    Google is a thing and can answer any questions you have on the game a lot faster and probably more honestly than anything you'd find on a forum.

    You're asking other people to spend their time educating you on something you're perfectly capable of educating yourself.

    Here's the link to the website.

    There are 3 versions of Dark Souls combat (read: hack/slash with skills and dodging) that I like from best to worst:

    Kingdoms of Amalur - fastest pace and if your reaction timing is good, you won't ever take damage, even when using a greatsword
    Dark Souls - Ye Olde Standard
    Monster Hunter - Slower pace, worse animation locks, but a shit ton of fun boss fights and some really good environmental stuff to compensate

    New World looks like a snooze-fest that falls below monster hunter.

    Conversely, even wow's retarded reduced APM (which they introduced in... BFA I think?) Still puts it at a much higher APM than this game. Yeah, you don't have to worry about your own attacks landing, but positioning is still hugely important and you absolutely have to perfect your use of skills in appropriate orders at appropriate times for high-end content. The difference between a skilled player and a pleb, all else equal, is an order of magnitude. New world doesn't look like it has the flexibility to ensure elite players get to shine properly.

    I like my games with high skill ceilings and large skill gaps.
    WoWs combat is mostly spam one main button and mix in a few other buttons and thats it, a decent player can play without even paying attention to the rotation as it should be mostly muscle memory and you get visual indicators for procs to use. WoW skill level has a very low skill ceiling to play most classes to mythic raiding level, im not saying NW is high skill required but its far more interactive gameplay than what WoW offers.

    No games offers the best combat system.

    altogether between 3 weapons there is 9 abilities and 6 normal weapon attacks including light/heavy, WoWs combat is still just standing still spamming a rotation with occasional movement, NW its at least more involved combat.

    How can it be more interesting when like 3/4 of the combat in New World is either LMB or RMB for light or heavy attacking the enemy?

    WoW has in depth class mechanics and passives that actually change things, New World doesn't have that. WoW's combat is much more in depth with how classes work, using their own resources etc. New World has nothing of the sort. New World combat is maybe the worst and most boring I've ever encountered in an MMORPG. Your combat gameplay at level 10 is exactly the same as it is at max level. There is no progression.

    I'm still inclined to disagree. There is a huge variation in rotation (at least there was in ret paladin) with procs, ability timing, CDs, aoe vs ST, etc. All with way higher APM than NW. You're glossing over nuance... or talking about some other classes that are overly simple like demon hunter was in BfA. Caveat: I haven't played shadowlands at all. Maybe it's even slower and dumber now?

    Anyways, hotkey DDR where you have to pay attention and prioritize procs properly to maximize DPS (again, look at 99th percentile parses vs even 70th percentile parses... huge difference) is way more involved than NW's system. Using like 20 different abilities in the span of a minute in a maximized fashion cannot possibly be less engaging than using 1-3 abilities with the odd situational ability (which is never even needed) of NW.

    And you end up with using like 2-3. I was interested in NW but from what I see it looks boring for me. WoW rotation/priority is much more engagaging. And Im telling this even when Im unsubbed for like 4 months now.

    Im not saying NW is that much better in combat, its just its combat is more indepth than WoW, NW has dodge and accuracy mechanics, WoW has none of that, its just hit a button over and over in WoW and use a few other skills when you have resource or a proc. WoW combat is the most boring combat system that is currently around.

    There is very little variation in WoW combat, most melee specs play roughtly the same and all ranged specs play about the same, slightly different rotations does not mean the combat is any different, you are still just spamming the same buttons over and over, and you dont even need to pay attention to the class in WoW its that braindead to play.

    Most classes in WoW come down to 5 abilities with only a slight variation here and there, rotation in WoW is second nature it requires minimal focus, mostly spamming one ability most of the fight is hardly engaging combat, WoW is the most boring combat system available.

    Hard disagree considering Asmongold showed you can beat all the content in NW just by spamming throwing axes.

