Guild Wars 2

Its already been acknowledged that eventually engineer kits (or ‘some’ of them) will get the feature of your ‘1’ button auto attack staying on while switching between kits and weapons…

it somewhat baffles me that this isnt fixed yet… i think it should be a priority… and as much as i praise Anet for this awesome game, that i love to play, i get held up on the fact that it seemingly cant be done with one of the quick fix patches we keep seeing… i mean, its 2012, you dont have one really cool nerd on staff that could mock this up, check his work, and have this added to the next patch?? Now, ive heard the argument “its not as easy to do as you think” … and i agree!! but in this day and age, wouldnt you design something from the ground up to be easy to change little values like this?? my point is, i know its not easy, but its also not impossibly hard. Otherwise, thank you, Anet, for this game, but ill love you 5% more when you fix this silly issue. (and so will roughly 90% of the players with engineer toons. )

but in the meantime, how about a feature to just Hold down a key for it to consistently fire??? Personally, i would even use this with rifle / pistol if it was implemented, so that i can control that pesky cast bar for the auto attacks…. i realize that this wouldnt suit alot of peoples playstyle, which is why im simply suggesting the Option…

im open to constructive criticism, as long as its exactly that, constructive…. I just want my auto attack to work, or the ability to just keep the button depressed to sustain auto attack(s) …

Ctrl + Left click the skill. Or was it right click? It’s one of those.

you are correct, i know this already… but i swap kits Extremely frequently, and its very anoyying to have to Ctrl+right click my 1 ability mid fight…

im simply asking for the ability to just depress the ‘1’ key, so that my first attack will consistently fire until i let go of the key…

its already been mentioned by the Devs that they will fix the auto attack being turned off by default when an Engineer swaps kits, but regrefully this change might not see the light of day very soon, so im suggesting this to help in the meantime.

i know how to ‘set’ auto attack, but the Problem is its defaulted off when i switch to elixer gun.
