So I pledged with no intent of playing until release about 28 years ago when the kickstarter first came out. Someone tell me what the combats like.

Is it awful wildstar telegraph poo poo? Awful tera action combat poo poo? (worried about those 2 mostly because they are poo poo with poo poo ping. poo poo) Tab target poo poo? A mix between two or all of these?

I know they talk about how unique and different their combat is, but let's be real, it's not gonna be innovative. Similar but masked well, at best. So tell me now.

Witch Hunter tore my heart out. Such a cool class design... completely worthless in PvP. I loved them so much I wanted to make a sword/pistol thief in gw2, but alas that combo sucked there too :(

The concept of Witch Hunter is my favorite MMO class. The actual playing of one, not so much.

The difference between WH, and WE was that WEs basically either rofflestomped you out of stealth or they didn't. They had 0 sustain, whereas WHs had very similar ability to kill someone out of stealth but weren't completely useless if caught out of it either.


That being said, Shadow Elves or whatever and Engineers where the true shinning turds in the game. 5 boxing Engis and defending a keep "solo" from an entire warband was hilarious and would spend that amount of money monthly again.

It's a mix between classic targeting and some skillshot directional/selectable AOE attacks.

At least in its current form, the CU design team hasn't been shy about changing things if they feel like something else is going to work better based on Alpha feedback, which I can appreciate. Bringing back traditional classes was a big, positive thing for me. I rather have deep customization within the confines of playing a certain well defined role.

It was mostly the fact that multiple bright wizards could stack their persistent aoe spell in one spot and you would get hit by ALL of them if you tried to walk through it that was the main problem. Once you had about 5-6 of them you could just deny choke points to the other side no matter how large their army. Simply comparing the classes to each other bright wizard was not really all that great, it was the idiotic game mechanics that ruined the game.

Even though Chaos usually CRUSHED order, some classes were EXTREMELY good, such as Bright Wizard and Knights of the Blazing Sun, and some were TERRIBLE, such as Witch Hunter.

They never did fix the balance.

I don't think you played WAR at any high level, witch hunters did crazy damage with %50 attack speed bonus.

This. On defense if you just had 5 or 6 engineers on your ramparts, everything died anyway. Worst off, if someone broke the door down, KoTBS could just stand there with Hold the Line up while WP dumped heals into them until the end of time.

That sounds pretty solid, thanks. I think the classic approach is more desirable now that we've all gotten the "We Need Action Combat" out of our system. I tried all of them and aside from Neverwinter (which was at its core just flashy tab targetting,) they never really came together in the same way tab targeting games do.

Is playtime still limited to just the friday night stuff, or are the servers up more frequently than that? I'm in other betas and alphas, but none of them have really clicked with me and this is the game I am most curious about. Is it worth $60 to jump into right now?

As Orv said, no.

To elaborate, there is no classes in the game yet. You can muck around with some of the skill design stuff and use it on other players but its really just in the game to entice the internal and alpha testers to log in and test the net code and major crashes. Which is rock solid as of dragoncon week.

I believe the next weeks they will be showcasing classes one by one but who knows when they will be in the alpha. Also the cool animations and melee combat features are not in yet.
So yeah, don't get it yet

Now, it is early to offsite. But seriously, maybe we should get a list up? Erev running mostly Arthurian.

I don't think there is a need for an offsite till there is a game with enough substance that warrants constant goon participation. CU is getting there, but it's not there yet.

In related news, CU just hired the 2 senior programmers they have been looking for, which should begin speeding things along nicely.
