Fighting dynamics of this game ...

Post » Sun Feb 09, 2014 7:12 pm

I would like to know what other people think of the in game fighting dynamics, from what i've seen so far it's extremely basic point and click until your enemy or you are dead. - there doenst seem to be any real control of the fight other than running around and clicking until your finger falls off. even with spells, you get 2 spells in and you are out of juice ....

so in summary I feel that this battle system was made for a 2yr old who can click a mouse.

Am i completely wrong here ?

You must be doing something terribly wrong.

I don't know if you think that's what the TES series has been "made for a 2yr old".. hrm.. look at those games and think about the differences.
In all TES games (afaik) you have one attack and one power attack, block and bash (of spells instead). Here you can do that too, but you also have 6 (not including weapon swap) skills.

I haven't played yet, downloading the beta right now, but nothing that I have seen suggest that your breakdown and summary of the game is accurate.

From what i have seen in videos(and leaked ones) i can say without a doubt that the combat is very easy and has a incredibly low skill cap.

The only way to miss is to aim wrong and keep on aiming wrong, if you aim towards your opponent at the start of a attack animation(especially funny with power attacks) then just run 10meters away from the same enemy/mob you will still hit it, the combat holds your hand an incredible amount and sure hope this is fixed for a higher skill cap. No matter how bad you are you will hit your opponent as it is now.

Also all the aim based abilities i have gotten can only be activated when you are actually looking at an enemy, you cannot do them while you are out of range and you cannot miss. Once again incredibly low skill cap.

You cannot have such a basic aiming system and only 5abilities, the combat in the game is by far it's worst point and combat in an MMO is very important.

Otherwise the game seems to be very well done, but with combat like this PvP and PvE will be boring as hell.
