AOC controls and skills not user friendly !!

commando991

I just been playing AOC for about 2 weeks now.

and the game control style is not user friendly it is not mouse control point and click style at all !

you have to use keyboard mostyl to control the movement of your char and they have it set so mouse it just used for camera angle......which most 90% mmo gamers are used to mouse control and point and click style then this style., this style personaly using keyboard control makes me dizzy specialy in pvp !

Skills: you have 4 to 5 arrow keys to do different attack with normal attacks with weapons and bows......you aslo have your power skills too, and out those power skills there is at least 2 that does not use the arrow keys to activate them, ....."yes" thats right you gotta press the power skill first then the arroiw keys that asigned to them to acivate them which in fast action pvp cause a delay in performance for pvping or single pk.

and this cause alot gamers to get confused and upset with the game cause of it cause some times you miss the correct arrow key to acivate your skill and as you levelup the skills adds on more arrow key fuaction making it hard and more of a slower delay time to acivate the power skill.

this game is not like archlord or lineage 2 or wow or cabal online or other games.....its control style is the worest I evern seen and tried out in any type of mmo game.

and you dont have it in the settings to switch to mouse point and click for movement and you cant diable the arrow key bs so you can just use power skills wihtout the arrow keys.

when your in a pvp battle with another gamer or multi gamers at once the arrow key to acivate a power skill takes to long to do cause they add on to many arrow fuctions to acivate the skills and by the time you do the other gamer has used normal attack on you taking your hp over half way down and then your dead cause they used a power skill on you !!!

I have 1 14 year old son and another thats 18 years old ...they both tried the game and my 14 year old weas the first to say dad I like the game grpahics and the pvp fighting but I dont like the way the game controls are and how we have to use arrow keys to acivate our power skills.

the 18 year old said the same thing as well....they both rather go back to archlord or Cabal usa/canada version game and have fun with more easy and user friendly control system and skill sytem then be bothered with a game that has to much thing for you to do to activate 1 power skill !.....and they like it more to use mouse point and click movement style then keyboard !!!

so needless to say I'm gonna just play the game to use up the time I have for the 30 days I got from buying the game cd and after that I am done with the game my self and Im a huge fan of conan the movies and comics !....but when it came to the game makers of AOC they must of been stoned out of their heads when they made this game with messed up unuser friendly control system and arrow keys to acivate a power skill !!!

if I would knew right away that the game has you using keyboard to character movement and  arrow keys to just acivate 1 power skill and how it adds on more arrow keys for you press as you levelup before you can acivate the skill !....thats just stupid !!

makes it more complicated to play and makes less enjoyable as well.

and I take my appions from gamers thats are kids from the age of 14 to 18 and 25 years of age...and when gamers that love to pk and pvp alot like these kids do and they try AOC and dont want to bother it any more after a few days of play.... that says some thing right there about the game !

it also makes me think why they dont got alot gamers playing AOC right off when it first came out ?

I even read some of their forums about it too same as just what I typed here....and not only that the game company wont let you activate your account right off unless you email their support first and you cant login to their forums either before you contact their support team as well !!

so as for my review about AOC I give thumbs up for the graphics and the no penalty for pvp and pk....but for the control part and arrow keys to acivate a power skill I give thumbs down !!

and I look for performance more in a game then graphics and any one can do graphics !

There probably should be an optioin for you click to move guys but in my opinion I think click to move was one of the worst things to happen to 3d MMO's.  I grew up playing FPS games though so I guess I was used to WASD controls.

I absolutely will never play a game that doesnt allow you to use mouse/keys to move.  If its click to move, I avoid it like the bubonic plague.
