Anybody else fiending for the next play test / release?

[Fonz]

This game has hit a spot that no other game has been able to hit in the past while. It reminds me of the 2018 Fortnite era where I was excited to hop on with friends and just grind the game. With most AAA titles (in my opinion) becoming stale and releasing subpar games / updates it feels extremely refreshing to have this game seemingly working towards becoming an amazing game. The development team has been doing great while providing us with these little play tests, and every time they have ended it leaves me looking towards the next one.

Friends and I were on this game every single day for numerous hours and it really provided that "escape from reality" feeling while getting lost and sinking time into it.

Cannot wait to see what new features, mobs, maps and additions the dev team makes.
I know balances aren't on their top priority list, but that doesn't even bother me as they seem more concerned in bringing the game together before balancing. It kind of makes sense as there is potentially less work in balancing once the game is closer to a final product, rather than multiple times as it progresses. Can't wait to see how the skill tree and future character upgrades work as that is exciting.

I am hopefully for this title to be an amazing product. I hope they do well and don't listen to the minority of cry babies that are complaining about the most random stuff. I love the PvP, even though it needs work and balancing but that is okay. I love the PvE, even though mobs need to become smarter and less easy to cheese but that is also okay.

Some opinions I do have would be a bit more players on the map, maybe not many but I don't think a couple would hurt. I think the loot for some classes needs to have less of a gap between the lowest and highest rating, not much but currently low gear is way noticeable even against low tier mobs. I get that it's supposed to be like that to earn your way up and become stronger but it's a long stretch right now from even just gray to white to green. I hope mobs do get better, as it was way to easy to figure out how to cheese them, obviously this is a plan but it's something I hope for nonetheless.

Much love dev team, can't wait to crush it again in the near future! <3

Again, screw the whiny people saying they don't like PvP and are crying about only wanting PvE. Get better at the game or don't play it, idk. Also screw the people crying about needing a solo mode to have fun, again... get better or don't play.

Game has massive upside, just let the devs do their thing and be happy we are even close to having this game. I wouldn't be opposed to paying $10-$20 to getting this game as a full release early access alpha to play the current build while they make updates every so often. pls, I'm addicted.

I'm literally counting the days for next playtest.... it is agonizing.

Yes. Every day I have been looking at the Steam sales and what not, seeing what else I can play, but I have played nothing since haha. For me, as a working Dad who likes PvP and challenging games, this is perfect, I could drop into a match so quickly and see it done in 10 minutes. If I had a couple of hours I could fit plenty of matches in and I feel like it really respected my time as a potential customer. ( reality is I am 100% a customer lol )

l I had an absolute blast playing Solo during the playtest, Im gonna try find some competent teammates for the next playtest to see how I like being in a team, but I have always liked being the underdog and the audio in this game makes it great for not having voice comms clutter the audio, the amount of players and teams I got the drop on because I listened when they didn't was endless. I played mostly Fighter/Rogue/Ranger and started Barbarian before playtest ended, which I was doing fairly good with and having a bunch of fun smashing through doors and putting the fear into duos especially lol.

Not really. They half suggested the next test likely wouldnt have any of the progression stuff Im really interested in.

I mean Ill play it just to test the changes and maybe find a bug. But IMO there just isn't enough content currently to play it no life style.

Not without burning myself out on it before the stuff Im actually looking forward to gets implemented anyway.

Love to hear it, honestly forgot to mention that but it is one of my favorite things so far. Instant queue to game time. Getting in a lobby then into a match is such a smooth and quick transition it makes it so easy to get games in (and lose track of time).
