Balancing and bugs aside, is there a chance of a rework of melee or are the current core mechanics what we can expect at launch? I personally find the current rock/paper/scizzors-esque system to be clunky and frankly just not fun. Which is a shame since the focus on melee is what drew me to the game in the first place
I personally like the idea of the system. That said, it needs to work as intended. Right now it's rock rock rock where rock is dbash
Its terrible, even if it work then we're just stuck with a boring overcomplicated yet dumb melee system and mechanics. Which is sad considering what it could be..
not as sad as we'll be if they have to start again mate lol the problem with that is every time they restart designing core mechanics the game gets delayed by gods knows how long, and if it happens a lot, well ..... the few games that have undergone repeatedly redesigns tend to never make it to launch and no-one wants EC to become "game canceled"
They haven't redesigned anything since the move from Unity to Unreal... from then on its basically "lets keep mechanics but move them around a bit and try to make them better" which hasn't really made the system any better.
trust me I'm not saying the melee system works .... it doesnt, its more broken then a politicians promises, I just dont see them ever actually figuring out why its broken and then trying to fix it
We have already said why... many times.. if they really cant figure it out than I guess they're just not listening? I have honestly never seen them show interest in players opinion on the melee system.. So dunno what is going there...
they have "metrics" which tell all/know all/can forsee all .... what the hells would we know?, we're just players who buy computer games so our opinions obviously dont matter one iota
