a combat system where you can block :)

[electro]

it would be cool to have the ability to block attacks at the cost of stamina and some durability of your weapon! also, if you succefully block an attack, you get attack speed for your next attack in the next 2 sec. blocking would cost more than attacking .

[Strider]

They are adding shields so should be able to then

[electro]

yess but, blocking with everything would be nice , and the shield would be more efficient

That sounds like and ability you'd have in wow. Because of that, I'm not sure if I like that idea or not.

its actually from chivalry... :)

imean, the combat system between players with melee weapon is kind of crappy :P

[Aschran]

oooh okay, well why not then, but a system where you can block only few % of the attack or people would use only range weapons

true

[electro]

well maybe being able to block attack from little dinoes too like dillos :)

[Aschran]

Well ... dilos are not even dangerous enough for needing to block them as you kill them in 1-2 pike poke,
But well, this could be cool yeah, blocking 30% of a raptor or dilo shoot and losting 30% durability per hit, i would say yes this way
But imagine how easy it would be for tribes to take down dinos or other tribe just by blocking melee attack without consequences..
I'm very curious how they are going to make shield, sword, shield+sword, and having 2 things on your hands can also maybe mean dual swords ..

Despite movies and fantasy games duel wielding swords is highly inefficient and leaves you more open and is slower.

[Aschran]

I totally agree, it will give you a bit more attack power but make you more able to eat damages in your face
But the fact is, we can have it ingame

[electro]

i mean, lets keep the blocking system only for pvp :P

Hmmph well.. i want to find it a use for pve but i can't imagine blocking a medium dino so yeah .. w.w

Anyways, we will have shield, that system does not have a lot of chances to come i guess
