* {{Altitis}}: First-time players may suffer from this. There are five "Callings" (which follow the usual RPG "Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Cleric" thing, plus the fifth Primalist), which are to souls (classes) as [[SuperTrope Super Tropes]] are to tropes. Each Calling has 8 distinct souls by default (with up to 3 additional souls purchasable using credits), and you (eventually) get to pick three of them to use in combination. So, you're probably going to be doing a fair bit of tinkering to see not only which Calling is right for you, but which combination of souls is best for you. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that creating a single character gives you access to exactly 20% of all possible character configurations for a token fee. If you want to see and try everything, you only need five different characters, which is more than most {{MMORPG}}s can say.

Even watered down to casual level play as part of an [[PickUpGroup "Intrepid Adventure"]], and [[ZeroEffortBoss presented in a format]] it's nigh impossible to ultimately ''[[ZeroEffortBoss lose]]'' to, he's still a hell of a cinematic set piece, and a meat grinder easily capable of [[OneHitKill killing]] inattentive party members ''[[DeathIsCheap repeatedly]]'' - [[ClimaxBoss at the end]] of a gauntlet that will [[FinalExamBoss test]] ''all'' your basic and core play skills.
