1. “Play the game not the UI.”
2. revealed mechanic
Now go and find the error….
On a side note: IF we get increased mobility that would be good but it doesn’t change the fact that shadow arts is now a lot less useful (and that’s mainly because revealed is applied every time and not just on attacks.
Does nobody know?
I was playing around with some options again and started to wonder if the “Promote Skill Target” option may be bugged, because it seems to only serve it’s function if “Autotargeting” is active as well.
If neither of them is active:
Nothing will be highlighted but skills hit every target they can hit.
Only “Autotargeting”:
Targets will be highlighted when in range and facing the target. When turning away from the target highlighting is lost.
Only “Promote Skill Target”:
Highlighted targets are locked, so that facing away from them highlighting is not lost.
Both are activated:
Targets will be highlighted when in range and facing the target. When turning away from the target highlighting still remains.
From the description I was of the impression that when activated “Promote Skill Target” would lock targets as long as I struck them once and didn’t deselect them.
Lets take a Thief using Heartseeker as an example. Thief initiates combat through autoattacking and the target is locked and remains highlighted even when the thief faces away from it. Now the thief decides he wants to leave combat or simply get some distance between himself and the target. So he deselects manually (doubleclicks the ground) turns and uses Heartseeker to propel himself away.
This is something that can already be done by disabling “Autotargeting” and selecting all targets manually. While “Autotargeting” works fine and provides the choice to manually select a target or not, “Promote Skill Target” should work the other way around and provide the choice of manual deselection or not. It should promote and lock a target that is struck and not one that can be struck as “Autotargeting” does.
So is this a bug an inconvenience or working as intended?
Despite the fact I won’t die if I can’t play tonight the “It’s a hard job” argument is a non-argument in its optimal form!
You payed for this game. That makes us the costumer. That gives us the right to complain if the game just doesnt work.
Imagine this situation: you have a subscription to a daily paper. And one day the paper doesn’t show up but the boy regularly delivering it to you tells: ‘There are literaly thousands of things which can go wrong, so sadly no paper today!’.
I understand what your saying. Don’t overreact. But saying we should keep our mouths shut because ‘we don’t know anything about this situation’ is just unjustified.
We don’t have to know a thing about it. We pay them to know something about situations like this.
I am of the same opinion. I paid so they should fix it.
I’m just saying that “demanding answers” doesn’t help and I was explaining why ;-)
I never said to keep your mouth shut just to think about what to say. And as a (former) network admin I can tell you how frustrating it is to have a customer “demanding answers” behind you while trying to fix a problem.
To all you guys demanding answers:
Keep it down. You never worked on servers or even networking in general did you? There are literally thousands of things that can go wrong and faults can hide themselves pretty darn well. So Anet might not even have a clue what the actual error is as of yet. That is why they want more of us reporting, so they can track this thing down.
Just be patient… You won’t die even if you can’t play today…
