If it’s like City of Heroes, then melee players are mostly protected against getting knocked about, whereas squishier characters and mobs get knocked down, up and back by suitable abilities. Nice looking animations, just as I would expect.

Looks a bit…and I’ll probably get slaughtered…but the combat looks a little WoW-esque. Run up to something, hit it for a while. Neither of them seem to react much (apart from the initial ’smack little creature away’ move)

Am I expecting too much from an MMO? Maybe. But surely a Super-Hero MMO should be, well, super. And heroic.

Not that impressive, really. I wonder if they’re pulling their punches or not.

That fountain is in City of Heros, they are everywhere but mainly found inside of Atlas park behind the central goverment building. There is also one in Steel city if my memory serves me right, it is found at the giant statue.

I rarely buy or play a game based on graphics luckily for me, I pity the people that go with that sort of theory. Graphics make the game, bollocks.
If the gameplay is good and something you want, then you will love the game. I can not wait to play this game for example.

Mph. Agreed that the animations aren’t altogether convincing. I guess blocking was being employed in that fight, but you couldn’t really tell for sure. Still, it’s nice to see something from it.

Is that not a reskinned video of the Starwars MMO you shown us a few days back?

Distinct lack of knockback/lightsaber damage.

Could have used more physics– felt weird to see them wailing on each-other and not being knocked back at all.
