General Feedback

Hey, all! Really enjoying the game so far. Only have a little bit of time in it, but I thought I'd drop a few general points of criticism on the off chance the devs might be seeking some. Most of these have been posted already, I'm sure.

- I'd definitely like it if we could press Esc to close out menu windows in-game, rather than having to click the button again.

- To that end, would love to be able to rebind keys. Using Ctrl for everything can be awkward at times. EDIT: Just saw the new patch notes. Eager to give the new keybindings a try!

- Party system could use a look. Right now, it doesn't seem like there's any real benefit to getting together with friends. We don't share XP or gold (last hit rules still apply), and it's hard to find them without a map or any real way to track location (that I could find, maybe it comes later).

- More social tools would be great!

- Last hitting mobs. I got EQ flashbacks here! This might be working as intended, but I generally don't care for being able to steal mobs by last hitting. Would prefer the first hitter getting the XP and loot.

- Crafting. I was having some trouble navigating it in general, even in the tutorial. Would also like to be able to stack reagents.

- Lots of the quests could use a spelling/grammar pass. Haven't seen anything to crazy so far, just lots of little things. The smithing station in the tutorial is spelled, "Smithing Staion," for instance.

- Quest tracking. Occasionally, a quest isn't removed from the log, even after it's completed, so it's kinda just sitting in there. I'd also like to see quest progress tracked in the HUD rather than exclusively in chat updates.

- I'd like it if quest givers had different turn-in dialogue, rather than just repeating the same lines.

- Having a slot specifically for secondary weapons (for easy swapping) would be neat-o.

That's all I can think of so far! Good luck with its continued development!

Edit (4/4): Another couple of points here:

- The talents window is a little unclear concerning where you can put points, and when. It would be nice if it was more explicit where you can put talent points. I was clicking around until a point was actually placed.

- Some of the tomes don't sufficiently explain the spells they grant. For instance, the tome for Healing Wind has the description: "Grants the spell: Healing Wind." Since that tome is sitting next to First Aid, I was scratching my head trying to figure out the difference between the two.

Hmm, you definitely should be getting shared XP in a party. Every time I party with another person, we split the XP 50/50 (you'll see XP float over your head every single kill they do). Loot isn't shared though, yeah.

Interesting! I'll have to give it another try soon, then. At least when my friend and I were trying it the other night, we weren't seeing any XP being shared. I was getting everything (presumably because I was the leader), regardless of who was last/first hitting the mob.
