Request for a longer battle video

[Ryans]

I'm still unsure as to whether or not I like the changes to the battle system and will probably remain that way until I get a hands on experience. But some of my worries could be affirmed or negated by a 2.0 combat video that lasted at least 2 minutes simply to see the flow of combat and how tp regenerating would function in a practical sense.

I'm not going to pretend to know if its even at that stage, but if it is I think a lot of us would like to see a sample. Nothing too glossy, just a longer fight.

P.S. And if possible, from the point of view of a melee DD so we can see a ratio of tp regen to weaponskill use.

Edit: Since almost all of you are missing the point of this thread, I will put it in very simple words.

I do not care about opinions of the changes, I do not care about the graphical changes, I do not care how other games handle things.

I want to know what "fast-paced" means to Yoshida in the form of a demonstrative video that has a player fighting something for longer than 2 skills.

Here's some Archer battling

Although what he attacks dies in two hits.

Like everything else in ARR will xD. It still looks heavily...downgraded from 1.0, so hopefully it's just "unfinished" or they went all out fitting in with other MMOs.

Everyone will have their own opinions on this one, Now we all can say it is downgraded sure, but "Heavily"? Not sure about that one on a personal level. Its still not finished yet, so there's still a lot they can improve on.

I don't mean the graphics quality of the combat system, I mean the technical side of it. How fast paced will it be, how much down time will there between weaponskills after you have used your initial 1,000 tp, how much variety is there going to be in your choice of skills (Will you use the same weaponskill combo over and over because they all share a cooldown or will you use multiple combos like we do now). This is the kind of stuff I'm worried about.

Didn't the devs say that is IS in fact downgraded and they simply didn't waste resources on things like walking animation and such?

I even agree that it is downgraded, but not "heavily" though. But perhaps down the line they can put the stuff that they wanted to put in but couldn't.

From what we've seen, it looks like TP skills cost around 200-300, and probably more for stronger skills. It regens pretty fast.



I don't know how I feel about it. It feels a lot like Guild Wars 2 >_>

Tp doesn't regen in party, the longest fight you will see in game is 20 seconds long. SPAM FEST HERE WE COME

That's a terrible thing, gw2 is sooo cheap, looks and feels like a cheap game.
