Wake me when there's a bard class.
Proud MMORPG.com member since March 2004! Make PvE GREAT Again!
Class design is very important but this video does absolutely nothing to show me cohesion of abilities and game design.I need to to know how everyuthing works together,like instead of the always crappy play videos take some time to actually explain one class at a time and what they are doing with abilities within a group.
I don't want to see a video of 5-6 people introducing themselves then watching combat with no idea what is actually going on or what COULD be going on.Studios are just real bad at explaining their game and mechanics,like ALWAYS.
So i guess i am supposed to figure the video out on my own.So the punch strikes are straight forward the obvious first dmg auto ability.I saw some kind of power attack which showed no feedback o nthe dummy.I also saw a roundhouse kick also with no feedback on the dumy.Certain abilities NEED to show their impact otherwise they are all simple strikes with a different animation.Really no different than heal 1 heal 2 heal 3 exact same thing just a bigger number.
These designers need to separate each ability so that it is very defining and not lik i said just another attk doing dmg but with different animations.
So...... if they were at all any good with the design the power attack would knock back the enemy.The roundhouse kick would stun the enemy that way all 3 attacks are very defining and recognized.
Oh and the Chakra effect,i approve and there can be various chakra effects such as perhaps the energy from within magic attack,perhaps a healing chakra perhaps a stun chakra etc etc.I also approve of the slower buildup of energy that comes off as plausibly real.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The animations look good. Nothing... exciting about them except that FALCON PUNCH. If I end up playing this and this class, I'm definitely shouting that into discord chat everytime I use it. :P
Right track just adjust and I'm good.
This is merely a video list of Monk abilities. If you want a detailed explanation of the Monk class this is the best video out there.
The light coming from represents the spiritual magic(chi/chakra) of which the class is based. Monk isn't some mere brawler utilizing brute force to defeat foes. They utilize a type of magic to turn their body into a living weapon.
I personally don't believe the ability animations need to be sped up but maybe need to be more smooth and fluid.
I havent seen one of their vids in awhile, but the ones in the past it took forever to kill anything....I guess it doesnt matter if you are armed or not most likely.
That's working as intended.
Admittedly, I don't know a lot about this game. It seem to fall off the map for a bit. The video you posted showed attacks are faster than they seemed to be in the demonstration video. In your video you are right, it does not "need" to be sped up... but I do think it could used a little more speed.
A lot of what i see is a lot like everquest games are meant to be...I liked everquest 2 also but the start of that game was crazy horrible vs everquest they made it totally impossible to upgrade your spells and making money in the game was so horrible i spent like 8hours one day harvesting rocks to try to find a rare to make a higher lvl of spell and never found one...
I mean hell i learned how to spell on everquest since i had no choice i did not learn how to spell and read at school since i am a little slower on learning some stuff but I am really hoping for the best with this game.
One of the things i think that ruin games to day is all the voice chat program's out there now like discord,ventrillo and all the rest to be it makes me fill like ppl are lazy and they can't type... that's one thing i loved about everquest when it first came out everyone had to type...Even if they sucked at spelling lol...
But yes i would prefer they do a early release at this time i am starting to wounder if this games ever going to come out esp ally with (Brad) passing away....He was a true hero to all gamers and should have a statue built at all the big gaming event cents since he was the one who pretty much made it so they could do what they do it day
To me (Brad) was a hero and any real gamer should respect him for what he has done...he changed the gaming world forever and brought out one of our best new worlds ever...

A request for a better video,better information on a class within a grouping game within a MMO is not the same as posting facts lol,i mean geesh i am still wondering wtf are you on about?
Quit poking insults on stuff you just MAKE up ,like saying i am not worried abotu facts,i am most certainly worried about facts that is the whole point of my post,so try harder when insulting people instead of just making up crap.

None of the above?
Ashes most probably.

Realistic? Where are the judo throws and holds, or prone grappling for a dagger? Even just knock the enemy down and let the fat kid sit on them to keep an opponent out of the fight. If these are there, I haven't seen (or read) about them. They're adding a class that uses a fist/kick attack which is no different from a sword, mace or staff.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
