Alpha First Look: Video 7 – Levequests and Party Combat

[Triairy]

Solo guildleves and party combat are the subject of the seventh installment in our Alpha First Look video series.

Much like the quests introduced in our Quests and Combat video, levequest objectives are displayed in the Duty List, and will update automatically as you make progress. The towering enemies engaging our heroes in mortal combat are but a taste of the fearsome foes players can look forward to facing.



* The battles in this video involve low level enemies. Targeting and actions are demonstrated with the mouse instead of keyboard for greater clarity.

* The battle system is currently undergoing significant revision, including changes to all damage algorithms and the claim system.

* The music played during combat is different than the music currently implemented in the alpha.

When animation blending and physics is implemented I really hope that twitching gets toned down on monsters lol.

Aaaaaaand combat does indeed look like a spamfest. Do people really want it to be even faster/more spam-happy than that? :/

[Shiggysonson]

Needs some skillchains and limit breaks!

All (most) MMO's are spam You know why? because every MMO I play, I used the same moves and spam them 121231123444322123, From WoW, to Aion, to Rift to Linage.... All the same.. even FFXIV and soon to be FFXIV: ARR. Spam doesn't really mean how fast you do it.. Spam is how many time you do the same thing.

In life we spam too... Wake up> Eat> Work>Eat again>Something in-between> Sleep then Repeat .

The question becomes, is the game good enough to deal with said spam?
