Auto Attack Feature

[Kenshinryu]

I like the new feature and the way the battle system is heading and what not but I would like to see an actual button for the auto attack. That way when you walk up to an enemy and switch to active mode you don't have to wait and sit there until your character attacks. Sometimes I even have trouble with my character attacking stuff without using an ability. So it would just be nice to have an attack button that you can't spam or anything but just to use to initiate an attack or if your character randomly decides to stop attack and least to push that button so you can attack again without using one of your special abilities.

I've also suggested this on a couple of similar thread on the forums. It's a must!

Agreed. Also, without an AA button sometimes you just pass by the target (ending with the backs turned to it, which is also annoying because you won't strike either for not being facing the target.) because without using an action you need to lock-on manually.

also if you automatically target an enemy which is slept and attack without meaning too is also annoying, I agree this should be in the game.

As long as it doesn't force me to waste the first spot on my action bar, I'm ok with this.

I'd rather spending that slot with an "Auto-Attack" action if it was to fix most of the problems it has right now. Its not like you had all 30 slots used anyway.

I'm sure things like this are in the works, we were warned that this was a very crude release of the auto attack feature and that improvements would follow. I thank god everytime I log on that they atleast got this far with it. It can only get better from here.

Indeed. They almost even said "Hey...AA will suck at start so just bare with us because balancing will come right after."...just look how many times they said it was still under development and that would be follows by many balancing patches.

I do believe that from now on things might get better...hopefully ALOT better. We just need to give them time...its just humanly impossible to pretty much make a brand new game in 8 months...so now we just need to have a bit more of patience....1.18a already was announced so it might be coming by the end of next week...so we just need to endure the flaws of this new battle system like one more week.

Try and do like me...just go up a craft or gathering class while you wait! ^^

That's why I specified "first" spot. As long as I can choose to drop it on that last, unused bar, I'm cool.

While I'm in full support of having an auto-attack skill on the bar, I would not want it to have to be placed on the bar at all for those who don't want to. I fully understand many people like the auto-attack as it is an I don't think what others, including myself, prefer should affect that. There's always ways to work around it.


I think this issue is going to keep pressing until we get a proper response on it. I know they're still working on the combat system but we're here to provide feedback to the dev team on their implementation of their ideas and how we think the useability could be improved upon.
