I like a lot of the ideas in BDO but I just can't get past the combat system. I hate multiple key assignments, it's one of the worst things we get with bad console ports. So BDO using W or S as part of the key combo's is just bad design as far as I'm concerned. It's just not an intuitive system and it spoils the game for me.
It's a real shame because there's a lot to like about BDO but that combat system is just utter shite. I mean press Q, then S and RMB, just NO.
For years this game was touted as second coming of Sandbox MMO , true Next Gen ... and so on.
The game graphic is obviously best ever seen in MMO , Character creation unparalleled , it has action based combat , it will be B2P which is by now largely agreed as best model ...
So please explain me - someone that knows next to nothing about this game - Why I am suddenly seeing so much negativity , what is wrong with the game ?
The minority of haters is too loud. They yell very loud with every game. Every time a new themepark releases they tear it apart because its too similar to WoW. GW2 changed all that and the same minority of loud haters tore it a new one because thats not what they wanted. Now a proper sandbox launches in NA/EU and the same minority of loud haters are tearing it apart because they want WoW's hand holding in every mmo.
Just ignore the haters because their opinion is irrelevant. They contradict themselves with every new game that tries something different from the overlord WoW, but they dont want to play WoW either.
if you think FFA permadeath full loot bbq defines a sandbox, which im sure it crossed your mind, you are sadly wrong.
Not at all, but the stupid black spirit alone makes it not so sandbox. Getting npc s to do your work , not so sandbox. Hybrid sure but proper sandbox, nope.

Yes i should have said its a hybrid, but the sandboxy elements in the game are more in depth than the other games that offer it out there. Excluding EVE because to me that is not a game.
