I had my fair chare of the beta now and here is what I think
1.DIFFICULTY... As all have said the "Overall" action is hillariously easy,,run straight into a Bane spawn of 4-6 Thrax shoot your shotgun and watch them all fall like bricks..reload and shoot some more all dead and you didnt even loose any of your armor..Mind that this is "solo"..NOTE: The first time you do this it's actually cool
The first few times it can apear "cool" that you are so strong and heroic that you can wipe out entire squads of alien scum, but it get's old very fast..To maintain a healthy subscriber base they need to make combat interessting and more strategic and base the gameplay more towards group activity..Sure it's nice to solo but it's still the grouping that can make an MMO interessting and challanging..In this game you do not need to group, so people will not do that..
Forced grouping in some areas and parts of the overland map is required to maintain a sence of danger for the players..Note: No one likes the words forced grouping..But how do you like the word forced solo play..?
Other than this..the game concept feels new and I like it, It could actually become very good and even unique MMORPG experience, but right now it's shame that this game is about to get "failed due to the above reason only....It's not challinging enough to get people trough the initial states of the game, my guesses is that people will bore before it becomes a challange later in the game(I read that the challange picks up later)...
