The only thing it has going for it is that getting to maximum level is a journey, everything is rather hard, in classic particularly it will be quite slow and nearly impossible at times to progress in an appropriate time without a celebration especially during 16-18 because kralls hit such as trucks. PvP feels unique because that is pretty much all there's to it at the aion classic kinah end game witht the exception of running a few sponge dungeons and raids mainly for the enhancement products, or equipment that you would sell to buy enhancement products, the quality of PvP is not the best, it reminds me a great deal of GunZ playerbase where they think it's the best Third Person Shooter but in reality that match has these enormous issues with the quality of the gameplay you just wonder how can anyone thing that, same thing happens with PvP at Aion.
Far from the same thing as a GCD. Animation duration differs from skill to skill which is the reverse of"global". Also as mentioned in the top remark, there are a lot of technical tricks revolving about animation that when mastered, puts you in a huge advantage based on the class you're playing. For instance a ranger who doesn't know how to slideshot or jumpshot will not be able to kite nearly and a person who does.
In terms of the ping, yes it absolutely matters but the remark about requiring sub 20ms to perform melee is way overblown. I played everywhere from 60-80ms and had no issues dueling both skilled players with 20-30ms. Yes you can at times get the"you're too far off" message despite being alongside a target but I attribute that to imperceptible terrain obstacles on certain maps rather than a constant issue.
However, the trade-off is well worthwhile in my opinion - which being fast paced battle that flows nicely with a high ability ceiling.
I was gonna say that he is probably not chasing properly, or didn't have an extendable weapon. The game never gave me too much issues with not being in range, unless it had been intended when I was fighting with a ranged char with CC.
In Terms of the ping, I am concerned. I am getting 90 ping or so because I live on the west coast. I wish they had buy aion classic kinah eu an east coast and west coast host. This isn't Korea. NA is enormous, and we do not have the connection latency KR has.
