Attack angle is a real bummer

Being unable to attack upward or downward is really annoying, especially when some enemies like fulings seem to be able to hit me at an angle when I can't hit back.

I don't mind if some weapons don't hit at angles or have different characteristics but it's ridiculous in close combat on a slope to need to use a bow and arrow.

I don't see where's the catch in that. I don't have a problem with the enemies being able to attack me when they're supposed to, otherwise why not just turn on the god mode.

It helps with trees also, my pet peeve is swinging and missing at a log on the ground.

This game really needs a combo system that progress ( adding hits or different moveset ) with the weapon skill progression to fix that crappy combo we already have and add more importance to rise weapon skills

No, what it needs is just proper aiming like any FPS would have. Combos are already the problem because the animations are too ridgid.

I am sure this is an issue that will be addressed in an update eventually.
