Enmity666 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) How about giving us an ability to switch between two (or more!) stances while on the mission? That would be pretty cool. Yup, that means giving us 2 or more additional stance slots. If you think that we'll get far too much mod points from that, then couldn't DE just...cut in half the amount of mod points these stance mods give you in the first place?

PsychedelicSnake Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I wouldn't expect it with the release of Update 13. However, if Melee 2.0 feels good after a week or two, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to the idea. After all, Melee Fighters and Master Swordsmen can often switch between stances on the fly.

This sums up what I tried saying pretty well. If we have two stances, I feel it should be limited to one Offensive Stance and one Defensive Stance.

SolidSp33d Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Maybe it'll be something you can spec into with the addition of Focus. Maybe a "Fighter" tree for stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)NicoTheSneakyGuy Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah It'd be cool to switch to Defensive and Offensive stances, Like a real sword fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronyn Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Honestly I am not a fan of "stances" in general. It's some contrived video game interpretation of fighting arts that really misses the point of how fighting works so it simpler to comprehend by the untrained and easier to map onto buttons. It's movie stuff where swordsman change stance to counter the others stance as if that what defines the next mili-seconds of combat. Real fighting is fluid, moving from one position to the next, going from movements of deliberate power to movements of flashing speed from moment to moment as the battle calls for it. One rarely "changes stance" so much as adjusts to the situation at hand. but alas.... I have been teaching various fighting arts for 20 years. So I guess my perspective is different than most. Anyway-I see why DE implemented here in the way they did because it allowed them to integrate a bunch of new things into the pre-existing Mod driven customization system. To add a "stance switch" capability right now would mean the ability to swap mods in the middle of a map. The game does not currently support that kind of thing. If DE was going to go so far as to alter that kind of thing for the game I would still rather they simply go in a different way. Add additional moves one can do on the fly without having to "switch stance" first. Edited April 9, 2014 by Ronyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiegraf Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This would be tricky since stances, from what was shown so far, seem to work like Auras in that they provide Mod Capacity for melee weapons; if you were to switch to another stance mid-missions and your new stance didn't have enough MC for your current mod build, it would probably mess things up. The other option would be to have 2 'stance' slots... but then, you might end up with WAY too much MC. Last option would be to be able to toggle between your current melee mod loadouts for your equipped weapon mid-mission. However, that's needlessly complicated and while melee will certainly be more viable, I (personnally) don't see the need for that feature unless you literally decide to use your melee weapon only, no matter what, at the expense of the success of the mission. It's likely to be more about which 'style' you prefer most and fits your playstyle better anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevanChambers Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 And here I am thinking about how underwhelming Melee 2,0 probably will be and how many game-breaking bugs and broken weapons that will follow Update 13. Also not looking forward to all the new levels of grind and farm that will be necessary to get all the new stuff. I am looking forward to all hate threads, though, because they offer good reading. Your underwhelming isnt everyone's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyojinOrion Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I rather like this idea, but my opinion may change once I have had some time to actually play around with U13. Yo yo! Like in Jedi Knights Academy ho ho! God I hate it when people call it that! It's Jedi Academy, not Jedi Knights Academy! Same as when people call it JK3... It is not officially numbered, and is more of an expansion to JK2 than a true sequel. [/irrationalrant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronite Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Nb4 melee 2.0 delay. In all seriousness, how do you guys plan on not getting kd'd by grineer heavies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Erudin Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah. I've been worried about that the whole time as well... Maybe they can make it possible for players to roll away faster, or fix players getting knocked down by the sheer force of the heavy gunner's will(They knock us down even before groundslamming).
