    I add those questions :
    - Are you satisfied with the fighting system of most MMO's?
    - What improvement would you propose?
    - Can you show some exceptions in some games?

    To me, fighting is only select your best gear/spell and hit the monster(s).
    If the monsters are weak ones -> grinding while one shooting them
    If the monsters are resistants -> you hit.... hit... hit.... wait..... then kill or get killed if you don't have enough pots and can't escape

    Most of the time monsters allways have the same attack. There is even no true difference between long range/small range....

    Few propositions :
    The geography could be of more importance (with clever monsters that choose where to go)
    Varying the types of attack the monsters use
    Some games use the weakness cycles style of strategy (like the basic Fire->water->....)
    ......

    1. No, I want more freedom when fighting.
    2. Focus more on fighting rather use the same button mashing system over and over.
    3. A few games offer more realistic fighting like Darkfall. The targeting system is not automatic.

    When I read the title, I was like "Do what Blazblue/Guilty Gear" does (those games are like Starcraft, in fighting game form), but then I saw that it was about fighting action MMOs.

    Perhaps make some attacks have properties like high, mid, or low and some attacks have advantage over others like Soul Calibur's system. Perhaps make attacks have a rocks-papers-scissors system as well.

    Of course, that's gonna be a major issue when you're fighting more than one enemy at a time, but that'd probably be something for the developers to consider. Maybe quicktime scenes for each attacker? Make them attack one at a time, but you suffer penalties because of taking on more than one enemy (like how in Ragnarok you lose flee)?

    Good thread that might could have done better in a different forum besides Debates:).

    1. Fighting Systems can always be improved:).
    2. A fighting system that is deep yet can be played learned quickly.
    3. TERA has a good fighting system.

    I like DCUO's fighting system. It has the typical power bar found in most MMO's but also adds unlockable combos as you progress. Like as a brawler one of the stun attacks is click then click again but hold... also others like left click twice then hold right click etc. This keeps it simple but adds depth to the combat. It's quite a lot of clicking however.

    I agree with the DC Universe Online fighting system. Everyone has quick and potentially powerful melee attacks and mobility abilities that are always on and ready to go. Stack powers on top of that and you can set up some interesting combos while keeping things fast and exciting.

    I don't like the arcade button-mashing combos, though, since those are hard to remember, especially in a good throwdown. Instead, just combine your basic attacks and add in quick power usage. That's really all you need to grab someone, throw them into the air, then blast them over the horizon with eye beams.
