Pvp can't jump while using abilities?

in General Discussion
From what I have seen/heard from streamers you can't use combat abilities while jumping. Tab targeting allows easy pvp entry for newer players. I believe that jumping along with moving while using abilities allows for more outplays increasing the skill ceiling of pvp. It also allows the movement to feel less clunky.

    I think you are over-assuming the level of action combat in this game.

    I tries using abilities while jumping and could not.
    It's Alpha One. We'll have to see if that changes. For now, it's fine.
    Tab targeting during Siege still feels wonky - doesn't seem to work as well as it should.

    the combat mostly mirrors archeage and the movement in archeage (including jumping while using skills) leaves plenty of room to outplay and is one of the few reasons people continue to play the game despite the p2w gap

    I hope you can do dmg while strafing and jumping when the game actually launches. Atm you can’t use any abilities or auto while moving. It’ll be a game breaker for most. I think they’ll change it.

    As an ESO player i love being able to attack while running or jumping. Hopefully this will be changed. Games where you just stand still while casting/hitting, i typically just uninstall right away.

    Jumping around in Archrage is only effective against a few melee builds, it is not all that great against most.

    Also, Archage has a good number of abilities that you need to be still to cast, just as Ashes does.

    So yeah, it does mirror Archeage in some ways. You seem to think that Archeages combat is good (I think it is ok), so I am unsure why you are complaining about a thing in Ashes that is similar to a thing in Archrage.

    Outplays?
    You think that anybody gets outplayed by this? Everybody can do it. Everybody.

    It looks ugly. Dont need it.

    As long as all excessive jumping cost stamina, jump away.

    I always giggle when people circle strife and bunny hop in tab targeting games. Missing is controlled by RNG, not the player's aim.

    Now I can watch them on stream grunting like they are deadlifting a car or something. lol

    I'm just like, back up out of their circle strife, press 1,2,3, kill them and go back to playing without the grunting and breaking a sweat. :wink:

    bunny hopping has no place in mmorpg pvp. /2cents

    Jumping and attacking at the same time is ridiculous and it looks ridiculous. Since the game will try to reach a 500vs500 stage, imagine groups of 50 vs 50 players all just jumping and casting. That's just weird and it shouldn't have any room in AoC in MY opinion.

    This already exists in other mmos and they dont just 50v50 jump at eachother lmao

    I think you should be able to jump/spam jump anytime including mounted. It adds to the feeling of freedom for me. Responsiveness and freedom trump realism imo.

    I'm aware it exists, and it looks dumb.

    I can move around just find while doing the basic attack with a wand. I'm hoping that this sort of gameplay is migrated to the other weapons, and at least some of the skill attacks. It's a huge reason why I like Mages so much more than the other archetypes in Alpha.
