My thoughts from my time in the Alpha this weekend | Forums

Here are my thoughts:

First, the positives...I loved the graphics and music. The graphics were great and the game made it feel really important to be in the battlefield by having backgrounds and objects feel like they belonged in the setting and were not out of place. The warriors were done in incredible detail and looked wonderful. The animations were slick and seamless and nothing looked bulky. As for the music, I thought it was well done and I do hope there is more variation. The sound effects of the other NPC fighters and the clanging of weapons were a really nice touch.

Gameplay - overall, I enjoyed the gameplay. I thought after a little bit of time getting used to it, it really felt intuitive (controls-wise) and the duels are fun. I preferred the Dominion mode over the regular 1v1, 2v2 duels. I hope there are more levels than the three that were available.

Some issues - I had this same complaint from Rainbow Six. When you back out to the main menu, it has a tendency to kick friends from your group, so that is a little frustrating.

Another issue I had was that it seemed difficult to access a lot of 4v4 PVP stuff. I only got into one PVP game Friday and Saturday.

I would love to know how the story mode will work and the concept behind that...other than that you guys did a fantastic job and I hope I can join you for the Beta,

I already have this as a must-own for February!

Thanks and cheers,

Starsnskins!

I'd like to add that I thought all six characters were balanced and each had their positives and negatives. I honestly didn't think any were overpowering at all like others seem to think.

Thank you and sorry. Sorry for not posting on the alpha like a tester should. I really wanted to test the game properly, but do to just starting my new job this week/weekend and just had my daughter two months ago. I had little time to test and play at the same time. The time I had I played and wanted to post my feed back after it ended.
So thank you for the opportunity to test your/our game. I say our game because I will be buying it and want to help fix the bugs. I played the Beserker for the most part and found my self really happy and dieing for more. The two things I could say that I would like to see improvements on rolling. As a low defense character it needs to be able to move away or roll passed easier. If I tryed to roll forward it would not work and I'd rather have a roll backwards then a small back step. The side stepping was good for dodging but when you get surrounded as a Beserker you have now way to escape and survive. So rolling forward or back pass your enemy would make the 2-4 on 1 easier. The Raiders was the other hero I played and for the most part he was good just needed to learn how to use him more. The only tweak i would say is make him his attacks a little faster.
Now for the game play at the start I found my happiness and frustration levels were at an all time high. I was so happy to play and love where this game is going. But at the same time it was hard to play. Being kicked on and random moment. It was so bad i was it was if some in my zip code farted I would get kick. It mad it hard to play with friends if one got kick we all had to back out or we got kicked as well. If we started a new game 7-10 of the time for of us would be in the party lobby together until we went to start a match and 1-2 of us would be in the in-game-chat party but would be kicked or stuck in the loading screen. But as the weekend continued it happed less and less. So I was even more happy to see you guys work as we played. I am happy with Ubi for once. I love this game it has what. I been wanting on a game like this. I want to try the other 6 heros. Can't wait for the Valkyrie! As of now the Beserker, and Raider are my main heros and what to see if the Valkyrie will be one of my top 3. If so will she be my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
And again thanks for the opportunity to do what I love.
