All the negativity on this game's page....

[Sjazzmean]

I've personally been playing this for almost a week now. And I absolutely love it! As a GoT fan, it's like seratonin to me, haha. Each their own opinion, sure; but I don't understand some of the hate it gets already in early access.
I've noticed a lot of the negative reviews and posts are people complaining about it being too much like a "mobile game", but it was stated right from the beginning that this was a mobile RPG? So judging it for being that, seems a little misplaced and unfair to me. And it makes be sad to see that people who have barely been playing post so much negativity on this page, and be so loud about wanting others to boycott and what not. Don't like it or the gamestyle, why play it? Leave a constructive review with what you don't like for the creators, and leave it at that. Why try to ruin it for us who love it and want it to do well? If you want nothing to do with games build for mobile/tablet use, perhaps it isn't for you, and no one is forced to download it; THAT SAID, I don't see it. It's more like a PS3 game to me, and so far I haven't been asked to use ANY real life currency in game, not at ANY point. It's an OPTION, like it's also an option in games like Elder Scrolls Online - but that's about it so far. I can't speak for endgame though (and if energy/currency becomes an issue for me then), but I'm taking it easy. Only level 15. There's so much content, so I haven't been bored at any point, which I easily get in games. I do wish it could be played on console, and that you could more freely choose which house/characters to ally with (I would love to be able to ally with the Lannisters, haha, yeah I'm unpopular.. I know). But can't have it all. I really hope for updates and/or DLCs in the future! Very excited and so much potential. I personally will be glad to support it, and I hope it will do well. Would be really really sad to see this one go or fail.

I'm enjoying it too, lots of content after I got a better grasp on the various currencies and menus and all that. As I understand it, once the soon-pending full release comes, even more map area and content will open up.

They could do a better job of explaining/tutorializing the home estate workings especiall when it comes to the expeditions and trading, etc. (like hiring workers at the barmaid, etc.)

On the trading bit, I still don't know what I'm going to do with any of these exotic mats I'm trading for. Is there some awesome crafting bit or potion or something all these mats will go into or is it just about the procurement itself, with no end-goal for that which is obtained? Haven't figured that out yet.

True. I just hope it won't affect future development of the game, and the game's community. That's all. I would hate to see it close down as I've seen happen to some other games, or not get further updates.

Right, I'm still not sure about the trading and production either. I also have a couple of things in my inventory that I have no idea what to do with, but still seems too valueable to get rid of. Hopefully they will add to it, or explain it better once the official release happens. So far I'm just trying to learn as I go, since there really isn't many tips online yet (due to how new the game is).

People who hates the game are the same for every F2P. They want a full game without limit for rush the game and change to other F2P etc. The same don't want give any cents for a game and thanks developers for their works. Nobody care of their opinions, they don't participate of survival of a game.

if the game wasnt littered with dark patterns it might be alright
there is a subscription
there is a p2w cash shop
there is a battle pass
there is a premium battle pass +
there is an energy system

i sure can understand why people chose to give it some well deserved flak. other devs afford to eat too but dont go down the way of using dark patterns to frustrate player into paying

see PoE for example. now imagine a GoT made thisway, absolute badass.
but instead we got this watered down mobile monetized version of it.

i hope they atleast revisist the enrgy system.

Apart from energy system (mobile game); I don't see how that payment system is different than some of the big and popular games like expl. Elder Scrolls Online, and ESO isn't even free (like this game will be).
Sure, it would be nice if everything could be obtained and earned in game for free, but you can still play and progress without buying any of the real money stuff. And for a free game this big, I'd say it isn't too unreasonable that you can use real currency in game. Personally I'd gladly support this game with my money, as long as they don't do a sudden close down or stop developing it (which is my concern).

eso only has a sub. no p2w cashshop.
can't buy items or gacha for characterpower.

>you can still play and progress without buying any of the real money stuff
is slightly missleading. the first 8hours are fine, but when you need to grind momentum thats where it all comes together. cant do MSQ cause need more momentum, grind is hindered by RP. but cashshop comes to resque... for a price. or you wait a day for rp refill. but i dont want to wait. i wanna play a game for hours at a time.

eso has none of that. buy once. thats it. can experience all of the basegame. sub gives access to all previous dlcs. or you buy the dlcs. then you dont need the sub. dont even need to grind for the story. its just there all accessible 'n shiny.

if kingsroad would be like eso i'd be overjoyed and buy the 90€ version in a heartbeat

ESO got the crownstore, crown items and ESO+ sub. As well as payment for every DLC and the main game, and if you don't have those; then payment for the different classes, dungeons, areas and so on too.

I've been playing Kingsroad for 60 hours, and still haven't been made to pay with real cash. I'm not rushing anything. Can't speak for endgame though, it's only early access though. Each their own gamestyle. We know what we sign up to, and can choose to join or not.

i hope they remove it alltogether. i think i could do with all the other monetizations but limit the time the game is rewarding? then why play at all when you can rush through RP in less than an hour

i realy wanna love this game but beign made to rush through the daily RP allowance in less than an hour is a huge turn off since im no stranger to gaming upwards of 8h/day.

and i realy dont see myself, like many others, start up the game for it to be essentially over for the day in less than an hour cause RP is empty.

All your time to cry but if they remove the energy system but not the rest, you want to play, strangely your dark patterns spam is not a problem anymore.

Why ? Because like I said since the beginning, you don't work and want to play 8h/day and rush the game and want everything for 0 cents, waiting for another F2P.

Oh and you prove you don't know what your talking about ESO. For the complete game you have to buy Season Pass ( ex extension ) + Sub + Raids. And some items special ESO+.

Don't change my poor guy, your my funny time !

yes, where can i spend crowns to top up energy?
how can i buy the non existing battlepass?
what dungeon am i unable to get loot from because my rewardpoints are empty?
where can i buy gacha accessoire boxes?

its all skins

over its lifetime it released dlc and new features. and its monetization is not predatory apart from the sub if you will.


if kingsroad only had a sub, that'd be great

you got more of them lies:)?

It's that your proofs you can access all content with only extensions or sub ? 😂.

OK I help you with the reality :

If you buy all extensions you have access to new quests/classes. You have to buy raids.
If you buy sub, you have access to raids with some not included, all previous extensions but not the current.

Then if you want all content you have to buy extensions + Sub + Raids.

But yes I know, with 8h/day playing, your brain is a bit asleep .

and yet again you bring nothing to the table, know nothing you talk about, keep telling lies, but sister, thanks for acknowledging the dark patterns used.
i hope one day you've gotten over yourself and the wall of insults - able to see the person you realy are and are deserving of games that dont bleed your wallet dry
