    I thought the same thing about the game being " easy " until I the level 25/30 dungeon ... I got my face smashed in multiple times haha. Also, the dungeons we're doing are on Easy / Normal .. I'm excited to see hell. As well as the 20 man raids, and the like extreme dungeons.

    ugh, I wanna go home and play now.

    PS - All mammals have nipples.

    Get over it already.

    The game is very good.

    My only complaint is small variety of classes , that are also gender locked (and one is cute child)

    But I guess that is what can be expected with Asian games

    Was tempted to try it, I just can't trust Trion anymore.

    *pokes* That's what my mom used to call "cutting off your nose to spite your face". :D Give it a go! You might be pleasantly surprised!

    A horrid loot system, and interminably slow leveling equates to a largely forgettable experience!

    I wrote 15 pages to my bank last time to get my money back after the bait and switch with ArcheAge. Maybe you should write and warn people about these things too as journalists!

    I have not seen any footage of this game but already know this site will score it a 7 (+ or - .8 of a point).

    You don't have to be a clairvoyant to know what score a (or for that matter "any") Trion game on this site will get.

    Game is actually pretty good from what i've played so far. I'm actually not really into diablo type games at all, but i've managed to keep a lot of interest in this one. My only complaint is that I've yet been able to PvP. Every time I sign up, the queue never pops. Even after an hour of waiting. I guess everyone is way past me in level.

    Pretty much the same trend i have seen,seems EVERY game is pretty darn good,hardly shows unbiased reviews.My prediction 8/10 sigh.

    Some can claim the game gets hard,it still wouldn't matter to me because it matters how the game is presented.It is mindless aoe spam type combat,it is a Diablo clone weather people want to admit it or not.It is EASY for any developer to just turn up the numbers and make a fight hard,a GOOD developer or a good game will make combat tougher via mechanics and thought and abilities,decisions.

    I am not into 360 spinning aoe attacks,to me it looks very silly.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I don't really see the gripe with 'clones'. You can easily equate these to other genres and then question your argument. Is WoW a clone of EQ? League of Legends & Dota? Just about any FPS. They're all very similar, yet anyone can argue that either one of them is fun. (i.e. I don't like Diablo, but I find this game fun.) Disagree if you want, but chances are you've probably played a 'clone' yourself, and enjoyed it.

    Course it'll get a good score. Got to keep those constant Trion giveaways coming.

    I dont see how its worth keeping this game alive if the original devs have closed doors, so who will provide them with updates?

    Wait til you get to upper floors of Abyssal Tower - brutal.



    But the 20 man raids are insanely hard, even geard to the teeth guild in TeamSpeak wipe frequently.


    That has me overly excited. Why won't this work day end.

    If Devilian was a browser game, I'd give it a 7/10. Decent, but not worth playing unless you have nothing else to do with your life. But it's not a browser game, it's trash.

    Ehm Bluehole is very much alive, the only thing that happend is a publisher switching their priorities so Bluehole cancelled their contract witht them.

    Bluehole works on this game and TERA.

    One of my biggest complaints on my class (Shadowhunter) is the roll action is on a cooldown. I guess that's the same though for some other ARPGs I've played like Marvel Heroes.

    Tell that to all the people that stupidly laid down $150 for early access, only for Trion to open it up just a short time later for far less.

    Trion are just the service providers, they didn't develop the game. However for what the game is I think the packs are expensive but will give the game a go as a free player.

    @ Burntvet how people spend their money is none of Trion's business. They put a product out there and if people spend money great, if they don't great. Obviously they want you to, but no one is forcing it.

    As for this game I have found it pretty fun. The people complaining about leveling need to get a grip imo. It is some of the quickest leveling I have seen. I played for 2 days and am level 52. Ran the abyssal tower, some dungeons, and some quests and bam I was there before I knew it. I don't know what the end-game entails but it seems like there is a fair amount to do, so we will see. Also any other ARPG game out there is "too easy" as far as mob killing and leveling goes until there is some way to increase the difficulty. I have played older ARPGS's as well as D3 and POE and they are all what I would consider easy, but actually take longer to level in.

    But it is not Trion shilling this game here, it is the people running this site. This site had several articles here pushing founders' packs for $150 on Trion's behalf, who then turned around and opened up early access a short time later for far less.

    And Trion is a paid advertiser here.

    So, for the people of this site to offer posts praising this "nothing special" title to the skies,  gamers should know that they are paid out of advertising money, in part, paid by Trion, to offer such opinions.

    And then let "average gamers" buy or not.

    But they should know when they are hearing a "paid opinion" or not.

    So essentially mmorpg.com is a promoter and community hub for mmorpgs... and you are accusing them of promoting an mmorpg! The plot thickens!
