Feedback after finishing everything + the bear boss in open world
COMBAT :
Its very good in my opinion, once you unlock the traits, a lot of combos are available, some with harder conditions which is good, the difficulty will be there (i suppose). I've seen passive that can open synergies/reduce the cast time, take off the SP consumption. I believe the late game is gonna be insane. We dont even know what the gear can give us.
I've seen the sword of the mage with ranged abilities, throwing ice projectiles, an ability where you can dash in and jump out, very very good synergy with the mage.
Big potential on the combat system. Cant wait to see Crossbow as well and some others.

I would like to add that consumables are obviously a huge part of the combat, it does a lot of damage and can help you fulfill the conditions for your combos, which is very very good. I Just hope they can balance that, cause it looks too strong at the moment lol.

GRAPHICS :
Very beautiful, especially in the open world. The faces of characters could be more polished tho, some inequalities here and there but overall very beautiful.

UPGRADE/FARMING SYSTEM :
From what ive seen, the game has a lot of variety out of the combat, a lot of things you can farm/loot/craft but we didnt see enough to tell. The upgrade system looks very classic from what we've seen. We need to see more about it.

OPTIMIZATION :
This is the biggest issue on the game at the moment for me. Im on a 5070 TI playin in 4K. DLSS quality + everything in medium and i have around 52 FPS in openworld. In comparaison with Aion 2, i have 70 FPS with the same settings.
I wanna say that the game is stable tho, i dont have huge drops, which is pretty good. But we need a better general optimization. And i wont use frame generation on MMO cause its increasing the input. No problem on a solo game, but a big problem on MMO.

BUGS :
Ive seen few bugs, but the biggest are the one where you dont hit the ennemies. Of course i know they can dodge your attacks, But sometimes they dont move at all and dont take damage.

CONCLUSION :
A big surprise, i cant wait to play the full game. But i see already the influencers sponsored by Aion2 trashing the game. And people as usual dont even try to see what the game has to offer. I suggest you to play the marketing card as well, otherwise its gonna be hard for you to make this game work.

First try to drop DLSS to performance, when you do 4k output it is still 1440p base resolution at Quality. Lowering to Performance drops to 1080p which is still ok for upscaling.

If it is cpu bound however, not much you can do except lower cpu related settings.
Unfortunately, below quality, I can see a significant drop in graphic quality.
No in 4k, GPU does all the work, my CPU is around 50% and GPU 98%. But in everygame i dont have any problem except this one and the famous "wuchang" XD

In other games i can even play in DLAA. Or quality ultra. Here its quality mid and im on 5X FPS, this is not normal
