I don’t see how you are able to catch someone with the current state of the combat mechanics, you cannot. The only option is to sprint to them and somehow get lucky to land an attack, but even then they will still keep running and go zigzag. Which is what i am trying to point out, this is a terrible way to engage someone, and on the contrary you cannot engage them if they just zigzag.
I don’t know what you tested but this is how i and many other keep dodging players and NPC attacks. It looks terrible and it just needs fixing.
I dunno. Maybe I’m just an expert, and so are all of my clan mates. I guess all of that playing the Witcher 3 and the soulsborne games payed off.
All I know is that a year ago you couldn’t land a hit to save your life. I left the game to do other hobbies and make babies. I heard there was a big combat update and jumped into the new server my pals where on and found all of the combat seems better. @Jens_Erik can probably answer why it’s better lol.
What a coincidence ! I too made a break from the game, and when i returned i saw almost no new changes to combat, a few animation changes and some weapons. Oh look i’m starting to sound like a broken record.
I guess we either play a different game or the game functions differently on both machines, which is something i doubt, but who knows with CE it might be even the case.
