Oh my... what can I say after playing this game for 1,822 hours... It has been my life for nearly one year now, and it continues to be a major part of my life, through crafting, building, POI's, PVP, and RP. I personally built and manage the Tenarath Bathhouse, and run a leatherworking shop called The Huntress, in Jevardus, Inis Gallia on the SIF server. The bathhouse is just one intricate part of the amazing town that I live in, that has brought such life to the SIF server. Are you tired of crafting, join an RP event that has been created by other players, or even a competition, such as dueling or archery. Last week there was a fashion show. Tonight in the PVP zone there is a gathering at one of the castle's pubs. Don't enjoy RP? Well, maybe you would rather create your own PVP clan, own and build your own castle in the PVP zone, and coordinate gathering white wood to keep your shrine afloat, all the while fighting off other clans. Want to just stay solo, then build a hut in the middle of the ghost lands, start your own business, or don't. This game is what YOU MAKE IT. WE MAKE IT.
I see a lot of people making false statements in their reviews about Pax Dei. They say that you have to subscribe in order to keep the game. False. They say that you have to subscribe to keep your building plot. False. Those are the two big lies told in several of the reviews I have seen. Here is the truth. You can purchase the game outright and play it for as long is you want without ever subscribing to a monthly charge. You receive one plot token to build with when you purchase the game. That token for the plot is good for one month. You can then convert that plot to what they call a grace plot. Grace is an in game currency that you can use for travel, buffs, and wait for it... to make a monthly payment for the building plot that you have converted from token to grace. Grace can be purchased daily and is also given to each person who logs in everyday. 10 grace if you are unsubscribed and 15 if you are subscribed. So for an unsubscribed player you get 300 a month simply for logging in. You can then add to this by purchasing grace with in game gold that you have farmed off of npc's that you have killed. like 90 gold for 15 grace that you can do daily so thats another 450 grace. See how you can cover that 400 grace for your converted grace plot? Wa la! The game can be played infinitum without a subscription and you still can have a plot to build on. With that cleared up . Let's move on to the Pro's and Con's of Pax Dei. Pros Landscape is the most visually stunning I have ever seen in a game. The Vista's in this game will continue to wow you even after you have thousands of hours played. The crafting system is complex and big. You say you want a sandbox? This crafting system will sandbox the hell out of you. It teaches patience and teamwork. The building system is probably the best I have ever seen in a game. You can really get creative with it and build some very unique and beautiful buildings with it. A great pass time in the game is just to travel around and look at what people have created. You pick up building ideas and see some really great builds this way. The people. This gaming community is one of the most welcoming I have played in. The redeeming que system. This system in the game is in place for players that go dormant for whatever reason. It is there so that if your plot doesn't renew everything you painstakingly gathered, mined, baked etc to create your build is not lost. It all goes into this redeeming que. It includes everything in your plot circumference. Contents of all containers and even the containers themselves. EVERYTHING. All these items can be retrieved by you at the Petra Stone in the zone that your plot was in. Pax Dei discord where the Development Team actively takes feedback on how to improve the game. Cons, and look it's early in development. There will be a lot of cons. Slow movement in developing the game. Mainframe had to tighten its belt and went mean and lean. Each developer was asked to do more and they are working hard at it. Game was released while not ready for prime time. It had many bugs which do still occur much less frequently than they did in the past but do still occur. A video memory leak was present but seems to have been worked on recently . PVE content is lacking what a reasonable person would expect from an MMO. The classes of enemies are probably only three or four catagories and do not have much diversity. For a very long time the aggro system in the game was abhorent. Chain aggro was occuring and dungeon and overland POI pulls could turn into an absolute jailbreak. It has gotten better but still needs a little more work. PVP death penalty is over the top. Generally if you cannot get right back to your body you lose all your gear and everything in your inventory. PVP concept needs work. Along with player builds because the ability system is so basic and tied to what you wear as opposed to what you have learned or what the size of health mana and stamina is. No viable ranged dps. Tanks have to not only deal with the mobs but also several of their own group members in the way of what they are doing. Often times a tank gets blocked in and cannot move. The UI needs more work. Enough said. So why should you play Pax Dei with all these cons? The answer for me is simple. I just can't go back to playing a cartoon land game. The landscape and vista's and magnificent structures that people build keep me coming back. This game has a ton of potential but the developers need to step up their game and introduce new content quicker. This is the only review I have written on any of the games I have played. I couldn't stand by and have other reviews misrepresent the information about whether you have to subscribe to play the game. You dont. I have never wanted to see a game succeed like I want this one to. The start of what they are doing is that appealing to me. Thanks for reading this far. Have a great day.
