Been wanting to come back to this game for quite some time but the nerf to the dodging has made the game no fun to play. I’m a PvE player who likes to play on my own private server with friends. I can’t seem to find any mods that completely fix this and I can’t find any updates from Funcom that address this either. Is there no hope for the old dodge roll being brought back?

If you are solo and need to break away from a dangerous combat, then use a shield. Time a block then sprint away. Also, if you engage many opponents, then you should die! I am in full support of the new dodge. Something had to be done with ease to disengage combat. Once you engage an enemy, it should not be so easy to run.

[image] Croms_Faithful: Especially when facing large groups of 6-7, or even up to 12 strong opponents such as Skeletons or Lost Tribe, or more agile opponents such as Wights, Corrupted Wolves, the White Tiger and Albino Bat o.O I fail to see the problem here. It’s a survival game. Any other game where you are overwhelmed by an overwhelming force, nobody would bat an eye that you died.

Everyone is all over the place on this issue. For those of you who are having trouble with the new dodge, put 20 points in Agility. If you have less than that, then you need to dodge by sprinting, block the attack, or wear enough armor to tank the hit. If you want to wear heavier armor and still be able to dodge, then you will need 30 or even 40 in Agility. At that point you’re playing a defensive based character. For those of you who say the nerf is preventing disengaging from combat, sit back down. That’s not what it does, as I frequently use sprinting to avoid attacks with the new system. If I can side step an attack by walking or running, then getting out of combat is no more harder than before. So come up with a better argument.

[image] Auculus: If you are solo and need to break away from a dangerous combat, then use a shield. I have only recently stated why this is not a working solution in a seperate thread discussing this issue. Here is what I said. People always say ‘just use a Shield’, when they know full well that it is not a solution. And this is coming from someone who uses the War Axe & Shield combination as their default loadout. The shield only guards against the players front, not their back, and robs us of our movement while it is raised. Meaning that if we are facing large groups of say 10+ enemies, it is inneffective. This is further hampered by a lack of knockback and fast enemy recovery after striking the shield. Allow me to put forth my counter proposal. If you are having difficulty catching runners, use a throwing axe or equip some claws or if you have a clanmate supporting as an Archer fire upon him. You have numerous options available to you.

Even with max agility + light armor there’s barely any difference…

@Ignasis I have a genuine question. While it is possible that I have misunderstood the feedback, my understanding of it at the time was that Funcom would eventually add in an Admin Panel option allowing players to switch back to the classic dodge system at a later date. Was this the case, and if so will it still be coming at a later date?

Wich is kinda weird, when the new roll is totally dogbip. Explanation was that people should use heavy armor more, but now then? Heavy is the only u use. Before u used 3light 2medium wich u remve without any notifications, u also used medium more wich is totally gone now, and heavy u used to be a bit tankier. Now it’s all in for heavy.

if only some piece of wood was invented to shield you from blows. Perhaps I am a rarity here but I hate the dodge roll entirely, I would much rather universal block/parry/ stun mechanics. Rolling around with a spear was laughable, sure it was fun to play and there was a learning curve, but if the game was advertised me as rolling around on the floor in dafari armour with a spear I would have never bought it. Now people actually use all kinds of weapons, daggers, great axes, maces, swords, horse spears, ony thing that feels a bit out of whack is the thrall damage (while I still love the thralls people are kind of right with the disconnect of the thralls doing the heavy lifting entirely).

Depends. Helplessly dying because there is no possible move is (imo) wrong game design. And saying that its a survival game is merely an excuse to justfity that. Its a survival game where you barely need to survive against 80% of the other aspects (sandstorm, thirst, wildlife,etc) why would this single aspect be brutally hard when the entire game is easy? Makes 0 sense to me and sounds like a sloppy excuse.

Any news on fixing the dodge roll nerf?
