Combat Update Insight:
We know, that combat/animations overhaul is long overdue and community is getting impatient, to say the least. So, just a quick heads up for you guys: we are polishing. It’s a long, yet rewarding process, as we are tweaking little details over and over again to exterminate bugs and make sure it feels great to roam and fight. Team members responsible for combat work on it non-stop. Unfortunately, such is the nature of games development: every system, especially core mechanics, needs to be iterated to make it perfect and that’s why it takes so much time. On the bright side though – that’s polish phase already! We intensively debug and test internally. Sneak peek of old vs new system will be released as soon as possible.
