Hi all,
I was really looking foward to a action fast fun dungon crawler play style. But wow this stand still to cast or attack is so boaring. It reminds me of some old games. But really if PW would allow us to move and fight it would add so much to the game and make it a lot more actions orenited.

As it stands this is prety much a game breaker for me. Ohh well guess its back to gw2.

    It's called "rooting" and I am not a big fan of it either but apparently it adds a lot of "strategy" to the game play.

    Eh, it has it's place. Keeps people from kiting you in PvP.

    I hate it too.I also want to fly around too.Without a mount.You know like a super hero. And also I hate the name of the game. I like "guild wars" better. They should rename it I think. An another note: Why do I have to aim to land skills?I prefer auto-aim.You know like wow (which is a better name than guildwars and neverwinter btw). Game is broken for me.

    I like it quite a bit. Makes breaking out of combat actually possible.

    One the few gripes I have with the game. Not a fan of it myself but I got used to it.

    I'll take the dungeon delving of this game over GW2 any day. GW2 has some of the weakest dungeons I have seen in an mmo in quite some time. WvW is hella fun in that game though.

    I think that wizards should have a few "on the fly" spells, while some (IE the frost/freeze type of things and high dmg ) should be ones they have to stand still for.

    However things like Magic missle? You should be able to move around while doing so.

    Why don't you stop trying to troll multiple forums?

    Troll?But I really want to fly..
    ok sarcasm off.. There is pointless trolling and there also is pointless complaining.. Being still while fighting is the primary mechanic of this game's fighting system. Saying that you don't like it(as the OP did) is acceptable but it's also pointless. It is exactly like saying that you would prefer the game to be called wow or something else..Just play a different game because this will NEVER change..
    Also Pilf: No comment man:)

    You need to learn what trolling is, posting the same post on different forums isn't "trolling" in any way. Maybe he just wanted to post his opinion at each community he's a part of?

    Having a negative opinion on a game mechanic doesn't equal to trolling.

    I like rooting, specially if its done right. It does at an element of, 'not flailing around' and makes it actually about being more careful with your attacks. You swing a weapon in real life, good luck moving AND swinging effectively. Add in the benefit that it also helps make the combat feel less floaty, I really have no issue at all with rooting. I do feel it can be done a little bit better in this game (more ways to escape early need be) but its over-all perfectly fine with me.

    Cleric level 5X (Dragon) - Holy goblin so much easier!

    CW's qre good enough in PvP already, letting them run'n'gun too would make things crazy. Seriously, rooted attacks make fighting much more interesting, and involves skillful play without million buttons. Just the way I like it.

    Bye. Enjoy your terrible floaty tab-target combat that has no sense of impact or weight.
