Is it true combat in this game is real-time, action-rpg oriented? (http://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=28603#post28603)

So the same concept would be applied to your dodging: you move but that doesn't mean the attack missed you. And as stated above if you do not have the tumble/dodge/combat reflexes feats (or their equivalents) you aren't going to be able to dodge/parry/roll/etc.

If you move, and the swing doesn't physically hit you, you don't get hit.

Please Raven, before posting ANYTHING else view this short training film.
Thanks in advance!!!We don't need sarcastic responses like this, especially on the Newbie Forum -- this forum was created for exactly these types of posts! (And note that while I quoted Vhael, this applies to all of you who replied -- none of you even bothered to answer Raven's original question.)
There is no demo for the game. We're going to be starting our beta soon, and you'll be welcome (even encouraged) to apply, but there's no guarantee that you'll get in.
We did produce a video over the summer that, while non-interactive, shows off a lot of our game. You can download the video here:

Not sure exactly what it does for roleplaying, but yes, we've got pressure plates.
