Thread: 3.4 Changes to Face Targeting System

Does this mean I no longer can attack and move even out of Wanderer's? what part of the feature are they speaking of? Because there is an actual game setting and a command. Being that I'm in Wanderer's 99% of the time the auto-attack thing is rather irrelevant to me but I truly don't follow exactly what they mean by "feature inaccessible."

I have no idea what they meant by that translation. At present, I will not only attack mid-jump to continue while running away without backpedaling, but even use the face-target key mid-leap as not to ever delay an auto-attack during movement away when out of WM. And if the line refers only to the new feature (of not needing to face target for AAs), I don't really see the point in the feature in the first place; unless you were moving away, you'd always end movement on a controller or in Legacy configuration towards your target. Now you can't AA while facing the target and moving deeper into the enemy hitbox or backpedaling out of it? What?

Edit: If it's just that my F key would gain an internal cooldown or be unusable mid-stride, which won't be necessary except for blocking or parrying now that AAs no longer require face-target anyways, then I'm happy for the change. It could just be a lot more clear in that translation.
