    If I could give this game a negative I would. If this released with CBT1 or CBT2 patches, it would have been fine, but the gear and transcendent skill catchup made this game unplayable for PVP. PVE dungeons are bad - just a couple of trash packs and a single boss. Gearing is heavily RNG based, and if you wanna gear for PVP you're already too late.

    Speaking of PVP there is no equalized BGs like there were in Tera, so expect to get 1 shot immediately if you aren't at 450ilvl or higher. Due to gear also not scaling linearly, this means that advantages are massively compounded as they get higher. Top PVP players are already win trading, and with CMs in the guilds that are guilty of this, we all know nothing is going to be done.

    There was a lot of potential spoiled by launching with this patch. An earlier patch would have been much better. The fact that they are already trying to boost twitch views by paying streamers post-launch instead of doing it with the launch means they don't have the player count they were hoping for. Game is going to be dead. I wish I just took the refund they offered me a few months ago when they changed it to F2P.    … Expand

    Stiff melee combat for some classes. Ranged flows well though.
    Using systems from the dark ages of gaming. (Gear breaking and poofing on failure)
    Sketchy cash shop items. Graphics are borderline bad. Forced PvP (personal negative) Overly convoluted and annoying upgrade systems. These are terrible. It's another Korean grinder with no soul, and perched and ready for pay to win    Stiff melee combat for some classes. Ranged flows well though.

    It's like BDO and Tera had a love child, but the game came out not as good as either.    … Expand

    This game was something I waited for.
    There was a huge amount of time given for them to be able to make a game that can function well.
    Right off the bat, launcher is awful, barely works. Published by Kakaogames, one of, if not the worst publisher I have ever witnessed in the gaming industry. The game is a re-run of TERA, skill system is the same, combat system is the same but with even    This game was something I waited for.

    The game is a re-run of TERA, skill system is the same, combat system is the same but with even more bugs and unpleasant interactions.
    Lore is near insignificant and the voice over for a game such as this is awfully terrible.
    Cash shop is same system as Black Desert Online, you get inventory space the same way, you get loyalty the same way. There are already ways to P2W and it is rather disgusting. PvP system is quite questionable in itself. Engine is awfully outdated and post processing forces a very annoying green tint over your screen. Why? Quests to level are awfully uninteresting, the whole time I played, there was nothing that would bring even a little bit of joy out of me. The community in itself is already awfully toxic, specially on discord.

    But on that note, is there anything good about the game?
    Considering how fast such games can come and go, the only fun thing in it, is that you can waste time if you literally have nothing to do but would recommend against it. This game Had potential but with the engine being this bad, content being clogged with nonsense and just in general a batch of stolen assets from already existing games, it will not live long or only people who believe in such games will play. They had several years to improve many things, yet they did not and from here, can't even say it will change, specially if Kakaogames with their awful anti-cheat will keep things in "charge".
    If you are really desperately trying to find a MMORPG that is worth your time, might as well wait instead.    … Expand

    An amalgam of ideas taken from other mmorpgs that leave Elyon with no identity of his own, absurd design decisions, problems, gameplay limitations and abusive randomness.

    Just like a visit to the carnival, even though it wasn’t the greatest experience ever, I haven’t ended a day playing Elyon feeling like I had a bad time. The bigger question for me is how long this carnival can last? We’re only a month past launch, and if you aren’t online for the daily reset, finding a group to run dungeons with can be difficult. The same can be said about finding a match for the various types of PvP. The fewer players there are, the harder it will be to turn a profit, so it won’t be long before the financials start to dictate what items go into the cash shop. And when that happens, the player base will shrink even further. So I guess I’ll keep on riding this roller coaster until it breaks down. Aaaaand, it’s gone!
