Astro Reboot : Party Cards

[Kamishawe]

You never played on controler or never did a proper set-up right? because it's : draw, scroll the party list with up or down arrow of the D-pad to highligh the member you want to play your card on, play the card then the mob is automatically selected again.... It's called soft select.
You don't need to hard select a member to heal, buff or play a card, you just have to do a soft select.... The only moment when you an hard select as an AST, it's when the tank is doing a very big W2W.

It's doesn't take long to select the member on 4 people dungeon.... On a 8 party it take just tiny wesy bit longer.

I do not play controller and no one on earth would make me try it. That was my best description of what I see most of them do, granted they also blur thou what you call "hard" select so fast I can't "SEE" every step of the process either, just the basics. I think only one of the 4 does something close to a "soft select".

I have no idea if that's a lost-in-translation-issue, a compatibility controller issue, a lack of knowledge issue, or just looking at the same thing thou different lenses for them or they're just not very good at it. What I do know is that it's not just my friends. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But you can also say this about a lot of counter intuitive things your learn though the ARR experience and leveling process that stick, even 8 years later for one of them.
