Thread: 1.18 patch Attack Speed Slower?

Sword was about 2 secs, h2h was about 1.5, and lance was about 3 seconds. I hope we don't see any weapons past 4 seconds though. I wonder if weapon delay will be displayed on the weapon stats now? I wished they just kept the delay the same across all weapons cause it would be no different DPS wise between DD than it is now.

Well depends how many skills they end up giving you and how TP is calculated. Have to try it before making initial judgement.

If say a slow great sword gives you 400 TP per hit... that's would really balance out attack speed.

some people need to re-read what was written about that video

it is an early "test" version of how their work is going on auto attack, in other words...its NOT complete, we arent looking at the finished product

If not...what does this mean:

Auto-attack functionality will be prioritized in 1.18.

I should have gone farther:

In implementing auto-attack in 1.18, we’ll also need to make major revisions to enmity algorithms, tweak the motion of certain actions (as seen in the above video), and also rebalance a handful of them—just to list a few battle-related items.

I think you need to re-read the letter too.

The Dungeons, which ARE included in 1.18, arent finished either.
That doesnt mean they arent coming with 1.18 it just means they still have to work on it till 1.18 gets on the Live Servers

+2weeks then original schedule isn't that bad. They want a big bang, so they're trying to line it up.

Depend ultimately what 1.18 is going to hold, and when 1.19 is going to come.

If 1.19 is coming in 4 months, fck that.

My WAG...

1.18 - Early July (first full week)
1.18a - Late July
1.18b - First week Aug
1.19 - Middle of August
1.19a - End of August
