Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
servers are hosted by players. servers didnt show up after 5 mins of waiting on two occasions. the dev is responsive on discord, it's a beautiful game for early access, the casting mechanics are a stroke of genius, but the server selection part wasn't apparent in the streams i watched.