    Much engagement, such combat system.

    You cant just spam attack in NW, the only attacks you can are light/heavy everything else is on a cd, in WoW you could clear equivelant difficulty content just spamming 1 button also, im not saying NW combat is anything special, its just a little more indepth than boring WoW spam.

    yeah i don't think you're going to find the answers you're looking for if you're trying to phrase things this way.

    "wow is just spamming 1 button" is a great way to identify someone that hasn't actually played wow in ages at any level beyond LFR and WQ's.

    The problem with 'Dark Souls combat' is that it works great in an offline single player game but tends to quickly fall apart online when ping and lag are introduced.
    You need really good netcode to deal with the positional info when you have 2 players running circles around each other swinging.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    It's not, it's buy-to-play. These are all questions that can be answered by checking out the site, which has been linked multiple times, or a basic Google search. I mean, I get this is a thread for questions and discussion, but so far every question you've asked makes it seem like you haven't even bothered to check out the product page for the game.

    This is just for single target, and this is also NOT a "rotation" because you cannot memorize it. Hopo generation, procs, etc turn it into a priority where you CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE AWARE OF WHAT YOURE DOING and cannot just do a muscle memory "rotation" like you keep insinuating.

    crusader strike
    judgment
    templar's verdict
    blade of justice
    avenging wrath
    wake of ashes
    hammer of wrath
    execution sentence
    trinket

    There might not be variation in how you approach any encounter (meaning you go through the same thought processes every encounter) BUT that doesn't mean there's no variation. Just because play style is nearly encounter agnostic (again, AOE vs ST changes things drastically) doesn't mean you're not physically doing something different every encounter.

    This is boiling down to what you consider "complex" in combat. I consider DDR/guitar hero button patterns and reactions more complex than needing to be super aware of boss animations to time dodges and boring attacks. Dark souls is my favorite type of combat system, but wow's combat is definitely more complex than DS. And DS is far more complex than NW so...

    No, you wont be able to clear content in WoW spamming 1 button. Im not gonna login to WoW just to count everything but for sp you use like more than 8 abilities not counting covennat mechanics or trinkets. Also theres alot of procs for many classes, its not static rotation anymore.

    You did not even mention 1 thing that makes NW combat superior for you while keep repeating some nonsenses about 1 button spam and muscle memory in WoW.

    looking forward to trying out the open beta(assuming i get in, their opt in was weird).

    it's hard to really know what to make of it from watching videos. setting looks cool and all but combat less so, so i'm glad there's a chance to check it out prior to commiting to a purchase.
    I had fun once, it was terrible.

    All you do in WoW is hit abilities on cd and burn resource and thats it, most players dont even pay attention to the class itself thats how easy it is to play a class in WoW, boring tab targetting combat where the combat is all the same regardless of class. And you can clear WoW content spamming 1 button, NW expeditions should be considered HC dungeons and those can be cleared using 1 ability in WoW.

    Dodging, blocking, counter attacking, critical hits from good aiming, just some things NW combat does better than WoW.

    In NW the combat is slowed down and based a little more on skill and consequences of using a skill at the wrong time.

    I mean... you're just wrong? You act like I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. You're being intentionally hyperbolic and handwaving extreme amounts of nuance to bolster your point. That's fucking horrible argument making, y0.

    Also, boiling down gameplay to "A button press that does a thing is the same as any other button press that does a thing!" is lolworthy. Aiming isn't inherently more complex. Having to be mindful of animations isn't inherently more complex.

    Also, no one cares about the faceroll content of wow. I actively avoided world quests, LFR, etc because they were boring. Just like the entirety of NW's combat.

    In NW the combat is slowed down and based a little more on skill and consequences of using a skill at the wrong time.
    Slowed down being 30 APM, no reaction time required to speak of due to that slowness, etc. The only way you get punished is if you're disabled with the reaction time of an 80 year old.
