I think there’s something missing in the fighting mechanic, the combos are ok, but I was wondering, why when you press the attack the PC needs to stop his movements? I think this is not realistic neither entertaining. I think the fighting would have a huge improvement if the attacks didn’t stop the movement, maybe just a slow during the hit of like 50%, what do you think about it? ---

No one agrees with that? ☹ ---

It’s definitely needed, especially to deal with running enemies. Right now, there’s no way for wolves or hyenas to overtake a player that keeps moving, nor can we successfully attack purge enemies that decide to charge without stopping. Adding attacks on the run would go a long way towards making the AI more of a threat in PvE. ---

That’s exactly what I think, it would improve a lot both pve and pvp! I also think that some of the slower weapons could also have the chance to shine again ---

There already is a partial form of that if you sheathe your weapon as soon as you hit or miss a hit, since you recover instantly and can start sprinting again. ---

Maybe something akin to Dark Souls’ sprinting, rolling and backstep attacks might remedy this, each weapon in the Dark Souls’ series had a unique attack if the attack button was pressed during a roll, sprint or backstep. For example, the longsword’s sprint attack was a running horizontal slash, the roll attack was a stab and the backstep was a lunging slash. ---

With some very standard weapons I can strike and move. I have no problem with that. ---

I agree with you. A while ago I posted about having some sort of charge attack. It has always seemed ridiculous to me that all you need to do to make yourself almost untouchable is go into a brief jog. There needs to be a way to counter this both for player characters and npcs. Dodging should still be a viable mechanic to avoid being hit, but a light jog that doesn’t use stamina? Doesn’t seem right that you can avoid any attack this way. ---

> [@Roche](#): > > With some very standard weapons I can strike and move. I have no problem with that. You can strike and then move, that’s a pretty obvious statement. I mean moving -while- you do the hit, like it actually was before they introduced the combos > [@CrystalGoddess](#): > > Maybe something akin to Dark Souls’ sprinting, rolling and backstep attacks might remedy this that could also be a thing, but it would be more difficult I think (?) not sure > [@Mango\_Ops](#): > > There already is a partial form of that if you sheathe your weapon as soon as you hit or miss a hit, since you recover instantly and can start sprinting again. with that you just interrupt the attack and you can sprint after a while, but that’s not even remotely the same ^^ ---
