I started with open beta, so far I like the game. Because:
1. Simple is better
Controls:
I appreciate simple controls with 1-0 numbers and F1-F12 keys, it is easy to remember. Comparing the last mmo that i play and which using letters for skills, Raiders of Icarus has better keybindings in my opinion.
Map:
I like the simple map indeed, it is small but showing my direction with a flash-lamp-like guide, and quest spots as colored areas, well done. Map is sufficient.
2. Balanced content
Main story and regions are enough, as it should be. The reason that why I left previous korean mmo was too much content. After two month I realized that I can't handle the game even I play 16 hours a day, and that I can't enjoy playing anymore.
Here in Raiders of Icarus the content seems nice, it will get an update this month, and it will be enough fun. Please keep it that way. Excessive content can throw away even most devoted players in some point.
3. Easy is better
As far as I can tell, (I played almost until level 10 with two characters) in early game, gameplay is fair, not so easy not so hard, as it should be, again. I hope it stays that way in end game as well and I can play some parts solo and some parts with party.
I remember that in another game I was forced to fight solo against some overwhelmed bosses, and failed, in order to upgrade my gear, it was such disappointment. How can I like a game if I am unable to play it! Not everyone is a pro gamer.
4. Free to play, pay to enjoy more
I like the features that premium is giving us. I am planning to buy and try it when possible.
5. Crafting
Crafting seems learnable and fun. Gathering is fair. You know what I mean.
6. What to develop more?
Gear? I am a bit confused and not sure about how to upgrade my gear? Maybe you would like to add a special tutorial for gear upgrade.
Storage? Do i need to go to bank every time to reserve my items? Where can I find more bags? at level 9-10 my inventory has not enough slots.
Taming? It can be more attractive. Why don't we get some ressource when we release familiars (instead of paying some fee for release) ? hehe
Skills? It would be nice if game offers some default predefined settings with available skills, so we can apply them and avoid incorrect builds.
7. What can we expect to see?
More daily rewards.
Maybe some promotional preview of available elite mounts where we can try for 1 day and it expires.
Maybe more often official twitch videos teaching feautures of game and giving hints, like every week.
8. Final thoughts
Raiders of Icarus seems promising. It makes me feel that I will want to come back login everyday for fun.
