I don't know yet... but there is indead hidden die rolls.



     

    With hidden dicerolls i mean lvl vs lvl.

    There is nothing that forbids you from hitting if you strike at someone with a weapon. If its in your reach, you will hit it. Same for blocking, if you put the shield between yourself and the opponents weapon.....its a block. Skills just add more damage or decreses the stamina drain.

    This begrudging wow in every other game's discussion forums is really getting old...

     

    The rules of Debate are really simple; once you have to stoop to insults instead of facts, logic, or reason to try and win your argument, you've lost.

    I hate people that don't give games a second chance, when they have a bad experience they just leave and never look back, this is what killed vangaurd, a great game atm, but no one plays it. Savage 2 updated their melee system to seem more like the S1 melee system. Its definitely not as good as S1's melee system, but unlike before, it actually takes skill (dodging was made like 10x more effective so its kindof like a "leap", you can no longer "interupt", and blocking no longer stuns but negates damage)

     

    Anyway to the people who say takes no skill (though it does compared to the other forms of war in DF), try crouch dodging attacks and jumping over them too (i heard you can jump over horizontal swings, and its confirmed that you can crouch dodge a horizontal swing)

     

    I can agree on the Vanguard part. A truely awesome game that didn't get the rep it deserved. It had it's flaws but it still stands out as one of the best PvE MMORPG's out today in my opinion. As for Savage 2. The simplified combat style is not my thing even with an overhaul. The idea behind it was awesome. Probably one of the best ideas i have seen in a game in decades. The only problem it has was dumbed down combat. If it had the finesse of the best class based MMO's out there it would have been a sure winner

    Last I heard Df only had one hit box. So if someone is aiming for the head there a noob. Just aim for the groin. Unless players jumper higher than mike itll hit there feet and there neck when they duck. win win situation.

    And I never played Savage but AoC pwns all melee combat.  3 vs 1 earlier today.  1 archer and 2 knights vs my footman.  Im floating like a butterfly between them and stinging the archer like a bee. Then suddenly bam cut off the archers head. I duck and watch the knight chop off his friends head then I stabed the last knight in the back.   

    Thats real melee combat.   I like mmorpgs but combat always sucks in em. Who cares if its fps or top down or 1.2.3.4 button spaming with cooldowns.  It still takes 50 presses of a key to kill someone. And aiming in the general direction of someone (which is what DF and Conan have) while spaming a button 50 times isnt amazing combat.

    Try the game out. Everyone has HL2. Its a common fact that dolphins own atleast two copies.  Download Age of Chivalry. And experince the uberness that is skilled melee combat.

    There are no hidden dicerolls based on lvl vs lvl in wow.

    For every level your character gains in wow, it gains more defence rating too. The reason why a low level character will miss a high level character a lot in wow is because of this defence rating.

    It's clear that you don't like a level based game. This doesn't mean that level based games are not good, it just means that it isn't your taste.

    From the sounds of it the Developers and players of DF seem to think repeatedly clicking the left mouse button is revolutionary...

  • Ajacks_USAjacks_US Member Posts: 37

    Darkfall combat consists rocks trying to run close enough to other rocks to hit them, then either circle strafing or backpedaling.

    If anyone thinks this combat is "new and revolutionary" they should be sent to play Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, if not an older title.

    I'd rather hold out for a Planetside 2 or such clone, fun game that has been plagued with poor developer support on part of $OE.

    A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

    how so?

     

    I don't understand how you can make an argument against the combat system, if you have not participated in said combat system. Any information you bring to the table is merely conjecture and heresay, and is not valid at all.

    Tell me where i was wrong in my assessment then.

     

    You can't. Its two swings and a blue ball.

    Yet you fail to see his point or answer his questions as well.

    For myself, I had about 20 hours towards the end of beta of play time. I was not in beta, but used a friends account.

    The game lacks depth and many skills lack utility. It is more about different ways to do direct damage rather then gaining tactical advantages and perfecting strategies.

    Hopefully they will increase the utility components of combat (blocking, CC, coordination tactics) added the needed depth to make this an RPG rather then a giant CS knife fight. I will wait for the NA release before I make a final decision to play or scrap this game. In it's current state it is rather shallow in every aspect. This is fine for some people and I am glad they are having fun, but it falls far far short of the praise that some on here are giving it. Best MMO ever it clearly is not.

    Having played both savage2 and DF, I agree with the OP... it does have more depth of combat even with the simple mechanics that have nothing to do with the tech tree (right click dodge/charge, active purposeful blocking, attack combos) that make even the most basic combat engaging.

    -Atziluth-

    - Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
