So far it has worked out well, but I have not gotten to the extra attacks yet, and have to see how it plays out then.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036410267127948856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-15559833398696738632008-05-26T14:39:00.000-07:002008-05-26T14:39:00.000-07:00Extra hand?

These old fingers don't move as fast as the Nintendo generation as it is, so AoC would be even worse that WoW in that regard.

Then you have the basic attack to complete the combo, and the combo result.<BR/><BR/>1. Hit Sweep button - first attack<BR/>2. Hit Upper Right button - second attack<BR/>3. Sweep executes - third attack<BR/><BR/>Or maybe the first attack you see is a queued attack from a previous button press. I'm not sure, I gave up on melee combat and went back to the Priest of Mitra.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-837873701219684992008-05-23T07:05:00.000-07:002008-05-23T07:05:00.000-07:00That makes sense Rohan.Its funny though since most...That makes sense Rohan.<BR/><BR/>Its funny though since most of my combos that only require me to hit one key deffinitely make my character swing multiple times.<BR/><BR/>My Herald has an early combo that requires me to hit (M) once and it does 3 swings and bring up 3 different floating combat text numbers.Relmsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358853054116842043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-5054297962886715262008-05-22T22:21:00.000-07:002008-05-22T22:21:00.000-07:00"But right now I find that I'm skipping most of th..."But right now I find that I'm skipping most of the combos and just hitting the basic attack buttons."<BR/><BR/>If you're playing a melee class and not using combos, you're not even going to be half as effective as a player using them. It's like comparing a Warrior auto attacking to one that can use Mortal Strike. There is no comparison.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I understand your hotkey clutter issue. I'm having plenty of that. I think it's just a matter of getting the right keymapping setup, though. (Not sure if you know this, but holding alt will show a different hotkey bar. So you could put something in Alt+1, Alt+2, etc, to make things more manageable.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-57724517665918372282008-05-22T12:40:00.000-07:002008-05-22T12:40:00.000-07:00It strikes me that this system would work superbly...<I>It strikes me that this system would work superbly on a console controller or gamepad.

This way I can hit 4 and while I'm automatically doing the follow up attacks I have time to start another combo. <BR/><BR/>There's still a flow to the combat that I don't think I've quite managed to grab but I'm getting closer.Relmsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358853054116842043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-53461215286376510572008-05-22T10:24:00.000-07:002008-05-22T10:24:00.000-07:00Q and E are for 2 additional swings (5 total) for ...Q and E are for 2 additional swings (5 total) for certain classes at later levels. WASD are the default movement keys, with Z and C as strafing.<BR/><BR/>I tend to only use 4-5-6 combos and 7-8-9-0 on bosses only (since you don't really have to move at all on bosses so far.) I also bound shift+1-0 to the secondary action bar and will be putting additional combos and spells there.<BR/><BR/>My biggest complaint with the combat system is feedback. It's hard to see the damage numbers and there's no way to tell which directional swing you're performing and which one you have queued. Mashing buttons will usually give you one additional swing to a shielded side when the npc changes it, but it's hard to time pressing the swing buttons without losing dps time.<BR/><BR/>Ideally I'd like to see either a swing timer or a fast global-cooldown-like timer on the attack buttons.<BR/><BR/><BR/>(I'm also waiting for your post on the chat system, since that's gotta be by-far the worst part of the game) ;)Kadaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826029508824702882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-68438697818169299262008-05-22T10:16:00.000-07:002008-05-22T10:16:00.000-07:00Thanks!Problem with that is that I think at some l...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Problem with that is that I think at some later point Q and E become two other basic attacks (bottom-left attack, bottom-right attack).
