I probably won't come back to the game until a few months once they get all of the basic functions like the entire passive tree and Wizard damage actually being fixed until then. Yeah, I'm glad they sold a million copies but they really, really need to take their sales and invest them in heavily fixing the problems. Meaning they did not test the full games content prior to release. In pre-release Beta only Act 1 and two of the 2 sections of the Passive Tree were available. My biggest issue is when they released Acts 2 and 3 and rest of the Passive Tree without at least testing them prior to v1.0. I was an ardent supporter of this game as it left early access, but it had so many issues with the broken / nonfunctional nodes on the Passive Tree as well as Mage and magic damage in general being useless due to lack of actual damage scaling with levels and the Two handed warrior strategy being front and center. Seems like we're not getting an update this week so I expect that number to drop even further.

I've played for 96 hours already and certainly got my money's worth, it's just a shame seeing the game drop from 127K players launch weekend down to around 20K. I backed the game on kickstarter back in 2015 for something like $12 USD so I can't complain too much. It is however let down by a myriad of issues including passive skills not working correctly, poorly balanced active skills, ongoing server issues, server host apparently stipulating only 1 update per week, developer that doesn't communicate to the players, player's characters and stash going missing, not being able to trade items for high values because the gold goes missing, etc. I tried playing Grim Dawn after playing Wolcen and the combat just doesn't feel anywhere near as good. It feels weighty yet responsive (except for a few skill animations which hopefully get tightened up) and it's so satisfying mowing down enemies. The game has some of the best feeling combat in the ARPG genre as far as I'm concerned.
