The way jump is implemented right now makes playing melee easy, but if they nerf jump to be a full action melee might feel quite a bit worse. If you are having trouble reach enemies, just pay more attention to your jump, use it every single round.
And the camera not working with vertically that well is going to be a work in progress, no reason to scrap verticality for the sake of the state of the camera in an early EA build.
I'm not saying to scrap verticality, just to reign it in a bit.
Either lower the high terrain a bit or raise the skybox/roof a FREAKIN LOT so that the camera can always comfortably give you a top-down view (or both. I think a camera fix would suffice)
But that said, it does come to something when in a fight you have 6 goblins shooting at you from the fourth floor of a 'village skyscraper' lol. That was fun tho.
I'm more concerned about the camera issues in places where it just doesn't work.
