Melee in PvP needs MAJOR improvement

Post » Sun Mar 02, 2014 5:12 am

My experience up until pvp has been fairly decent, i think the game is pretty good all around but once i opened up pvp i realized that the combat system that works in pve, is REALLY not adaptable to the pvp experience. Using a two hander it was really difficult to tell when i actually hit something and the act of hitting another player was, well, dull.

Using some of my ability also proved to be quite stale, the assassinate ability and ambush (which didnt work half the time) felt extremely loose and the amount of rubber banding going on is not a lot but its just enough to make a melee fighter lose his mind. There needs to be some sort of slashing animation, making something like the old TK hitstop in skyrim or perhaps some good old blood. All in all hitting other players with my two hander was a really, really lackluster experience.

upon using my bow, along with my bolt ability, however, i was greeted with a much tighter combat feel, i could hear when my arrow hit, and for some reason just seemed like a slightly better combat experience. So for anyone using a ranged weapon primarily, you probably wont understand the distress im going through.

I'm all for blood or some actual impact when hitting things. Feels like you're just selecting an enemy then applying damage rather than actually physically hitting them, and this kind of immersion in combat is what makes great action games great.

I'm astonished people in beta are still unfamiliar with the /bug and /feedback commands.

They pay attention to ingame /feedback even more than posts on the beta forums. Use it, and use it often.
