Combat system test - Amun - Phase 3 - Page 18

kamax · 09-23-2009, 08:43 AM

I just have some test with my lock, i can cast a spell WITHOUT removing my finger from the forward/backward key. It stops me, cast the spell and i continue to move BUT to do it i must press left or rigth at least one time, the time i press forward/backward.

If i stand and just press forward/backward and try to launch a spell, i go in combat mode but it don't stop me.

I don't know what the "normal" should be, but we have a bug here.

This is not a major problem but archer "shot sound" is heard as the archer is still aiming. Playing the sound at the good time would be a way for archer to know they can move again.

I like the update from 11:33 AM GMT+1 on Amun

Casting berserk when running

With W button, before character did not get buff, but lost mana.
Now mana is keept if buff casting has been interrupted by pressing run forward button - fixed
With F button, character was stopping after casting berserk.
Now it stops temporarily and continue running after casting skill - fixed

I am very happy about those fixes. That's a good job NGD, thank You.

Howl while running (forward, backpedal or strafing) still does not stop your char, cast, and continue moving.

Howl and Deafening Roar are still bugged and will not cast while moving using movement keys (and probably a few more are like that too).

However, I can confirm that TFB and Berzerk now do cast while moving using movement keys.

And you are not considering the fact we have to move between shots, which makes our DPS rate decrease a lot.
Even with a slow bow, moving backward after a shot cancel the next shot as the archer is beginning a new shot straight away. Making the attack speed 100% faster means divide all duration by 2, not almost remove time between shots and let shot duration as long as it was before. This way, grinding will be a pain (especially with actual mobs evasion rate).

and yet with all these bugs and complaints they choose to go live

I haven't tested it for two days, so they might have fixed it? If not, they really should.

Also, I agree with everyone else that states that this update is no way near ready for live servers.

I saw this too, mana is still consumed if you move while casting. Just not as much as the actual cost of the spell you cancelled. This is because before you cast a spell, it uses 1/3 or 1/4 (something like that) of the mana you need faster than the other 2/3 or 3/4. It's always been that way, but now it's kind of annoying.

Hopefully they fixed/updated most of the things already for the patch and they just haven't told us.

Yes, i was very surprised when i saw that the updates is going to be today. Not even close to ready, so much to work out and so many bugs still there. I know you guys want to try to keep a schedule and all, but we are on such a good roll there with this update. Many of us feel its not ready, lets spend some more time working on bugs and correcting gameplay issues before we go live.

Also, i have noticed that you stop while moving a LOT more while holding the 'W' key, especially in combat mode mode.

One annoying thing I found, which isn't a huge problem, but if you attack with a melee weapon, then cast a melee spell afterwards, you "half swing" for the next spell, then do whatever animation that spell has. Example: I attack with a normal hit using a sword, then press SC immediately after the normal hit is completed. On my next animation, I start to swing my sword, then the normal attack animation abruptly stops and I twist around to cast SC.
