Star Wars Galaxies: SWG takes the Saliva out of Combat

While playing I noticed some new treats and some old resurected ones like, wepons now show, Combat Level Required, Speed, Min - Max DMG as well as Base DPS (damage done without the use of specials of Ctirical Strikes).

Did I say Critical Strikes? Yes indeed I did, as well with this prototype, if you are attacking a player and they move you have a chance of scoring a +Glancing Blow+ which only does partial damage it is a cross between a hit and miss or doged attack, as well, when using specials you will now have the chance of scoring a +Critical Hit+ which scores a major damage hit to your opponent, but, these are a chance to hit not every special will get a +Critical Hit+.

At first look I was very impressed with this system and do hope it goes to live servers when completed. It does bring back a challenge and variety to combat with slowed combat the opponent has time now to actually think if they wish to use a heal or special or what type of special to use.

With that said from my 2 cents, and 2 thumbs up from me, I want to hear from you the readers, and what you think of this combat prototype that is on TC2 now for you to download and try.

Send your feedback to bloodraven@warcry.com and I will read them all and compile up your likes, dislikes or suggestions and early next week, I will have the results of the input and some quotes as well from the mail I receive.

May The Force Be With You and may you be on Mustafar at least 30 mins before Sher Kar knows your there cuz if this goes live she won't go down smooth. :P
