As Battle of the immortals Close Beta draws to a close I would like to make a few notes on BOI
First off I know players are having problems with the camera angle but you can reset it so it does scroll out more but even then I find myself trying to roll around the screen 360.
2nd Game Play
It is not all that hard to use interface is easy to understand, quest are not all that hard to follow and leveling is easy till you get to 60 but they has been a lot of input as to how hard it is past 60 and they are looking in to that hoping more high level quest with better exp.
3rd Information
remember there is not much information on the game because the game has only been out for a few weeks. Nothing has really been started on it as far as what is where , which to me makes it better in some ways because no ganking or farming as of yet
4th NO KILL STEALING
You can not kill steal in the game and as for Boss in the dungeons you are not competing with others in there for drops just you and your party no others
5th Upgrading
Nice thing is everything is upgradable from armor, pets, mount, weapon and alot of the upgrade stuff can be bought with out spending real cash
6th Salary and Coin
Another thing is the salary and coin you get paid for playing and there is an item mall in game to buy everything from pots, buffs, upgrades, costume (if you like those things) heals for you pet as well as other items as well as credit and bonus item mall and Yes ZEN(real cash) market
Credit it is not all that hard to get and there is a NPC vendor that sells armor and pots and they are not over priced
7th Guild
One of the nice thing is a daily event you can do for your guild and can benefit everyone
8th Armor Pets and Mounts
It is an nice setup for pets and mounts. pets can be caught with ease and mounts are not over priced for the elite mounts and as I have seen a possible chance to get rare mount as well, Armor can be quested for as well as drops and bought. Over all the system is well done as for now.
9th Draw back
Yes again camera but we will find problems in all games like this. Armors repair is a little high and a few have posted about that, it is being looked into. chat can be better as a few other things one problem i can see could be a plus or minus is events if you have a large amount of well skilled people it can work great but if you have to join those whom you don't know it can fall apart quickly
In closing over all BOI has a good start just a few bugs like the “rubber-band” in movement and little video graininess no 360 camera view point (that I don't know if it can be changed in the matrix of the system) the input of WSAD has mixed views as well I myself can take it or leave it. Item mall as for now is reasonable but we will see compared to the cost of ZEN hoping they will see that lower prices means more spending over the long term. Leveling over all is productive and hoping that above level 60 will change in some aspects to make it productive as well. As for now I will keep playing BOI and see were it will lead. I have enjoyed my time in the Closed beta and find many things to do all the time and would say give BOI a look if you haven't.

pro-tip: GUI is not "gameplay", nothing you have mentioned in this post has anything to do with gameplay.
the battle style is a bit odd . you can make the game what you want . you want it to be a grinder then its a grinder. want a questing game than thats what it is .
there are very fem mandatory quests . all the rest are just there . i started cbt a week late and found it very ez to hit lvl 70 befor the end tho i never did hit the grind .
the daily events allown pay out the exp needed for 1-2 lvls per day at 60+ . tho in ob partys may or may not be as ez to find .
the fighting is point on target with auto attack after 1st set. tho for most classes the base att of the auto doesnt have the power needed to win. skills all have differant cool down times , making the player watch his skill line up to max the dam out put per click
the biggest fault for the game play system in place is the chat box . its large stuck in place and forever scrolling with system messages that are in the way of your veiw and there for a part of game play in its self to be mastered . there is no way to turn off system messages with out a 3rd party prog that is being shown in forums that as yet no person of power has commented on. use at your own risk.
in the last 2 days a auto tab was put in place ingame . tho the tab key works you will still have need to point and click to get the target you need in instances where there are many monsters on your screen at one time . as the auto tab does not in any way set up your next attack by threat lvl of monsters closest to you.
most important the game is pve based . there is a pvp opption in the game tho it is 2ndary at best . beings the pvp is 2ndary there are many opptions in the game that can upset the ballance of the pvp. but like i said this is a pve game and the pvp factor is very very small
if you are a pure solo player or a die hard pvp player this game isnt for you . the look and feel of the game in the first few hours turned me off. after the 2nd day i got the feel for it and tho i still dont love it found i can have fun with it.
im not one to voice a opinion of a game ive not given atleast 3 day of testing to . i myself find it fun , could it be better , yes ive yet to see a game that couldnt.
if i didnt answer all the questions you may have had on game play please post direct questions and i will try to come back and reply soon
