it does feel a bit awkward in combat but i think we have been so used to locked combat in aqw that it just feel weird and different but with enough tweaking and refinement we could get a better combat system than the old and outdated one we have in aqw, aq infinity's combat already feels more free and creative with one class then all the other ones have been. you can damage from different angles and combo into each other
I like the new combat with different angles and hold-button abilities, but that makes me think of already existing classes, will they always be limited to locked combat?
@@dahboor5248 Massively doubt it, there would be a crazy amount of content and player retention for them if they actually went and reworked every class, like who wouldn’t be on Design Notes WEEKLY looking at classes like Collector or PaladinSlayer finally getting reworks and shit, it would be like Smash Bros predictions. It would be a great incentive for people to come check out their banked classes too, which is a big problem for high-level players.
They actually added a few areas and quest chains. Farm, noobshire, orcpath abd orctown. The monster stress test is also pretty interesting (in /river). My framerate was really good, even in very crowded maps with lots of monsters. Feels like they improved the performance. I have a 1440p monitor and you can pick a higher resolution than 1080p, but not exactly 1440p.
it seems the mobs and skills have hitboxes and might miss if youre not properly "aligned" to your targer compared to normal aqw where skills just hit monster/s as long as youre in range
I agree with Korey here, they should make the whole place in river and farm connected like in battleon place. It would add more depth to see a creature passing by while walking in a place.
I gotta say I don't like that you have to aim in combat basically every time you wanna grind for a little while you have to find a position where you gonna hit all the mobs in the room. which might not be doable sometimes, also the fact that you have to walk over loot to get it is gonna be a pain.
It's a strange mix between target/action combat kind of.. it feels rather bizarre must feel as so, they also must add a "private join" setting so you can join solo rooms without having to -99999 bcs with a few people farming it will become impossible to hit something, looks decent at least, the runing animation looks really stiff
Really dislike the walking around to see more of the screen design choice. Especially when there are still map screens anyways (which can never be replaced). It just seems really jarring to not be able to see all of what’s there without walking over, which is already jarring on AQW as is through the old system, and would be only more of a ballache if I can’t see the other side of the room too. The walking animation is sorta wonky too, and yeah the class skills feel unresponsive too. Before in AQW you’d spam 12345 because it was braindead, but now you spam 12345 because you have no clue what skill is actually going off. Overall, I feel like a load of these changes were ones dreamt up for mobile. At the expense of sacrificing the solid foundations of AQW on PC, which I’m pretty sure every single fucking person played on if they had a choice. Breach into the Mobile market by all means, but if it results in janky mechanics or limitations on what PC hardware can do, I’m not a fan at all.
you dont need to be a fan at all lol you can still play aqw even if infinity is released.. remember this is still in Tech demo lol its not even alpha test yet .. players always have some negative sht to say then just dont play it when it gets released lol
@@NotAnAstronaut2k A tech demo of course isn’t representative of a final release… but it does indicate the direction they are heading towards. Don’t get me wrong, i’m doing a bit of speculation and assumption work here, so for example maybe they will segregate the PC to Mobile features, or maybe they will be toggleable, or maybe the walking animation will look cleaner in higher FPS/other gear - but if you think I say all this out of a place of hate then you must either be young, dense or a radicalised AE stan. Hell, could even be all three. You can love a thing and still criticise it, because that is how it gets better. Especially in a customer / company relationship. So if you think people shouldn’t talk about questionable design choices or polarised features or controversial balance changes - basically just things they might have a gripe with then suddenly half of YT content is gone LOL… No more tier lists or commentary videos. Korey would be out of a job if all he did was show the weekly release items stone faced. It’s the fact I AM a huge fan of AE that I voice these concerns you fuckin muppet xD You threw the whole book of shit vanilla rebuttals at me there, the best being “just don’t play” LOOOL. Seriously, hop off AE’s dick and give your head a wobble, you’d be an absolutely awful QA tester.
@@NotAnAstronaut2k No no, feedback is important, that’s why they’re doing these alpha tests in the first place, he does have a point with screen scrolling too, they’re gonna have to redesign how they do their quests or encounters if they’re gonna stick with the screen scroll, farming 15 chickens and scrolling across the room sounds pretty exhausting.
i think its called floaty, when you hit a button but the animation or action takes long to animate or delayed it does feel weird hope its just a animation test thing and not gonna be the standard animation skills or the full game the class focus more on the animation rather than the feel and impact which destroy the whole purpose of the remaking the game
The skills and click button character don’t work and have to relog over and over again I mean this is test demo it’s supposed to be like this so they can fix them
wait a minute if umbra skills hit everything around you- do you think that'll make some big animation classes insane in aqw infinity? or is it umbra just being umbra
It also doesn't hit everything around you, all of it is directional, so it very much depends where you are relative to whom you are attacking. You can very easily miss or not hit everyone intended
The demo gameplay felt very good after fixing issue of unable to talk to NPC, at least for what they intended the combat (umbra) to do. I weren’t mind seeing some perma-classes with a few directional abilities, but at same time I prefer that most classes stay as “locked combat” we have now. And stuff like the looting, hopefully they take time to decide if we need these in-dimensional features. As I much prefer less immersion than to physically picking up the lootbags. Umbra is really a test to see what they can do involving the environment, rather they add these possibilities to aqw, than recreate too much.
IT IS FEELING SO WRONG TO SEE AQW WITH SUCH SMOOTH ANIMATIONS
True ☝️😂
I still remember play this game in 10-15fps

