1.18 combat changes, yey or ney.

So now we have to repeatedly press one less key. Man we're suddenly "Not playing the game" anymore

get out from under your bridge mister troll =D!

The point that these pro stamina people are making is that you are wrong in saying "111111111111" defines stamina bar >.>. Choosing EVERY action your character does makes them feel more in control.

No spamming occurs unless you suddenly deem auto attack the sole use of your playstyle.

I am for all these changes, however they re very unpolished now.

Speaking of the combat system (sorry if this feels like I'm hijacking the thread) but is anyone missing their light attack? My Lancer's light attack is always on 1 but it was empty; is this because of the auto-attack system or did something go horribly wrong? You know, like, gremlins stealing it from me?

yeah it should be gone =). Read patch notes on lodestone *warning it is novel length*

AA just replaces the most repeatitive and mindless part of key pressing. Removing the repeatitive and mindless part -> More focus on the fun and engaging part.

Yes, because it was impossible to focus on that "engaging" part of the gameplay before when the gamplaye was so hectic!

12131415161718 is way more repeatitive that 12345678. Simple math. The change simply removed a source of mindless repetition.

Mind you, it doesn't make a difference to me, but saying that having to press that 1 "gave more control" is laughable.

It didn't need to make it "impossible" to be completely useless.

Cool cool, thanks man =).
I really should read it, I don't know why I decided to not read this patch.
*Goes to read the patch notes and sees how long it is*
Oh my god!

sounds like you hate action rpgs lol. That's how certain games work. It's just a matter of preference.

At least I can chat while fighting now.

Action RPGs have a completely different gameplay from an action bar based MMORPG, whether you have to press for each attack or not.
