I didn't get to play much last weekend, unfortunately due to work. Same this weekend, but I managed to get to a level 10 cut scene fight, and you can already out run certain atks, dodge certain atks, it's great that it's this early on.
Couldn't stand how mundane certain early fights were, you just had to hope you'd out live the enemy and that was it. Now if you play it right, you can win easily, or go to your doom in an instant. They keep this up, with challenging fights, it'll make the walk to end game all that much more interesting. Now if I could only stop working on these beta weekends...
