should block/parry work like AoC?

I am obligated by the forumfall law 6 ,section 43B to express utter hate towards AoC, so...
EVERYTHING IN AoC SUCKS, NOTHING LIKE THAT IN DFO!

Make it work like oblivion's blocking.

I fucking love law 6, law 6 is: Everything coming from another mmo exept UO fucking suck.

Then they recently added the paragraph 43B for AoC, and soon the paragraph 44A for WAR

[Lachrymose]

[shnedit]

I don't understand what you're saying here. How does blocking work in AoC?

[PsychoPigeon]

I thought it was that you just hold down "X" and it would block any attack but drain your stamina.

[Eternalsinner]

manual blocking is goin to work like mount and blade/oblivion.

I don't care. It's from AoC so I voted no regardless if it's the most genious blocking system ever invented or not. It's a matter of principle.

Add that the block-system is already decided and you got all arguments you need for the perfect "Never!11"-Answer.

[salbrismind]

I thought it was that you just hold down "X" and it would block any attack but drain your stamina.

I thought it still had a chance to not block...

Anyways, no Aoc was a auto-aim disguised as a crappy real-time.

[Morthor]

M&B blocking was how I imagined it.

[Lorthral]

Mount&blade Style Plzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!1!! !!!!!!one1!!!!!!!!!

Ok, but only because you put so many !!!'s in.

[Steelbadger]

The blocking in AoC was distilled retardation.

No skill envolved, just luck in choose which direction to block in.

[Carnifex]

No. Just no.

How did it actually work? I'm all curious now.

[Thoric]

Hell no.

[VenomKing666]

ALso lol at the biased poll.

[Eternalsinner]

ALso lol at the biased poll.

well what did u expect? :P

[Jonkar]

No because AoC is a turnbased piece of shit.

[Steelbadger]

How did it actually work? I'm all curious now.

Right, it worked using a shield system. Auto-attack could be aimed (in the loosest possible way) into 4 quadrants (although most characters can only aim at the top, left and right, the low quadrant was reserved for melee centric characters).

You could tap 1 to hit to the left, 2 to hit to the top or 3 to hit to the right, there was no true auto-attack as you had to hit one of those buttons every time you took a swing.

Married to this was the shield system where NPC's would adjust their defense in response to your attacks. If you always attacked to the left they would adjust their shields into the left quadrant. They only have 3 "shields" that they can move to any quadrant, and you do more damage the less shields are in your target quadrant.

Players also had the ability to adjust their shields, using ctrl + 1,2 or 3 to move one shield into that quadrant. However there was no way to use this to your advantage as there was no indication of where the next attack was going to go, so altering your shields from the all-rounder positions (one shield in each left, top and right quadrants) was reliant totally on luck against NPCs and downright retarded against players (who could see your shield allocation and attack your weakspots).

Additionally you could use a skill that drained stamina to block all incoming attacks.

It was a nice attempt at evolving the way auto-attack works, but it failed to achieve anything more than worn out keyboards. And the PvP side of it was completely pointless as no-one moved their shields from 1 in each and so it didn't matter where you aimed your attacks.

KOS list.

[IcePillow]

Think I'll have to say no.

[Blixa]

ALso lol at the biased poll.

... look at to poll results; 0, ZERO votes for "yes".

[Tharkon Fargor]

haha 33, 0, 3.
Good poll though, we need to send these sort of subtile signals to the devs...if ye know what I mean.

Do you have a detah wish or are you just completely retarded, AOC DOES NOT WORK. So why would you use that shite as an example, if you were anything other than a big fat troll.

I need to learn that Rule 6: :ohno:

[Jester814]

OP did you even play AoC? That system was probably one of the worst, if not the worst I've ever played.

[Eternalsinner]

I cant belive this post id being bumped so much lol. altho im contributing to the idiocy, but hey.




+1

[MagickalMia]

It was a nice idea, but it just doesnt work and doesnt add anything to the gameplay in my opinion.

[Lethn]

Why the fuck should Darkfall change its core gameplay just because YOU decided to go and piss off to a company that was clearly designing a shit game and YOU knew it? I'm amazed that there are even fanbois for this game anymore.

[SiKFury]

think theve said multiple times that the fighting system will resemble that of Mount&Blade if we are going to speculate on what combat might or might not be like chances are this game will be your best bet.

Oh god no. Block in AoC was a joke, barely even worth remembering that it existed.

[SkuzzyG]

I think they (the devs) should spend considerable time analysing the system of combat employed by AoC.

Funcom spent years hyping their new and innovative combat system and rightly so. MMO combat has never been so much fun as it is in AoC. Nothing beats pushing 1, waiting 2 seconds til a little indicator lights so you know to press 3, waiting again for another little indicator so you know to press 5, and on and on until you have pressed multiple buttons and watched a fabulous animated decapitation. It's just so realistic and immersive.

DFO should seriously consider implementing such a system. Why fix MMO combat when, at least in AoCs case, it isn't broken? I mean do we really want just a hack 'n' slash MMO where skill and speed are more important than clicking the right button at that right time to make a pretty animated fatality? I think not. That loss of control for a few seconds while the animation completes gives us a chance to absorb the scenery and look at the breasts on our female characters. I for one have levelled several female alts to level 20 without ever wearing clothing just to appreciate the sense of realism that nudity provides in PvP combat.

:bang: :eek: :bang:

[gnomeking]

It's hard to say "No".:ohno:

[Deja vu]

I never played AoC so I cant say with personal experience. From reading a few of the posts how ever I think that no is a good one.

[Loadafreak]

I voted no, because I want Darkfall to be successful.

[badula]

i didn't like that feature in aoc so it's a no!

because it's something manual that feels passive!

[Ebethil]

AoC sucks horribly, and nothing that is AoC should ever be put into another game again. All copies of AoC have to be confiscated and shot into the sun.

[Thee Leprechaun]

well ive never played AoC, i never seen any of my friends play AoC, and i've never watched any gameplay videos of AoC, and since AoC sucks dick and I didnt even have to play or watch anything about it to know that I will have to say NO!!!

THat's not the point it is biased because the NO! is in caps with an exclamation mark, and also BEFORE "yes" wich is usually first.

[Porthios]

I take it in the ass.KOS list. Agreed.
