Template:Combat revamp

4K Alpha-1 preview open world PvP (2v2).

All of you out there who are waiting to see all of these changes remember that these are iterative changes and they're kind of rolled out in different phases. So you're going to see kind of the early aspect of them and don't expect them to be fully polished or all the animations to have yet been adapted.

A revamped combat system will be rolled out during and post Alpha-1 testing. This was originally targeted to be ready to test in the Alpha-1 March preview testing.

• The goal is to give more agency to the player and achieve a more fluid flow of combat with greater mobility when using abilities.
• The current hybrid tab and action combat system will remain after the revamp.
• This revamp will not represent the final form of combat, but will set the general direction that combat will be taking.
• The revamp will be iterative and will be rolled out to testers in different phases.
  • The May 14 weekend Alpha-1 testing did not include the combat revamp.

The revamp is taking a bit longer than expected. We are still in the process of overhauling the backend of the combat and ability systems before we touch the front end components. The changes and prototypes will be rolled out slowly and in phases during and post alpha one. – Steven Sharif
