no auto lock in 1.18

they remove auto lock in the update

It's available in the configuration.

No they didn't. thread over

LOL in B4 LOCK

Seems they disabled it, even though it's still an option it does nothing. I spot mob, target mob, draw weapon/s and run to it, but no auto lock on engages.

Lets hope they fix this, for now manual lock on is the only way to go.

I'll bump this, since it seems to be true.

I made a thread about this as well titled "engaging in patch 1.18 seems clumsy" so I'm on your side.

Not raging at developers or think they're idiots just think a simple right click to initiate attack and lock on would be nice and left click to select enemy would be good change (not trying to WoW clone combat mechanics, just suggestion)

perhaps fixable in patch 1.18a? hope so O.O!

Doesn't auto-lock for me either, option in settings on or not. Have to manual every time.

It DOES auto lock, but only after a skill is used. Before, you locked on as soon as you entered combat because your basic attack is a skill. However, after the patch, your auto attack isn't considered a skill, and won't lock on until you use an actual skill from your bar. It needs to be fixed so that auto attack trigger lock on.

I seriously JUST noticed this and was going to come here to correct myself. Still an issue that needs fixing. I don't always start with a skill and would like AA to AT. :)

Maybe an attack button like most MMO's have would have been a good choice and would also have negated any need for this problem. Never know we may get one in the future.

I have also been having trouble with auto-lock. I like the idea of an attack button. It might make more sense to have the active button be a "(F)ight" button. In addition auto-lock could be a configuration setting that could be turned off if players wanted more control over how their character acts in battle.

oh man, whats the difference between pressing an "Attack" button and the "Auto-Lock" button?
(the answer is "none")

I have noticed that auto attack only works when i double click to attack an enemy. It will not start automatically if i only use skills, which is normally how i start a fight. I only just figured that out i thought it was supposed to start when you entered combat but no you have to start it manually. As for the lock on it only seems to auto lock on when i use a skill but i never use it anway camera up my ass, lock on is horrible in tight spaces.
