Would you like there to be "skillshot" type abilities in-game?

DDuke

So I had this funny idea and I thought I'd share it with the forums; what if there were "skillshot" type abilities in-game? Would you like it and if so, why? Why not?

Basicly, they are targeted small frontal cones that require very good aiming & timing.

TheLaw

Yes!

I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea, once all the lag is fixed. There are abilities in-game like this already, though. Sometimes even with perfect aim, they don't hit their target.

No.

Nope, I live in Brazil, 200ms pls no skillshots, I value a lot more strategy and tactics over pure twitch gameplay.

I don't care either way.

I am inclined to agree with this, though I will add that I enjoy the "twitch" elements already in place. My opinion may change when I get more into PvP... but right now it's already hard enough to get PuGs coordinated enough to finish vet dungeon...

I have consoles for pure reaction time stuff (Prince of Persia anyone?).

Also, does Arrow Spray count as a skillshot?

Need a skillshot trebuchet that kills anyone standing on a pinpoint. Lag would hardly make a difference on top of that siege weapon delay.

Soris

Yes!

Sounds nice. Actually I prefer more like darkfall style combat or mount&blade style where you need to aim properly and block by direction etc.. But that would indeed be chaotic

Also not sure if arrow spray counts as a skill shot but biting jabs is certainly a skillshot ^^

I would love to see auto-aim be a thing of the past. Has no place in a game that claims so much 'skill'

The only real skill is knowing how to build a character.

Kuro1n

Yes!

It would be cool however I am not sure the game would support it sadly. Lag and other things play a role in this as well and the game is not balanced around it. Would it be client sided or server sided? If server it's gonna be a major pain in the balls for anyone with higher ping. Still I voted yes because it would be neat if possible to solve in a good manner (but I feel like there are other things that should keep focus, like better systems in the game making PVP and the world more interesting long term).

every attack allready is a skillshot in this game thx to no (functional) target lock...
so no need to even talk about.

Not really. The targeting is this game is incredibly forgiving. Get the mouse pointed even somewhat close to your target at it will hit. That being said, until they improve their network/servers true skillshots would only hurt the game.
