So I ended up getting a beta invite about a week ago for this game (due to release 1/11/11). The gameplay itself is actually very good. You start off with your super travel power from the get-go which is awesome. The combat is not auto-attack, but instead it's a combination of left clicks and right clicks to do cool looking combos. You can also just keep tapping the left or right click to do a regular attack over and over. It makes the game very action oriented, which is great. Honestly, I can't get enough of running up and down buildings at super speed. I could probably do it all day.

With all the good stuff out of the way, it's time to get into the bad stuff. Holy crap this game is littered with bugs. Super speed can cause the game to crash, opening menus can cause the game to crash, loading screens can cause the game to crash, hell even breathing wrong can cause the game to crash. And, it's only a couple of weeks from launch. Not only that, the UI is just shit. There was a recent patch that vastly improved the UI, but somehow, it's still shit. It's slow, the chat windows are extremely inconvenient, items in the inventory sometimes just don't show up, and the list goes on. I've even had game breaking glitches in instances/dungeons that will not allow me to interact with anyone/anything.

Looking through the official boards, there are a ton more glitches and bugs that are just game breaking. There is no way this game will be ready for launch on 1/11. Despite how fun the actual gameplay is, I do not think purchasing this game would be worth it at launch. However, it may be worth taking a look at 1 or 2 months after launch.
