So regarding the coming update, Hopes has been hinting, teasing it sometimes with the preview screens etc, but what's still kept under wraps about it is the Combat system.
So what do you guys all think, or hope the combat will turn out like in the gameplay?
Well, I've asked Hopes earlier once if the contracts would contain RNG to which he replied it wouldn't, so it's still possible to have 0 failed contracts. Despite the amount of extra work I am kinda hoping somewhere there will be a *Jab* or a reference depending how you play these things, can imagine some fun dialogue with Wilfred or Luna or even during promotions depending on how much effort you put into completing these.
(However I'd understand if that would be too much though.. On the other hand Hopes was already keeping track of that stat...)
Aside from that, we haven't seen much of the changes it would seem you can explore more and run into events or certain situations, rewards like renders and the mention of lewd stuff there. I am really looking forward to all that. The contracts in their current form, which are just based on statistics and the items you purchased. Is a fast way to earn money and really easy to complete them. (I would even just use ctrl to be done with them as fast as possible) Which became old and repetitive fast (though I didn't really mind)
Now if these contracts are still as repetitive but involve more interaction, it could really flop I wouldn't like to do the same "Interactive" mini adventure multiple times for money. So I am hoping there is some balance there.
As for combat itself I really don't know, it's hard to do right/implement well. If I look at other games with a combat system it is either QTE (quick time events) Which I absolutely hate *(Battle for Luvia has this for example) Or it is turn based (better imho but still very lackluster to make exciting) Ataegina comes to mind. So I am hoping it is just all scripted, based on the stats you as a player have accumulated and the items you posses (bought, found what ever) and you either succeed or fail.
But who knows, I just really wanna find out and play!
