7th Alpha video "Levequests and Party Combat"

[Tonkra]

Just because a game is what you call "mainstream" doesn't mean it's a bad game.

Likewise, just because combat isn't what you call "slow" doesn't mean it's what you call a "spam fest".

You are reading entirely too much into this video. Its only purpose was to show you the party UI. Take a Zanax and chill.

This post explains everything.

you totally misunderstood me i think... i am not saying that i think that ARR combat is too fast.. i was refering to "Hopefully the beta shows a revamped battle system because the system in the video looks boring." what it doesnt to me..

and the other one said " Not a single person in the entire world complains about having a faster internet connection than they used to...so why are you doing the exact same thing with gaming?

Things progress. Deal with it. "

saying that a faster combat is a part of the "modern way of gaming". what it isnt you can design turn based, you can design action combat, you can design a mix between these.
faster does not mean "more modern". its a matter of a design decision.

that you can cast almost any spell as an elementalist in guildwars 2 instant and "on the fly" does not mean, that this system is more "modern"..


thats why i was refering to CoD. because they cry for more "action", "why do i have to stand still while casting?" , "why we cant cast while running?" , "we need more instant bUtt0ns".
why do SE has to do the same like TERA and GW2 with ther Combat system? a conjurer must not be able to cast a wind spell while moving like a crazy chicken.. why, why why..
but it looks like the players want them to do so.

Then I did misunderstand you. I apologize.

My point is still valid, though, even if it doesn't apply to you.
