I love how this game is coming along so far, but I have but one grip that I hope will be fixed.
Combat! Sure, the system is innovative and the animations are believable and interesting, but can we get some power or something? Shake the camera, show the impact of the blow, something to make it feel like i'm in a real fight! |

The shaking of a computer screen gives me (and i'm sure a lot of other people) a headache

Originally posted by EchneinBeta invites are starting to go out, only in house people have experienced the combat, so how does it need to be fixed it you have no experience with it? Also, shaking the camera is only going to give headaches. Every time your character gets hit, just punch yourself or shake your screen manually. |

Just going from what I see in the vids, but I guess you guys are right about the shaking thing. But honestly, you don't think there should be something done to make things feel a bit more powerful? I'm just looking for the sense of power behind these actions, that certain whatever some things have about em that make you think "Damn, that had to hurt!"

Beheading a player is enough for me to know it was powerful. You can take their head or arms off when fighting.

Yeah the slow-mo decapitation scene made me go "
 Hoooolly sh*t......that had to hurt". That was the first combat vid I saw and pretty much sold the game even if everything else was crap. The brutal and visceral battles are pretty in your face compared to any other game out there (i.e. WoW where people just fall down in the same motion when they die). Here when someone gets hit hard by an arrow, it drives into their chest and knocks them to the ground. When someone is about to die, and you take a swing with your halberd at their neck, their head is going to come flying off. That's good enough for me heh. |

Agreed, mounted/siege/raid combat also sold me when I started reading about it more and more.

If anything is assumed to be other than bullshit, theres something wrong with the perspective. |
I think AoC would have been just as great without all the extra voilence. But but

Want Darkfall now! |
Im just so glad there is another combat system in a MMO, everything is beter then static fighting in WoW. And we dont need no shaking camera, the intense feeling from doing the fight "yourself" will be enough |

"At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was." |
I think the combat in this game is gonna be sweet! But I must know something, how will you block an incomming attack, or dodge, will you have to push the write button on your mouse or keyboard, or is there no block or dodge button at all ? anyone know?
