    Tbh the lock on feature is long overdue and a remnant of times when you needed to look at an enemy to do autoattacks, because they were only a 90° forward and that is the reason the lock on feature locks your position fixed to the center of the enemy you are targeting.
    Nowadays with 360° degree autoattacks, "auto look at target when using a skill" and also many 360° skills, lock on is past its date.
    i can deactivate it yes, however when i would attack again it would re-lock (as i just auto lock on whenever i attack)
    i get it's kind of past it's time, however i don't know if it means it should be neglected, for people like me atleast, it gives more immersion in a battle, which for me is very important in a game regardless of content
    i also get it may be a bit unrealistic but those small adjustments would fix most issues it actually has

    If it is for immersion then I suggest learning to manually lock on and off as you need instead of relying on the auto lock on. (You can change that setting in the character configurations, in the case you didn't know.)
    It may take more effort but you have to got that extra step for your perfect immersion.
    Mechanically Lock on just can't offer anything that isn't already in game through many many QoL patches in the past.

    Guess so unfortunately, i just wish it'd have these small adjustments so i could use it easily in any content
    i do get where you're coming from i just wish the option would be there for those still wanting to use it :c
