Game Development: Combat System

[Caradon]

What? Theres going to be a reset? Well now i just don't feel like playing if it's all going to up and dissapear.

Seriously,, really? This has ALWAYS been a test, that they have allowed us to keep our characters from May/June is just amazing, considering.

And I suspect we'll get another character and map reset come character LP gain change.

OK, my first feedback on the new combat system: it's cluttered. Seems like a lot of it is redundant, should be just a couple of buttons for offence/defence. Also, I think it would be more interesting if special moves are about buffs/debuffs/removing debuffs.

[DeadlyPencil]

animals do quite a bit of damage now, a cow did 135 damage to me (i dont have armour on my nooby). has anyone fought a herd of cows with their main and seen what happens?

Yes, that is already planned. I'll just have to implement a way to be able to place buffs on individual fighting relations first.

[Potjeh]

Dunno, I actually think that it would be better if the (de)buffs weren't per individual combat relation, so they're useful for team tactics.

I like the new combat, possible to
survive with 100 UA vs 300 UA if
you're smart, However i miss my
ranged weapons being of any use
at all. Since their damage wasn't
modified i can't do much to anyone
past unarmored with any ranged
weapon at all.

Using the new system it's possible
to get away from far stronger
players by running, sliding, and
getting to the nearest river to cross
and gain a sufficient lead on the
attacker. Given there's only one
attacker...

[Wolfang]

yeah ranged weapons should become easier to use against other players...

[NaoWhut]

Or get penetration damage.
