Gnashing Fang Combo, one button?

[Shurrikhan]

I'm not saying it's a bad suggestion or even saying you can't suggest it. But pushing for that kind of a stated goal is asking them to look at the foundation of this game's combat, it's more than "Hey consolidate Royal Authority combo into one button."

Shouldn't they be looking at the foundation of the game's combat anyways, rather than just neglecting its increasing shallowness in favor of complacency or asking players just to be likewise complacent and greedily swallow button bloat for its mere illusion of depth?

Yes, that could entail a whole overhaul of the combat system. But for the time being all anyone here is asking is not to have to spend button-space on the mere illusion of complexity when not doing so does not, in any notable fashion save perhaps to those suffering from arthritis or similar handicaps, reduce difficulty.

Call out the deep, dark slippery slope of "Oh, no, the game might actually take some thought and offer a modicum of choice!" however you like, but all that's being requested here, right now, is the choice not to intentionally bloat our bars as the default design has done.
