Thread: 1.20 destroyed the game again ?

And, yes, 10 seconds during MMO combat feels like an eternity. If I (CNJ) duo with my husband (PGL), he tells me he can get in one attack (TP abilitiy) during the whole fight. The rest is just helplessly watching your auto-attack. Combat is now atrocious and no fun. And it's definitely a deciding factor not to subscribe on Jan 6th.

Games like Aion and SW:TOR have the funnest combat I've ever experienced in an MMO. This is just terrible.

Well if you're nuking lv 25 mobs on your CNJ, I wouldn't be surprised if your PGL husband had issues getting hits in. Bravo, however, for basing your criticism of the game's battle system off of such a trivial encounter.

I for one have all battle classes at 50. I've tried them all since patch - both solo on GC leves as well as in party. I love the current battle system, despite it being still incomplete. Once Jobs come in with 1.21 we will have taken the 2nd biggest step to fixing the battle system as a whole.
