I don't believe it was in the last beta build, but I thought I'd let you know that a shield bash skill is in the latest skill tree for the warrior class. You have to block with your shield first, then you have a brief window where you can activate your shield bash skill as a counterattack. A successful shield bash will stun you opponent for a few seconds. So you will have to make a choice between dual wielding weapons or using 1 weapon and a shield and fight more defensively. There are tradeoffs involved obviously, and your skill tree is a chance for you to customize your character to your own style. Other classes have similar choices to make, so there is plenty of flexibility in the gameplay. As several of the beta testers mentioned, all of the classes have powers and abilities to use during combat. If you want to maximize your effectiveness, you can't just hit the attack button and then go grab a sandwich
There's a lot of pages to read through, I guess I hadn't mentioned it before! Along with the new artwork being added to the game, I've been revisiting the skill trees and making sure we give the player as many unique, fun skills as possible. Some things are still being tweaked, so don't be surprised if there are some more changes before we release!
How open world is it? Are there multiple loading screens or like one once you start up the game? Are there dragons? I LOVE DRAGONS
Actually, I think that's great. Nothing stupider (as far as realistic combat is concerned) than a shield bash you can activate at will.
once the interface stuff is done we might show a short video. there is still a lot of fine tuning on the graphics end.
Awesome, cant wait. thank you for responding so quickly too.(btw it took me 5 tries to spell awesome correctly :-/
I'll be playing this game on my iPad when it comes out (assuming it makes sense to do so), so I hope it looks as beautiful at 2x mode as it does normally I can imagine this being a game that would give my iPhone 3G a run for its money, so I'd rather play it on my iPad and have it run perfectly than chugging along on my iPhone. I'm not even going to mention an iPad version though, because that wouldn't be fair to you guys. Keep up the hard work, can't wait to play it!
Yea I guess, use to play an online game where you could bash at will, was fun watching ppl miss Will class also affect How fast you walk? Rogues, archers etc walk faster than warriors
Nope, I don't think anyone walks faster than anyone,equipment doesn't change your walking speed either. The fastest way to get around Aralon I believe is by using a horse
With the horse do you control it? and can you go any where you want? or is it like crusade of destiny where you pick your destination and the horse just automatically takes you there?
Goddamn. I just saw a few pictures of Aralon. God bless You, guys. You take mobile gaming somewhere it has never been before. Aralon is a milestone - it's asskicking, amazing and stunning. Gothic FTW, Aralon WINS.
So, is there a first person view? I know that quite a few people have already asked this (been following this since before the rework), but I've never saw it answered. Devs, if it's not, please do consider adding this in. Like others have stated before, it really does add a lot to the immersiveness of a game world. Thanks!
theres no FP view currently. we'll consider it though. just played Aralon on my 3GS and even at this rough stage I can tell its going to be frickin awesome. Peter from Rimelands is making a gorgeous looking GUI right now.
You have full control of the horse. In the beta version you could actually summon your mount from anywhere -- with unintentionally funny results. Hope that's changed in the new version.
