[Wicked Combat] Steam advertises Wicked as a “Visceral, precision” Action RPG. The Official Game Overview from last month continues: We decided to create an animation driven combat system, which to us meant that every attack you make should be carefully considered. We wanted to bring…

A lot to unpack here. I’m going to discuss this bit-by-bit and make it more digestible. [image] TeoH: Ranged weapons can already play entirely from range due to the current state of Focus% on Damage affixes, so this change will only really impact people who were not already taking advantage of …

I would say, especially in a Souls Like game, that if ranged weapon have a balance issue, as a general rule I would tweak the AIs first, not the player skills or attributes. At a high level we all know how playing a ranged weapon should feel like and I don’t think that there is that much to reinven…

Maybe they will add in harder content and monsters in game. It seems like there will be multiple difficulty’s to the crucible. So right now you just blast content and are able to kill shit fast once you get some good runes and what not. And maybe focus builds could be nurfed a bit or they can buff s…

I’m sorry to disappoint but this game is a mixture of world exploration that Moon is known for, but also the repetitive content from ARPGs. The Crucible will be expanded upon in the future, it’s Thomas’s ambitious vision to have it styled after Hades.

That is sadly, for me, why, like I said in this post, it feels like two very distinct games … And seeing the popularity of this post I don’t think I’m the only one worrying …

What are you talking about? I made a mage and I couldn’t put a bunch of stats into health, equip load or stamina. Have you made a mage yet?!

Could you try to conversate a little bit more politely? You are super confrontational in your posts.
