The game is okay, i'm not through coil so i cant speak for that as I am far more casual. Raiding is pretty easy if your group does not have downs..its just basic mechanics that go over and over in the same rotations.. nothing new.
I like the take on crafting in this game, i think its very well done and something different from other mmorpg's
Multiclassing is fine but you can only take so many skills from other classes.... its not really that impressive although some skills are key
The storyline is fine.. but pretty quick.. honestly it does not take long at all to lvl to 50 following with the storyline (then again i was a tank so everything was instant Q)
Fate farming is a pretty sad excuse they have to lvl your new class's as you have already complete the story and most of the quests in the game.. all you do is mass as a group sit in town and run fate to fate , very mindless and very boring.

There is no pvp in the game yet, although i have a feeling it will be terrible. The 2.5 GCD in this game makes it the perfect game for those who are mentally challenged. Yes there is skill speed and yes there is spell speed but still the GCD IS HUGE and (only my opinion) pretty much ruins the game for me. It is just so slow, some classes have some 0GCD skills but its not enough to make up for the slowness of combat.

You will also find some people to be just terrible at dodging red circles or getting to a LOS position. You would think its easy for people to comprehend that red is bad.. but this seems to be far to difficult for most people.. not being elitist in anyway.. its just really sad sometimes. I always try to be nice and say hey we will get it next time.. but after a while you just have to rant for a second (sorry).

Overall the game for 30 dollars is worth picking up , you can decide if you like it within that first month, as a casual player i hit 50 in no time within the month and got a pretty decent set of gear farming AK over and over. If you can warrant the 30 bucks pick it up you might not find the GCD to be as big of an issue as I do and you might really like the game.

u said it, got decent gear farming ak over n over, did you beat titan? probably not, if you did, you probably bought the run, and like you said your not in coils. The people you talkin about not being able to dodge red circles, im sure you wont be able to beat turn 1 in coils.

Clearly you cant read much, i said what ruined the game for me is how slow it is and the long GCD, thats what destroys the game. I can only PVE in games for so long as i find it very boring. PVP is what keeps me going and then side PVE. I believe the combat will be far to slow for PVP

yeah, there isn't a hell of a lot of movement considering almost all player attacks are auto hit or underpowered vs single target.

it would be cool if melee people had some sort of charge attack, its because of this i personally see bards doing well in pvp. (i have next to no MMO experiance, i'm simply basing this off rangers can pull ranged attacks while moving with no downside). Other than that, Warriors seem to be the ones to go to (can reach almost 2/3 the dps of stand alone dps and take 3x the beating with self heals)
