Why does it look like the characters are in a running animation but somehow at the same time look like they are slowly moving through quicksand? If movement is going to be that slow, I'm out.
Plus, open world PVP? Meh, no thanks....
Their stated PVP mechanics are a bit confusing. On one hand they have a flagging system to opt in / out but also a karma system as well, normally it is one or the other.
Also supposedly 100 developers in both the Ukraine and Amsterdam have been working on the game for over 5 years, yet we are just hearing about it now.
One of the better kept secrets in gaming if true, I remain wary and skeptical at this point, especially as the business model remains undefined.
The stench of early access or crowdfunding is strong with this one.

What they show looks polished for an indie dev team. They've got to speed up that walking animation though. That sticks out like a sore thumb.

Game looks super interesting. I hope they bring on a marketing or business consultant though. Selling open world ganking in the trailer(when the game looks like it is way more) is a quick way to kill you game as you get a vocal minority asking for things that literally kill games.
Open world "PvP," better known as ganking, where the no lifers/whales group up to attack lone n00bs, yeah, that;s a big pass for me. Some may get off on that, but I sure as heck don't.
Developed in the Ukraine? Over 100 developers? Come on guys. If it gets developed with private funds, OK. But the second they start asking for crowdfunding, please, please don't fall for it again.
I like the look of it, but I'm going to wait to see what we actually get before singing it's praises. This short video barely counts as information, I don't think we even have a release date.
Edit: found some more info, open beta in Q4 2020. So it's a ways off yet.

Indeed I love how no one in those articles I read today mentioned about Q4 2020 Open beta. They make it look like game is just around the corner.
