The Other Side of the Looking Glass - December 23, 2005

**Megarittz**

Interesting video. Not as fluid as I hoped, but certainly better than the current system. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

SgtClunk was in a picture taken by Walrus! Oh the humanity! It burns, it burns!

Seriously, that guy has caused me and TGS so much grief in and out of game.

Other than that, looks pretty sweet. Shame we don't get to see the updates to data miner SMILEY

Apparently the new name for Ranged Combat Tactics is Ballistic
Accuracy. And the pistol Walrus is using downgrades it by 3. Maybe
weapons will actually make since now, with pistols being less accurate
than rifles, which currently have a -5 combat tactics downgrade.

Meh, sgtclunks a pretty cool guy believe it or not. Just likes to say noob alot. It's a reflex.

the video

well it looks like the normal fighting

as for the ss it looks **bleep** cool

**Dxy**

.......I love you.

might sound sarcastic but its really the truth of many players, and pretty sure its on the developer's minds as well

HOW ABOUT FIXING SOME BUGS!?!?!?!?!

the game is eat up with the SAME bugs from way back in the beta, how about erradicating these bugs before possibly adding many more with a whole new combat system which most likely will add a whole hell of alot more bugs

I would so like to play the game for hours on end with out a crash to the desktop every 20 mins, or fight a mob for red frags and not have the entire area just go into evade

a new combat system might be a nice addition, but a bug free game would be 20,000 times better

Thanks for adding another row of hotbars, SOE.

This gives me some hope in the game, although I still think the power/speed stuff should have been left in the place it was and not take up hotbar room, this revision is looking interesting and I have many ideas to help the combat system improve.

**MxO-Insertion**

ha, that was awesome! Can't wait to get in there and try it out & test

**cloudwolf**

I have to admit i like the new hotbar (though i have to say the buff bar looks a little... out of place and cheesy like it is connecting the 2 hotbars, cant it just be a vertical bar at the side?) but like MM and others, im still watching our current combat system but with a couple of new animations and a new UI...

The main thing i was looking for in CR2.0 was the removal of zero sum... this is still taking turns, this is still CR1.0...

Also another major point brought up was that they were trying to streamline the opponent 'getting up' as much as possible, apparently we wouldnt be standing around in a cool pose waiting for our opponent to get to their feet but again this is exactly what i see.

Not trying to sound harsh or get the devs down its just my input

Getting owned by a npc 3 level's lower..

Oh it looked great alright..

**RemagDiv**

Double hotbars is a very welcome additition, thank you for adding it! Now you just need to increase the code archive. SMILEY

The video did look a bit the same as it is now, but then again it's an early video, and we were just watching.
