Conceptually, could be a good game. It's not ...nothing but a buggy mess, literally the most unstable game i've ever played. How they could still be selling this is blasphemy...I bought it as I ran from Dune, another abomination of a game. The combat is laughable, and like dune theres really no reason why you are doing anything and what you do is just repititous grinding that just scales. Build, fix til you can't rebuild. Rinse repeat. Thralls, like Dune's ornithopters are a good idea on paper, But they are just more time wasting, spend a lot of time training then a bug hits, or get kicked from server and bam thrall permanently dead.
One thing is true, funcom hates customers, with a passion.
This game as well as dune is programmed with pure hatred towards the user.
Awful. Just awful headache inducing game. Not a single aspect of this game works correctly.
One bug right on top of another. Build a house and quit, the developer does not want you playing
in this toilet bowl of a game.
