Auto path option would it be possible?

[Kleeya]

Someone did miss Blizzard 's Diablo Immortal annoucement big worldwide screwup, to think that bringing mobile games features into FF14 would be a good thing. Instead it would quickly backfired on SE. I can already see the "What's next ? Auto-combat feature so that i can do something else while my character do a raid/dungeon by itself ?" shitstorm that would ensue XD

Instead of making a drama for a simple suggestion that already was made in other MMOs and no one complained before for your own information autopath exists in other MMOs not only in mobile games.

So please take your dramatic narrative elsewhere if you can't make any constructive comment on a simple suggestion.

@AnnaRose:
I know those maps, yet my point stands, some paths would simply kill you on auto path because the enemies are too high levelled. And using the maps for a safe route, as you suggested, must be done manually and contradicts the auto path idea.

Personal opinion: Since it would take as much time as running yourself, thus not saving time, I see it as a function for lazy people. Auto Run, which we currently havd, is enough.

Once you got the aetherite locations attuned and flying, you barely even need such a feature outside ARR.

It can be useful too for persons who have difficulty with their motor coordination skills which are affected by external problems and contrary to what you wrote you can choose where to autopath and provide your character a safe way if you know those maps in advance and taking into account your character level.

It isn't a drama but a valid remark. If you dont want to play the game yourself when you know you will not die going through a map, why should other people want to play it when doing for the 532e time the same harmless dungeon ? Give us auto combat feature please, after all like you say it exists on another games, so it should be fine on FF14 too.

Dunno if SE will even implement flying in Eureka but that would be great! But if they didn't so far we go in 3rd not sure if they ever will.

I never suggested autocombat in 1st instance so quit putting words where I wouldn't even go.

But what would I play then if both FF XIV and FE Heroes are on autoplay?


@Topic
Even if you can choose the path - do you draw the way first or what? unfamiliar with that - there remain those paths that can't be reached via safe routes, e. g. Penny's arena. You would need to stop at times and look at the enemies to sneak around them.
Not limited to Eureka, I don't see the gain, honestly. No time is saved, and if you think fundamental game mechanics such as moving and walking boring/want to have them done for you - just don't play that game?

A third game of course. Even a fourth one if the third is on autoplay as well
