CABAL 2 Feature Showcase - Combat
"When is CABAL 2 coming out?" This has EASILY been one of the questions I get asked the most whether it's in YouTube comments, on the Free to Play Cast, on a livestream, or even just through email. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked this in my 6+ years of covering MMOs. Until recently, we didn't have an answer. Once we found out that the North American and European releases were targeted for this spring though, at least we knew when, even if we knew almost nothing about the game itself.
Today, ESTSoft has released the first of a four part video series to start the information flow for the free to play CABAL 2. This video focuses totally on combat and rolls through how you'll rely on consecutive attacks, combos, combinations, and a special battle mode to tear through your enemies. Each of these concepts aren't too difficult to understand, but being able to pull them off in certain situations is going to take timing and skill. Add in the ability for tanks and healers to vary their combos and drop extra protective buffs or healing spells instead and you have a system that seems to have some variety and decision making to your rotation, even if the game utilizes a familiar tab targeting system.
I have to say, I like it so far. Check out the over 12 minute video and let me know your thoughts below! Make sure you pay the game's website a visit to sign up for beta if you haven't already.

Will this all end up being "too little, too late," though, for the "we hear you" post?
The came will expand to larger testing, increased testing frequency, and an early access launch.
You need to be in the US or Canada for this particular test and you'll have to fill out a short survey ahead of hopping in.
It's all in an effort to achieve balance and allow you to be your best vampire.
But really this game trying to make combo's like its something new is.... facepalm. I really hate games that insult a persons intelligence. Dev's need to stop holding the players hand. We don't need it *slaps hand away*. I am surprised this game is not out yet. This kinda generic game would be out in a matter of months. After all its outdated 101 mmo gameplay. Mobs, quest, grind, and a story nobody gives a flying cow about because they just click on through to Accept and proceed. Anyways, looks pretty and that's the only step-up its got from Cabal online. Other then that I don't think their is anything here to be impressed by.
It's a point and click MMORPG for the love of god, not some kind of hybrid like Skyforge or action MMORPG like Terra, so stop comparing it with both of those.
Saying that its boring because its point and click means that you don't particularly like that mmorpg genre...
skyforge combat would be the minimum i settle for, at least their mobs have patterns instead of this generic shit show
