Title: Post here for an increase in melee combat speed!
Post by: UltraZerk on January 10, 2011, 04:00:15 am
Just felt like starting a thread for those of us who really want this slow motion combat to end.

Post and be counted!

Go back to Eu 4. The combat speed should be on normal.

wasnt the soft cap on wpf put in to stop the combat being fast?

I disagree, I am actually able to manual block more than 2 hits now  :mrgreen:

What exactly is the problem here?  Are you saying that WPF levels are too low, or is a server you play on set at slow combat speed?

Personally I can only benefit from slower speed because I live on the West Coast and there isn't a server under 90 ping for me.

This is it, this is why I feel like the games essentially changed. Every one is so slow like native but with peasents.  I call for change! remove soft wpf cap or raise or attack speed! It's not like a soft cap is needed since we already have a level cap.

If melee speed increases archers will want the old animation and/or wpf back too, then what?

I only play on US servers, so I'm used to faster speeds. But even with that, I think slower speeds make the game more fun. The faster it is, the better spam works, and that's no fun.

With slower speeds, especially with large numbers of players, teamwork and tactics become more important. Faster speeds would be better for small pop servers where there isn't as much room for large scale teamwork and tactics and instead is more of a test of quick reflex combat skill.

Oh yeh. Slowing down 2H spammers is definitely a plus for gameplay. No more mindless left-click spamming...

The current speed on eu 1-2 is perfectly fine.

At 80-90 ping on EU servers, i find many of the faster weapons near unblockable, if the other guy uses feints, as it is almost impossible to raise the block fast enough so that the attack doesn't just pass through it.
Increased melee speed will only mean more spamming. Hell, even i don't think i will be able to do anything else.