With nearly nearly 3000 hours played, I feel more than a little guilty for not having written a review yet. I’ve been enjoying this game since the beginning of Early Access. True, some of the game systems were rough back then, but most of the complaints in the negative reviews have already been faced and improved upon over this past year with the numerous game patches and content updates. As to the few other remaining negative review complaints, the dev’s near-future roadmap diagram shows they’ll be addressing them as well. The rest of the negative reviews are due to not liking the “Sandbox MMO” gaming style/genre, which is a matter of opinion. 10/10 Starting Out - The most recent content update added achievements which do a great job onboarding new players. Your first plot is FREE with game purchase, and can be maintained indefinitely with just the in-game currency. If you want to build bigger, then gather your friends and make a clan, or buy plot tokens with a subscription. 11/10 Building System - Best I’ve ever seen in a sandbox MMO. Huge variety of building pieces, and a robust snapping system that gives infinite variety. The only limit is your own creativity. Everyone can build something cool, big or small. A cottage, market, inn, tavern, guard tower, fort, castle, forest treehouse, outpost, crafting hall, etc. There are many master builders, architects and artists in this world with truly jaw-dropping creations. 10/10 Sandbox MMO - The world is vast and beautiful. I still haven’t visited even half of the heartland home valleys. Every time I step into a new one, I’m floored by what that local community has built up. There are no NPC’s giving out quests. The game is much more chill and organic with player-driven content. You chat with and support your neighbors. You trade with visitors. You make your own story. The bigger clans frequently host community events such as dungeon runs, adventuring in the wildlands, PVP and fun social/Roleplay events. 9/10 Economy - There’s a niche for everyone. Do you like to grind out crafting and become a top-tier crafter that everyone comes to? Do you like to venture out into the wildlands hunting and gathering rare resources? Do you like to join up in dungeon-delving parties to acquire unique items? Do you like to PvP over special resources? Are you an artist or architect willing to build on commission? 8/10 Content Updates - Every 2-3 months, a content update adds something new and interesting, be it a new game mechanic, new building pieces, improved systems, and quality of life improvements. 7/10 PVP - I don’t participate, but the PVP area usually seems to be the most active area during primetime. There are many clans with amazing fortresses. There’s always a fight over special resources. The dueling system is also fun. 6/10 Crafting - Not my favorite part of the game. There’s a huge variety of professions, but like all MMO’s, you inevitably stand at the crafting bench for a long time. But that is balanced with the adventure of going out and gathering the satisfying variety of needed resources in the various biomes of the wildlands. Also, there’s usually something different and interesting to craft as you level up. 6/10 Dungeons - Some of the best structural art was poured into the dungeon designs. I don’t regularly adventure in the dungeons, but from what I’ve heard, the enemy AI and difficulty are much improved in the new update, and there’s still much more to come. 10/10 The Future - The game continues to grow and stay fresh. Check out the official road map for what’s to come! The world is vast, with stunning POI’s that have yet to be utilized. There’s so much potential for the lore to expand into.
New players should check server population and area activity before settling. If you want to trade, cooperate, or feel like part of a town, you need neighbors. Some servers, provinces, and valleys are much more populated than others. I’m on the EU Tyr server and chose a higher-population area, which made a big difference. You can check server populations on the game’s website, and I recommend choosing a high-population province, then one of the more active valleys in your preferred region. You will spend a lot of time farming resources, crafting, and building your homestead, especially in the beginning. Since the game has no mounts yet, walking across provinces can take a long time. Mounts are apparently planned, but for now, living near other players makes the game feel much better and reduces how often you need to travel far. I hesitated to buy this game because of the negative reviews. Yes, you will spend a lot of time building and crafting, but the game also has PvP and PvE content. Some reviewers say it is too grindy for solo players, but after playing many survival builder games, I personally do not feel that is true. It is slow-paced, but that seems intentional, especially with crafting and progression. Despite the mixed reviews, I really like it. There is no other medieval MMO quite like this, so I will keep playing. The game has good bones, and if the developers continue improving it, it could become very, very good. That said, the world does feel a bit empty right now. I would like to see more dynamic threats, such as attacks near towns, wandering beasts, bandits, and more reasons to react to the world around you. The valleys need their own threat loop, because as far as I know, PvP is only possible in Lyonesse, apart from dueling. Otherwise, the loop can become: Build house → craft furniture → grind materials → trade → admire house → log out. The world and valleys need bandits, beasts, events, and threats that make settlements feel alive. Without dynamic threats in player-inhabited valleys, walls and fortifications are mostly decorative and do not have much real meaning. I have not done PvP yet because I am not geared enough, but other settlers in my valley told me that the PvP zone, Lyonesse, has some activity. I plan to check that out with friends later and also start running dungeons for PvE. I will definitely try dueling later too. I currently have a subscription for a plot in the game. Two of my friends are living on my two plots without subscriptions, and more friends may join later. One thing new players should understand before buying is the plot/subscription system. I cannot fully say yet how convenient the game feels without a subscription. Playing without one seems possible if you join a friend’s plot or group, but for a solo player who wants to maintain their own plot without subscribing, I am not sure how difficult or inconvenient that becomes. It is something worth checking before you buy.
