Social Interactions, block system needs tweaking.
After playing absolver since its launch, there is no doubt it's a great game with potential... But I feel Sloclaps decision to move this away from an mmorpg really hindered it's potential...but none the less there are some tweaks I would suggest that would help improve the game.
1. When inviting someone into my group, for whatever reason and generally when someone dies, I lose sight of them and they are no longer in my group. This is highly irritating and I considered putting down the game permanently as for me personally how I play games socially is important.
2. There is no actual way to communicate via text. Perhaps a text box input would be helpful in addition to a map to locate people...identify people online from Npcs.... Not to mention a map to simply be able to navigate your way around Adal... Why this is not in the game already is beyond comprehension.
3. The blocking system I feel could do with some tweaks. Sometimes when fighting it tends to get boring when I am going blow for blow with someone for several minute at a time without actually being able to land a blow until I've reduced their stamina enough to actually get them...which takes ages
.. Then when I finally land a blow there stamina has regenerated and we are back to square one......this becomes tedious and quite frankly boring and unentertainimg to play... Perhaps a way to break the guard with throws? Or reduced stamina on guard...Hey even implement some jujitsu just to mix things up...none the less this element to the game needs to be seriously looked into.
4. Player voices would be a nice touch and add a bit more of an element into feeling my charcters individuality against the rest. Right now everyone seema so similar... I think some more updates leading to more and more customization would enhance player experience. At least for me personally but im sure many feel the same.
5. Soundtrack on the game could be better...it's abit boring and quiet... Maybe that's just me but I like a bit of exciting music particularly during battle... Even better sound of effects of hearing the enemy and myself experience pain when fighting... Groans and shouts to further elevate the feel of fighting... Right now someone can take a pretty hard hook to the face and zero response... It just lacks in my opinion.
Overall interesting mechanics and great Job sloclap but if u can do all of the above and more... You'd be sitting on gold and perhaps will lead on to create more chains for this game...
