    I wonder if anyone have tried it and what are your thoughts about it.

    I tried it and it's fun with friends, but I am not sure about long-term motivation yet. There are definitely some significant bugs still. The menus really don't like my 16:10 resolution.

    The monsters seem interesting and those I've seen so far have very different behavior. The fights remind me of The Witcher 3, but less well-rounded as of right now. Gameplay-wise, the most annoying thing for me ist not being able to dodge during attack animations. Sometimes, you just stand there, watching the monster charging and you can't do anything about getting hit. I really hope they'll change that. One way to reduce this issue is to use faster weapons instead, though.

    Never heard of it, but the moment I saw "co-op RPG", I knew I would have to try this. I wonder if they have an agreement where you're prohibited to stream it because this looks like it'd be fun for me to stream on my Twitch channel... and maybe actually get people to watch. Thank you for this!

      I don't think they have an NDA, since they went to open beta from closed a few days ago and I see other people streaming it on twitch.

    I've got a few friends that have been trying to play this since it started on Thursday, and from watching them talk so far I'm not sure that they've actually gotten past the login queue yet. It seems like there were definitely server-overload issues, hopefully that improves before long.

      There are a lot of server issues as of right now. We've had queues of over 100K people in front of us. They deployed a hotfix yesterday though and it was quite a bit faster today. You can still expect a sizable queue though.