Yeah I noticed the fps was better as well. Hope they fix the 1440p being available.
Warlic said that the umbra class isnt really planned for the actual game, it's just a test class that pushes the boundaries of the system.

Yooo can't wait for 2034 to finally play this game 🔥🔥🔥
It looks sooo smooth ...my eyes arent flickering.....i hope it works
will the next tech demo be for non upholders? i missed getting upholder and im sad that i cant take part in these demos

This is their chance to make actual, visible hit boxes and I'm all for it
can i still get umbra demo class? i have upholder but didnt play in last demos i did but it glitched
4:16 you are just describing 2008 aqw

hey, how to join the tech demo game? because I want to try it too
Ah so there’s a bit of the input lag. Seems like that’s the word you were looking for about the delay.
The skills and click button character don’t work and have to relog over and over again I mean this is test demo it’s supposed to be like this so they can fix them
This whole project will go down so hard XD
Just how they abandoned Oversoul.
how do you get access to the tech demo?
wait a minute if umbra skills hit everything around you- do you think that'll make some big animation classes insane in aqw infinity? or is it umbra just being umbra
umbra has directional skills the first class in aqw to have them.
It also doesn't hit everything around you, all of it is directional, so it very much depends where you are relative to whom you are attacking.
You can very easily miss or not hit everyone intended
oh that's sick actually! maybe we'll get even more classes like that if umbra works out!
@@sunkeeper8009 Umbra is just a test class.. this is still tech demo its not even Alpha test yet, ofcourse they will have to improve alot hopefully
@@NotAnAstronaut2k true but hopefully we get more classes in general in the future
If I buy a membership now would I get the 15th upholder badge?
No
nope
15th upholder was in october last year
RIP
how do i get download for aqw infinty tech demo?
I hope the umbral class will be the new alpha pirate for this version. As if it matters people will just pay 100$ and get it.
Istg i saw the post said 13th upholders and then suddenly its 15th wth
Why they dont just apply this to old aqw?
The demo gameplay felt very good after fixing issue of unable to talk to NPC, at least for what they intended the combat (umbra) to do.
I weren’t mind seeing some perma-classes with a few directional abilities, but at same time I prefer that most classes stay as “locked combat” we have now.

As I much prefer less immersion than to physically picking up the lootbags.
Umbra is really a test to see what they can do involving the environment, rather they add these possibilities to aqw, than recreate too much.
Can i play AdventureQuest Worlds: Infinity?
im hoping they revamp some classes like evolved shaman
HOW TO PLAY AND LAUNCH THISS PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME :(
Finally we can play aqw in the fps it was meant for
Ah damn, is the test over? The ONE night I decide not to play lmao.
It's still going right now
It's still going on as of writing this. Before I logged off, I saw Artix in the /battleon area
its still going on right now
@@escanor18 guys wait for me, I’m about an hour and a half away from home
Not liking this idea one can’t exist with the other. Ones gonna die whether that be AQW or Infinity.
I hope I can control my character's movement with WASD instead of clicking
you can use wasd but you still attack with 1234 so might be preferred to still move with mouse.
How do you plsy??
HOW CAN I DOWNLOADET ?
I’m still waiting for the release date
IS IT STILL UP???
Yes
is this going to replace og aqw?!
Nope. Separate game using the same account
Also the mobs movement is very fast
The running animation looks god awful. How have they not gotten one of the core animations that you spend 90% of the game doing right?
Because it’s a placeholder and this is an alpha test.
The running animation looks janky.. needs a change
Npcs look cakey
Soo smoothhh
we need a date already man 😐
W I just came back to the game.
Astonishingly frequent AE L.
The running animation is weird
This looks like aqw3d just in 2d....
Hope they keep aqw sound assets. Don't like aqw3d sounds.
weird ahh aqw
They need to push notifications or something ;-; such garbage, i made it to the first two but i want to be there to make every memory i can.
Okayge
character model animations are so bad
Its not hitting. Yeah because all of umbras attacks are directionals. Mostly line with a couple being circles so yaknow actual gameplay.
