Alpha First Look: Video 8 – Instanced Dungeons

[Duelle]

Yea, well, the forums have been shit since they launched. You think these forums are bad? You should see the......"other" one.

All I will say is the A LOT of people are not happy with the combat system in its current, ALPHA, form. Beta will add missing elements so I would just recommend people waiting for BETA. If you are unhappy about something in Beta be vocal about it. Constructive criticism is going to be what makes this game amazing. What will NOT help make ARR amazing is letting every small upgrade from 1.0 blind you from really fixing problems or even making something that works so much better.

Sad that this happens despite Yoshida mentioning that alpha is more for stress testing than anything else.

I can't imagine why people would be having a problem with the new battle system, outside of the whole "i wanna be different for the sake of being different" thing. It looks lively and fast-paced, at least to me who has played fast-paced systems before.

I did find it interesting that they had a dragoon tanking, and am surprised no one else has mentioned it. Then again, they had two white mages too.

There is only lancer, conjurer, and archer in alpha version. We will probably have lancers tanking it in beta too if tam-tara is involved in a 'tutorial' quest from gridania. Gridania doesnt have any tank class guilds.
