Request: Remove side requirement for combos

[Yves]

Some players have no issue while I hear of a lot who do. Can we please get this to just front/back? Many things can cause side attacks to miss ranging from connection lag to PC specs. It seems bogus that some players should be penalized for hardware (limitations of budget) or lag (limitations of location and design.)

My main qualm is that this game is supposed to be approachable, however, this kind of thing can hurt those who want to play this game.

I'm all for a function of "skill" but this is not the case with side attacks.

Thanks!

I agree, at first I thought it was fun, but now I just find it annoying. It doesn't take skill either to move to the left or right of a mob. At least make it so there is a bonus maybe like the increased damage etc, but can still proc next combo from any direction. Like PLD for example, I wish I could combo my multi hit WS without running to the back of the mob >.>

In b4 "back in the days" comments.

The two issues should(I hope) be fixed with 2.0. The new engine will allow lower spec computers be able to run the game smooth and the new servers will help the lag. In my opinion like the above poster had stated running behind the mob is just as easy as running to the back. In my eyes there is no issue and I do not see a need to change it.

Request?
Don't you mean petition?

I just want them to make Impulse drive has more Acc when its on a combo its really hard to pull that off Garuda or any High Evasion Boss unless u have like 400 Acc without food

The unfortunate truth is that side requirements are ok but only with certain mobs where it's OBVIOUS where the side is. Stuff like great buffalo or even ifrit are easy to figure out... But some enemies tend to move so much and have such weird hitboxes that you can end up missing half the time for no reason.

I have absolutely no problem with executing side attacks. Even while soloing.

I like them, and want them to stay.

While you apparently were being facetious, this is actually true for me, unless I make a mistake.

I'm 100% serious when I say I enjoy the positioning combos. I didn't think it came across as facetious with my first post. Lol.

Same here. I have only an occasional snag. I've noticed that it seems to be easier to pull off if you treat each mob like a cube, pay attention to the angle at which it's facing the tank to determine the side. (Practice on Ixalis in Natalan) The mobs front will always be directly facing the tank assuming the tank has hate.
