Hold down 'Q' to attack

[Wakizaka]

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

Don't forget to roll an alt then for the days you have laryngitis

[Kuegen]

shift+q is really just hitting q twice. I thought it would instantly switch but its just as delayed as pressing q twice... cept i have to use my pinkey.

I think FC could make an honest buck and sell soothing syrups for sour throats in their shop.

Also, it would be fun if you could play the NT while singing opera!!! You'd have have the NT forum flooded by people asking what aria is most suited for dealing with specific classes: "Rossini's Barber of Seville" NT ownz others in bor pvp.

No more singing naked in the shower!!!!!

Not if you have people /assist'ing you it's not. It takes longer to register the Stop-Start mechanic with the server than the Shift-Target mechanic.

Shift-Q is swap to target without resetting attack bar.

[Keex]

pandas doesnt have autoattack!

"they" scraped that idea and gave them autoattack because it sucked without :-P


btt: awful idea. next please :-)

double q does that too actually

I am all for making AO combat more involved. So vice holding Q try this.

7 = attack head
y = attack left shoulder
u = attack chest
i = attack right shoulder
h = attack left arm
j = attack legs
k = attack right arm
n = attack legs
m = attack feet

The player has to select each attack location every attack. The damage is only adjusted by the AC of the location attacked. Things like Aim shot have to target head or chest. Full auto has to be center mass or chest otherwise the number of bullets is reduced by 50%. And so on.

Then in PVP catching the fool with Pen Glasses still on would be so awesome as they would have no AC in the head slot.

Yes this would be interactive. It would be a pain in the backside.

Or maybe FC can just add code that detects the app not being in the foreground and places your player in a paused state in which you cannot move/attack/take damage etc etc. Expand that code so that if auto afk goes off the app lowers itself to the background and causes said effects. You know in short, play like we want or don't play at all.

For all the whiners out there, UO went through this and started sending GM's to players that were their equiv of auto afk and if you did not respond to their chat request within 60 seconds they had a tool that forced your account to logout, removed all gains since the auto afk and set your account to jailed for 3 RL days. Game companies take this crap seriously. If FC is even looking at it (auto attack and pet hunt as examples) then I suspect they have numbers to indicate too many people for their liking are doing it and changes are coming.

Simply solution in that case would be afk=sat down and defenceless. Not in a safe place? You're at Reclaim. Welcome to the world of the Nanomage! Seriously though auto attack helps me handle multiple mob attacks while I'm trying to juggle looting, healing, you know playing the game? If I afk solo I'm in hiding. If I'm in a team I warn people and promise to watch over them while they afk for a bit. Get rid of auto and TOTW is going to be hellish to train to DOT in with my Advy and Enfo. Sorry but there it is. Annoying but I'll get over it.

Reminds me of asheron's call, although a little more complex ;o

this and make enemys body parts glow/blink or whatever on semi random and hitting that part would be automatically crit!

[MajorOutage]

The only key that matters.

how its done on RK2

good thing that op ability is getting nerfed

Epic....just plain epic

[Kuegen]

actually, shift+q does seem faster. Problem mustve been that I was using a macro key to press shift+q at once.

"Can all the PvM cupcakes leave"

Perfect

[Xatgunner]

Sometimes at work i need to press enter ca. 10.000 times to load out a big assembly. I hotfix that by putting my watch on the enter button and then take my lunch.

I think i'll do the same with ao then. i'll play it when on lunchbreak

[aramsunat]

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

Thoughts?

Worst idea ever.

Oh wait no... a Diablo-like clickfest would be worse :P

[agentwolve]

I feel sorry for those who thought this was a genuine idea, I know it is dumb. I do not think removing pet hunt is very smart either, but I can understand how it can break the eula I guess
