Do you think that PWI would be a better game if the devs would turn it into an action combat MMO?

NOI love the game exactly how it is to be honest. An action combat MMO would be harder for some people to play. People already struggle with simple tasks like jumping/walking on the board in UP, crossing the bridge in FSJ, etc, so, it would be even worse.
There are plenty of people I know that are older folks for example, and I do enjoy playing with them and they are only able to play with the mouse because they don't know how to use the keyboard too well. There's even this 1 person I know that only has 1 arm and he's able to play fine.
I know some people prefer the action combat genre, I personally don't and like how the game runs. HOWEVER, I do want to point out i'd like it to be upgraded to a new engine and some parts of code should be looked into (like sins/DBs/Seekers not being able to use their jumps due to "Invalid Skill" or when you chase someone, attack, they move right as you attack and it rubberbands you back).

i would like a real story mode like guild wars 1 with the toggle option for animated or non animated story line
that would make this game rock im starting to feel like where the 2D MMO compare to all the new releases0 -
Eh? Isn't this an action mmo? It's not turn-based like Pokemon or SMT or older FF titles or a few MMOs I could name.0

NOAction combat wouldn't work in this game. You can only target people directly in front of your line of vision, which means nearly impossible to get to the ranged DDs and healers on the back line in mass pvp.0

LOL you called PWI a action combat mmo...
PWI is a point and click based MMO, nothing is action combat related.
Wasn't really aware there was a difference.0 -

Not to be a party pooper, but i'm going to be anyway, the engine BNS runs on only uses 1 core as well.
No, just because your programs like afterburner is showing activity on multiple cores, does not mean it uses multiple cores.
PWI will also show activity on multiple cores, but actually only uses 1.
A lot of MMO's running on the unreal engine are just plain single core and very demanding of it, which is why generally AMD CPU's are completely garbage when it comes to running those MMO's.
It's **** but it's the way it is.
That said, turning PWI into an action combat MMO (a-la PWE's other published game: Swordsman), would require the game to be completely rebuild, or at least a new part built into it that will actually handle all of it.
You might as well go play swordsman then.The only fitting image for this forum.0 -

I'm still waiting for the engine upgrade to Angelica III.0
