The promising MMORPG Ashes of Creation is making great progress. Now a video has been shown that presents the battles and brings a special feature.
Many MMORPGs use a passive combat system. Players target an enemy and then press the button for the attack type, which is then executed automatically. This combat system has proven effective in MMORPGs as it is tactical, does not require skill from the players, and still works even with lag.
However, over time, the battles can also become a bit boring. If you are just yawning in front of the monitor, pressing 1, 2, 3 in turn and watching your character execute the attacks, you sometimes wish for a more action-packed system.
Attention and skill are important in battles
Ashes of Creation aims to spice up this tab-targeting combat system, as shown in a recent video. Essentially, the battles run similarly to other MMORPGs. You select the target and then your attack type, which is executed based on cooldown.
However, when you activate the attack, a bar appears on the screen. This bar has a marked spot, and a pointer rushes from left to right. If you click at the right moment, so that the pointer stops exactly within the marking, you receive a type of bonus on the attack. This should keep the battles interesting.
New version at PAX West
Moreover, the developers of the MMO introduced new creatures and talked about the power of the characters. This is a value calculated from the equipped gear, the stats, and the skills. A PvP arena was also shown where you can compete against other players in the game.
At the beginning of September, Ashes of Creation will be playable at the PAX West game fair. The developers are working hard to be able to present an exciting version that already contains many elements of the finished MMORPG. Both PvE and PvP content will be shown.
