There are some setups that seem to encourage spamming buttons, but many where that would be a bad idea. Similar to LoL, if you’re constantly spamming your abilities just because they are up, you won’t have them when they are actually needed. And many of them are situational or can be used more effectively in some circumstances than others.

Characters seemingly skate and I feel disconnected from them. Jumping and falling are done all wrong. The little polished details like sound effects on character movements, hits, deaths are missing. Combat consists of not even a tab — just face your target and spam a button. Mindless, unimmersing, and boring. Even GW1 felt more immersive.

And no – all subtlty is lost in large scale combat. But its perty seeing all those aoe effects.

Eventually things will shake out and the top-ranked servers will go at it.

That way all these alleged “pvp pro” servers can climb up the ladder to play against each other?

Anyway, spamming probably wouldn’t win me a lot of 1v1 matchups with more experienced players, but when I played, I did just fine with button mashing. What about in larger groups? Doesn’t seem like you’d have to do much besides mash. Sure didn’t when I played.
