You know BB + IG/VG/GA will be the next Meta. I am sick of it that I can already tell it’s gonna be like this. How can you implement a Weapon that’s so damn strong that it will 100% dominate most of the Combat in the future???
This shit is rediculous… And then they go and reduce some of its Abilities instead of Tweaking the Abilities Viableness…
Eg. Mortar kneel down to shoot like shooterstance.
Eg. Singles Shot Left click with higher damage and spread (more pellets) but Reload times as high as Musket.
I really don’t understand some of their changes and why they are applying them.
Well new stuff must always be OP so that everyone wants to play it. And lure lost players back.
Void Gauntlet still to this day does several times more damage than any other weapon in the game.
They need to create some hype I guess.
Shit like this is literally destroying the overall Gameplay situation.
If they would have the Balancing in order with the Current Weapons and they gave the implementation of a New OP Weapon some proper thought and the repercussions it might have, I honestly would not mind as much.
But still. The main problem is that the Basic Combat system is not properly in Order to even think about adding new stuff.
Man. This might be an unpopular opinion but if it weren’t for the lag/desync, then combat would be much better now.
Yes, the game ran smoother back then. The combat was also kind of ass. (Can not believe that people still try to say that it was souls like by the way???)
3 weapons was wild
The skill cooldowns for each weapon were linked
I’m sure that people who complain about being rooted would love being hit stunned (staggered) for 3 or 4 seconds.
Life. Staff. Teleport.
Musket had literal wall hacks.
Imagine if the preview event was the release, we would’ve all gotten bored before the first month was up.
This thread makes me sad. Imagine if they kept their vision and just refined systems over that last year of development instead of going monkey-mode and throwing their poop everywhere. Oh well. Can’t blame them for following the money–especially because MMO culture is basically game hopping.
Of course the Combat would be better without the Performance Issues, there is no point in arguing that. The problem that you don’t seem to recognize though is that the Removal of certain Key aspects of Combat and the Massive Changes to fix the problems, that arose from that Removal, are literally causing the Issues we have today.
It’s not about, would people be happy with Stagger back in the game or would people be happy with higher Cooldowns, it’s about do you want the Game to work and flourish with Challenging and Fun Combat or do you want it to be just the same like everything else on the markets even though it’s obviously is not good at doing/being that.
It’s got good looks, but no personality.
Without personality it just becomes boring, it’s exactly the same as Dating.
The only thing that this is causing, is people, taking the next better option once it comes along.
WoW-> ESO → Update WoW-> FFXIV → Update ESO → Update WoW → Relaunch FFXIV…
(Just an example, don’t kill me for posting this)
And so on. I don’t see this being benefitting for one single game in any way. You need a Game that stands out of the Crowd, caters to a loyal Fan base and got the Personality and Gameplay to bind them. For to long everything on the MMO Market has been pretty much the same.
And that’s where People like me get really mad. NewWorld in Alpha was exactly that, it stood out of the crowd, catered to a loyal Playerbase and the Performance was good and overall Gameplay Loop was fun. I hoped for this game to be my first MMO that I could call home and take a long time investment of my time and money in, but today I just feel Disappointment.
Of course you can, it allways comes down to balancing.
High Reload Time → More Pellets?
More Pellets → More Spread?
The closer you are to target the harder it can hit, the downside would be, that you have to reload out of the fight. Not to mention, why does the BB have Dual/Tripleshot with a Pumpgun animation in the first place even though it’s a Single Barrel Weapon? I get we don’t have to be 100% realistic in a game, but to me this just feels completely off.
Of course we can go on discussing the BB and possible changes, but it might make more sense to change the Thread for that.
Yeah it’s about fighting, but you know, fighting was so much more, Combat had actual depth and you had to master it.
Learn to fight, improve yourself by reading the Enemy, aswell as make the right decisions on to when to commit to Action and which, to punish the Enemy for his Mistakes.
And that’s just fighting, yes.
I agree that more Content and overall Gameplay had to be added, but for those that really enjoy Combat this alone was like a dream.
I’m not saying that the game was perfect and complete. I’m saying they had a damn good foundation to build a Skyscraper on top, but whilst building it they ripped the foundation out. Kinda counter productive, if you ask me, especially when you look at today’s state of NewWorld and what it could have been.
