I will like to clarify that, after looking over some of the screenshots and the description, it does look like it has a singleplayer mode.

To admit... There is probably a guy in this game who is wearing a Chainmail bikini... Right?

I'll bet an orc or troll dude is in something roughly equivalent :P

One of these days, a game is actually going to put a guy into a chainmail thong, right down to the arse hairs getting stuck in the links.

I will cheer, that day.

Also, there'll be an entire plotline revolving around the quest for magial nair. The trigger is to wear a chainmail thong, which is immediately cursed and will grant minor penalties until the quest is compete.

A quest? A QUEST?

THAT SHOULD BE AN ENTIRE GAME!

I'm currently downloading the open beta of the asian version(it has english text and voice options) to see if this will be worth caring about, I'll let you guys know what I think of it.

Edit: So far combat seems deep enough that I'm having a fair bit of fun even with the limited set of abilities I have during the tutorial. The tits spellblade/elf class has some interesting spell combo mechanic.

I got to have a lot of fun with the game, but  it has some pretty big flaws. It seems to be suffering from a terrible case of identity crisis, at least it has been for the 13 levels I played it for. One moment you're playing a great strategy/action-rpg blend and then the next it forces you to put up with questing hubs with lame "kill 5 of these dudes you've previously been killing by the hundreds" quests and stupid fetch quests. I can see this getting toned down at later levels, but currently it keeps alternating between challenging large battles and standard tedous and unchallenging mmo drudgery. While the game can run on some pretty low machines, it doesn't really run well on most of them since the optimization is pretty poor and the graphics settings, aside from resoution options and vsync toggle are pretty much inexistant, all you have is a slider bar with 6 notches. There's also motion blur you simply can't disable. One major flaw I found, which will probably get outraged out of the game after we get our own version for a while is their "leadership" system, basically what other mmo's tend to call fatigue. It gets depleted every time you play one of those large battles and you get about 10 or so battles' worth of it before it runs out and you have to wait till the next real day for it to refill. When you're out of leadership you can still fight in battles, but you gain nothing, no loot, no experience, no rewards. The leadership system almost made me nope out and uninstall the game.

I will keep playing it for now, despite these pretty major flaws because it does have great gameplay, and the leadership point system will simply make me play all the classes at once, alternating between them as they run out of points. The game has great graphics, the combat is for the most part extremely fluid and fun and has a good amount of depth without being overly confusing either, large scale battles aren't as mindless as Dynasty Warriors's and things can actually be a serious threat. Between your character and your units there's a fair amount of customization.

Sorry for the block of text.

-TLDR-

Pros:
- Great graphics
- Great and fun gameplay(for large battles)
- Lots of options for customizing your character and army.

Cons:
- "leadership" fatigue system limiting the amount you can play on a single character per day
- Bad optimization
- Lack of meaningful graphics settings
- Boring MMO drudgery forced on you between large battle missions
- Only 3 classes at the moment

The max level is currently 30 and I managed to get my tits to lv13 before running out of leadership. I will be trying the other classes and explain how they work/play. I'd love to record some footage, but it kicks my already terrible game performance down to unplayable levels.

Well fuck. That *IS* a major flaw.

Time to go outrage on their thread :P

First picture is a boobshot.

I've seen enough. I enjoyed Tera, but I'm not going to reward another game like this with attention, time or money. Well, I guess I'll give the game this much attention.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Yeah, I mean I really think they are deterring more people than dragging in with their "tits in your face" marketing strategy.

Incredibly doubtful, that. Almost certainly drawing in more than it's pushing out, with a notably majority not really caring either way.

It'd be pretty neat if they did entrance/exit surveys, though. Assuming anyone answered them, might be able to actually find out what's causing people to leave/stay.

Right, the game that added Dwarves and didnt give us a playable character. Two humans and an Elf instead. Gonna be more than a little peeved if they dont put that axe-gun dwarf asskicker into the game as a character, but 'gunslinger' is already a human class so feh.

Still plenty you could do with a dwarf gunny-thingy, I think.

I actually just had this amazing mental image of a giant axe that deploys wheels and handlebars, is mounted by its dwarf wielder, and sprouts both a gigantic rocket propulsion engine and has its head turn into a spinning vortex of (possibly flaming, sure) slashing death. Dwarf riding its axe around the battlefield, cackling maniacally and leaving streamers of flaming flesh confetti everywhere it goes. Totes be able to stunt while riding it, too~

Axe could also double as some kind of freaky steampunk axe/rocket launcher thing. Dwarf sees approaching enemy force, lifts axe up to shoulder and fires the axehead at them -- after a few feet, the axehead would splinter into this incredible cloud of smaller axeheads. That explode on contact. Each successive shot making the launcher more fancy, until you've eventually got this utterly ridiculously chaingun rocketaxe explosive flechette country destroyer laying waste to everything in line of sight, and many things outside of it. In a wakfu inspired twist, at some point during the transformation the gunaxe would spout an incredibly comfortable recliner for a cockpit. Maybe serve little martinis or somethin'.

Melee would involve all sorts of gunbladeaxe shenanigans and a wicked awesome vaguely technomorphic (but with gears and shit) doom axe that's probably bigger than the dwarf itself and would totally spout quips at things as it's used to murder everything in a hundred mile radius.  The quips would mostly consist of terrible axe puns, but the game would be programmed such that anyone commenting on them near the axe itself would get axed. Semi-sentient doomaxe gets to make all the bad jokes it wants.

E: Downside(?) being that, if such a thing did come into existence, I'm not sure anyone would play anything else.
