auto-attack in 18 or 19??'

Im reading the new post

And I keep reading and IM confused... I wa slead to believe that auto-attack would appear in 18 yet:

"Auto-attack functionality will be prioritized in 1.18. Changes such as battle algorithm revisions, attack motion diversification, and peripheral motion tweaks are scheduled to take place in 1.19 and subsequent patches.

Attack Delivery
1.18 will introduce auto-attack in its basic form, which will permit Disciples of War and Magic to deliver a single strike (double for pugilists) each time it activates. Future patches will usher in multiple attacks, the activation rate of which will be determined by actions, traits, and items. "

So 18 is only gonna introduce how it works but we wont have it till 19?

Basicly, in 1.18 will get the basic form of AA, using old algorithms for damage, while in 1.19 different animation for every race and new algorithms. Isn't a news, Matsui a moth ago already said they'll implement the complete AA in 3 steps

AA will debut in 1.18...like a pile of s#!t. After that they will start adjusting it at 1.19 and beyond to make it work properly.

Just expect nothing good from 1.18 AA. It WILL suck (ah, the beauty of the red capital bold letters!) at start...if it was good already they wouldn't pop so many excuses regarding future adjustments. However, after 2~3 patches adjusting it it does might be looking good...or at least its what i expect.
