This is how I see it. Game is getting slammed hard but on my social media and friends groups that stay away from online game discussion the game is being enjoyed by a lot of people playing it.
Game just jumped to 125k players once the servers came back up LMAO
No, there is only basic trading between friends. There are a few exploits but if you don't partake it shouldn't be a problem.
Ran into an interesting bug where my Steam achievements unlocked for finishing Act 3, but not for Act1 or 2 or even for reaching level 30. Weird.

So how come uniques are purple then lol.
The walls of flavor text though.just had this droip
mmm I see. I'll keep an eye on how it proceeds, I've read about a bug that deletes characters too
I think that is fixed OR it could be database issue where you need to relog a few times till the server correctly pulls your data.
But yeah, there are quite a few issues still.

new patch coming
Hello everyone,
First of all, we want to thank you for your patience. It has been a rocky launch and we clearly weren’t expecting that much passion for Wolcen.
We know that the connection issues and bugs you currently encounter are frustrating and prevent you from fully appreciating the game, and we want to assure you that we’re doing our best to resolve all these problems as fast as possible.
However, following the situation that occurred last Friday with the data loss, we now know that we can’t continue to apply hotfixes and patches the way we’ve always done so far. We have to coordinate with our partners to monitor the situation and make sure that we won’t encounter any major database issues.
Since there are higher chances that such issues occur when a lot of players try to join the servers at once, we had to take two temporary measures:
The situation will be improved, we’re currently in the process of upgrading our servers infrastructure. The next patch will already bring some enhancements that will allow us to increase the limit of concurrent players, and we will continue to increase it if we notice improvements.
Our team is also working on the various issues spotted since the release, including critical ones. Here is the patch note for the patch that will be applied this week.
Aspect of Dawn:
Aspect of War
Aspect of Infinity
Aspect of Flesh
In addition to this, know that we're also currently working on other issues/additions and although they're not in the patch note, we're hoping that they will be resolved/added in this week's patch. If they are not, they will be in the patch next week:
Thank you for your support.

Since there are higher chances that such issues occur when a lot of players try to join the servers at once, we had to take two temporary measures:
- The server capacities are currently limited to a certain amount of concurrent players.
- We can only perform one patch per week and we need to coordinate with our partners to push it.

Thank you for your support.
The more I play this, the more I feel like I'm playing Barb from D3.
I have Shout, Leap, Weapon Throw, Whirlwind etc etc.
Also just hit an area that is basically Heaven from D3.
Also had a few bugs like invisible walls blocking my progress even after reloading the area, luckily there were multiple routes through that particular area.
And my primordial essence bar stopped filling up so its constantly empty

Uninstalled, too buggy for me to bother with.
I'll check back in a few months.
I'll check back in a few months.
Bought and played it over the weekend. Reached the end of Act 2 and the Boss there seems to be even harder than the one from the end of Act 1.
Very surprised about the Story, it's a pretty okay fantasy stuff. Nothing complex or new, but mid-end act 2 was cool.
It is buggy, though not game breaking for me (so far!).

So I've played 2 characters to level 70+. One offline and one online. I'm just starting to get into endgame crafting through the Dark Market this week and it seems it will be the last thing I'll do for now until a beefy patch enables more builds or there is some new content. Some thoughts:
The game is good fun. It is also really hard to recommend to anyone in its current state; at least more than I would almost any other game in the genre. It's easier to pick up and play than most other ones thanks to its superb audiovisual design (whether you like the Diablo+40k aesthetic is obviously subjective, but the game is very pretty), and it does some things other games rarely do, which is going for a cinematic presentation while keeping that same hefty punch during gameplay. It really is one of the best feeling arpgs out there, and it is boosted up by decent voice acting, music and graphics.
But it is really, really buggy. People losing characters and progress, unlocks, items, dyes are serious issues, but these are not the only ones. There are more egregious balance issues that bear mentioning: some abilities are super overpowered due to inaccurate scaling and bad maths, some passive abilities don't seem to work at all! The main attributes system, while feeling freer at first as you aren't tied to a basic STR, INT, AGI spread regardless of your build, is actually quite limiting in practice due to the damage boost it confers. It almost feels like they should get back to the drawing board on this sadly. It doesn't feel like a mechanic where you are making serious decisions.
Some things in the tree like crit damage, ailments damage, cooldown reduction and block seem TOO powerful, while things like base spell damage scaling, summons, attack speed, force shield, feel almost pointless. Dodge and projectiles feel like an in between, which is a shame for bow builds. And the number of points you get is too large for the small passive tree, so all builds can take pretty much all the important nodes and end up doing quite similar things. I think itemization is decent, I would rank it over Diablo 3 actually. It's not mindblowing and it needs some variety and better legendaries, but it's not a total negative. That said, the game needs more weapon variety. Abilities are locked to each specific group of weapons, and some weapons like bows, for example, end up feeling limited versus the versatility a gun gives, when it allows you access to 200% more abilities by using an offhand but with very little drawbacks.
Beyond that, I've ran into serious bugs with enemies spawning out of bounds, hitbox issues, boss fights that can't be completed, lock ups, inability to finish objectives and portal out of maps, and a plethora of weird design decisions that bring the game down too much. And that is the crux of it. It's a bummer that the game is in this state when instead of talking about all the net positives, like the best-in-genre transmog system and cool town building endgame, you have to be wary of your build being underpowered if you stray too far from the op nodes, or something rendering your progress moot.
I don't regret the purchase at all, and I'm still having fun, but I couldn't honestly tell anyone to pick this up in good conscience until the more egregious stuff is fixed. There also doesn't seem to be too much long lasting appeal just yet for this to be a regular game in my rotation. I thought I would have more incentive to go back with new characters, but looking at the tree there is very little I haven't covered already with my Cyclone Crit and Ailments Gun builds, and that is taking into account I could easily earn another 15-20 passive points which is enough to take me anywhere in the tree. If they get the rest of the stuff up to par I might give it another go. For now, I just want to complete my build using the endgame crafting system which seems to be doing at least one interesting thing other games aren't doing. Allowing you to craft up from legendary items.
In summary, a lot of good, a lot of bad, a lot of weird and not real confidence most of it will get addressed due to the small team and past history. You could do worse for a one off game for sure. If you don't run into any game breaking bugs you definitely could spend some nice 50+ hours with this until you've had your fill. Sadly, it doesn't seem it will sit nice next to the big bois in the genre for years to come.

