So I've been pretty much bingeing this since release and finished the main campaign today around level 30 (though I still have Chaos Undivided to finish after it).
All in all I've been enjoying it, but good god is it buggy. Nothing show-stopping so far (I've crashed twice in 40ish hours, plus one major graphics corruption thing during a single mission), but so many little things not working as they should, from the wrong audio playing during a cut scene to missing info in tooltips (variable names instead of the value) to abilities that say they have a DoT component yet apply no DoT to a skill node that says it adds 1% damage to area attacks for each enemy the attack hits, but in practice is adding more like 50% per enemy (Optimal Dispersion, should you want to abuse it before it's fixed - one shot almost any spawn, including the smaller bosses). But still, fun.
They're gonna need some more content for 30+ though because as it stands it's a massive grind with nothing much new to unlock. The missions are very samey given how many you need to do, and while campaign missions are decent xp the random missions and co-op matchmaking missions are not. I'm looking at 10-20 of them per level just now (xp per level is increasing, xp per mission not so much) and they're pretty much exactly the same as all the missions I did for levels 1 through 30. Which I suppose is true of all ARPGs to one extent or another, but usually you have something to grind towards besides level cap alone (both loot and skill points are primarily boring 1% increment type upgrades, rather than doing anything new or interesting). I'm in two minds as to whether to tough it out to 50 for when the supposed endgame is introduced, or just play alts instead for a bit more variation in gameplay (or, I suppose, just play something else until they add more stuff).
In the meantime if anyone wants to co-op outside of the underwhelming random matchmaking, give me a shout (GMT evenings mostly) - I've not had any real problems with lag and such in the co-op games I did play and it'll maybe be more fun than doing random missions solo (though if you want to advance, the solo-only campaign is better xp... or throwing fate points at Impossible tarot missions with an xp booster consumable).
are we doing a color scheme thing, or shall I keep my angry marine all yellow?
There's only 4 of us so far (including you) but if we do a color scheme it'll get costly since you have to (pay to) recolour your armour each time you get a new one.
