some are saying that they don’t mind the combat change…
I want to see video of them and their thralls surviving some combat against more than 1 thing. How can you not mind a system that forces you to spam roll as well as ONLY use W to change direction, as well as spam Q to change targets, since using standard free-combat style will get you rolled into an attack, into a wall, into a corner, or just instantly dead. I also would like to see a live stream of the devs attempting to do basic Conan gameplay in this update. I’ve seen how companies intentionally killed a game before, and this is worse. The only other option is that this new gen of developer doesn’t know how to code. And how sad would that be. I’m very familiar with free combat systems, I have done exceptionally well in other games that had way harder combat. This change is just about as stupid as sending 12 year olds to war. Seriously, losing 4 consecutive lv 20 T4 thralls all in bulked plate Champ gear (nearly 2k armor value and from 3k - 10k HP) one thrall was a T4 bearer with 10k HP, running 2 thralls at a time (max war party) me with 1900 armor and 740 HP, appropriate legendary weapons, all thralls rerolled with good attributes. Berserkers that could solo well of skelos couldn’t handle an ‘armorer I’ in Sep. I lost more than a few hours of work there. And this was in Sep where kills are NORMALLY basically happening as i walk through town because it isn’t a challenge. It’s not just players that can’t survive this combat break, the thralls wildly miss attacks, careening off into the distance since they also can’t execute combos and change direction. Well done, game is toast. Noone will know if taverns were even a good idea. Show me some unedited live playthroughs where someone actually can do this combat and I’ll shut up.
I tried the combat for hours too, so it’s not just a quick play and get frustrated experience. I tried in 3 maps with different builds, and all of this was in civilized difficulty. I lost a grand total of 8 good thralls, died so many times it’s ridiculous, and lost hours of gear farming. All for what? Try to tell me it’s to make it more challenging again. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please keep it realistic.
