I was really worried about the combat system when they released the plans on what they were up to.. Having tried it firsthand, and FC moving away a bit from their initial idea, its actually a really nice system compared to all the "click-and-forget" systems out there.. That said, i have not tried any pvp at all yet due to the choppyness of the game atm, simply no use since i will get slaugthered no matter what when the client hangs
And yes, as i said all along, those that have a good connection will have a huge advantage in pvp still.. Not as bad as i initially thought, but way more than in the existing sticky-targeting games..
Main worry for me will be how to bind the keys.. Im a total nublet when it comes to left-hand motorics and to "feel" where my fingers are on the keyboard.. So i pray for a smart way to keybind the interface
Other than that, im lvl 15ish on my Dark Templar atm.. Feels like a weak class, but since i dont have anything to really compare with yet, i dunno.. Maybe the game is supposed to be rock hard at certain chokepoints
Btw, Plen, is there any reason at all to play actively with the shields in pvp, or just leave them as is at this point in time when we know to little about combos certain classes use with great effect ??
