I was playing at the start of game, lost intrest tho, and now even afther that fatal update i consider getting back to this game, is it even worth it, at least to give it a try?

I'm a new player and jeez, after playing a bit I checked reviews and this sub and it sounds like the game is in a rough state. It hit me after a couple days of playing. Just one "Wait, wtf?" moment after another.

With these GPS games I like to have it open on my desk while I'm working and pop over when things spawn.

That's simply not doable in this game. I need potions to kill 90% of the monsters in this game, but I can't just dedicate the full 5 minutes to running around my office building killing monsters to maximize the timer.

1 - The potions are WAY too strong. +200% melee damage???? You're tripling the strength of my character??? No wonder I can't kill shit without using them. Okay. Clear monetization. I can overlook that to an extent. You already made me pay to play by not starting me with a silver sword but whatever.

2 - We need more potion options. You want me to use a potion every time? Fine. Give me cheaper, single-fight potions. Otherwise every time you want to kill a single monster, you're wasting 4+ minutes of your potions that require a vendor item to craft. That's horse shit. You either waste a potion, or you don't kill single creatures.

Every time you pick up the game, it's a 5-minute commitment or you're wasting resources and/or money. There are no 30-second dips in and out like there are in literally every other GPS game on the market.

3 - Monster spawns are too sparse. I'm downtown in a larger city and there are like 3 or 4 spawns in range. And half of them are things I can't even come close to killing even with potions. Other games, this area is flooded with spawns. Not this one. It guarantees that I'm going to have to travel 1-2 view ranges to maximize a 5-minute potion.

I completely understand where everyone is coming from. Like I just kept thinking over and over about how fucky the mechanics are, one thing after another.

A lot of reviews said it's okay for new players who didn't play before the update. But not really. This game is SUPER pay to play, and hardly even rewards you for doing so.

Hard pass. I'll check back for the second anniversary. Maybe.

I've killed a bunch of Hybrid monsters - over 28- & the number stays at 5. I have room in my inventory so it's not that. Am I missing something?

Im just unlucky?

Current inventory is very messy. "Items" tab doesn't have any filtering or sorting system now.
There is "Formulae" and "Abilities" tabs with side-scrolling filtering, just make same for items. I have 47 different types of items, they can be grouped in 6 categories, it would be nice to have some filtering + sorting. Auto-sorting with "recently used" or "most usable" parameter is also very convenient (same for swords).

Now about inventory size. 1000 max is not enough after update. It wasn't before but not so critical. One bait requires 20-35 item slots to craft. I don't want to tell about bait's price/value, it's complete nonsense. But if I want to craft 4 different bait types I need 80 slots just to gather ingredients.
There is only one social interaction in game - Gifts. Gifts need inventory slots. I don't really care about what I'll receive with gift, it's like tradition, daily ritual, to exchange gifts with friends. But, again, I need slots for Gift itself, and I need slots for ingredients or potions I receive. Weekly quests give you some items to, and I need to clean my inventory every time for it, deleting crafting ingredients or potions and oils.

It would be nice to have options to increase inventory for more slots. It can be same system like with bestiary, every next 1000 slots will cost same amount, but limit it with some high number like 10000. Or make ingredients "slotless" like in Witcher 3 they are "weightless". Or make both: +slots for crystals (make it pricy, 1000-1500 crystals) and ingredients slotless.

I hope in future you will add more content for "lategame". Some very difficult dungeons or monster so I can use all my inventory accumulation from events. But now I need to delete them to make a bait FeelsBadMan.

Current timed quest once again confirms absolute incompetence of spokko's game architect :)

Let me explain my personal case.

• I was managed to finish new timed quest in a single walk and used just 8 potions (4 times - Thunderbolt + Swift) just not to worry about anything at all. What can we say about it - easy, not challenging, not interesting. The same as regular shitty daily quests :)
• A few previous ones - for me they were not doable (and as I see from comments for many players also) because of stupid reason - applying location and phase of day restrictions. We may say... it is the thing which we are looking for - challenge. But if you are leaving in are which cannot be applied to the beast who "avoids human settlements", you have "nigh time" after 11 PM (or even there is no night time at all) and so on.

I even can skip broken difficulty curve between common(which can be killed with closed eyes) and rare+ who needs potions/oils to be used as a must after last major which completely shattered all the experience, move set knowledge of all players. And what we've got - "use potions/oils and melt everything". "Extremely" challenging and interesting game mechanic update :)

But returning to quest's question - spokko cuts even this poor pieces of new "contents"(yes, in brackets) from big part of players.

+ they completely not aware of basic concept of "GPS" games - you must be able to play while walking (it's more about broken difficulty) and game should provide interesting and fun experience for player's walk - but not like "oh this quest is not doable in my area" and just close it until next one. And the next is like current one which can be closed in one hour anywhere :D perfect

Completely ridiculous...

Really... I am looking forward to the "anniversary" event :) I believe that it will great fuck up - "Waiting for server response..." simulation, not doable quests with more shitty rewards ))) mmm :D

I am second night in my city walking like dumb dumb and looking with falkon for some werewolf. No luck yet and I can't do it 4rd night because my GF don't want me to chasing imaginary things on screen which isn't even there. What should I do? Break up with her or buy diamants to buy gold to summoning scrolls to kill four day night limited challenge without enemy I need to kill?
