What does "fluent" mean? If you mean the attack should trigger immediately upon pressing the key, then every auto-aimed attack would automatically hit. There's no point to aim-based attacks at that point.

This is indeed one of the issues that we felt with the system as well, but we're less sure what a "well thought out" attack would actually do differently.

Or you just have a relatively high ping to the server, which is indeed one of the things we fear is a problem.

What does that mean? Are you referring to the animation, or what? Is combat good if we remove the animation?

Added plum stockpile.

Why just to not add generic fruit stockpile? Like we have for stones or flowers for example.

Oh, to add to this: Would be cool if variant stockpiles adopted the model of whatever it's composed of, too. i.e a stone stockpile made of gniess would look like what currently exists, but one of basalt would look black- and a mixture would look partially black/partially grey
the proliferation of automation is the rot of this game, with the next worst thing being the filth that plays it (you, probably.)

W7 - Hermit
W8 - Co-LS of R'lyeh, Owner of the Hermitarium Knowledge Group
W9 - LS of Niflheim
W11 - Hermitage (named Niflheim)
W12 - Hermit -> some rando ass village i forgot the name of that i joined
W10,13-15 - N/A

Because more individual stockpiles look nicer?

between us you was trying fight in that combat when running? i think no its rly impossible to shot anyone with move cursor on him or shift + attack when he running its just impossible.
[*]You attack in the direction of your mouse cursor. should be deleted and combat will look same just one opening. So that combat is bad for haven imo

with fluent i mean no stopping of movement. imagine being followed 2v6 and every attack you do you stops you for 1/3 seconds thats a quick death.

In Salem, we had an attack that in itself included a fast "jump" towards the destination (and corresponding stun period if you missed to keep it from being just a faster way to move around than walking), so I'd imagine we would add something like that.

Well again, if the attack is instantaneous, then given auto-aiming, there's literally no point to the attacks being aim-based, no? The wind-up delays are what makes it meaningful.

When will we get stockpiles for persimmons? 2042?
