Combat is horrible

[PurpleMonkey]

I actually love the way the game looks, but is it just me or is the the combat just horrible?
its so static. i realy hope they adjust this because for me this is a reason not to play this game.

They won't change combat. This game is couple of years old so it will stay as it is.

Combat feels very nice to me. Stop crying

It's more or less like SWTOR. The skill bar is so long that action combat mode is troublesome. And you can't really watch your cooldowns because you also have to watch when to do defense interrupts.

No it does not all it is is hitting cd attacks and buff and use cd attacks. It's very stale combat but game looks good and questing is the same ole same ole.

It's absolutely horrible my head hurts trying to play it because I can't find a single good synergy between weapons and skills. I feel like you can just press anything and win the fight (pve)

But in other mmorpg's like it feels like you should press certain things at certain times and theres like a rotation. I am not feeling that here. I could be wrong and playing it wrong but after 2 beta tests now. I just can't. It's horrible feeling combat to me and I can't force myself to play and see if it gets better later lol.

Shame because everything else feels amazing and looks great too.

That combat though...it's just UGH. I have a headache lol. Just uninstalled as I know I am not going to get on with this.

Combat is good, and i will just assume the people that say it is bad is because they are too used to action combat, so clearly this game is not for you if you prefer action combat you can always go BDO.

Man literally described 80% of mmos lmfao...the only ones not like this are action combat, but this game was always going to be tab target, thats what NCSoft does.

I actually hate action combat in mmorpgs lol. I closed BDO after about 1 hour knew it wasn't for me. ToL on paper is everything I love but I just can't take to this combat at all. Then again I am very picky with mmorpg's lol. The only 2 I have really ever liked and got addicted to were WoW and FFXIV. I did like Rift as well but well that kinda went downhill

SWTOR didnt try to have fake action combat, thats always been a tab target mmo with very straight forward stuff, this just looks like a mobile game rip or something
