RE: UX Design and Second-To-Second Gameplayposted in Discussions & Feedback
To comment on the WASD function. There are many games of this genre that operate only using mouse clicks. Albion for example only uses mouse clicks to move although it does have a auto-run feature. I stand by the fact that WASD will ultimately be too restrictive in regards to the fluidity of the game. I have played games from a top-down perspective whose movement function is only WASD and have found them to be extremely clunky. A auto run feature might be the proper move to improve the experience of those who are in the same situation as you.

RE: First Impressionsposted in Discussions & Feedback
As someone has already reiterated and many more will for the rest of this game's existence. There is progression, however it really is not completely black and white or what most players may be used to. Their form of progression is through talents, gear acquisition, and ability acquisition. Gear acquisition alone is a process and is the only thing close to vertical scaling. Another thing to note is that the developers desire players to have multiple ability/talent presets to fill different rolls for each toon. With all this is mind, it is important to note that for new players who may be reading this thread or for those who are unaware, the developers have reiterated many times that this game's focus is horizontal scaling, not vertical. I personally like the talent tree as it compliments the horizontal process well. Someone with a more complete tree will be more powerful than someone without a complete tree, however the differences won't be as extreme nor will it be difficult to acquire.
