Can u please do this so the GAME WILL IMPROVE!!

1.When attacking a Monster,i click right click rapidly and i'm kinda weak because of always clicking that...PLEASE PUT AN AUTOATTACK SO I WILL JUST CLICK IT AND IT WILL KILL IT TILL IT DIES.

2.Put a HP and MP BAR under the Character so if i'm killing a monster i will see if i'm out of HP and MP and I will see it in one LOOK!!

3.I wish i could drag and drop items when i'm DROPPING,TRADING and SORTING ITEMS...thats kinda easy to use it.

4.I wish theres a Shorcut bar on the upper of the screen and i can put ITEMS AND SKILLS THERE so if i press F1 automatically items and skills will be use.

Thats all my REQUEST.
Thanks!!

In my opinion, i doubt this will be done, the fact that this is a ACTION MMORPG creates the image of continuous game play(nothing lazy :o)
2.Put a HP and MP BAR under the Character so if i'm killing a monster i will see if i'm out of HP and MP and I will see it in one LOOK!!
This is something i too will hope for, altho the HP bar is just at the corner of your screen, you sometimes need to concentrate on the battle.
3.I wish i could drag and drop items when i'm DROPPING,TRADING and SORTING ITEMS...thats kinda easy to use it.
Yea... this is a pretty important thing to get done, I believe many people would like this feature.
4.I wish theres a Shorcut bar on the upper of the screen and i can put ITEMS AND SKILLS THERE so if i press F1 automatically items and skills will be use.
Soon to come i hope?!

Actually we do plan to have a targetting feature where you only have to click a monster once and it will keep attacking until you take some other action.

Drag and drop is not an easy thing to implement but we'll probably try it somewhere down the line. Another solution could be to reduce necessary mouse interaction and try to make it convenient to use keyboard control.

We will have something like a shortcut bar eventually.

About HP bar, maybe drag around the status window so that it is closer to the battle. ;-)

By pressing G to get items can u change it to SpaceBar so its easy!!

If you want to use the spacebar, just change the code and recompile :lol: Just joking, I think in the future we will have a way to configure keyboard so you can use every key you want, but this is not a priority now.

For the other requests I think Bjorn already answered.

I think you should improve the attack with the STRG button :)
Attacking by bow from distance is only possible with the mouse. :(

You're probably right, but you know mouse it's easier :wink:

Hi Matt,

I'd made some changes in source code to add features like this... I'm able to select a targer (monster only) clicking over its with middle mouse button... Finally I can use arrows to move my char at same time which I hit the moster wit bow using TAB key...

I guess it's not difficult to me add a "click over monster -> start battle" function... I'll try this as soon I can able to make a function to keep distance of a monster (long for bows and short for others weapons)... I thinking about...

Hi Elven,

Did you read the private message I sent to you days ago???

Cya,

Javila

Probably it will go this way, but I'd like to keep both the options

Hmm.. well the idea of this being more used from the mouse takes away the fun in the game. I think if this is going to be action mmo then i dont suggest the point and click type game...them are getting boring now adays and more and more people are liking the games where u use the keyboard and control your character better.

I suggest making the attack ctrl, having a run button maybe with alt and doing something else with spacebar (switching chat screens?)

I think the keyboard is best also. :)
I think it requires more "skill" and the mouse is for lazy people. :wink:

OK, my feedback on this?

Well, only 2 things to worry about.

Mouse Users: Being lazy, shorten gameplay(im pretty sure...)

Keyboard users: Disadvantage against Mouse users, in most events and so on.

I think that we should keep Keyboard and drop the mouse...

Anyone play PSOBB(Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst)
Its basically a consol game on the PC, ONLY using keyboard, very nice interface and gameplay

Yep, I played the beta when it came out last month. :) Cool game but it gets annoying after a while... same areas over and over... :?

Yes, you would be lazy if you want to play a SoM type game with a mouse...