inky ISee Stevey
well they certainly are keeping ontop of the issues even down to the unlock issues of dyes etc
for instance seal of arbiter if u transfer it to a legendary type it loses the -25% attack speed which makes the item become a perfect for melee because it does high melee and crit damage rols, so they obviously need to change the system so it still keeps balance in check on the item but can become a legendary etc
well they certainly are keeping ontop of the issues even down to the unlock issues of dyes etc
some of the stuff above reads like nerfs ( the uniques being altered into legendarys, ) its a design feature but they are having to change the way it works because uniques at the moment they are losing things they are there to stop the item being op

LOL, just in time after my wall of text Wolcen Queen
Yeah, those seem like big nerfs. I'm sure they expected endgame to be incredibly hard and not easily bypassed by stacking a couple of abilities. I think at this point the cat is out the bag and people will not take it well when their characters are nerfed without some serious alternatives. I haven't used Bleeding Edge or Winter's Grasp or any block builds because I lose interest when I can cheese my way through content, but I am more interested in what the can do to bring the rest up to snuff and enable different builds.
I think the best they can do right now is to be creative around fixing some of these issues. For example: I certainly kept a couple of double slotted helms precisely due to that bug, so USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE! Put it as a feature into a legendary item, or make it something you can achieve late game with crafting. If you just fix that bug now, it's gonna feel like punishing players for a developer's mistake. If you implement it into the game on your terms, it's gonna be correcting your mistake while turning it into a positive for your players.
Diablo 3 handled that stuff wrong all the time and it, in my opinion, did irreparable damage to the game. I remember when they nerfed attack speed almost immediately after launch due to it being too good (while Inferno being almost impossible to complete for your average build) but they didn't touch any of the other salient points of itemization for months, including serious bugs like weapon elemental damage not doing anything.
I hope they don't make the same mistakes Blizzard and others have done.

the thing is alot of the passoive nodes they listed are bugged so once they are fixed and other nodes that simply dont do anything then other builds will become alot stronger
i think thats the main issues, skills are working/some over tuned/ skills they dont do as much damage is mostly due to nodes that would make that skill or build stronger not working inky
i think thats the main issues, skills are working/some over tuned/ skills they dont do as much damage is mostly due to nodes that would make that skill or build stronger not working inky
Yeah, that is what I am hoping. But there are other issues preventing more builds from being viable beyond certain passive nodes not working. Spell damage for example, is very hard to improve its base damage. There are some issues with additive vs multiplicative damage, but there is also not a lot of help for some in the base items (staves) and passive nodes. So being locked out from warrior and rogue skills is not worth the trade off of going with a staff beyond an ailments or Winter Grasp build. Same deal with bow where gun pretty much does everything plus the option of an offhand.
Other issues with summoner builds for example, is the AI (it's always an issue in these games, but it's really ineffective here), so that goes beyond general passive tree fixes. I hope I'm wrong. And the thing they have with their online service provider where they can only deploy 1 patch per week is really bad for some timely fixes.

Dying during the act 2 phase 2 boss fight will make the boss stack AOE fields all over the place. It feels like instances of the fight run on top of each other.
Act 3 is cool so far, but some "pillars" are in the way and I got stuck twice from teleportation.
Also if your quest item select screen is open and you click on a conversation to trigger the next act your items will disappear.
I had no idea clicking on the dude would trigger the next act. Bye bye red belt.

1.0.5.0 Notes
General
Damage curve for summons
Health curve for summons
Audio
They killed Legendary crafting, one of the few things people were enjoying from endgame. SMH.
I don't mind OP ability nerfs, this barely touches my builds, but nerfing gold gains on things like Omens and expeditions is really stupid. There is barely any true balancing done here beyond summon changes.

They killed Legendary crafting, one of the few things people were enjoying from endgame. SMH.
I don't mind OP ability nerfs, this barely touches my builds, but nerfing gold gains on things like Omens and expeditions is really stupid. There is barely any true balancing done here beyond summon changes.

We know that you appreciate the possibility to change Unique items into legendary items and to craft them, however, we have to remove these possibilities for the moment.
We are definitely not against implementing it as a feature in the future, we find the possibilities that it offers interesting, but we want to spend time in designing it so the system works and is properly integrated with the rest of the game.
We will also implement a new power tier of uniques for the end-game progression with better raw values in a future patch, we are aware that aside from a few exceptions, Uniques are currently not competitive for high-end content.
Doesn't sound too bad actually. Feels the game needs a few more weeks in the oven, but I've already played too much anyway.
