The Evolution of Combat: BETA discussion

Any reports in on how dg fairs in the beta?

Assuming no new weapons added we'd still have 8 weaknesses in there (air earth water fire crush stab slash arrows) and with each weapon only being 1 style could make binds interesting.

Tbh at this point entire thread should be considered spoilers, it'd be ridiculously messy and counter-productive to put alllllll spoilers in hide tags considering 90% of people on the thread will be here to find out details and info.

Here are all the abilities. Sorry about the bad quality. I had my screenshots originally set to Jpeg and I didn't want to redo them all.

 

Edit: Added spoiler tags. Lol thanks Vezon Dash, i didn't think of using them.

This sucks so much, I played it for like 15mins but it is so laggy. Going back to the live game for the time being.

 

THIS. I am just going to be spending my time in the live game for today. And probably tomorrow too. Then I might try BETA out again, when the server works at least a bit better.

You're welcome. If anyone needs more info i am glad to give it. The game seems to be playable now. Not much lag at all if you are not in lumby with everyone getting armor/weapons.

 

Edit: There are also armor/weapon traders in places like ardy. So don't waste your time in lumby.

What's Magic like? I hear it's very weak...

[highlanders 71]

Way too laggy, I'll try again later. Also is there a shop stocking jewellery? I could find all the other equips except that.

I meant that all of those images made my iPad crash twice while trying to open this page.

Nope the 7 shops are the supplies of food runes etc. then armour and wep for each of the 3 cmb classes, probably because jewellery and capes have minimal impact overall and by and large jewellery isn't hard to get.

tried out the pking, couldn't rly find any challenging person.

Are the stun moves on a shared cooldown? Right now, I can see someone use Barge>Pulverize (if dual wielding) or Bash (if shielding) and/or Binding Shot (if wielding a ranged weapon) > Asphyxiate (which I believe requires no weapon)>Impact>Backhand>Kick to have someone stunlocked for an unknown amount of time due to their short cooldown (with the only defense against them being Freedom on a 15 second cd).

 

If this stays the same, I can see a ranger with a shield using Impact and Asphyxiate being very dangerous.

 

And I thought rogues in WoW were annoying to fight.

[Cheefoo 190]

Urrrgh, horse shit game keeps crashing. What world are you guys playing on and roughly where do you live? Maybe it has to do with the server locations.

[Siobhana 218]

So. Who's gonna give me the lowdown on Jad? :P

[Aneron 1]

combat seems like it has moved substantially closer to being LoL

Back/Front of Bandos and rhino cape (particles on cape)

Waterfiends are weak to bolts so no more goliath gloves :(

I decided to turn graphics back to max and on Directx... Surprisngly, it worked much better than min graphics. However, the game crashed when I tried to eat something... At least I can access my bank and check out stats on stuff.

Dag rings, fury, arcane stream all fall under jewlery.

I'd expect something like that to be fixed before the actual update goes live.

Dag rings are fairly cheap and acrane might be free, dg items r in the dg store for free.

You can't get any spirit shields, you can't use the GE, only DG weapons and shields are free.

It seems to me that it takes a lot longer now to kill most monsters?

One-hitting weak ones (like before the combat update) seems to be impossible now.

 

Using full virtus and water surge (their weakness), it still takes me quite a while to get trough the first waves of the fire caves.

seems like whole wilderness is now multiway combat and its on purpose

With all of these guaranteed damage abilities, it seems like whoever has the best gear, aka more lifepoints, is at a significant advantage.

"Riot" update: http://newrscombat.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/riot-w66111shift/

 

Similar size to what it was an hour ago, I think this is it's "peak" really.

 

EDIT: Already declining it seems, relatively rapidly.

I don't like the current chatbox setup. If they are going to have it so it works on a focus system, it needs to have a toggle, or a vastly expanded char limit so that I don't have to keep hitting enter to finish talking.

 

The magic interface is a nightmare. I can see where quick navigation isn't a priority though since the idea is you move any spells you need to the ability bar, and your only dealing with the list while out of combat. Your rightously screwed if you try to navigate any of those manues for something you didn't anticipate in a fight though, so maybe the point it to encourage planning.

 

Also, faces. This is what I got greeted with when I logged in:

In the still, I just look like someone conked me way to hard in the head with a maul, but in motion, its more of a demented "I'm going to eat your soul" look.

 

It also doesn't help that at least this particular model setup causes my head to move backwards and forwards about a foot in each direction like some sort of spineless pidgeon, which upgrades to some fantastical stretching glitches when I do the home teleport. I'll chalk that one down to not all models doing that (I hope) and so maybe its something they missed. If not, well, I'm having nigtmares tonight either way.

 

I am also not taking my helmet off until this one gets fixed. It's the only thing holding my head on my shoulders.
