No idea how to initiate combat.

I'm not sure where to look, but I can't seem to find info regarding how to actually do combat. I finally managed to acquire a weapon but, I can't really figure out where to go and what to fight, or even how to start fighting :/

 

Double-click on your target. You will attack based on an automatic timer.

 

Well I'm fighting stuff, finally but I can't tell if I'm actually hurting it... I came across a cave with a bunch of bandits, which aren't aggressive, a necromancer guy and 2 red named mobs that kill me. I managed to kill one of the bandits, no loot, and couldn't kill anything else.

 

Well after sitting for several minutes I managed to kill the 2 red named things. They took a craptonne of damage before dying and the skeleton really dishes out damage died attacking him. I must say I'm kind of liking combat, animations look retarded but I suppose thats to be expected in pre-alpha. All in all it's shaping up nicely.

 

I like the classic timed swing combat, using spacing and timing to maximize output and minimize input damage. I think the loot will be scarce at this time if even existent as the are going to be operating a loot pool. Loot will naturally increase as items are made/bought and trashed.

 

Yeah I don't think combat was the primary reason for this release, what's in there now is pretty painful and obviously a placeholder.

Still - we can finally kill things
