Worst Combat system i ever experienced,

[CocoJambo (Mute)]

Why this game is so bad in a decade of development , combat system is the worst i ever seen , Why they couldnt do something like Black Desert to feel the combat or even New World is a lot better , this one worst ever , feels like mobile game , i tried and i cant play it , far to bad

[Nostromo]

Thanks OP, yeah I was trying to convince myself to keep playing, but the combat is just so vanilla, mid at best...and now just to add insult to injury, we're down in Japania it seems - just a special FU-Maintenance for us...? Game over man, game over!

Worst Combat system and still playing the game... cant be that bad

[Mr.JackBone]

BDO, archeage, GW2 are the trinity of the best combat gameplay in an mmorpg.
honorable mention to tera as it was the best action mmorpg at it's time.

bdo best action.
archeage best tab target.
gw2 best hybrid.

I can walk away from the computer and let it play itself. Auto target FTW

I'm just stunned that we're still basically playing EverQuest in 2024. that tab target combat system will just never die and MMOs will never evolve.

i still visit norrath outta pure nostalgia fixes lol

Same, it always feels good to be back home. Even if for only a little while.

You are either trolling or you are completely clueless about gaming...

Either way, with an ignorant comment like yours, you instantly lose all credibility.

BDO does have the best combat system it's just a shame the rest of the game is so awful it can't be carried by that alone. Still makes me want to go back to it from time to time though I know better than to do that. I wish more games would pick up on it and make combat that fluid but it seems it's going to pretty much always be the same tab target 1234567890 I was doing 23 years ago.

If terrible meant the best ever in all of MMO history...then yes.

is not he two must popular mmo's tab target?

Totally receptive to advice here - but i feel like im dumb as hell when it comes to the combat in this.

The targeting as people have mentioned is whack - i'll try some of the settings people have suggested.

I tell you what though - I can NOT make sense of the lists of weapon skills vs weapons. I changed from greatsword which had the weapons and have longbow as a secondary (not by choice) and if i switch, the weapon skills dont switch across. Then there's other layers of skills and i just cant make sense of it.

I've played most mmo's over many years but dont recall ever having had this much pain to comprehend a combat system.

Also the skill usage - keys 1,2,3,4,5 etc for primary weapon, like 678 for the secondary. But then it mixes in Q for defence (which isnt bad) but what the hell i the E skill?

The Q + E then the numbers together makes it feel so bad.

Then skill 2 is a charge skill that feels so out of place in the list.

Surely i'm missing something here? Maybe age has caught up with me, but this game has me boggling.

I feel like you need to tweak the settings to get it "feeling right". They have a ton of settings but not sure why they didn't make some default. Either way, can't please everyone.

Combat system is good you just have to leave the one the you're used to play with.

[wwwboi]

Lol the OP is trolling.

It has nothing to do with being "outdated", that's the same as saying the old Final Fantasy games being turn-based was "outdated" and the action system now is the "evolution", they're essentially just 2 different subgenres.
It's like saying platform games are outdated and shooters are the evolution of that.

You prefer real-time action combat in a MMORPG, so this game isn't catered to you, why aren't you playing the games on the market that do have that system?
Tab targeting just makes an entirely different combat dynamic and gameplay than action, has nothing to do with time.

It is outdated, there's a million of them and they've been doing it since 1999. This is a case of them not moving on and trying new things very few even bothered.

This is like how back in the day you had to accept that if a game was an RPG it would have ass combat and that was just part of the deal, but guess what? times changed and RPG's evolved and now it's not just a sacrifice that needs to be made, you can have both.
