Lol at the 1970 sound effects. Is this what sandbox has become? From combat alone I would say that the game has a hard road ahead.
here is another one

Im sorry but that dying seal noise in the backrgound is horrible. Is that a feature?

NO NO man, thats like the best combat video ever. Look at the strategy and technique going on. Amazing!
Talk about an LMB spamfest....
Is that a joke? It's like Rock'em Sock'em Robots combat. They certainly won't be winning any awards for graphics, animations, or sound - not many for combat depth either, for that matter.
I sincerely hope the rest of the game is a LOT better than that.

I was more interested in this game due to the crafting-ish features, but combat is primarily the mechanic people most look at to start, and this is very much virtual rock'em sock'em robots. I guess if they want to downplay combat and accentuate crafting, this is a good way of doing that.
Is it wrong that I genuinely laughed out loud...
After seeing that video, no jury in the world would convict you....

Wow. I didnt think combat could seem crappier than Fallen Earth, but guess I found it. If its crafting you want, stick with Fallen Earth, but if it's combat in a sandboxy world, maybe the jury's still out.
Yes, that combat video did remind me of. . .
Striving for Silver Stars since Gold is so effeminate.
Oh my goodness.. There are no words to describe what I just saw and heard other than I now want to rip my eyes out and violently stick chop sticks in my ears.
I only saw one person attacking in that video the player at the bottom of the screen was just hitting block over and over again.
Seriously how do you judge a games combat system on that one video its like watching a video of WoW with two characters auto attacking and judging it totally on that.

People have their minds made on up on games long before video even hits, and when it does, it's always some dude trying to give the worst impression possible. People still eat it up.
Like Mortal Online, for all the problems it does have, combat speed is not one of them when you use anything beyond the starter axe. So of course, all the combat vids featured the starter axe to get their points across.

All I see is that it need some tweaking, no major issues though. Fighting itself need to slow down a big so parry and blocking are usefull to use and people need to walk slighty faster in combat more. The game is in beta (or pre-release however you wanna call it) for 3 days now. Love how people tend to quickly jump on stuff like this and blow it up.
It doesn't look THAT bad if you think of the games concept... Needs allot of work though.

That's not a video trying to make the game look bad. It's a video trying to show the game off. It's on the Xsyon forums and negative posts seem to be deleted.
I'd hate to see a video that makes the game look bad.

Looks and sounds like darkfall, more or less; with less circling.
LOL and this is the game most people on this forum is talking about saying that its better than Darkfall and Mortal online, please dont make me laugh... to late I am already laughing since I just watched the video HAHA.
Well, it is a discussion board. Without a working crystal ball, it's a little difficult to discuss what it may be. Besides, I don't believe anyone said "hey, look at this crappy, impossible-to-change, permanent combat system". They put the game out there to be seen, and we can only discuss what it currently is.
When it becomes something different, well, then I'm sure that will be discussed, too. Right now, it looks very simplistic, and quite bad.
Some thicker skin might be in order for a few folks as well.

Comon, anything is better than Mortal Online, though.
No.. No thats not true, I don't have my mind made up at all.. I'm very much so interested in this game. I don't see very many combat videos out.. but the 2 videos I've seen have been this one, and the other one with the glaring bug issue where the guy lost all his skills. Purportedly both videos appear to be PvP.. I have yet to see any PvE content. Maybe someone who's in beta would be so kind to post more videos of the "good" aspects of PvP and PvE ...
this.
although lets face it flicking through margaret thatchers images on google, is a lot more fun than playing MO....

Maybe there's no PvE in the game yet. I'm thinking it may be just a big, open world with a few other players running about at the moment.
The only screenshots I've seen of PvE are on the website and who knows how old they are or what conditions they were produced under.

This.
All features are currently disabled except a select few (logging, terraforming, PvP, scavenging, hiding (might be temp disabled due to some bugs with it that are easy to fix), resource gathering).
Sounds like an alpha not a beta.
Anyway, do you REALLY believe you will get this game release ready and polished in 1 month time like you announced; when you said most features are not yet finished *80% i heard last*, but who knows if your pulling an MO with your talk.
Call me skeptical but it seems like your stringing people along with unreasonable timelines. Everything that has been shown to the public looks buggy, unstable and unpolished.
This is just unacceptable. MMO fans deserve something better.

Totally agree, they are working on them and all the features are not in yet for combat.

Hard to tell without actually playing but it seemed resposive to the players actions. Havn't seen any range combat of anykind though would be good to see how that works.
