Auto-attack

[Reika]

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?

There is no extra strategy added to the game by manually button-smashing your basic attacks. Therefore, automating the process couldn't really hurt. Though I hope such a change would accompany various other modifications to mold the battle system into something more instantaneous.

Choosing your action and then waiting for it to happen is just... stupid. Unless you're actually casting a spell.

I kind of agree with these. Ok it is not a major issue and there are several things that must be changed/fixed, but smashing your basic attack on a gamepad is a pain... At least for me... I'm not gonna stop using gamepad if an auto attack is not implemented, but such an option would actually help a little.

As I stated is a minor issue but still an issue.

Have you ever played other games on a console? Or any action rpgs? Monster Hunter, MGS, Devil May Cry, FFVII Dirge of Cerberus, FFVII Crisis Core, Shinobi, God of War, Deus Ex? Just some games off the top of my head that actually had fun combat. Something that MMOs until just recently never had. It could be done here. But not with Auto Attack. I'm not saying it needs to be "exactly like" any of the games I listed but every one of those games has combat that's actually fun even more so when you put them side by side with almost every MMO released in the last 10 years.

You can experience the battle system at rnk1/lvl1 as well as the tired leve system and the unbalanced craft to everything else gameplay, you do not have to be rank 50x6 to see what this game is about because at 50 you are still doing the same wash rinse repeat routine.

"No matter what the topic the ones with the collars on will bark like hell if anything is said about the poor state of this game.

Its funny to me so i poke at them, they get pissed, hilarious.

The best one is "you have no right if you dont have rnk 50 in all jobs"
Lmfao, really in 20 mins you can see that taking a job to 50 in this game is grueling, not because u have to grind, grinding is fine in my book if its fun with a class you love and friends to do it with, but because the fighting and classes in this game are made of all kinds of last dude in 100 man gbng fail,
I wont waste time lvling these hybrid classes right now, in hopes that the system's will be fixed soon and classes worth playing with a fun battle system will be added."

2.
"Arogance and elitism in a video game is so so so sad for as pathetic as thoes ppl call others, they are the most pathetic of all for considering themselves more important and more worthy to voice an opinion then everyone else.

LMFAO, REALLY? You have lvl/rnk 1000 in a game makes you feel special, and validates you as a human and gives you merit to insult thoes puny ppl w/o high lvl jobs in a game?

So you have lvl 10,000 killzorezilla mnk, you can look down on ppl from your basement room atop the golden mountains as you drink your mountain dew and devour your cheesy poofs you scoof at the weeklings who have to turn off the game and go to work! HAHA.
O.o; really?

Dude i just refinanced my home loan and got a great deal i feel great about stuff like that! but yeah you win XD

PS: moderator i did not name anyone so do not erase my post.... I have seen ppl just blatently attack others and it was left alone... I have aimed at no one."

I posted these earlier to general "video game elitist's" that tell others they have no right to an opinion of a game they payed money for, and i work for my dough mommy didnt buy it for me.
This is the case again i guess. 701!

Your reasonings are that of a forum troll... /ignored

Played all at the exception of crisis and shinobi (don't know these one). Your point was? I missed it lol :P

[Reika]

Basic attacks:
Pugilist: Heavy Strike, Light Strike, Pummel, Flurry
Gladiator: Light Slash, Heavy Slash, Light stab, Heavy Stab
Thaumaturge: Phantom bolt, Silhouette, Shadowfall
Marauder: Light Swing, Heavy Swing, Full Swing, Broad Swing

Just to name a few... what will happen to these when auto attack is implemented?

The point is that MMO combat that we have now and have had is bad. Why ask for McDonalds when you can ask for and have New York Strip? I wasn't attacking you I was just trying to establish a basis for comparison.

Herm... sry I still don't get the point, what does any of that has to do with the auto attack or my opinion about it? :S

Auto Attack is bland. Not fun. So why ask for it when you could ask for combat that is?

[Dragonhand]

Ah. sry my bad. Well it is kind of boring if you only auto attack, most of us are actually waiting for a combat improvement that makes auto attack unworthy unless you feel to lazy to using multiple skills in combat, and in those situations an auto attack would fit better then spaming x,x x,x x,x x,x x,x x,x x,x. Using a keyboard it is not such an issue but on controller I find it a bit boring
