Auto Attack wins!

[Reika]

What server are you on? I haven't seen anyone use the party search since December on Saronia.

I guess all the fast learners are on karnak :P

Hey I attempted to have to logical conversation on the issue, while trying to respect opinions. 2 pages later and... yeah.

well, i have to say, i am dissapointed by the confirmation that we will indeed be having an auto attack. But i can't say i'm surprised. Hotly debated, and flamed about since the forum was opened, and finally we have a winner.

I won't claim i'll stop playing or anything, i just hope they don't /change/ things so much as /improve/ them. I love battle in FFXIV as it stands right now, granted the animations and effects could use some looking at in some abilities, but i never truly felt it needed changing too much.

All i can say is it's a good job they ASKED what people wanted before they just did it, otherwise we'd have a similar situation to the CU and NGE updates to SWG. and we all know how well that went down, people don't like surprises.

Pushing three or more times and it's playing with yourself.

this made my rolflmao irl.

In other news, Guild Wars2 and TERA understand that Auto-attack is antiquated and have moved on from that.

I'm trying to be optimistic but I can't help but be slightly distraught about their decision. If FFXIV was faster paced like WoW(or other "twitch" MMOs) then maybe that auto attack feature wouldn't be such an issue for me. However, just like with the other barely detailed responses I will reserve judgement until that patch releases.

Meh... I don't care for auto-attack, but whatever. Just please don't half-ass it.

A lot of people use the party search feature... it works just fine.

That was a pretty delusional comment lol.
If by a lot your definition is one party non english speaking in one area at most a day sure.

You can't really argue this point, no one uses it, and its not because they DONT want to party or lack of people online, its a badly coded feature. I think you meant to post that in the FFXI forum cause this so not true for 14.

As it pertains now most people lvl with friends and leve with guildies.
Once the party system is fixed so we aren't forced to solo grind like in WoW..... this is going to change.
Solo ? Sure, but the whole point of the party mechanic changes they are working SO hard to change will be for not unless they fix the simplest thing off all to fix.

I see someone said they will be addressing this however its not in the developer's list of things to "Re evaluate" right now, was this recently said?
Or before the new team took over.

I also remember them saying that but it was near release a LONG time ago, and have seen nothing about it since then.

Now that we know what's happening... the anticipation is still building inside me.
I can't wait any longer ahhhhhhh
