PLAYER fight, and NOT the game.
Just my two tria
Sorry.. I have to disagree...
In my opinion should GAME fight... cause its RPG, where depends on character's skills, not on players.
Its not realistic, when weak character, but skilled in PvP kills someone trained, just cause OOC reasons and player's PvP knowlidge.
For player's skills are here 3D shooters games...
Just my opinion...
Youre right, its a roleplaying game. so
I want to be the one, who roleplays my character. Of course, I cannot control every action of my character, some things have to be controlled by the game itself, how good you block an attack, how hard you hit, your success in dodging... all this is related to your stats and skills and it also should be, since this is an RPG, a genre, which always demanded the use of those. but there are other games, like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for example. You decide, when you slash, and you decide, when its time to rise your shield, you run around and use the environment to your advantage, etc... . Im not saying "hey, lets advice the devs to copy this or that game's combat system", but why not saying "lets lookout for elements, that have been successful and interesting in other games", in order to be constructive in this thread.
Personally I would like to hit my shortcut and slash, I would like to hit another one and rise my shield. Not implemented yet, i know
, but your weapons would do that job too and until shields are fully implemented to the game, it should also be possible, although not very realistic, to block an axe, with a dagger.
The best combat system, is a good-balanced one between character skill AND player skill, if you ask me, and the the previous PS combat system, did offer you that. If you werent good in one of the 2 skills, it might have happened, that youve been owned by another player. But both skills were trainable, and it was so much fun, to develop both of them and to reverse the outcoming of a fight against your "owner".
Again: It shouldnt be only one of the two skills, that dominate a combat system.
@Datruth: Please calm down mate, i know how you feel, a dream would come true, if we got the old system back, but getting excited like this, is not a solution to our current position, it just makes the people ignore you or laugh at you, for getting pissed that easily. Calm down, and lets talk, not argue. And I want to make this suggestion not only to Datruth, but to everyone posting here.
