Auto attack: A complete battle system

[Reika]

I'm love how people instantly assume that auto attack means you won't be hitting 1-9 alot. Go try WoW or Rift and let me know how that worked out for you.

Oh they dont know. It wont do anything for this game.... Hopefully, they're 'new battles that will require auto attack (for whatever reason)' will be hard enough to warrant having it.

Yes, what we need is WoW's and Rift's combat system. Hell yeah. That will so make the game stand out.

[Dreamer]

Since they've already said they're implementing it, my only hope is that there is a way for me to turn it off. Do not want, do not need.

[Reika]

Oh me too. I would rather stick with pushing 1 a billion times than have auto attack.

[Kimahri]

The door to WoW, Rift, Aion, etc, etc, is always open, Reika. Haha!

There simply is no excuse for combat to be boring anymore. The combat in MMOs is not fun. Anyone ever play Monster Hunter? Now that combat is fun. There is no reason why MMOs can't have combat like that. Yes I would much prefer Devil May Cry combat over what we have now. I like to have fun and see cool visuals in combat. What we have right now is bland and what we are going to have is going to be bland.

Not necessarily if they can implement a decent teamwork element, make things faster, and still retain the dodging attacks element/implement more benefits/detriments to the positional attacks and debilitation system.

I mean sure, it wont be a Monster Hunter quality system, but then again...not everyone can play MH (series is awesome though, surprise Rathian attacks never get old). Really if you can have fun with a tactical RPG, i'm sure you'll be able to with the new battle system, however fast it ends up being.

I think if they made the LNC range actually mean something the way it was originally shown would be a great improvement. Also where are the PUGs Offensive and defensive stances the way it is shown still on the main FFXIV website? The arrow types for archers also dont make enough of a difference to warrant changing them out depending on mob type.

Exactly, and they'll probably have to realize those systems with these upcoming battle changes. They still have to look at how Gladiator's guard/stab/slash, and how the Marauder's steadfast abilities will factor into this. I think this is why people were excited about XIV's battle system possibilities prior to release, having to make more tactical choices during battle as well as having a faster system.



EDIT: Is there any way to actually post images on the forum?
