Yeah its pretty bad.
The first patch just came out and they did fix a few of the more serious problems.
-- is my notes.
1.1 update
Gameplay tweak: Monsters less aggressive in some areas of the game.
--Still attack in masses that will waste you 75% of the time. The packs got smaller but theres now more of them attacking at once.
Gameplay tweak: Magic items appear at a more even rate.
Gameplay tweak: Ice magic now holds opponents longer.
--Still totally useless
Gameplay tweak: Exploit reselling single use scrolls and lockpicks can no longer be abused.
--Nope. still broken.
Gameplay tweak: Boons from relics at Talendor adjusted.
Added feature: Additional spells added for specific types of magic.
Added feature: New heraldries added for specific quest bonuses.

Bug fix: Bargain skill works correctly for reselling items.
Bug fix: Occasional guild inventories not showing up in MP now fixed.
Bug fix: Pain Sting (nether spell) now fixed.
Bug fix: Flickering on load screen no longer occurs.
Bug fix: Occasional hang under MP in Fargove Slums now fixed.
Bug fix: Order of the quests at the Celestial Order in Fargove adjusted.
Bug fix: In the Shadow Ruins, the Blue Athena Statue now drops the Shadow
Crystal even after failing the chess puzzle.
Also along with a couple things not working that they claim to have fixed. they also broke the #1 most common basic spell in the game. It doesnt do damage now.
And as for character customization. Faces, colors ect... Instead of making it work. They just removed all the options and buttons totally. (Nothing to see here. We dont have that. Move along now.)
I paid money for this. So i gotta stick with it. It IS fun when things work. And it has so much potential for a great game. (which makes its current state even more annoying)
But at the same time i'm visitin about two dozen forums for games across the net letting people know to save their money like i wish i had. Im not the only one either. People are PI$$ED. The publisher forums are full of people complaining and worse. I just find it so totally unbelievable they can shove this out the door and want money for it. I can just see the suits at the publisher saying "sell it! the customers will beta test for us! We wont have to pay any testers! they pay us!" Pay now patch later. Maybe.
Just remember it for the future.
Think long and hard about spending any money on any dreamcatcher games in the future.
