Das Tal May 31 Alpha PvP Video

This video showcases the intense PvP of Das Tal

I’m afraid that gameplay footage does not do this game
justice. To the casual observer the gameplay is skittish and extremely
fast-paced and, in a word, overwhelming. There is so much happening in every
frame that there’s no way to understand what’s going on and the video gets
tuned out and is unappreciated for the sheer amount of heart-pounding action
that the game entails. At least, that’s how I felt when I watched DT vids. Some
crucial aspects of the game that gets lost in the video are the amount of battlefield
awareness that is required at every moment and the critical precision of
aiming.

A couple helpful tips when watching: try to follow my cursor
(you’ll be able to see where my focus lies and what I’m doing to help the
fight) and the big white circle that follows me is an AoE heal (I think
technically it’s an AoE HoT.. or a HOT AOE)

I'm excited for this new game on the horizon: full loot PvP
(you keep what you kill), skill-based combat (aiming is critical, friendly fire
is off, no "Tab-Targetting"), and changing worlds (At some point the
game is "Over," the world resets and different rulesets can be
employed).
