Combat isn't as simple as it seems. The video shows very early combat scenarios, which isn't the same as the later stuff. As Aubrielle said, movement is really key, especially at higher levels. But it is all predicated on the concept of pulling and destroying large groups with AoE abilities while minimizing damage taken. You will use health pots pretty frequently at higher levels if your positioning or gear is lacking.
My biggest gripe is there's just too many inconvenient designs. You have to be logged in to do anything, including having your crops grow. You needs crops to make the +exp tea. There's no fast travel points. The best you can do is to set the computer to autorun all the way across the map). Tons of grinding, both to level up in the traditional sense, and your character abilities/energy.
To be fair I lot of the grinding is optional, you can pretty much choose what to do. And the game has the option to minimize to SysTray when you quit, so it keeps running. But, this
is an Asian MMO and they generally consider grinding as legitimate content.
Combat can be simple or complex. When you create a character, there's a graph giving you the classes' dependence on combos, their defense, evasion, control and something else that I forget. Classes that use combos and evasion can be pretty complex to fight with. But, combat doesn't have to be a large part of the game; you can craft, and the system's pretty complex. You can trade between cities (also not as simple as it sounds), you can farm special drops to turn in to NPCs for a lot of silver, you can do kill quests, etc.
The world map deserves a mention. Your quests, and their location, are shown on the world map. And not by !. Actual shading to show you the quest area and a small picture showing what you have to gather kill, etc. You can also choose to show climate, the water table, and about 6 other variables. Pretty nice, IMO.
The game's fairly realistic, so you have to ride a horse to get around ( and you have to care for it, like a real horse) no porting. I think the "inconvenient" systems are what make it immersive. My crops don't grow over night and that's how it is in RL. But, you can hire workers to do the farming, etc, as long as you have housing for them. I'm enjoying it and I have found zero bugs, so far.
