I think they done a good job.

I think they should add DEBUFF damage 10 or 20 % for people using heavy armor, making it more about tankiness than dealing damage , it will switch the DPS thing to medium light thingy and allow tanks to go to heavy
It is a great game. Great place to start with lots of potential (as a base game). Combat is fun, design is smart. I dig it.

But they already have a damage penalty compared to lighter armor wearers.
It is a fun game and I am enjoying it very much. However…
it is difficult for me to consider it a “modern” MMO when it lacks basic features and functionality that have been standard in MMO’s for over 15 years.
If you mean that it’s not another WOW clone, I’m personally happy about that.
No stuff like UI mods, mail that’s only abused by gold sellers, minimap that spoils exploration… are, to me, in this game’s setting, a good thing.
they dont have damage penalty , they just do basic damage , wich is already too much compared to heavy armor tankiness, so they need a debuff damage

You are making some wild assumptions on what I mean by basic features…
- I never mentioned UI mods
- I never mentioned Mail
- I never mentioned Minimap
I am not going to make a full list here (no point), but a modern MMO should have:
Functional Company Management Tool
The current tool does nothing and is completely useless
Dungeon Group Finder
People standing outside of dungeons and spamming “LFG” is stupid and went out with the dark ages of MMO’s
Company Finder & Listing function
For a game that forces a choice on a faction at level 10, a basic in-game tool for companies to advertise and players to search is needed.
Don’t you think that is a clear design decision?
I remember farming for my fast mount in burning crusade era wow and it wasn’t easy, wasn’t supposed to be easy. That was what made it fun imo, you actually achieved something. The need to appeal to the mass market got rid of so many aspects (i loved my hybrid heal/tank spec) that made wow a great game I couldn’t play it past the lich king.
With new world they’ve taken some of the best aspects of early mmo’s, added realistic world with proper environments (farming herbs and berries for cooking mats has blown my mind - different stuff depending on latitude and altitude, just so cool) and a modern player controlled economy and PVP based political system that is almost feudal in design.
So I guess my point is that it’s a modern game that has listened to the years of feedback from players and incorporated some of the best bit of early MMO’s to give something a little different.
Sorry for the long post but they extended maintenance 
No I do not…
For example, there is no reasonable design decision to not have a Dungeon Finder in a game released in 2021. You can’t argue that is helps the “social aspect of the game” when all it causes is a mass of people spamming “LFG” and once they are in a group it is the same social dynamic as a Dungeon Finder Group.
Nope, it was laziness and or incompetence that is the reason for no Dungeon Finder. It is one of the few improvements that modern MMO’s have made over the older games.
As for the Company Manager… what game design decision could be that has the feature be as completely useless as it is. It really serves zero function whatsoever.
The Company Finder tool is debatable, but as I stated above, in a game with such a requirement for company and faction choices at such a low level, the lack of an in-game tool is a failure. And once again probably due to laziness and or incompetance.
When you do 10% less damage than the highest damage dealer, you have a damage penalty.
It’s not because that data is presented the reverse way in the game (it’s better to have “+” than “-”, basic marketing, be positive rather than negative) that it’s different.
Select a Role (ala FFXIV)
A role is suggested by the gear you are wearing, but you can select whatever role you wish to fill.
I always thought that dungeon finder led to endless bad pugs so i always tanked guild groups that didn’t need a tool. As you say, company and faction choices at low level so if you want to spam a dungeon 10 lvls later you should at least be established in your company.
Players spamming chat is as old as mmo’s and dungeon finder doesn’t stop it but that is what it is.
I’ve no idea about the company stuff, i got lost crafting and sort of missed it, but I’ll spam chat looking for a crafty guild sooner or later and see what i think.
