Issues as a brand new player:

[Ajita Songo]

First off, the game has a certain charm to it. So please understand that I want to play this, get into it more and see more of what it has to offer. On that note, please take note of my unpleasant experiences, as a level 1, brand new to the game:

"You are already busy"
Constantly getting "You are already busy" when searching rock piles. Often, this happens on a fresh login, because I have to do a full relog every single time I get this error message, in order to get rid of it.

Animation/Response Delay
It takes a full 2 seconds between the striking of a sword on a creature and the numerical attack # response from the server

UI is HUGE
Having the Skills window open takes-up almost half my screen (about 40%) - and I'm playing at 4k resolution! I haven't found any in-game UI scaling, which is very odd. Though, there simply aren't many options for anything, other than "some" of the most basic options (UI scaling not among them).
Will check the .ini file directly after this, to see what can be done there.

Yes, only a level 1. However, 3 mins into the game, I have encountered these things. Another 3-5 minutes and I've relogged a couple more times, due to the "You are already busy" glitch.

*Edit:

There is also a bad lag that starts once in a while. Counting typing this, I've been on the server about 10 minutes.

Also have been experiencing lag almost every time I loot a corpse. Only one time has there been no lag involved.

By the way, concerning lag, I'm in the US East region and can normally play fine on US West and Western EU servers, without any noticeable lag, in most games I've ever played.

*Edit2:

The walking/running is also strange. I don't mean the basic animation, I mean the very slow speed. The walking is almost 'granny with a cane/walker' slow. The running is ... more like speedwalking status, definitely not running. No, I don't think it should be super fast, or anything silly, but the speed it's at now, simply isn't a fun experience. Maybe even a 15% increase would do it, but it needs a bit more.

I would suggest starting at lower resolution, 4k is not properly supported. Sounds like you are having allot of lag. We haven't yet started the optimization yet as need certain amount of content in. See if lowering the resolution would help and check what your frame rate is. If you are still having problems please send us a message on our discord to look further into it.

FPS doesn't seem to be the issue; though I can tell it's not been optimized.
4k: 50-60's most of the time; with occasional, very brief spikes into the 80-90's
1440: 80-90's most of the time; with occasional, very brief spikes up to the 110's

Changing resolution didn't do a single thing to change my experience, other than an increase in fps, as expected.

Every single thing else I've mentioned above is still relevant to my experience.

"You are already busy" + known bug and did not happen allot before but with latest update it is happening more, we are busy looking into it.

Animation/Response Delay This could be linked to you network or ping you have. We have not yet encountered this and players range from USA to Europe. Could also be because we are still in pre-alpha thus have not finalized all animations.

UI is HUGE We are still in pre-alpha thus we have server stability more as priority. Being a 2 man team we have to set whats important to develop when. We do plan to have Ui scaling in the future.

If you have reaction lag it could be server side bugs which came into play with latest release. As we are busy fixing many bugs we can only find when players are in the game.

Yes, the animation/response delay is possibly from ping-related issues, namely distance to server/# of hops.
Not everyone in the US can access the same servers with the same ping response. There are variable such as location, quality of service (dependent upon how urban or rural the area in which one lives), etc.
I normally have ping (to Eastern EU servers), from most games I've played, that doesn't behoove playing a pvp game. This is, by the way, even during EA, why most companies have a bare minimum of 2 (yes, even tiny teams, because it's important) servers to begin with.
However, there are plenty of games. This one simply seemed interesting to me for a bit. I saw that it began in 2017 on Steam and thought it would have more of the basics ironed-out.
It's going to be a hard pass for me, but I wish you all well.

By the way, if you ever do get an NA East server up-and-running, please make a post about it.
