Combat system
TCoS - Combat The combat system in TCoS is made to increase the effect of tactical choices made by the player during combat. Furthermore there are too many games that use a combat system that is too dependent on damage outcome using formulas and percentages that sort of take away player control. For instance if a combatant wins due to a lucky streak of critical hits or by using a weapon which does random bonus damage, the outcome is not based on player skill but on sheer luck.
Targeting System à la FPS One of the things that is very different about TCoS in comparison to most other MMOGs, is the targeting system. The game has no auto attack combat where a player can target an opponent and click the attack button once and wait until the opponent is defeated. Instead TCoS will let you hit where you swing by actually keeping your opponent manually targeted using your targeting 'crosshair'. So if a player wins a battle, it means your choices and reactions made the difference, not dice rolls and luck.
Skills If a player has to aim and make tactical choices during combat it is not the idea to swamp the player with tons of spells and skills, at least not all at the same time. Players will have access to a large number of different skills they can use during combat, but never more than a handful are displayed on screen at any time.
It sounds interesting and what the hell - its a free 2 week premium account, so worth checking out.
