The problem with peice by peice revealing of a HYBRID combat system.

It depends on the game, but normally, you have both options.

In games where you don't want to change direction, usually you tab repeatedly if the enemy is moving around behind you, in my experience (so that they can't cause you to do unintended things with your mouse positioning).

Otherwise clicking is good.

In L2 "tab action" had an almost melee range, so everyone mainly clicked on their targets. And usually a party would have the main "clicker" and other dps characters would assist off of their target.

You are in fact mistaken about a lot of things you have said here relative to Ashes .

I make no claims about your previous experiences or the validity of those. They just don't apply.

I believe it is true to say that we are both becoming a waste of each other's time, but for clarity...

"Basics attacks don't make a mmorpgs combat system tis a tiny part of it, but the basic attacks and effort they put into it id say are very good. People trying to compare to new world saying you will have 3 abilities and basic attacks i feel have not watched any of the alpha one gameplay or are new to keeping up with the development."

The abilities used in combat in Alpha-1 for Archetypes other than Mage were not necessarily abilities that were used consistently.

In fact, if you look at just what we have in the last trailer, if fighting a single enemy at close range, a WeaponMaster does not have a clear reason to even do anything other than their Basic Attack, maybe, MAYBE if the enemy did a move that gave them enough reason to dodge backward far enough for the Hammer to hit in time.

Basic attacks are not a 'tiny part' of Ashes' combat system as I understand it right now. Can you please clarify what it is other than your previous experience that makes you think they will be 'a tiny part of it'? Note that you are the one claiming that the Alpha-1 gameplay implied that people are misunderstanding the development, so if you find it necessary to backtrack and claim anything about how Alpha-1 didn't have enough abilities or whatever, just don't bother.

Yeah alright, that ability bar sure proves me wrong, basic attacks are definitely just a small part of gameplay in Ashes.

Glad we had this talk.
