law.9410 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 In fighting games they have a practice mode where you can program the enemy bot to do certain things: do a specific combos, take specific defensive actions, etc... It's super useful because it allows you to learn how to counter and react to animations in a low stakes calm environment. The repetition is endless and you don't have to bother a friend to do the same thing over and over again while you practice.The enemy npcs in the mist are kind of similar except they're completely useless because no one plays the build they play or acts like them. Programming each npc to have an arsenal of combos and using them randomly (with zero lag in between skills) would be huge and much more useful then them just using whatever. You could even have some kind of tutorial popup explaining what the enemy npc is doing. finally, they should probably use the default models for each class, or, make them respect the 'use default models' option.

Crab Fear.1624 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 There are active 1 v 1 rooms, and they also have players in there that are unsurprisingly willing to help you learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law.9410 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 excuse me? 1v1 rooms are not that active good sir, at least in NA. So I've been learning matchups by doing conquest which is really frustrating because it's hard to learn in XvX situations with all kinds of crazy shit flying around. A 1v1 arena with maybe some amulet restrictions and rewards to draw people in would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.9071 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 they are fairly active on NA, like with anything, there are dead hours. id rather not convert to server time, as id probably make an error, so ill opt for hours before and after daily server reset.id say the prime time to do 1v1s are around 2-3 hours before reset and 3-5 hours after it. after then they tend to dwindle down to 1 or 2 pairs of guys fighting non-stop. like with any game mode it can vary in population from time to time and day to day.

Eurantien.4632 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 This is a post that was relevant in 2013, and still relevant today.We should also have golems that do stuff like in the GW1 training area, pulse aegis, constantly block, etc. So people can actually practice skill interactions and mechanics without having to use another person.

Yannir.4132 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I can wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. Would be really beneficial to have a place like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
