Yeah, playing in God Mode sure is cool, lol.
cooolio
Not bad.
I like the armor indicator, interesting component.
We'll see just how successful this system is with the masses very soon!
AoC combat is sure among the most exciting these days. However I just sincerely advise everyone who plays it to buy a Logitech gamepad and program your combos. Its WAY too much key juggling otherwise, with a gamepad you just program a line of keys into one, and unlike the keyboard with a gamepad each button is close enough. After half an hour AoC PVP always my left hand hurt like hell.
As to the shields... I found them kinda pointless. Its fun and cool to react to the enemies shield change, but myself... I never found myself able to predict from what angle an enemy would attack in time. *shrug* Cant imagine anyone besides a Jedi who forsees the future to make serious use of this feature on your own shields.
Very nice video.
