Quick Take
Status: Pax Dei for me was a very fun building game. For me, it's been my favorite building game, especially for an MMO, I have played to date.
Crafting
The crafting isn't anything exciting or unique. I was okay with it except for one item.
You can be stuck for many minutes (10–30) crafting a large number of items, and while crafting you can’t do anything else. You literally can’t play the game. This feels like a poor decision.
Combat
Combat is meh and not very exciting. I haven't had a chance to play verse 3 yet where they have made some changes.
Markets
Markets are very basic and missing many quality-of-life features such as knowing who has bought from you or receiving sell alerts.
Outlook
For me, I like my MMOs to feel alive and if there is some interest in the game when it launches, I'll give it a try. I don't see me playing Pax Dei much until it launches. I might check out new features for a bit when they drop.
