The funny thing is, you were never told that the emote button also toggles AoE on/off. I only discovered it by accident und remapped it accordingly. And while playing with a controller is way better than playing with a keyboard, I dislike it, as you can't chat as fluently. Not to mention the annoyance of scrolling back to #1 for a normal attack every few seconds (yay, auto-attack!).Quote:

And not just that. It doesn't even show on keyboard settings. How is that not bad programming?
But that's enough negativity for now. I really appreciate SE's effort -now- to make this game better and I can't wait for the new battle system that hopefully will get rid of many of these annoyances. :D

Spells should not be spammed in AoE, AoE should only be used in certain situations (hence why in other games there are separate spells for single target and AoE). In these cases just hit the AoE button then it goes back to single target automatically for the next spell.Quote:

Hit "z" or i believe its "Triangle" on the controller to turn on / off aoe.
