Revert aiming back to MO1 (Archery, Magic)

[Komodor]

I'd like to suggest to copy paste aiming mechanics of bows and magic from MO1.
With the sluggish melee combat system in MO2 bows and magic are a lot more potent. On top of that the aiming of these things is so simplified its really hard to miss even moving target. I believe adding a bit of skill to these mechanics would only help to balance it. In MO1 you had to learn how to aim properly and not just laser point and click. Also with future plans to fix INT curve and add better materials for bows I think those changes need to have place.

How is the aiming of ecunemical magic in MO2 any different than in MO1?

 

[Komodor]

In MO1 you need to aim at target precisely, hitboxes are not larger than body itself

Seems you didn´t tried to aim magic in MO2 because it´s exactly as how you are describing.

 

[Goltarion]

Agree on archery
Magic indeed seems to bethe same targeting system as MO1

 

[StreamerLord]

You have a brief amount of time to release the spell while off target. You can not do this in MO1.

 

[Komodor]

Yeah its good example what I'm talking about.

There is drag casting in MO2 like in early MO1, it was later fixed.

I wouldn’t say it’s any different than late mo1 maybe a little harder

There was no drag casting in late MO1, I'd say its a pretty big difference

I feel like it’s the same level of drag you could do in late mo 1.

you could still flick your mouse around after you cast its purely visual though.

its exactly the same as MO1 late game. There is no drag casting in MO2. What you are seeing from the vids is a delay from when the caster released the spell and the animation shooting. The hit boxes are exactly the same tight (often times annoyingly so because you miss when you release between someones arms or legs).

This is done client side so its perfect precision hitboxes for the most part...The delay is so both parties can see/register the hit at the same time.

This, exactly.

High ping means you have to be pretty precise with magic much like it was with late MO1, i haven't play MO2 on low ping yet though.

Bow aiming feel like a shooter how it is now, old system was much more fun

 

[Jackdstripper]

Just leave it as is. The wable bow mechanic in MO1 was nothing but a frustrating and artificial irritant that nobody asked for. Completely retarded and unneeded. Just fix the damage each individual bow does, and balance the stam consumption accordingly and don’t make OP horses which turn into retardedly strong MA/MC.

Magic, in the state that it is, doesn’t need any additional aiming handicaps.it’s bad enough you can’t kite and everyone has stam less bows.

 

[StreamerLord]

It would be nice if we had some spells traveling in the air and maybe a few different casting animations.

I too miss old archery aiming, felt a lot more legit. This is like unresponsive darkfall bows that shoot slow and have lag after where you cant start shooting again.

My biggest bow beef is having to hold your bow back when its pulled to do max damage. My bow is back, it isnt getting magically stronger. I'd prefer mo1 fast shoot times but less damage.
