Combat in this game feels so good, by far the BEST syfy mmorpg, my only complaint is why dont we have some more hybrid build options since the devs dont seem to want to make a new class for a game thats been out for as long as my youngest child has been alive haha????
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would think by now there would be some cool pve/pvp maps even using the 2d stuff from the guild starships and personal ships.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character models are solid, maybe more outfits could be had that dont make all women look like 19th century super modest and anti sex figures.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
(F2P) Can group and play with friends and PUGs in most content.
