Most people in pvp will use archery as their primary ranged attack. Disable Shot will slow your opponent AND do a significant amount of ranged damage. If you're running way and you get hit in the back it will almost always crit.

If you're playing as a mage, you may only have 100 to 150 hit points (depending on what level you are). Most archery attacks will do about 1/3 of your...

I just logged into the game to see how everything is going with the new release and stuff, and i noticed that the game is REALLY empty of players, like i runned around Ardoris, Kingsport and Owl's Head, and found just one player during this time. I noticed this in other times i logged in and stuff, is it just my game? Are there other people with the same problem?]]> 19 This just happened...

-Augmented plate armor (I bought from a vendor for 1,000 gold) Is WAY too powerful. As of now I am level 22, and with this armor I RARELY take damage. Standing in the middle of 10 skeletons and slowly auto attacking them to death is my daily XP grind. Yet with the leather armor I had before, I died in 3 hits. Major balance is needed....

I know if you are flagged you take that chance but really, what is the point?

So PvP flagged open, if you are standing around in a town what is the point of killing them, No skill , no challenge , no reward, no value, nothing but plan out and out pointless killing?

I would love to see SotA remove the auto-attack, and instead replace it with something similar to Elder Scroll's mouse click attacks. A quick click of the left button results in a basic "auto attack" quality attack. Holding down the button for a few seconds results in a stronger attack. This would add a bit more depth to combat, and...
