The combat just sucks....

[Sgt_Major]

Played previous beta, tried this one too, just in case I got my first impressions wrong, but nope...

The combat is just plan, boring and bland, it feels "light" "floaty" and just overall "MOBILE" game vibes, its not engaging at all, pressing one button and seeing these auto hit combos coming out, Jesus...

How does combat in a 2024 MMO feel significantly worse than an MMO from 20 years back, I don't even play WoW anymore, but I can tell you right now, I could log back into Classic WoW and feel much more "connected" with my character in combat...

Also, the camera controls just feels so JANKY and off....

Horrible, uninstalled....

can you disable it?

This game would be game changing if it came out in like 2004.
As is, I can make a macro to just spam 1-6, press tab once a minute, and boom, I've got an afk leveling bot made from nothing more than the razer synapse program.

That shouldn't be possible in a 2024 game.

No games should be tab target, auto walk in range of target to use skill, type game.

This is unacceptable

With action camera the combat is terrible, classic mode makes it feel a lot better but it still doesn't hit the mark. uninstalled at level 8

Yeah all the modern mmos are taking that asian mobile button mashy approach with flashy but boring moves that just dont feel like you are doing it. Turning every fight into zergs and everyone dps. I miss the slower and more deliberate fights of games like dark age of camelot or even wow. Like ff14 i dont understand what people like about it, its terrible mindless combat and just running from one npc to the other.

Yep, the game lives and breaths with its combat being engaging, this is not....

Guess I live in hope, either Riot's MMO, Ghost Crawlers new MMO, or perhaps Ashes of Creation might be decent...perhaps even Blue Protocol who knows, but this ain't it!

this games combat reminds me of Bless online lmao its so bad, the UI is overloadet with garbage the shop is garbage and the battle pass is also garbage. i call DOA.
sprint feels like garbage. the bag inventory snatched straight out of tarisland LMAO.
everything in this game feels like trash tbh.

All my hype is reserved for the No Man's Sky/Hello Games MMO (Light No Fire).
Their engine is really cool, the potential is insane.
Hope they can pull it off!

Would not hold my breath, devs know the people most likely to spend money are those easily addicted to quick mindless zergs and endless grinding. The business models dont support normal gamers like before. Gaming has definitely regressed since it became mainstream and is filled with people raised on phones. I just want a great balanced game with rewarding activity, slower more strategic group fighting, but that would mostly just happen with a full priced subscription game, never with an asian microtransaction based game and the west has caught on so its kind of a lost cause.

Its gonna turn into a survival/crafting or some sort of other idiotic modern fad like death penalties for sure because… reason. If they just make it about exploration and forego the previously mentionned fads it does look nice.

Yeah it is way too early to tell how it will swing, but the tech and potential is much higher than a standard asian type tab taget mmo by a mile

For sure, gonna cross my fingers for that one but its definitely more no man’s sky but fantasy with survival crafting then mmo.

I'll admit I'm already starting to feel this way. I do enjoy Staff/Wand to an extent and my actual combat time is short but something about it does feel off to me.

[Iriel]

Sadly that's my impression as well and I also played both beta tests.. The graphics are really beautiful but that alone is not enough.
