Auto-attack

[Naqaj]

Since when are fights in FFXIV stationary? Even if I'm playing healer, I'm moving around, at least some. If you're melee, you'll probably be moving constantly.

Am I really all these threads right? People think the combat is boring because they're standing in one spot and spamming their R1 attack??

Every action you take freezes you in place, be it a spell cast, your basic attack, or just switching combat mode. Compared to the combat in that video in question, that is very static. We were just talking about how the game engine is capable of a much more dynamic combat design. A bit of "what if" talk. No need to get so up in arms about it.

Auto attack isn't the answer to that. what if you're stuck in place while auto attacking? Something to suggest about attacks and skills (there are suggestions for a few) would be to just remove the "stop" when using a skill or readying your weapon. Just because they add AA doesn't mean we wont still be stopping to cast a spell, draw our weapons, or use a skill. Thats something that needs changing separately

Just sos you know I think Naqaj and me agree with you.

You have got to be the BIGGEST supporter of not changing this game at all.

Amazing do you not know that this game is slowly dying, well about as slow a death as jumping out of a plane smack into concrete that is, read alot of your post wow... are you serious with all this?

I am starting to think you are making a big 695 post joke, or you really hate the game and want to see it stay the same so ppl wont play and they shut it down.

Were you on the original developement team?

You never played the game yet.... If you had, you'd notice other problems with combat, and that the lack of Auto attack is not one of them. I'm for necessarily change, this is not one of them and is a waste of time.

How many bug's have you reported? Zero. How much feedback for actual improvements have you submitted? Zero. All the bugs i reported prior to last patch have been fixed. YOU are not helping anything by Flaming others who know how to play and by begging for a stupid AA.

We got Ninty Nine problems and AA aint one.

WOW you just made a crazy suggestion that you know me. =/ so you know that i have never reported a bug because you live here with me?
I know how to play this game, its not hard at all the challenge comes in not turning it off, after you play the routine of craft craft leve leve rinse repeat.
Dont get mad XD I only ask because i see you attacking others if i flame usually its in anothers defense from ppl telling them not to give there opinion if its not in agreement with the yay-xiv players
but its all good i still luv you!

So you coming at me saying I am against change does not conclude to you thinking you know me? That is hypocritical.... I would like you to tell me who I attacked please, as far as I see it, you attacked me, because I am against auto attack, and said it wouldn't end the having to stop to use abilities problem. And honestly, you got to R21 at highest. you haven't been to any place you can comment on besides auto attack. you cant even comment on the lack of content yet. You probably havent even gotten multi-shot from the archer guild yet. So just turn your flamethrower off, and go play a little more and contemplate what is in front of you already k?
