Gamespy talks to the Asheron's Call 2 team in an interview they published today. It's about skills and combat in the sequel, and we provide you this snip to wet your mouth a little more:
GameSpy: In the new combat system, characters will be able to perform any one of a number of "special moves," either special attacks or spells or skills. Do you think the system will get too complicated for people who just want to bash on baddies?
The AC2 Team: You can easily go many levels with only the auto-attack key. You won't go as fast, and you'll be hunting below your level, but it certainly can be done. That said, for the first 10 levels or so, players do not have all that many skills available to them. Instead of being hit with 10 skills at level 5 and floundering around trying to find out what's what, skill acquisition is slow at the lowest levels, allowing players to grow into their characters. |
