The AC2 beta test has recently started so it comes as no surprise that the major sites begin to throw some coverage at us. Head on over to GameSpot for their beta impressions.
Here's something revealing about combat in AC2:But the most popular path to fame and fortune in Dereth will still be by pounding a lot of monsters into oblivion with arrows, swords, and powerful magic spells. Rest assured that in Asheron's Call 2, there will be plenty of monsters to slay and plenty of ways to slay them. Though players will still have three general ways in which to do battle--close combat with melee weapons, ranged combat with bows and thrown weapons, and magic--each of these abilities will be considerably different from the first game. In Asheron's Call, players would invest skill points into different skills, like proficiency with a sword or with a bow, but unfortunately, this led to the "killer template." Players would tinker with their skills to come up with the single most powerful combinations of skills, and then lots of other players would follow suit. Asheron's Call 2 will instead use a skill tree system, which, like in Dark Age of Camelot, will let you invest skill points into low-level skills to unlock higher-level skills. |
