Runes of Magic US / AU

Umm why add a whole new mechanic just so you can move away from an attack? Simply just move out of the way, problem solved and doesn't give RW the chance to break something substantial recoding an entirely unnecessary mechanic.

This isn't guild wars 2.

Definitely this.

If dodging/evading/lunging was enabled like GW2.

You would have to remove Dodge as a skill to Dex-users. (and Wisdom users)

I dont want to play a game where I have to dodge lunge or block manually.

Quoted from "ycavan;577233"

Being able to see the target area would allow people to evade it.

Because this happens in real life too... You can see where bombs and mines are in war-zones because of the glowing red circles on the ground.

The way RoM is built, that GW2 mechanic would not work here.

In GW2, you still have to aim at whatever you're fighting, and mobs/players have to aim at you as well. Thus, being able to roll to the side to dodge skills actually works. Skills work like real projectiles and can miss a target. Here, running off to the side won't stop an attack from hitting you, unless it's a casted, area-restricted AoE from a boss. In which case, you shouldn't be in the AoE range anyway if you can't survive it. Projectiles here auto-hone to you, they're not directional like in that game.

I agree that the more fast-paced type of gameplay is more fun, for me personally, but RoM won't work like that, nor should it. The entire gameplay mechanic would have to be rewritten, and there's no point in turning a game into something it's never been just to copy a popular MMO.
