Thanks for the thoughtful replies, Agricola1. I'm in Asia now and I got about 150 ping on the US DFO server. I guess ping will be ok for ER here. I think I will wait a month or so and check in and see how things are going. I want to check out Enterra, but will let the game stabilize a bit more.

By the way, is there a grind? Is there a skill cap something? Like in DF, if you "fall behind" you could ever catch up with people who played longer than you? Is ER like that or will players eventually be "on the same level"?

 There is a grind (it's an MMO) and there is no skill cap, however I know what you're thinking. No this isn't a uber grind ala DFO where you're grinding to keep up with the cheaters that run scripts and swim into the side of the map. You kill npcs for BP (XP), you then spend the BP on purchasing combat skills. There are no levels or classes or cookie cutter templates, the skills are more open like EVE and one skill doesn't block others.

You'll have a situation more like a combination of EVE and DFO, where those that did the most grinding over time will have an advantage. However unlike DFO catching up will be a realistic possibility and like EVE if you specialize in one area you can catch up. Also you buy a skill, it doesn't improve as you use it like DFO.

I don't know hoe this system will look in 6 months but I'm giving you my best guess. There is a seperate system for gaining crafting points and spending them + credits to get the skills. I don't forsee a DFO situation where you get discouraged because AV won't ban the cheats that run scripts to make uber chars.

Thanks again!

I gave it a whopping 1/10.

Any game that is released in this unfinished state does not deserve any better.

7/10 if they fix the performance issues. I love the world concept and MMO feel, but the performance and lag makes it hard to trul enjoy it for the great sandbox it is. Yet i still find myself logging in and playing for hours.... They're doing something right. Got my first T2 gun today, much easier to kill stuff! :)

Well, We got the 20 ratings necessary to display the game ratings. I would say ER is not faring so well...

I initially rated it crap but have been back twice to slightly increase my numbers. The game is starting to grow on me. I think we may have a game on our hands as soon as they fix the obviouse stability issues. 

I just hope ER doesnt follow the the path of other bad launch MMOs and is able to turn it around for a long term, playable, fun, good pop game.

Time will tell.

1 - 10...from me.

Glad to see people arnt putting up with half assed games anymore!

1/10 from me


graphical glitches / CTD / invisible mobs / missing content / still waiting on my supporter items.

Alpha state game that needed funding. I'll not be subbing to this crap. If you want to try it out wait 6-12 months, if they are still in business and read up before you try it. I am thoroughly disgusted with the game at its current state and would rather take my refund then get 2 months of beta testing.
 

solid 3

I am holding judgement for 6 months

I dropped 50 bucks onto a game I logged onto twice (once for initial login, then the server dropped, so I logged BACK in about an hour later).  Bugged beyond belief.  Just a bad state.  It really is a TERRIBLE (or Charles Barkley's TUUUUURBLE) game at this point.  Let'm sort out the bugs and maybe it'll be feasible.  It DID have some creative aspects...

I gave a 4/10.

It would had been 2/10 If I hadn't put 8 in graphics.

Why's that?   

Last time i try the game before the release was unplayable cause server crashes and char stucked in some areas. Hope the situation is better now, this game has potential as sandbox.

My experience in beta was 5/10.

Done, but I bet I didn't plug in the numbers you'd hoped ;)
