Possibly the dumbest gameplay I have seen in any MMO.

I can not believe how dumb this gameplay is.
For almost 3 minutes, all the character does is turn to the back of the mob.
The isometric viewpoint makes it look like one of those mobile Android games.
Just terrible.

I pity you if you have never experienced anything remotely more challenging than soloing a mob by running around his back.
That's pretty much it as there seems to be a "back attack bonus" that keeps happening.
I'm not sure exactly what the immunity is. the player is either using an attack that the boss is immune to or the boss is immune to regular attacks.

Well ... you're entitled to your opinion. I just happen to think your opinion is kinda stupid. What's wrong with combat that actually requires positioning? Are you so used to tab targeting that anything that requires effort/skill scares you? Also, it's third person, also BD has the best graphics of any MMO I've ever seen. I'd probably say the best graphics in the history of MMOs but I havent played every MMO.
this requires effort and skill?
what?!
what are you comparing this game against, hello kitty online?
You are the one that deserves pity for judging a book by its cover. I play an assassin in Aion and he has skills that are designed to be used on a mobs back so I am always trying to attack the mobs back. You cant say something is dumb when you don't even know whats going on.
Yes, effort and skill, I know those are foreign concepts to you but try to understand them.
Well, this seems to be an "action combat" game. And positioning is important as well as just "getting out of the way".
In Tera you don't want to be in the front of any BAM when it's doing a special attack. Unless of course you are the tank.
Actually, even in dark souls you want to move out of the way/roll out of the way or block and hope you don't recoil so they get a second attack.
Can you point to an "action combat" fantasy game that doesn't require you to roll out of the way, move out of the way or block?

Would it had been better if she was just standing in one spot at the front of the mob? I don't understand what you are looking for. This is about as skilful as you are going to get for a mmo. She is moving around to better kill the boss.
You fanboy is showing... ^
I've seen mob AI in EQ respond faster than that, did the big guy just eat a barrel of molasses or wha? It was like watching some hyper active kid poke an old blind circus elephant with a stick, I felt sorry for the thing.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/OP just didn't eloquently state why he thinks the combat is bad. He's not talking about the players attacks so much as the lack of any real interaction by way of the boss. It just kind of swings at the tank now and then... no big aoe's to avoid etc.... no dragon tails lashing behind.... that sort of thing.
He just needs to learn how to better present his feelings.

Your illiteracy is showing.
Was having trouble seeing much of anything with all the black stuff getting thrown around. Then I started to think about squid people with ink attacks and that was much more interesting.
I'm about as indifferent about the game as one could possibly be. I know next to nothing about it.
But god damn that video made it look awful. That boss hardly reacted to anything. The black shit everywhere was completely unnecessary and distracting. It was just 3 minutes of yawn.
Sure the graphics are pretty ok, but I'm sick and tired of MMORPGs sacrificing everything good about the genre for some shinier pixels. I play FFXIV and sometimes I think about how much could have been added to the game world if they hadn't felt the need to push the graphics to the limit. (seamless zones anyone?)
Tend to agree, that was a boring fight tbh, i can only imagine it was one of the early boss fights, and hopefully not indicative of the rest of the game, the combat in the fight was far too simplistic, even the 'effects' couldn't hide how limited the fight was, or how limited the Boss AI was.
Does anyone know if the later battles improve much at all or is that a realistic example of a Boss fight in the game? Lazy coding if that is the case tbh
i'm pretty sure game is still in alpha/beta, you judge the Boss AI? or the combat? how about the player it self too, all i can say is if you look at other combat videos the monsters are hard, and AI is still being tweaked , as i notice a issue with the AI but they don't have this issue with normal mods, so its in testing phase , don't hate base on lack off AI or something on a game that is not finished.
I know for fact the combat is good and fine, also depends on the class, and the player , the boss is a test not complete with all its AI , so don't judge on this video alone.

And that boss isn't early bosses but the boss that drop one of best weapon in this game , as the one who uploaded the clip said.
From the combat , i can see this game try to focus on PVP instead of PVE.
The PVE seem like build for solo like most of new MMORPGs , But for rare drop boss , it bad , indeed .
I used to have hope on new crop of Korea MMORPGs , but it seem like all of them will get to nowhere , all of them try to mix sandbox with theme park .
Early levels quest hub , late levels pure grind then end game instance gear grind . And PVP extra.
The fight lasted less than 2 minutes.
The game doesn't have an isometric viewpoint.
