Why does the combat seem to be in slow motion?

Will the attack speed be increased in the future?

I doubt it. They seem to be after a more tactical methodical kind of combat in all the playtests so far.

But it is still alpha so who knows?

Hopefully not, as the game is balanced around this. Otherwise you're going to get straight bombed by any two melee.

But I saw that the sorcerer maybe with an ability he can kill you with a spell that launches several hits in a row (or something like that) I literally couldn't even move and he killed me in half a second, isn't that unbalanced?

Yes I agree, the idea of the game is good but the combat feels horrible, it feels like a game from 20 years ago or something. Luckily it's going to be a free game because I would hardly pay for it in its current state. And according to what people told me, they practically didn't add anything new since the last test

They added a completly new map design, new monster, a new spell system, changed spawn and matchmaking, Enemy ai and added a new event. also the combat is supposed to be slow so that ppl like u who like to spam just one action over and over again without thinking stay away. Gday

Surely the few people who are left playing will have to pay a lot in micro transactions or dlc to keep this game alive. If it is a game created for a minority like you, it will have a very bad future in the market.

been playing for 2 hours now, i really love the slow combat.
It makes you think twice before you slam the mouse button.
The only thing that makes me wonder, is how are we gonna counter magic spells??

I think the gameplay feels good right now, but the ANIMATIONS feel slower than they should. If your sword hits something its animation does feel like slow motion, it grinds to a halt and it looks so badly made, hopefully it gets fixed because it's jarring.
