Im also hoping it will take from chivalry medieval warfare and mount and blade for melee combat, so that it involves more skill than just slashing blindly and whoever hits first wins. I made this thread to talk about the above ^ and to verify with people that think this is going to be like WoW and the warhammer fantasy MMO because ITS NOT! its skill based, not level based.
I really hope the melee is more in depth than space marine's. Something akin to dark soul's parry and stuff would be cool.
so how do I make a poll? I want to let the devs know about this--the dark souls system would be PERFECT!
My opinion: - Must be able to block, with a Defense bar... as long as you have it you should be ok, but if you take enough hits a mini-stun happens and you can't block for X seconds. - Fast/Weak and Heavy/Strong hits; the first one being easier to hit (obviously), but the second being able to crush the target's Defense. - A Dodge system, with some kind of cooldown to prevent dodge spamming. Just some basic stuff, but it should be able to work
Just get me Space Marine with a larger game world and Planetside elements. And I will be lost to this game.
Devs already said they are fans of Chivalry : medieval warfare, especially from the taunts and ingame chat... The skilled close combat part stands to be tested during the beta, I guess. And yes, major inspirations are : wh40k : space marine, Gears of War and Planet Side 2.
I'd rather have it feel more like Chivalry if they were going to go heavy into the directional attacks/blocks. Personally, I hope it feels actiony, more akin to something like the moba Smite, but with more depth.
