Beta 4.5 - Combat Updates
Tonight's build includes the second round of combat tweaks.
Clicking the left mouse button will now initiate an attack. Continuously clicking will continue the regular attack combo. You can also hold down the button to keep attacking. The main difference between this and the old system is that a single click will create an attack rather than letting go of the mouse button causing the character to immediate stop attacking.
If you stop clicking or let go of the left-mouse button, your character will finish the attack animation before going back to the idle animation.
In addition, the regular attack combo has been reduced from four attacks to three, with the third attack doing more damage than the first two. The four attack combo was too long and this new version flows a lot better.
Blocking no longer has a timer associated with it. You can hold a block as long as you want, however blocking an attack does use stamina. You can interrupt an attack at any time by blocking or dodging.
I feel like these changes give you a lot more control during combat while also feeling a lot better overall. I would love to hear what you think as well!
