Say No to auto-attack!

YAY AUTO ATTACK!!

Well, this all depends of the way auto-attack is added. Since we don't have real info regarding it i prefer to wait until we know more about it.

This. If they keep the current battle system it will be bad. Just waiting till you get 1000 tp then pressing 2 will make the game boring, but if they make the new battle system interesting then it may be different.

autoattack is needed in an mmo.

it does not automate battles at all, it removes a chunk of button presses and over
the years that an mmo runs for, that is a good thing.

as long as there an option to turn it off im not bothered, I like pressing the same button over and over...its a cause and effect thing

Boo. is all i have to say seems like with all the issues plaguing this game an attack system that works fine already should be low on the list. Devs have lots of work to do besides fixing what aint broke.

If you think the battle system isn't broken you've got serious problems. That's the reason they have spent the last what? YEAR trying to fix it, along with the targeting system. Personally It's BS it's slow as hell, FFXI worked great without the stam bar, as did Wow and just about every other MMO in the world ... NOT saying it should be a follower but come on, if it works it works. Sorry that they got to it first.

Edit: Also it gives you more time to actually talk to people in your party something that worked very well in FFXI.. yay auto attack Maybe this will not only fix the battle system but the seemingly mute community on my server.

I like auto atacks. Especially if it blends well with the materia system being able to be used for procs. I am leveling lnc/thm combo with a little con mixed in, to make my ideal debufferish type character. Its working well, but if I could have a way to add materia to weapons to get benefits such as procs, my ideal would be lifetap proc. IE, every swing I connect on a mob, I have a % chance to do a spall life tap through the power of my weapon. A multitude of procs could possibly be added to weapons this way, possibly. The same goes for armor, and armor procs as a possibility.

To top it off though, I agree also, with alot of other posters, that the ability to actually still get a least some damage in, while typing to friends/Linkshell mates/group mates and what not is a great plus.

This feature is what kept me from joining back when this was released. I might consider installing my copy of the game now.

you got to learn to separate battle mechanics with what they are used for. I do agree that auto attack or not auto attack will not save battle, but i think difficulty and challenge are the reason everyone is just mashing buttons, or in the future, mashing buttons for skills.

It doesnt matter if your playing chess, if your opponent is totally garbage. It doesnt matter what battle system they create, if they continue to send teams of 8 people over monsters that are only challenging solo, or duo.

The combat needs to be more active than it is currently. The current system tries to simulate action combat without going too twitchy but fails at that. They should just go much more active with it, which I won't go into detail here about.

you can't say no now ...lol
