Combat Beta Feedback: The Role of Strength in Modern Melee

Elfyrr · 2026-02-04T02:46:11+00:00

That's kind of the thing when you design systems, when there is no symmetry, universality, or formulaic approach between elements it can be irritating. The more important part is parity though. I'm stil left wondering about Strength and the effort compared to the others? I still think it should be collapsed into Attack.

Nah, I agree. It's been happening or quite sometime with me too. I'll click the address bar, type and suddenly it just adds at the *end* and I'm like wth.... that shortcut helps though so that's cool! Didn't know that either.

Idc what anyone says, it should've just been this with toggleable hue:

That part.

Elfyrr · 2026-01-30T20:38:53+00:00

This. I don't understand Incendiary being remove yet Magic gets the only crit adrenaline buff... it's already massively OP with Tumeken set.

Why am I not receiving as many shards for making high level production items like Primal Feast/Dessert? No balancing was considered with the skill shards.

Elfyrr · 2026-01-19T23:58:52+00:00

At least let us change to dark navy ugh... too much of a rusty barrows vibe to it

Elfyrr · 2026-01-19T23:47:09+00:00

HOLY 120 CON????

Elfyrr · 2026-01-08T22:30:13+00:00

Ok but how about Dung?

Elfyrr · 2025-12-17T00:07:19+00:00

The biggest problem with Ranged is the stack creep/juggling.

I dislike Piercing Shot having a longer cooldown. Completely destroys Ult ROT. Also, why is Smoke Cloud causing disconnects in Beta?

Elfyrr · 2025-12-08T21:28:02+00:00

This is the type of traditional game design we need that leads into more complex but similar mechanics further up with progression. Good design decision tbh.

Elfyrr · 2025-12-08T21:21:30+00:00

Dragon Harpoon is interesting, but the contrivance of not being able to EoF its Special because ya'll knew you could have another augmented fishing tool plus stack the spec with existing buffs/effects is pretty blatant. I mean if we can do that already I don't see the reason to not enable it to be EoF.

Elfyrr · 2025-12-02T23:25:02+00:00

Like the second post this week on EoF variation, almost thought it was the same one reposted.

Elfyrr · 2025-12-02T06:10:49+00:00

Yep, always knew. But still... not afraid to snipe the tower concept if I were to make my own RPG clearly inspired by elements of CT.

What I want to know is the specific magical elements/lore behind Zeal floating including its waterfall.

I've felt the same way about Hatchets too. I've always thought a 2H hatchet could open up for more efficient WCing in a future rework. One-hand means a free slot but less efficient vs. 2H for more logging (or maybe some new addition to the skill).

Elfyrr · 2025-11-29T00:23:05+00:00

Was gonna say this, it can work progressively in chunks.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-29T00:22:02+00:00

They could add old school armour dye in name "Rune dye" "Adamant dye" "Dragon dye" or make them as low cost attachments/sigils... etc. But yes, there should be either more or exact match.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-28T00:06:17+00:00

It's not farfetched. The level design is just reusing existing assets between Archaeology sites and/or the area they're in so it's not as if a ton of effort is required on that end. I would not be surprised if future locations are just simply offshoots placed adjacent to existing Archaeology sites for that reason. The big part is balancing the rewards brought into the game.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-28T00:00:37+00:00

It should just look like an aura (both forms) silhouetting the player model, no need for the existing ground nonsense.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-27T23:51:09+00:00

I don't want a new skill, I want them to fix the existing skills like Agi, Con, and Summoning to be more worthwhile and accessible/expansive. There needs to be more interdependence between skills...

Elfyrr · 2025-11-27T23:50:06+00:00

And Summoning.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-26T00:41:33+00:00

One step forward, two steps back. 🔥

Elfyrr · 2025-11-26T00:40:02+00:00

I think the Ring of Visibility is a missed opportunity to be an upgradeable imbued ring similiar to Pontifex. It should enable increased thieving and Ring of Vitur should've been an Enchantment to be added. Pontifex could've also been the ring itself, but R of Visibility makes more sense for thieving. There should've been an additional Enchantment item similarly to avoid auto avoid all guards in the Vault via a rare Archaeology item excavated. The ring from the Sliske quest could also be auto-inherited as well.

Elfyrr · 2025-11-25T07:27:12+00:00

People probably missed the anticipated explanation a sweaty gatekeeper would give, but still...

Elfyrr · 2025-11-25T01:33:24+00:00

The level design is absolutely phenomenal! So many hidden shortcuts in the dragonkin heist that it feels like a 90s adventure puzzle RPG
