Title says it all, everyone that was on the fence because of Active blocking in the game, its now offical and looks great. Im glad they could sneak this in, it def makes the waiting extra worth it.

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense. |
I have voted 'no', since I have already pre ordered. :P |

Hm.. other games have skills that you can use that allows you to block if you have a shield equipped. Is there any particular difference between those systems and aoc's? I watched the video but am unsure of the differences, other than a particular visual animation of your character raising a shield. There is no system in game that detects actual coordinate contact between a weapon and your character (its one based on distance and angle of attack), so in what way does active blocking differ? |

I believe holding ctrl is a standard block and ctrl+direction moves the shield in the path of an incomming blow. I also voted no due to pre-order status. |

Is it true Active blocking? DDO has kind of active blocking, but it still has some dice rolls in it. This will be first fully active if what I believe you are saying is what you are. Would be really cool. I was planning on ordering it anyway, cause it is closest to combat in an MMO that I want. Been playing alot of Rakion lately, in that phase again. Hoping it will turn out implemented well.

Zomg really , go play ddo it has this; infact it has one of the best real time active combat systems ever. Still that doesn't make it popular. |

Actually, no it is not completely active!!! It still depends on dice rolls, but you have a lot better chance when you use block. |

Looks like using an Xbox 360 controller will allow for easy blocking. |

It's not as active as I would like, but I'll take what I can get. This is a smart move Funcom. |
