More action oriented combat{again}

That was one of my husbands gripes too about this game. He found it absolutely crazy about the button mashing to attack. He and I come from a FFXI background, and while I DO NOT WANT XI here, I think there are some very fundamental things from XI that should have been implemented from the get go, I.E. NO BUTTON MASHING!

I just started playing Archer last week and while it is fun, I really disliked having to hit the attack button every time. There are enough actions and abilities to keep us busy moving around the action bar and clicking on them.

I vote no!

One reason I don't like archer very much.

It is my opinion that the button-mashy/mouse-clicky to attack thing only works if you don't have a targeting system. Something like Champions Online's or Tera's system only really works because you couldn't target the enemy, you just pointed in their direction.

That being said I think I was the only person who liked those systems, and something like that wouldn't work here, so I'm going with no on this one. I like the current battle system quite a bit, even if I can't backflip out of the way of an incoming attack.

That's why I said would you like to have him build up on the old battle system, make it its own thing. There didn't have to be a targeting system at all he could have changed that. I think if yoshi built upon what was already there, this game would be even better than it is now.

Actually, no, I'm a huge fan of TES. However the fluency of which the game was coded and worked is different from this game. Those games were strictly offline, single player console games. They do not have to take lag into consideration from another person's ISP. It can be coded different. You know those games all play on either a PC format, Xbox Format, or Ps3 Format.

However, this is an MMORPG. I imagine that when it comes to coding and such that makes things a bit more difficult to match up with one ISP to another I imagine.

But without even all the ^ I just mentioned. The animation and fluency of the animation is not the same as Morrowind's, Oblivions and Skyrim's. I can flat out run in those games. I can play from a 1st person POV.

Here, the animation is laggy, the servers are laggy cause everyone is in one place all the time and I don't think you can play 1st person POV that I know of, I could be very wrong on that.

FFXI and FFXIV were not given the same sort of coding moving fluency as TES series.

omg, do you guys not know what build/make better/tweeks are? Yoshi could have got rid of the stamina or kept it got rid of just attacking add more in depth to it(no aa is not a in depth system). Also we are talking 2.0 don't even give me this server lag excuse.

As for skipping that one post. She didn't give a valid point at all, you can say that about anything.
