To be honest, as a scale of 1 to 10,
I would review the closed alpha 7/10.
Why?
To be honest, gameplay wised, I simply love it !
Assasins are super great, you don't know which one is meta, but that's how it should should be done.
Itemization is super great, since you can create a lot of builds independently of str/int or str & int
Everything is great.
BUT (There is always a but on a 7/10 rating.
My subjective opinion count as it follows:
1) "The more protections you have, the more damage you deal."
This passive on Bacchus super irritates me(including back on smite 1)
Gods who prio resses do not deserve damage. SPECIALLY on Bacchus with 3 CCs.
2) Performance. Personally my PCs specs are super great EXCEPT Graphics card which is on the bare minimum. I do not mind playing on Low performance but please fix the performance.
Last but not least:
3) Why is there so many bugs and performance issues, but they prioritize on content creation ? (New gods)? I understand that the team is halved by 2 because of smite 1 and 2, but why would you force your client to pay the alpha test and you know that you should consider the performance,bugs and UI fixes (bugfixes) but instead you create more content? Content can be created further the next year. Atleast make your customers who bought the alpha testing to enjoy the game.
Thank you.
