Tech Alpha Founder player here.
This game had so much potential. I remember when it was first announced, the very day the founder edition went on sale I bought into it (150 Canadian) I got all of my friends into it, had about 12 of us playing it and having a great time.
Game released, and even from day1 1.0 there was problems..
The super special never able to buy in the future Founders armor? Turned out to be the super ugly basic looking Steel armor that everybody was able to craft in 2 minutes, but they stuck an emblem on it.
When called out they called Us, the players, wrong and refused to admit that what they had done was incredibly lazy. Said we were ungrateful and should be happy to get this garbage looking item that nobody would be able to get again later on. Not a single person I saw on the game release even equipped it because of how ugly it was.

So, immediately from day 1 there was issues between the players that had faith in the game and the dev team.
But at least the game was fun, and did what it was promised to be, a monster hunter clone with the same game loop. As time went on however, the game just got worse, and worse, and worse. The first maybe...2 updates? Were good, but every single update past that made the games UI uglier and uglier. It used to look smooth and had a great looking UI, but it just kept getting terrible update after terrible update and it started to look like an Ubisoft game made for Mobile players.

Now years later, this game is in the absolute worst state I have ever seen it. Good riddance, this is a garbage game, and the devs should be utterly ashamed of themselves for what they allowed this to turn into. You guys deserve this overwhelmingly negative review.
Please for the love of god, never make another game, nothing you guys produce based on what happened to this game will be good. Find a new career path.

Game devs beware, if your goal is to make a joke of a game that nobody will respect or like a few years post release, use this stinking heap as your example.
