the question i want to propose to the Pub here at mmorpg.com is simple:

Whats your dream MMO combat system?

-skillsets

-abilties

-movement

-overall feel

-reactiveness

What have you loved in past games? What have you hated in past games? Why was it good/crappy? The more indepth the better, id say go all out if you wanted to, describing eveything you like/dont.

i threw a poll on to this just to see more of what people would pick over what. thanks for your time guys!

BELOW POLL IS CRAP

POST # 7 Has the real intented Poll, please scroll down!

I really want a smooth FPS MMO.

When I think of SWTOR and what could of been if they instead used a BattleFront style of gameplay for the Jedi and ranged classes, I cry.

OP, honestly i dont like your poll. Developers have the ability to add the 3 answers in the poll into 1 combat system. So dont ask for one choice in this poll. I vote for all three together. As soon as you ask for splitting options that can work well together, developers contiue to make beautiful yet crappy games with missing features.

a lot of people really love twitch gameplay... as do i.

but how do mmo server limitations restrict this from happening? i dont know the answer. good interenet connection = win most of the time? what about people with shit connections?

Skyrim combat - with aiming  (simular to tera, but more fluid and dynamic like skryim). i love the First Person Shooter type combat with the spell bolts and the arrows. That would be great

with a PC interface (oposed to the xbox interface)

I prefer mmo combat to have hard counters. I dont want every class to be balanced and equal to every other class. Making every class viable 1v1 against each other is counter intuitive to the mmo mindset.

i think a lot of people might like what your describing here... indeed

If you have that sort of combat you don't have an mmorpg, you have an mmofps, which I wouldn't be interested in playing. I am fine with the standard mmo combat system, but maybe find some different ways of making it happen.  A healer more focused on shields and HoTs and debuffs or maybe one that heals via inficting melee dmg, more class diversity, but make the changes to combat more to do with the mobs, like better AI and encounters etc.

i see what your saying here. but i also know skyrim isnt an fps.

I just hate first person games, although skyrim was so good I actually played it a bit. I like 3rd person games, games designed for 3rd person, not with a 3rd person mode.

I think that our culture is too collectively ADHD for a company to bother making a proper mmo any more. WoW, mmorpgs to the lowest common denominator, is probably the best we can hope for.

 I love when people use blanket statments like this. Obviously everyone who likes FPS games has ADHD and are ruining all the fun for real gamers like yourself.

Well, I think when you can put on the goggles and be IN the mmorpg they'll probably get it too right, that's probably 50 years off though. :)

IMO, DCUO got it right. Sure, they had/have some technical glitches, but it is good stuff.

That's exactly what I was saying! Board drama queen much?

Arkham City / Red Dead Redemption

FPS quality combat.

Vindictus mechanics with secret world skill wheel. 

I have not intention of playing SW beyond beta, but the skill system is very nice. 

a mix of DCUO and Vindictus would be good
