    • more than 8 directions for fire/movement?


      does coldstone support more than 8 directions of movement/fire? does it have full 360 support and just not show it? I was wondering because shooting things like arrows might be hard lining up? or are they? have any of you played with shooting a arrow or projectile and did you feel that it was adequate enough to aim and have fun? I think it is because all the games I played back in the day only had 8 directions, some having only four. but games like diablo that have great arrow aim may have changed peoples feeling towards the 8 way shooting.

      ------------------

    • Projectiles (weapons/spells) have full 360-degree capability, but characters are limited to 4 or 8 directions by the underlying square movement grid.

      ------------------
      I don't know what I'm talking about.
      Oh no, here comes another learning experience.

    • so would you have a different set of keys for firing? because if u used the directional keys to aim your guy in a firing direction you would be limited to his square movements? or does it do the diablo thing where you hold a modifier key then click like nuts and fire 360?

      ------------------

    • When firing projectiles with 360-degree capacity, you can either use the attack button to fire and aim with the arrow keys or click on the desired enemy. Clicking is much better because you aren't limited to the character's number of directions.
