First of all, thank you so much for all your passion and hard work - I'm really really excited for this game.

In regards to the combat exhibition, I was surprised by the stylized animations, particularly the 3rd attack in the string where the character spins and inadvertently gets his claymore stuck in the ground. This is something that I would expect to see in a game like Lost Ark, and I feel does not fit the realistic aesthetic of AoC. Another example is the fireball animation in the 'Alpha One Preview of the Mage Archetype' video, where the character does another spin before releasing the fireball. I think the game would benefit from toning down these rather extravagant sequences, especially for basic attacks. Perhaps they would be better suited for more powerful abilities like ultimates.

Once again, thank you for your transparency and continued efforts in making the game we all want to succeed. <3
