So Ive always admired your combat Funcom Team. Am I the only one who would love to see a polish to combat and hitboxes to a souls like experience? Ive heard rumors about magic as well and I think it would rad to have to have to have a “focus” equipped to use magic.

I posted the same topic and image if NPC fight like that…
Conan’s combat is simple because the servers must be able to handle the AI
Elden Ring is offline or local hosted so combat can be complexer
I’m afraid better combat will never happen for Conan due to its limits.

There’s some truth to that but I’m not sure I agree overall. I mean if we’re talking about magic just look at ESO. Very precise battling, up to 1,000 players per server instance, and based on a central server - similar to Conan. If we are talking about more precise melee, just look at previous versions of Conan itself, before they implemented all the extra and very whacky attack animations.

Ohh it should be possible with players, just not the AI haha

Cyrodil in ESO is a laggy mess especially in some of the larger fights. And they have server clusters to help with that sort of thing, NOT a centralized server. CE won’t have server clusters because it was always designed with a scaled down system in mind.
You can host a CE server on your computer. You cannot reliably host a ESO server.

Ah, thanks for that… Appreciate the info…
I disagree the combat can be like that because behavior can be done offline and caculated afterwards. Following thralls might work differently though. In addition, we seen 4 players online fighting with mobs around so its debatable.

For players this might be the case, stated in in a later comment here
But for AI that’s handled by the server currently impossible
I would love to see sorcery too, yet I miss the combat problems. Again, from all the survival games you play, which one has better combat? Because we speak about a survival game, not an rpg isn’t it?
My last survival games were
Stranded deep, green hell, forest, ark. None has combat moves, none. Especially in ark without a Dino you are a dead meat.
Conan exiles from all the above is way better in combat and a million times better in build.
About ESO, I played this too, yes huge map, huge content, extremely laggy on dungeons and cyrodil as @Taemien stated, plus the total definition of pay to win game. So, again name the survival with better combat system please.
