auto aim !? / why ?

[zweier]

why we have auto aiming ?
i was hunting with my bow. and i randomly pressed 1 and my charackter auto aimed the enemy with 100% hit rate.

i dont like this thing

[MΛRCUS HΞLIUS]

makes it more accessible and casual I guess

I wish the Wand had Free targeting cause ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when I'm trying to hit the thing beating my ass but my wand is shooting some guy across the room out of range smh

You have a 100% hit rate on body shots, but if you want to make headshots you have to aim manually.

I like it a lot, makes it accessible for casuals, while giving you the option to use your skill to improve the damage.

Also makes it easier for console peasants in the future ;)

Never seen so many complaints about not being able to hit a critter.
It is a very loose auto aim you can break out of it easily.
Same with bow, just right button to manually aim.

I don't use the wand, it actually tends to miss 100% because stuff get's in the way or it has a sort of random miss applied.. either way useless for killing rabbits and sheep.

Not used the Staff Magic.

THE GAME ISNT PERFECT JUST BECAUSE OF THAT... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Yes but you don't hit headshots with auto aim.

This! The only way I have found to get the wand to semi reliably hit the target closest to me is to look down and aim at my feet. Then, it will often, but not always, hit the opponent wailing on you. Wand aim needs a serious fix, as even using Tab target is often frustrating and ineffective.

Barrels littered all over the levels, and no way to hit them with the wand. Can't believe there's no option to turn auto-aim off. Constantly targets the wrong enemy too. Maybe bows are better? But wands have a mind of their own. Super frustrating to play.

I am not a fan of the auto aim either, I turn it off in all games that allow me to turn it off because I want complete control over my aim. I also don't like how key presses can auto-use weapons in this game. I would like to be able to toggle both off so I hope they add both options at some point.

I hate when it auto aims stuff that i'm not actually aiming at.. I also hate when i'm fighting a group and my character pinballs through all of them due to auto aim.

You can shoot or throw pinballs? that is maybe awesome. Does one of the people you save make the pinball machines that give you pinballs? or do you have to find the pinball machines out in the world?

Like most bad game designs I call it up to console compatibility.

If you don't like it , don't use it.

Pretty simple solution , yes?

For melee, this isn't even an option. Really sucks when you have beast master skills and as such animals around you are friendly, and you go to hit a barrel to break it for materials and your person doesn't swing towards the barrels, they attack to the left and hit the spider, which causes all the previously friendly spiders to attack you...

Most the tree's have issues and that is good reason its EA. Beast master needs a rework and a battle pet to make it feel more unique and balanced if you ask me.

As for auto combat, its a choice and overall the game is going to have tons of balance issues as it is in EA and as new features come in so do bugs and balance issues. Wont see any major balance changes until all features are in.
