The Game Is Terrible

[stardustandshadows]

- Overpriced Descendants
- Overpriced Upgrade Mats
- Repetitive EVERYTHING
- Midgame Boss Devourer stupidly strong for no apparent reason
- No amount of prepping will help
- Impossible to complete in a group, unless it's a group entirely comprised of Bunny because multiplayer scaling is insane
- Solo Devourer impossible unless Bunny even with prep
- Meta is Bunny, forcing players to play only one character for basically everything which is B O R I N G
- There is literally no point in having other Descendants if you're going to be forced to play only one particular character
- Energy Activator is too easy to use on things that you don't want to use it on, and is then irretrievable if you do
- This forces you to grind (which if you're stuck on Devourer is literally, actually impossible) or to buy energy activators, which are 50$ a pop -- again, ridiculously overpriced
- Game is laggy, despite having up to date graphics drivers and no other obvious computer issues
- Collision with other players during missions, but not in Albion, thereby allowing people to troll you or get in your way when you're trying to shoot things
- Repetitive, soul-crushingly boring grinding to get literally anything that you need to progress
- Mechanics don't matter, especially if you're playing Bunny
- No trading; supposedly it's being "worked on" but this should have been a basic Day 1 feature
- Nexon has literally set their players up for failure, thereby also setting the game up for failure.

yeah. a bit drastic but u are right. Game is fun beacuse of novelty. will be dead within a month. Warframe is better in every way.

[ppOverheater]

True, Overtuned Intercepts, 90% of them are impossible with Pugs, no idea what Nexon is thinking about, game will die easy quick.

I mean you stuck at early game and expect to see everyone playing different character...how come?
Meanwhile Valby stunlock goes brr....Enzo with 3 Special Weapon goes brrr...Also Ajax the true void intercept PvP...

Bro is as negative as a modern era news anchor.... And full of lies.

[darkinpresser]

once you hit Hard Mode you can get way over 1000 of each type of Mat with very little effort so no need to worry about that

Did Devourer as Enzo Lvl40 / 53-54 gear solo and in a group only Money invested, 1 to buy Enzo because I liked the idea of the class and 2 the battlepass. The game gives you all the info you need to fight the boss, its weakness, it's strength and weapon damage type. If you can't do the Boss your not using its weakness against it which is electric and secondary would be fire, Toxic resist helps. Focus down each healing container 1 at a time when in a group. The Boss has the resists, the containers do not bring your rapid fire or your heavy hitters (shotguns do quick work of the containers.). If still struggling take a look at your modules on your weapons and on your toon. Weapons Atk Power then Crit then what of your choosing, Your toon Health and Defense first then spec into what you want your abilities to be resist doesn't matter as you can get it in gear slots which one or two of one single element stack against the bosses attack element is enough. The game gives you loadouts for your weapons and your toons modules I recommend using them.

It came without any alternatives to farm or pay yourselves the game pass or skins, while even korean slop games like Archeage or lineage 2, even Aion had in game paths to buy the cash shop currency with in game farmed currency to pay for your gamepass / sub and it wasn't as corpo predatory/ toxic and horrible as The First Descendant buiseness / economy mode is.

The price is absolutely also a huge nono for a lot of the items. The pricing is really insane, I think they have been waaay too greedy with the pricing of things and it will just destroy itself in the short term just based on price alone, this game is also quick to make you realize how much of a disaster grind it really is as it take you only a couple of days to get to the "oh nope, ♥♥♥♥ this, i'm out" phase before you even start to get tickled by the idea of spending anything. Wasn't the case for many other mmo of this style because the prices weren't as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane. This price design insanity alone, is going to cost a lot of money to this game.

-> A matter of how high your income and how much you want spend on games

- Repetitive EVERYTHING
-> A matter of how you define it. You always have zones, one "dungeon" and boss. But the mechanics and level designs are quiet different

- Midgame Boss Devourer stupidly strong for no apparent reason

- Impossible to complete in a group, unless it's a group entirely comprised of Bunny because multiplayer scaling is insane
- Solo Devourer impossible unless Bunny even with prep
-> Lol, maybe THAT is the reason why it is so "strong" for you. Bunny is not really strong, so having a whole group with Bunnies gets you less forward than a mixed group.

- Meta is Bunny, forcing players to play only one character for basically everything which is B O R I N G
-> No, people who think Bunny is stronger than others just do not know how to master more complex classes than just spamming AoE and run around.

- There is literally no point in having other Descendants if you're going to be forced to play only one particular character
-> See above, you just really did not know how to master the others.

- Energy Activator is too easy to use on things that you don't want to use it on, and is then irretrievable if you do
- This forces you to grind (which if you're stuck on Devourer is literally, actually impossible) or to buy energy activators, which are 50$ a pop -- again, ridiculously overpriced
-> Guess the game is just too much work for you.

- Game is laggy, despite having up to date graphics drivers and no other obvious computer issues
->Cannot confirm. Working fine even with only a 4070.

- Collision with other players during missions, but not in Albion, thereby allowing people to troll you or get in your way when you're trying to shoot things
-> You can jump, use grapple hook, evade... I highly doubt someone can troll you effective with blocking.

- Repetitive, soul-crushingly boring grinding to get literally anything that you need to progress
-> See above, just too much work for you.

- Mechanics don't matter, especially if you're playing Bunny
-> Then do not play Bunny. As written above, Bunny is easy and other classes are just harder to master, that is why many think she is OP.

- No trading; supposedly it's being "worked on" but this should have been a basic Day 1 feature
-> If you activate trading with currency you can buy, people could actually buy anything with money. Btw. I heard there will be trading, just would make no sense with stuff which is in shop.

- Nexon has literally set their players up for failure, thereby also setting the game up for failure.
-> The last line disqualifies for any logical answer.

This: but the only thing i'd add is that I already notice this with Dead Bride, and am just stuck because the amount you have to prepare is so extreme, and the mats to optimize your build have very low drop rates.. But I don't have problams with performance, and the story and gameplay isn't half bad, but the crafting system and resource gathering is just just extremely "ponzi-scheme"-y.

Uninstalled until they remove the bloody timers from interception fights, that's an affront. You're not even allowed to take your time to do a boss fight. It's insulting.

[PortalShifter]

Yeah it's actually pretty shocking how bad the video games industry is right now.

Step 1- Make a game as cheaply as possible. Make it "free to play".

Step 2- Set microtransactions at $60. Intentionally design the entire game around making everything time-consuming and awkward RNG drops to collect so that you can push people to the cash shop.

Step 3- Profit from stupid people.

[kalindiprana]

if you can play at all. constant 4003 disconnect from server making it impossible even to do the beginning missions. but from what im seeing unless you want to spend a thousand dollars for a game thats simply "novel" any money spent will leave you on empty servers and discontinued updates.

Oh, i realized all i've said before even reaching max descendant level, i guess this game is just as much as a "light your money on fire" as lost ark or any other ♥♥♥♥♥♥ koreanslop mmo out there, a game that will be quickly forgotten in 1 year or less time, just like Lost Ark, Aion, Archeage got pretty much forgotten in like 2 years, but newer koreanslop titles are extremely shallow now and with incredibly soulless design with over the top pricing that makes anyone suspicious way too fast for the well being of the game itself and self destruct in the short term.

It's rare to see a game so bad players already give it the middle finger without paying the 60 to 100 usd per character, but looks like there is a limit to what people aren't willing to spend and how fast you thought you could scam them.
