My credentials are: first person in the world to reach 100-0 on live servers 2v2 in wow in 2008 and I’m multi-rank 1 and an ocean of glad titles and I have aspergers (hypersensitivity, for example to RESPONSIVENESS in a game). Whenever I parry an attack or roll and I hold down the attack button to charge an attack, if I hold down the button before the game is “ready” to accept the input then nothing happens, the game doesn’t continually check for buttons being held, so NOTHING ends up happening even though I sit there holding the button. This is the worst type of feeling in a game because it feels insanely unresponsive and janky and clunky. This is probably the most important thing you can have in a game like this to make it have the “Blizzard North” levels of quality control in polish. I am not joking. On top of this you can’t even dodge roll out of animations so if you have a slow weapon you are just CUCKED. Raxxanterax explained the triple penalty to you guys, and on top of the triple penalty of rolling an already started attack, it just feels UNRESPONSIVE, AND THIS IS “BLIZZARD NORTH” POLISH STUFF! You guys are ruining slow weapons just by having this here. It adds nothing to the game except jank.
Another awful thing you have to fix is the stamina gauge. It is so small I literally can’t see it. I have to guess how much I have left because of how small it is. Thanks for reading and I am so happy you guys decided to get rid of the stat system. It doesn’t belong and you are awesome for realizing it.
I also wish you would put in manual adjustment how long the memory for pressing 2 rolls in a row is. It feels a bit too lenient. Sometimes I press twice by accident and it forces me into a 2nd roll that I didn’t want just because it remembers the input forever, and this also feels, you guessed it, not responsive (or too responsive perhaps).
Another thing I’d like to see is to be able to hold a direction to keep scrolling or inputting values. If I’m putting stat points into something, I want to be able to hold right to dump all the points into that skill. As it is I have to go 1 by 1 and it’s annoying because I have arthritis
And please, I beg you, add some sort of glint or telegraph to enemies’ attacks. I really hate the low IQ “look at these animations only and die 10 times to learn the parry/dodge timings because fuck you” this is awful. I absolutely hate how unfair it feels and it makes my blood boil. It makes almost everyone’s blood boil. A game has to be hard but the difficulty needs to be FAIR. Not fucking bullshit cheap stupid time-wasting deaths that you could never see coming because you haven’t seen the animations 40 times and learn by trial and error
Edit: Please don’t name the dual wield sword class Squire… Nobody wants to play a class called Squire. A Squire is a low-level pathetic noob stereotype. Make it something badass. I hope this is just a placeholder name. There are soooooooooo many other cool names you could pick. Rogue for example is infinitely better than Squire
