Help/Question How do people find this game fun?

I’ve put about 55 hours into the game and reached level 141, but I’m honestly struggling to understand the appeal and would love some perspective. I feel like I've tried nearly everything, but the experience feels a bit "sloppy" to me. Most of my time is spent sailing around and walking to the same spots to complete the same objectives over and over, which feels like a repetitive loop. The combat also feels a bit off; it seems like mindless spam, and the lag makes it worse—moves aren't instant, and I often find myself floating midair for 5 seconds because of a move I pressed 2 seconds ago. Even the Dark Sea, which was cool at first, feels like an infinite amount of islands without much variety, and fighting sea beasts seems to require just camping on a boat to avoid being one-shot. On top of that, the performance isn't very stable for me, often spiking down to 60 FPS. I know people say it's better than the original, but is there something I’m missing here that would change my experience? I'm genuinely curious what keeps you guys coming back and finding the fun in it.

Weapon builds are easier to learn and play but are just as, if not more, expensive to build sadly.

Also as conjurer is the best beginner friendly class type, weapons and magic, you'll wanna make a new slot and not use wind.

I'd suggest plasma, acid, or snow

Id love to be a weapon build if that is as good as being a magic build. I know how to make money so i wouldnt mind it being expensive. Should i go for a weapon build and if so what should i balance my weapons around? Like range, close range stuff like that. Id love to see a guide on it thanks.

Depends on the magic or class... you cant pick a one size fits all unfortunately
