Small Tweak Idea

[Bee]

Make it so the following actions do not interrupt auto attacking:

• Certain Skills that are insta cast like Wolf Emblem, Barb Antistun, BM Mdef and Pdef Sutra, etc
• Pills
• Sometimes nothing at all when hitting an enemy
• Enemy moves 1 inch away as you go to attack, and occasionally instead of your character chasing (In PvE for example) it just sits there like an idiot and wastes any 3 spark you might have had up
• Receiving Tasks sometimes.

Everything under the sun interrupts auto attack and its SO ***ING ANNOYING and has been the same way since the games creation, if you have any possible idea what causes this and how to fix it pls Burdette

That's why you spam autoattack 5 times per second

[Bee]

Yes but spamming it sometimes provides mixed results / glitchy aps for the first couple seconds and you lose DPS time.

Its just really annoying how glitchy auto attack behaves in this day and age.

[Bee]

Pills really shouldn't interrupt it because without good ping it will cause a 750ms pause in your apsing between the time you can get the auto attack feature to actually continue again

[forum user]

This should boost aps classes alot i think. Just spam autoattack everytime u must start to aps.

[Bee]

Spamming it is inconsistent and it takes the auto attack system a couple of hits first to really get the aps going, just another buggy trait of auto attack which was never fixed. Anyone who plays aps on here knows its rather weak other than for PvE unless you got GOD level gears. But thats not the point



We shouldnt have to fight against the game to keep our character apsing. It feels retarded. We have all tolerated it since the game existed but why should we if it can be fixed?

[Аlex]

LOL, pills interrupt auto atk, just press the skill or w.e while using the pill, ez?

[Bee]

Just because its moderately reasonable to combat the problem does not mean the problem should exist


Take the new ESC cancel skill feature. it was easy to cancel skills and not untarget, but that got fixed anyway, so why not this too?

Depends, with high ping isnt easy lol, sometime u need to spam ESC button, to make it cancel lmao

Same with Auto Attack mate.

Same with Auto Attack mate.

yea but, that isnt really a problem o.o, while if u lose the target, that can be a big problem.

[Bee]

Well the tweaks done in setting by Burdette are all minor problems, this is also a minor problem, if we are in the habit of fixing things about this game that are annoying / shitty then we should not exclude some things if they are fixable.

Can't be done without a brand new engine.

[Bee]

Can't be done without a brand new engine.

The action of auto attacking, just like every other battle function, is setup in GS the same way a skill is. It is very possible and the Angelica Engine is completely unrelated to GS.

make it so we are perpetually autoattacking, including AA classes please. Hilarity guaranteed. 
But ye, Bee has a point considering on most servers cyclone heel keeps autoattack up after using. Yet on here during the last x2 i found myself mashing my 1 key repeatedly in 3-3
