Thread: Hold down 'Q' to attack

  1. #1

    Hold down 'Q' to attack

    As it is now, with auto attack, or just tab and Q ... once we have started to attack something we can just minimize and youtube (as long as we can tank it with base evades and HD/hots) and kill it with automated regulars, this is unintended gameplay.

    Holding down Q to make regular hits strike would work around this, it could be macro'd around or something but oh well.

    Thoughts?

    I think it's stupid.

    If you want to keep people from alt-tabbing out when fighting then make combat faster paced and more involving. Don't make it even more tedious.

    Hahaha I love it. Need some sensors on monitor to check if your eyes are looking at screen too though. And a check to make sure you have sound enabled so you're hearing the game too. If any of the above not met, permaban!

    Haven't seen something this bad in a very long time. Next thing would be swinging the melee weapons to be related to how fast you move your mouse cursor on the screen or shooting dependent on how fast you can press the mouse button.

    They tried this in an Asian-grinder and people would just jam their keyboard's key since potions were used automatically when mana/rage would be too low. Then, the players found a bug that if you pressed the attack key and then switch to another window, the game would believe you are still holding down the attack key.

    I suppose agentwolve is trolling in light of the upcoming pet changes. Just in case, though: NO-O-O-O.

    Holding down a key is still too exploitable. I suggest we must ram it for each normal attack and add fumbles if you ram it at wrong time so let's say attack time length block on attack...

    Problematic is that you can just jam the key stuck and that solves that problem. Also, most keyboards handle multiple keys pushed at the same time poorly.

    Funny though, is that FC have stated they want to return emphasis on "white" damage.

    Lets just do this the only sane way.

    Make AOs combat system require a DDR Mat, Kinect System, and voice control.

    That way, you have to use the mat to move, kinect to do your actions ie. swing your sword, and voice control so you can taunt your opponents as you pwn them!

    I solved it!!!

    actually, switching between mobs can be troublesome in fast paced environments, something i frequently do to hold aggro. If all i had to do was release q to stop attacking, that would be alright..

    ofc id just reassign the attack key to something easier ;o

    Sure! NTs will only have voice control only. Their nuke's dmg would depend on how loud they can shout.
