The combat overhaul for Wurm Online has been planned for a while it seems and is available on the test server, and is meant to make combat more engaging.
With the intention of making the combat more interactive and readable, we’ve changed up a lot – the stance mechanics, special moves, and we gave it all a lot of visual feedback to keep your eyes away from the combat log, and all on the action.
More content is also on the way in the form of improved animal-keeping mechanics, and an exploration-themed update. Read more about that in the latest Valrei International.
