2.0 Movement inertia: Removed

[Radnar]

First off, no, I don't really have a lot of PvP experience. PvP is not exactly what I look for in a MMORPG, and I haven't bothered with it since waaaaay back in Ragnarok Online. What I was talking about at the end of my post was WoW's PvP, solely based on what I have seen of it. I wouldn't bother with it, because, well... pretty much everything I've seen is outright hideous to me. All I've managed to see is pretty much what I described: people running about in erratic ways while chasing their target and trying to keep 'em in sight and slamming away at one or two keys as soon as their spells/abilities are back up, which takes like a second or so. If the PvE there also ends up that way, well... wow... then that is just sad.

I'd seriously like to know how the animations were a hinderance, btw, seeing as they didn't really affect movement at all and were a purely aesthetical thing.

Thank you for being honest. However, you must realize that saying you have no experience with and no interest in PvP does not lend credence to your position.

You say that you do not understand how the animations were a hinderance. I am telling you they are. I have tried to explain in the most general terms possible how they are, both for you and others previously on page 8, but there is only so much raw explaination can do if you do not care to understand the foundation-level material.

I would encourage you to go play any sort of competitive-PvP game out there - be it SC2, LOL, CS, GW2, or, yes, even WoW - and actually spend time trying to get good at it. Fight with good players, and talk with them about it. After about three months, think back about how your gameplay experience would be "changed" if, every time you changed direction, there was a game-enforced 1-second lag time. At that point, you will probably at least understand what I am saying, even if you don't agree with it (I acknowledge that there are some people out there who like their PvP encounters to be more RNG-driven than others).

Edit:

Please don't talk as if all pvp are twitch-based, because they aren't.

Please show me where I claimed all PvP is twitch-based.
