Combat system is simplistic, but good.

The game content however can get a little overwhelming. Even though the mastery system says it doesn't have any dependencies from prior expansions, you will find that you might need masteries in Heart of Thorns to do Visions of the Obscure or End of Dragons. A good amount of content in the later expansions assume that you have access to high level stuff like Griffons or Jade Bot Mastery. At least this is a sign of a game that doesn't release new stuff just to render them obsolete once the next expansion comes. I like the combat style as it feels more actiony than MMO-like.
