Thread: 2.0 Movement inertia: Removed

And yes 1.0's movement is a hinderance and would be considered unacceptable in any sort of game which wanted to have its PvP taken seriously.

Edit: As a concession, I will say that SE did a lot to improve the movement controls over 1.0's lifespan from what they were at release. At release they were an abomination, but by server shut-down day they were a lot better.



I'm not sure what you're talking about here. You start by describing what I think is supposed to be WoW's PvE, but your final sentence fragment seems to make me think otherwise.

First off, no, I don't really have a lot of PvP experience. PvP is not exactly what I look for in a MMORPG, and I haven't bothered with it since waaaaay back in Ragnarok Online. What I was talking about at the end of my post was WoW's PvP, solely based on what I have seen of it. I wouldn't bother with it, because, well... pretty much everything I've seen is outright hideous to me. All I've managed to see is pretty much what I described: people running about in erratic ways while chasing their target and trying to keep 'em in sight and slamming away at one or two keys as soon as their spells/abilities are back up, which takes like a second or so. If the PvE there also ends up that way, well... wow... then that is just sad.

I'd seriously like to know how the animations were a hinderance, btw, seeing as they didn't really affect movement at all and were a purely aesthetical thing.
