I played the beta. It's okay, but overall I was fairly underwhelmed. The skill system is cool, but nothing else about it particularly clicked with me.
My combat experience for the first several hours of the game was "1 1 1 1 1 2, 1 1 1 1 1 2, 1 1 1 1 1 2". I'm sure it gets more complex/varied towards the endgame, but it didn't exactly make me want to drop $50 to buy it.

A lot of your enjoyment of this game will come from how much you are willing to explore the world. Just FYI.
@MrShine and others... I feel the same way about it. I followed this game for a couple years now, begging to play it. Finally got beta weekend access and now I'm just so over with this game. It's a huge shame too, the mythos and setting behind it are quite stellar in my opinion.
I'll be playing at some point tonight. I like everything about it apart from the lackluster combat, but I can't think of many MMOs that actually have engaging battles.
I got into the TSW Beta this past weekend - yup, I was NOT impressed w/ the gameplay AT ALL. Feels like typical MMO and ARPG questing - which is the MAJOR problem w/ this game. And this all is a major shame, given that the writing, dialogue, and voice-acting was VERY good. Probably didn't help that after the interesting beginning "Initiation" stuff, I got into a Zombie-Infested area...after recently playing Dead Island: Ryder White DLC.
Yeah, they wasted a really great concept on a shitty engine and low-complexity meta-game. Letting people spec out their "own" class will just lead to everyone speccing cookie-cutter specs in a simplistic system... Pointless. It's a really great idea for a game too, it's damn crying shame. I wanted to play this game for years until I was let down by the actual game.
