What if...?

Well, only players responded on my other thread, so I thought to take one of my "what if" questions out from faction chat and into the forums just to see how would people react. Also fueled by the recent motorcyclophobia that has appeared, so feel free to troll if you wish.


Here's the what if scenario:

Out of the blue, Perfect World is hit by an unusual update. Said update involves redesigning the combat system into a more... action-y

Disclaimer: The videos shown are merely an example and does not represent exactly what I'm trying to get at here. Also had to avoid the non-pwe mmo rule to not get this locked.

Now then, what would YOU do? How would you, the player, feel towards it if something like this happened? Perhaps it could be compared to a full 3D version of Rusty Hearts, for those who have trouble imagining?

Would you be very happy?
Would you cry, fill out a butthurt report form, and ragequit?

Let me hear your opinions!

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    You mean something other than tab targeting TW which is as pro as it gets?

    Either way, an MMO will be coming out that's like them soon so I wont need to what if it and simply just play that game.

    Kinda. Since all I do is PVE all I see is stand still, spark, auto attack, dead. Also, I'm not talking about other games. I'd expect QQ from aps people.

    Dont you mean basically what Rusty Heart is going to be like? Dunno if there is any pvp involved in that though. or how it will incorporate the magnitude of players that pw has with only like 3-4 characters (Would be alot better game if the characters were created by players like PWI is, but unfortuantely it seems like it'd be an instance based game). gameplay Video for Rusty Hearts

    Well, if you dont want to think of other games. then... It'd be impossible to do that, It'd basically change everything that PWI is. can you imagine a game with gameplay like RH but with a veno O_o We and mystics would basically break the game with our pets/summons. being able to dodge and such with a push of a button would be too op'd for PWI.

    Second one looks like fw pvp. Picking up stuff from the ground all the time.

    It wouldn't work on pwi anyway. It would make all attacks an aoe of some sort since there is no target. Can you imagine a 5 aps punching the air and then hitting 3 people at once?
    /quit.

    Sort of... but up to now, most of the replies are almost missing the point.

    For clarification purposes, those "items" in the videos were commands. The equivalent of "skills" here. ("Oh ****, I dropped my Ironheart.")

    Also, this would get rid of 5 aps as you would need to press a button for each attack.

    I see what you mean there, you are trying to say in PvP, there will be different skills that you can use more fluidly, movement and dogging will be more fluid, there will be different types of doges depending on what class you are. (One class like a Archer might have a better doge move than a Wizard) or something like that....?

    And if something like that happened, It would be awesome since I would make boss battles more interesting, along with grinding, and PvP will be more balanced (sort off balanced).

    Kinda like that, you're getting closer. Something more action-based, rather that swipe atm card, point, and click.

    Also, video replaced with something more appropiate. Boss fight included. Imagine a boss fight like that in here. b:dirty

    Apparently you don't know what APS actually is. 5aps is not a problem in PvP. How many times do you see someone triple spark and try to tank it?

    Triple Spark = 3 seconds of "hey look at me and get the hell away" time.

    And it's not fist BMs that are a problem. It's sins being OP that is the real issue.

    Skill sin > aps sin in PvP.

    Of course, I'd only expect to hear that from someone who doesn't know how to play.

    AD, expel, occult ice them back or use another stun, immune pot, etc... and you're a mod. You're also a barb... AD+invoke? Fail more please. lol

    @ OP,maybe you're referring to something similar to what I wrote in this "reasons on why you're bored,etc" thread a while ago.Just look up reasons #3 & #4: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1076571


    You might be talking about the PWI combat being like in a FPS game which I'd honestly love if I still played.I never really considered the PvP in this game great even when the game wasn't broken but it wasn't that bad either.If you compare it to a real PvP game though,you can call it bad :P
    It's all about LoL,yo.

    After being stunned, then drilled to death by aps... I think I know what it is.

    Anyways, Michael, Fuzy... That's not the point of the thread. It's just how would you feel if this was forced on you. Would you like it or not? Not argue against eachother. b:sad

    ....Fuzzy will edit his own post.
