Yes, that doesn't happen in shooters; while you're aiming at one enemy, no one can sneak up behind you to stab you with a knife, right?

Well, if you're a noob and aim for 10 seconds, then yes. But in general, this rarely happens in shooters, and you definitely won't sit and stare at the enemy for that long. He'll take you down first, or you'll take him down. In Might and Magic, this is possible because he might be far away. And while you're walking towards him... The point is that battles in shooters happen faster than in Might and Magic. Therefore, it's quite difficult to sneak up from behind, and it happens much less often because you'll be spotted quickly, and you won't have time to get close or do anything. In Might and Magic, you can also spot an enemy from behind, but you won't get away from him quickly, especially if there's another one in front, which means you have to watch out for two, which is more difficult than focusing on one and shooting at him. +

I've played shooters, and I'm good at them. I've played Battlefield, the one set in the future, including knife fights.

In shooters, you dodge, maneuver, crouch, and jump.

It doesn't always help, especially if they're shooting in bursts or with explosives. Therefore, the role of all this is very small, and you just need to shoot first. Oh yeah, in Might and Magic, armor also restricts movement, and you can't really jump in it. But without it, you're good.

And if we're talking about it, we weren't just discussing Might and Magic and shooters. It all started with MMORPGs and World of Warcraft. The comparison is partly with them. I hope you haven't forgotten

In MMOs, skill is what truly matters. I have a healer friend who, even without top-tier gear, heals better than some healers with the best equipment. The same applies to any other game; skill matters more than gear.

Consequently, you need to keep track of two targets, which is more challenging than focusing on one and shooting at it.

It's clear that someone is overthinking things. In a shooter, while engaging with one enemy, another cannot join the fight. Two against one never happens in shooters.

This is more difficult than just aiming at one target and shooting.

Archie, have you been watching too many Westerns?

Speaking of combat and dynamics in MMORPGs, here's an illustrative video. The most interesting part starts at 2:30; those interested can watch the whole video. Just be warned, there's a lot of swearing in it.

you're slow. yes, it might be, but the situation there is resolved very quickly by someone's death, and the "reveal" process lasts for two to three seconds. therefore, it's almost non-existent there. or are you saying that you're reviewing with the enemy and standing there, counting the time?)

And in MMORPGs, skills decide everything. I have a healer friend who heals better without decent gear than some healers with top-tier gear. The same goes for any other game; skills matter more than gear.

well, well. there, professions and gear decide everything. and definitely more than in Heroes of Might and Magic. although you don't need much gear for healing, at least in some games. although if they give a faster cast speed, it won't hurt.
what does the healer have to do with it? lol. you're comparing healing and combat. healing involves quickly switching targets and pressing keyboard buttons. as is the case with PvP in these games, although there you don't need to switch targets if it's one on one.

He betrayed you, a full-on macho heterosexual, and went off to join a group of effeminate guys.

It seems that only guys will be there, judging by the posts. So, essentially, it's already a gay group.

Healing involves quickly switching targets and pressing keyboard buttons.

Being a healer is more difficult than it seems, Archie. Even considering that he usually has only one or two targets (tanks).

I know what it means to be a healer and I understand it perfectly. It's just that comparing healing to battles in Might and Magic...
And having one or two targets is the easiest part. But it's not always that simple. It depends on the tanks, and various situations can arise. From technical problems to the appearance of various enemy players (enemy races, clans, speedrunners, etc.).

Stupid Klov. I meant something else.

Mold, why aren't you online on ICQ?

Did anyone see A Nebo on ICQ? He wasn't online on Skype either.

no. he rarely showed up on ICQ anyway. and even less so these days. the most plausible explanation is that he doesn't have internet access, because it's the first of the month, and they might have cut off his service if he has an outstanding bill. although he did show up on the 1st, but disappeared quickly. maybe he logged in from his phone or somewhere else, who knows. he should have warned us, though.

Why aren't you on ICQ?

Am I supposed to be?

yeah, I think I already wrote that to you.
