Eldara

In it's current form I can't recommend this game and comparing this game to melvor idle is complete insanity. Cons : [list] [*]The UI is not scaleable so you have to scroll the sidebar all the time, have to scroll the lootbox and have to scroll to check buffs in the combat window. [*]You can choose different modes when you start; HC with 50% reduced xp and permadeath, normal mode and fast pace with 2x xp which is good but why are there "meteors" that double xp in a random skill every hour this just makes it so you skip the early game completely and progression sucks. [*]Random events like "market crash" where you sell stuff for 50% more making it so you just hold on to the stuff you want to sell because it's stupid not to wait for the event, which can take several hours. [*]Double XP meteors making it so you hold onto resources for skills like smithing because why wouldn't you, but this means you could hold onto it for a while if you don't get the smithing meteor which just sucks. [*]The activateable "ancient surge" that appears every 2 minutes and boosts your skilling by making it 3x/4x/5x faster for 10 seconds before upgrades just doesn't feel good enough when skills have action timers longer than 20 seconds, it just feels like ♥♥♥♥. [*]The progression for combat is ass, if you get one double XP meteor for, let's say, magic, you just use your starter set and skip all the early levels so the progression is going from starter set to last few tiers, it just doesn't feel good. [*]There are shiny versions of gear which is cool but when the point of the game is to "rebirth" after you've completed everything, going for shiny gear is just completely meaningless because you will lose it anyway. [*]Food is completely useless in this game, you can just buy what you need in the shop because cooking your own is useless, even the worst food is fine for the whole game. The best food which is sharks has NO use because you just don't need it but you also fish sharks at 0.9s intervals but you cook one shark in ~13s with all upgrades which just sucks. [*]There's 29 monsters in the game including world bosses and 10 dungeons but there really is no point in killing more than 5-6 of these monsters mostly because of the hunting skill and also because most monsters just don't drop anything useful so why would you. And for the dungeons there's only really 2 of them you wanna do the rest are pointless. [*]Action timers for most skills are just EXTREMELY slow for no reason, like the last logs you burn in firemaking have a base duration of 30 seconds which is mental. This just feels like ♥♥♥♥ imo. [/list] Pros : [list] [*]The devs are somewhat listening, some updates are really strange but for the most part it's good. [*]World bosses are cool and there are ways to farm them later on which is good. [*]Quests and in-game achievements are nice, quests give way too much xp though, which coupled with double XP meteors you once again just skip a lot of the game. [*]I like that there are shiny versions of gear it just doesn't make sense to me with the rebirth system being the "goal". [*]The factions system is cool and building up reputation with them and getting bonuses is nice. [/list]
