Dummy to test/practice actions and combo

[Rokien]

This is an idea on the jp side I'm pretty sure the title says it all, but here is the dev response for this

こんばんは。
Good evening,

アクションやコンボの練習を行えるような、様々なレベルのダミー人形については、
皆さんからの要望が多いようでしたら検討を行いたいと思います。
Regarding a dummy doll with different levels to test/practice actions or combos; if there are many requests for this one we would like to look into it.

このような機能も一緒に検討してほしいなどあれば、
引き続きフィードバックをお願いします。
If you have other features you would like us to look into along with this please leave a feedback.

Soo, I would like to support this because it would be a fun idea ^.^ also more people in favor, looks like they will implement it.

If you played some fighting games you will know what they are talking about for this one. Since we got combo system in game they wanted to see if the devs can add a mini-game like feature where you have a dummy to test/practice your actions or combo's



Some asked for being able to choose level of the dummy like Lv55 and to show DPS in-game and stuff like that

[Reinheart]

I'll just post someone asked to be able to equip gear (this post) on the dummies and I also commented in there like say you kill a NM and that NM drops soul of that mob type, you attach that soul onto your dummy and it will become that monster type to test/practice on that mob.

I'm way ahead of you and the JP... yet they get a rep post in 2 days... interesting.

Woops, I'll ask for them to delete this thread D: didn't see someone made one already

Yeah, it's a great idea. When players get housing, you can have your practice dummy set up in your living room or whatever, and you can target it, attack it, and use skills on it.

Umm I really dislike this idea, watching people stand there attacking dummies ruins my immersion, and it just looks silly, kind of like riding goobbues.

Wow I felt stupid typing that.

Anyway, it would be nice to have practice dummies, so yes please.

Damn, I actually thought you were for real for a sec there... >.<

I think it's a good idea. I think the different guilds would be a great place for that. Since they got rid of guild marks is there really any reason to go to the individual guilds in the first place?

Even if they aren't implemented in an open setting allow us to have some in our linkshell/company/personal housing areas. Also include a comprehensive battle tutorial/sequence in each of the guilds for new players as well. You could even make it a low level achievement where you trained on each dummy in each guild as the guilds corresponding class.

The game already has dummies.

see what I did there...

No seriously they need practice dummies they're nice for people to mess around and try stuff out on. Varying levels and resistances also thanks.
