If AO got a combat rework or if it just changed completely what would you want it to be like?

I would like a m1 m1 m1 m1 deepwoken typa game

Vetex already tried a turn-based game. Unfortunately it was pretty janky, inconsistent, and just didn’t feel all that great. Especially compared to more recent games like Block Tales.

Block tales really is just adventure story done right

something turn based like HSR of Hexaria

25

Hexaria got me into slay the spire because I’ve been craving a turn based card game

26

I’d really appreciate it if AO combat would modernize (it’s currently literal 2014 combat :sob:)

so yea maybe make magic not just pressing t, wasd x2 and spamming keybinds to use lol

(also morrock solos all of your trash builds :rofl:)

anything but the current crappy m1 combat that most games currently use

29

I don’t know about brain rot bro :sob:

Yeah I’m not sure if it should be like this but I do think it should be more m1 based

I’m curious to see what would be considered a modern ao combat

He is trying to say that ao combat is too similiar to aa’s, which is not that great for today’s standard.
you can simply look at other games like the strongest battlegrounds, it’s combat even if combo based still feels more fair compared to ao’s, where one wrong move can leave you with a red -420 on your screen

Oh I meant what would a modern version of it even be like?

32

Not sure.
The best i could think of is lowering the ridicolous damage numbers and maybe making it less movement based

33

remove combat, make ao a fishing game instead

34

I just wish clashing actually worked most of the time. Like why are both of us getting damaged when our attacks clearly clashed? :frpensive:

35

Parry system to do dmg instead

36

Having to have strategy behind your attacks (so spamming is much less effective but clashes are also useful) and anything could be viable (Even armor less could have a buff to be useful in some way)

Go out of your way to code clashing mechanic
Zero reason to actually use said mechanic

from the little bit of ao pvp i have done this is actually not entirely true although clashes do definitely play a much smaller hand nowadays than they used to

(doesnt elaborate because im tired)
