get RID of the extra buttons to press when engaging please

[Feldt]

I USED to be able to walk up to a monster, and press 1 (light attack)

NOW I have to walk up, press "F" to pull out my weapon, "C" to lock on, then ENTER to start auto attacking.

I assumed they were trying to REDUCE the number of actions we had to take to do things.


Guess not...

Can we PLEASE just get an action at level 1 called "Auto attack on/off"

This whole "not sure if my character is attacking or not" thing is BS

It's the same with gamepad my friend... the same... A wise chose would be to add This basic attack that Auto-Attack use to action bar to initiate it from there. Like an additional Skill to chose from but not taking any more space of your action bar or something.

All you have to do is enter active mode (always had to do this), target the monster (always had to do this) and bring your action bar up and usable where you can cycle through abilities (always had to do this). It doesn't seem to take any more or less actions to get started than it used to for me at least.

Nope... you are wrong.
Before (always used gamepad) You just have to target the mob (you didn't have to lock on camera on him to face it straight - now you have to since AA won't work), Press a button to brin up action bar and initiate a Attack from there (which btw always locked your camera on it).

Now you have activate active mode, to target mob, lock on on it, then came close and wait... (you need to activate Lock on and active mode manually, before it was auto by pressing attack skill on action bar).

PS: Sorry if the rest of post is rushed, i need to to make haste to write this and go out of this PC.
