    Since Melee is such an important mechanic, we should have the ability to attack downward with melee.

    Mobs located directly below the player can never be hit with a melee attack. But this should be possible.

    If you've ever been above a mob in a cave, but unable to attack it with a sword you know what I mean.


    Thoughts?

    You can click ''S'' to crouch and attack enemies a little lower from where you are

    i like the if you have a 360 aim attack, it might make the game easier but i still feels that shooting should be the same as attacking. and in response would be a major hit on attack speed so ppl need to aim and attack in a more tactical way.

    high risk high reward style
    short sword>light-narrow swipe/heavy-strong charge stab
    pro: do more damage then long sword when you use charge stab/fastest attack speed
    con: shortest range/using charge stab make you weak on miss

    balance style
    long sword>light-narrow swipe attack/heavy-flurry of hit
    pro: most balance weapon
    con: does not excel at anything

    tactical style
    spear>light-long stab attack/heavy-throw spear
    pro: little longer then heavy's reach w/ mid dmg
    con: heavy attack will make you weaponless unless you have another weapon or pick up the spear again

    brute force style
    heavy weapon> light-45 degree attack cone style/heavy-180 degree attack cone style
    pro: highest dmg w/ mid reach vs other type
    con: slowest attack speed

    This is extremely important and I don't see why they even tried to make melee attacks un-aimable.

    Makes game easier? That kind of difficulty is not what good challenge is about.

    The current system needs adjusting. Creating a whole new system is not necessary.

    true but still would like to have the option to attack more then one direction, everything i say before its nothing more than a hopeful dream really.
