Option to use all AP in once per turn during fights

Post by Thibaut »

Hello,

Would it be possible to implement an option for using all the APs we have in attack in one click?

When we reach a certain level, strategy is usually not much required any longer for the fights.
Therefore, having to click 3-4 times in a row when it's our turn can become repetitive and tedious.

We could click once, and the touches/misses and points would appear the same way as when we are under attack.

Please let me know if my explanations are unclear.

Thanks!

use virtual d-pad (set in preferences), then hold on the pad while fighting, it does auto-attack without clicking.

Thank you, I didn't know this.
I just tried out.

I still think this idea could improve the UX for some players, in particular those who don't like using the d-pad.
Also, by having a setup like that, there would not even be the need to hold until the attack is done.

I support this suggestion.

Hi there,

me too. I would appreciate a "do or die"-switch.

Well, this solution sounds like it's trying to cure a symptom and not the disease. The disease here is you've outplayed the content and you're too strong to be concerned about dying.
We're doing our best to roll out content at all sorts of level ranges to facilitate challenging the players longer.

Hello Antison,

ty for your reply. You are right, my little Hero is on lvl 84 and there isn't much of a threat araound.

To pass the time, grinding for items could be more enjoyable. Well if it is so called "grinding" then why not become the "real meatwagon" (see WC3) that just rolles over the mobs to collect whatever they drop.
Imho it makes no sense to click more often to achieve the same result. It's just a waer out of my finger and displayprotection :)

Don't get me wrong, the game is great!

For example in other games there is a speed-multiplier for tasks that are "irrelevant".

Kind regards :)

Well, we have other GUI issues that need addressing. The last thing we are going to do at this time is add another button to the game play screen.

"To pass the time", I suggest starting another character. One that is different from your current one. Make different choices and decisions. Use different items. Try playing without bone meal

Yeah, Antison is right. I change my mind. My finger just gets worn out by clicking for every attack. It would be nice to have an auto-attack feature, like other grindy games like Old School RuneScape have. But I guess it would not be good for the game balance and make it too easy to level up.

That's one of the reasons why I like to use 2h weapons - less finger work :D
