totally random lootbox, grind for years, or both :)

Not only the matchmaking is broken but even if you somehow manage to kill these players with ten times your playtime, you will get nothing.
Unlike games like Rust where you lose all your equipment, dying here only makes you lose your inventory.
Meaning that the attacker just goes out with ammo and medkits (worth nothing), kills you by surprise after you've been farming for a hour while you are fighting AI and steals everything with absolutely no risk taken.

Also balance sucks, only assault rifles are viable basically.
Some weapons are totally unplayable and for some reason you still have spread on shotguns when ADS with slugs.

I uninstalled.
