    @nagash Didn't you say you would snap if another thread about combat mechanics would appear? I vote that you change your profile picture to a pile of Bones. Unfortunately this is not an answer in this poll. So i'm going for hybrid because it will be a hybrid system.

    Do it well and make it well balanced I'm good.

    Well, we really need a hybrid style, the game improves significantly and gives more ability to decide skills, can create more difference between classes and best of all feel unique even if you have the same class combination as another player.

    I'm ok with hybrid but if I'm just cool down waiting then no. Go action combat, but I also don't want the archers to feel like the only true action combat class. I feel 70/30 action is comfortable action combat. Some abilities are fine being tabbed. I'd like action though.

    Best of both worlds .w.

    If you can take ESO and improve upon it, I would be surprised.  It is by far the best MMORPG combat system to date, IMHO.

    Hey fellas!  Let's have a poll about renaming the game!  Or about whether or not it should have any PvP in it!  I love useless polls about things that have been set in stone for years and will never change, they are the best!

    Although I voted for basic "tab" as its served games like WoW, DAOC, AC, etc etc pretty well. I am fine with whatever. However, I always think of the bad that comes with the active combat systems. So providing both options as they currently are I think is really the way to go. 

    Look at games like Bless for example. They pinned there NA/EU release on there active combat system without really having the pattern down. They let it consume too much of there redevelopment time, and allowed .ini file alterations, and straight up packet interception hacking which provided for endless issues in game. Not to mention releasing a game with less than 1/4 the content that exiested in other regions at launch. 

    Now I understand that Bless was/is a failure, but you can look at most every MMORPG that tries to release with a "active combat system" and see that more or less most rarely get to even 1/8th the population of a pre-WoW era MMORPG.

    In the end I think there willingness to allow both to exist is good. However, I hope that niether takes away from time they need to develop: lore/story, quest continuity, and unified world mechanics.

    Action because I'm bored with tab target and wearing out 1, 2, 3 and 4 keys.
    I wish fights to be combo based instead of having a target and facerolling the keyboard.

    Im interested in seeing a hybrid system but I have my fears.

    ... any other options?  :fearful:

    How about a regular playing card?


  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I picked Tab as it is what I am used to.  Having play tested the action combat I have discovered I am terrible at it.  I hope the Hybrid system will be great and I will just have to get better at the action element, or hide in my workshop all day lol.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Hybrid.  Definitely hybrid.
