A More Convenient Combo System

[Andrien]

utilize the current system more before you want to change it..

I have, which is exactly why I want it to be more convenient....

May I also ask which job do you play most frequently? If you're a magic class then obviously you have it easy. Secondly do you honestly think the number of abilities and skills you have now will stay the same?

Just because it seems fine now doesn't mean it'll be convenient for any additional combo chains in the future.

I play Monk, Warrior, Paladin, Black Mage more frequently then the rest.. and yes I understand that we are not at cap but even then.. do you think every single ability we have will be used at 99??(if thats cap) I am sure some combos will deemed unworthy down the road as well..

but still doesnt change the fact that you can still macro ctrl 1-0 and alt 1-0 thats an extra 20 slots you can utilize without swapping action bars..

and you're proposing an idea because of what might happen in the FUTURE, lets not get ahead of ourselves now.. 2.0 isn't even out yet and you want to change combo design for convenience?

why not make a feature that once you do the first ws of the combo the AI does the rest for you? moves for ya, attacks for ya.. now thats convenience...

To answer your first question. Most likely yes. Look at the combos we have now for BLM/THM. Every combo have a starting skill to start the chain.

I will address your other weak points as well. ctrl 1-0 and alt 1-0 still involves more button pressing, and what I'm proposing will eliminate that extra burden, and you're able to keep your eye on the screen. What is better, pressing 2-3 buttons for one combo skill or just one button consecutively. You be the judge

You're free to speculate all you want just like I can, and I'm not forcing you to like my idea..good luck with your auto AI bot.

Stop with the speculation on how you think the new abilities will be.. you're going off on what BLM/THM is and you don't need to combo to use them abilities..

Again too lazy to even press a couple buttons?? Utilize the system we have, your idea is in no way revolutionary.. and you have no idea on how the system will be at 2.0, they have stated there will be additions to it as well.. so quit speculating so much.

And take eye off screen? I am pretty sure I can press 2 buttons without having the need to look at my keyboard.. lern2type?

Also lol at trying to insinuate I want an auto AI bot.. lmao.. you wanted convenience so I gave it to you..

I have to agree w/ SynysterBlitz macros do all of what you just said. If you use them well/properly, a single ctrl + [n] and you execute your next 1~10 commands w/ delays where needed for you to reposition yourself. If you can't find a way to make a macro that executes 5 skills w/ delays between and even fair warnings about where to stand next tossed in for simplifying your life...

And if in a skill combo you press 1,1,1,1,1 it's more presses then ctrl+1 everytime, unless you mean for the action bar to automate the remaining combo hits for you, but then it might as well just be a single ability right? Like 5hit-Go-Combo...

Macro's are convience in a nutshell, they let you do more than just use your abilities in sequence, you get to /echo /recast /party /say /wait /ac for 10 straight commands, all in a single ctrl+[n]. Do you think they're going to have skillchains that take more than 10 skills? I'm of a mind to say not gonna happen.

I want to be able to chain my combo with someone else's>.>

Oh god.. please don't try to twist this around. Nice try though.

The only draw back from that will be getting into position for the combo before it goes off when you're not ready.

Don't have to try sorry.

Don't have to try sorry.

This will be my last post to you SynysterBlitz. If you have nothing constructive with stronger points to debate find something else to do.
