    I feel like you need to spend more time researching and playing the game before you offer an opinion to the masses. So let’s go through your issues: #1 you can get to level 30 before you have to invest heavily in leveling any weapons or skills. During that time you can try out any of the weapon combinations in the game. If you still don’t like the weapons you pick after hitting 50, you can level a 3rd weapon easily and not hinder your build much. Alternatively, if you focus only on story missions, you can level an alt in 6-7 hours to level 50…#2 there are only 3 times in the game where you will need to do side quests/codex entries to level up for the story. Again, even with this requirement you can hit 50 in 6-7 hours. #3 the game literally tells you that you will need the world leaves so that your Amatoi can passively heal you. They are cheap, they take up one inventory slot, just buy a few thousand and forget about it. #4 again, only takes 6-7 hours to reach level 50, not 100. Combat also becomes a lot better if you take the time to look through settings and go to the targeting section… this just shows laziness. You didn’t even take the time to explore settings and try to alter things to make combat better. #5 morph stamina only depletes while you are in combat (meaning a mob has agro on you). If you do not have agro on a mob, it does not deplete. You can run forever if you never draw agro from a mob. Again, laziness. #6 can’t argue with the grapple though, it does suck and fucks up a lot #7 you do not have to spend a single penny on anything in this game. I am entirely free to play and I have 15,000 lucent already. All you have to do is spend 6-7 hours to get to level 50 then farm high level content. Then you get sell things to the people who do want to pay. This is the worst take of all and I hate seeing people complain about pay to win. Just do some research and learn how to use the in-game systems to progress for free. Sure, the whales can spend money to get gear, but I am the one they are giving that money to. Then I take that money and use it to buy all the stuff I want…

      Thank you for taking the time to compile your thoughts! I do appreciate the feedback. I think your first point gets to a main trend of the video in that would I loved to have put extensive hours into the game before compiling my review. I understand there could have been more content that I enjoyed, but unfortunately my reality was that I didn't enjoy it enough to continue to that point which I did mention at the end of the video. I also wanted to touch on the last point you made about pay to win and me complaining about it. At no point did I talk about how broken the system was or that free to play players cannot have fun in the game. I simply stated that I prefer when games do not offer a payment system other than cosmetics which again, is just my opinion. I understand that some people like yourself really enjoy Throne and I am super glad that is the case. This video was just my experience and views on my time playing and I understand that others may not share the same opinion. Thanks again for compiling your thoughts, I really appreciate all the discussion and am always open to hearing all feedback and others thoughts!

    The ability of a single guild to control a server, changing day to night, and waging open pvp at world bosses, preventing new and leveling players from accessing content is what is killing this game and causing players to uninstall

    this is such a bad take on the game. all the negatives you mentioned like the combat system are adjustible in the settings. the pay to win factor is also reachable without paying. and lastly not being able to reach end game or lvl 50 is just because you dont know what mmo's used to be like. im lvl 35 within 10 hours of playing. in lineage 2 it took a me a year to reach lvl 52 and in aion and bdo it took me untill the next expantion (almost 6 months)

    I agree with most. Pay to win is what ultimately got me to uninstall that and how damn hard it is to try everything. And then switch. I started out longbow crossbow and then wanted to switch to longbow dagger. I had to look up a damn RUclips video to learn how to do it then found out I didn't have the necessary items. I uninstalled last night. Looking forward to new world Aeternum. Loved new world but it was released busted. If it is fixed with this new release it will become my MMORPG forever home.

      You may friend have no idea what you are talking about. This is completely false information. you dont go farming the traits you need to unlock them 1 by 1 and max your gear. You sell traits from gear you dont need in the AH to afford to buy the traits you need just like the Whales. They just can do it instantly when they swipe as for you it will take a week or two. It shows just how little time and effort you put in the game cuz obviously you didnt like it and just hop on the p2w hate wagon. This is one of the best "p2w" systems that's actually f2p friendly up to date.

    Agree with your review except on one thing: you mention the target system but then complain its hard to target... you should be using classic targeting then. Also, that system is there to help healers and ranged dps, the action system is for melee dps.
    The 2 biggest things i dislike in the game and ended up being the reasons i quit are: a) the difficulty of the dungeon bosses... its insane how hard and mechanic driven those bosses are!!! and b) the open-pvp in a world boss zone. As a concept, it makes no sense why they would make the choice to allow open-pvp without consequences, when a world boss spawns.

    • @Aidan_Plays_Games
      @Aidan_Plays_Games  3 месяца назад +1

      I agree with your dislikes. I felt the blocking registration was inconsistent in some of the dungeons which would result in an instant death from some of the bosses. I also found it annoying the open PvP especially when the zone was right where I was trying to quest. My point around classic targeting was more around losing track of which unit I was on in larger mobs. Even in classic, I would lose the triangle indicator when there were multiple enemies getting in my face.

    • @Malbabo
      @Malbabo 3 месяца назад

      ​@@Aidan_Plays_Games 1- the blocking system is awful
      2- the fact you cant go back to the fight if you die put an huge weight on the group when you PUG

      4- the cooldowns on healing skills
      Everything about the games dungeon system is awful. Oh and not to mention that not everyone in the group gets a drop item! Considering these dungeons are the end game, that made me quit.

    Fall damage is pissing me off, it seems like you take damage for the smallest falls. I damn near rage quit yesterday because i was trying to jump and glide as a bird and it kept turning to a wolf and falling to my death. I watched multiple other people having the same issue and it was absolutely infuriating to the point I had to walk away... FWIW it was in the desert area that you have to glide to the top of the tower to unlock the waystone, I was attempting to jump from the building with the dome on it.

    I don't understand the argument against switching class; in other mmos with traditional classes you can't switch classes at all. You're not punished for trying different weapons any more than you're "punished" in other mmos for creating multiple characters with different classes.
    the small heal using tree leaves is just to keep you in the action without relying on potions, skills and such. which also adds to the many small money sinks all mmos have. A permenant/free, all time heal (besides hp regen), obviously would've been wrong, so the fact that you need to pay for an item seems more reasonable; but at the same time it's not a heal that could save you from anything that you couldn't handle anyway.
    the mounts > morph i think is subjective, i personally like morphs and regarding the "cool mount", you're comparing plain morphs in this game with high tier mounts in other games.
    you could just as well say "i think turning into a wolf is cooler than having a plain horse as a mount", it's just about how creative the mounts/morphs are and subjective to the player.
    Also the stamina never seemed like a problem to me personally.
    about leveling; if there is anything no one complained about this game is that leveling is hard; i love the leveling journey in mmos and i hate rushing to max level, yet, as hard as i tried exploring and doing other sutff, i still leveled up easily. Too easily, if i might add.
    grapple, climbing/walking on hills or rocks is glitchy as hell and it often teleports me like rubberbanding. targetting messy as well, especially for controllers, but I am biased as i prefer action combat.
    to be clear, this game is far from ideal for me, but most of what you said definitely don't seem like issues.
