I really do not like the Changes to Age of War. It seems like such a let down compared to Age of Sorcery. My main complaints
-
Heavy weapons are terrible. Completing a heavy combo leaves you wide open to a counter attack. The slow speed of heavy weapons completely negates their AOE effect as mobs just circle around you.
-
Mobs have unlimited stamina and simply run you down. Even cripple barely gives you enough time to gulp an aloe potion with the extended animation. Without cripple you have no chance
-
The weapons do too much damage on PC health. Three dagger hits should not take a player out when they have 3 tiers of health and health armor. This is low grade iron and steel weapons used by NPC’s and not legendary or high end weapons
-
The mob AI is nothing like the previews. You pull one mob and the entire camp is on you in seconds. If enemy mobs had a stamina pool that would be fine but they don’t
-
I don’t see why the combat system was changed so drastically. Before it was fun, now its just tedious and unimaginative with the need for daggers or maces all the time. It’s terrible, Un flavorful combat. If Funcom is so bored that they are constantly rewriting their systems like combat, cooking, crafting, etc. then they should focus on bug fixes and more helpful updates.
