Alpha-1 split-body melee weapon combat sneak peek.[1]

I can move while swinging on this guy. I can back up then continue to attack him. Just have complete control over my character while attacking.[1]Steven Sharif

A revamped combat system will be rolled out during and post Alpha-1 testing based on player feedback.[2][3][4][5]

I just want to give kudos to the combat team, because in my opinion having played this and watched this and seen the community's response to it, they've done a great job in moving away from what was our direction prior to Alpha-1 to now having developed for Alpha-2 a significantly revamped combat experience; and I think it feels good and it plays well and it's fun.[2]Steven Sharif

  • The current hybrid tab and action combat system will remain after the revamp.[6]
  • This revamp will not represent the final form of combat, but will set the general direction that combat will be taking.[8]
  • The revamp will be iterative and will be rolled out to testers in different phases.[7]
  • The developers will be testing whether or not to use global cooldowns GCDs on different types of abilities during Alpha-2.[9]
    • As of July 2023 global cooldowns are not currently in the game.[10]
    • Instant cast abilities are referred to as off-global-cooldown or OGCD abilities.[10]

The revamped combat system will feature split-body animations, where the character's upper body can be locked by weapon attack animations while the lower body is free to continue moving.[1][11][12]

You'll be able to move forward while swinging your weapon; and this will allow you complete control over your weapon attacks for melee.[1]Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 combat was focused on core functionality rather than combat balance.[12] Alpha-2 combat will include archetypes, significant ability support, augments, split-body combat, weapon attacks, and many additional items, among other things.[13]
