/forceATK toggle (not toggle PvP....). Mechanics needed.
In todays Dev Update, I was surprised to see Jeff Bard unaware of Stevens degisn regarding /forceATK.
However, these are the risks involved with transparency during development, some people might misunderstand or bad mouth the developers. And for that I congratulate Intrepid Studios for their courage and confidence.
The full action/tab/flagging/Corruption mechanics are still not in place obviously and that is why Jeff and Steven were not eye to eye on the combat toggle and what it means. It isn't necessary coding at this point in development. That's my guess.
Why is this toggle, as Steven wants it, important for Ashes of Creation. I wanna break down my views on attacking mechanics so bear with me for a few posts.

Re: In game Word Processing/Spreadsheet
On the flip side, I believe there is a hidden game embedded within Excel.
I said spreadsheet, I didn't say excel. Excel is an example of a spreadsheet, but not the only one in the world. I wasn't asking to be able to open up MS Office inside the game. I was asking for an integrated word processor and spreadsheet in the UI. As people have already said, there is already a journal, it would be nice if you could write in one too.

Re: Dev Discussion #7 - Toxicity
Well most recently I'm coming over from Atlas, and what the developers there did to curb the rampant toxicity in the game's first few months was to have the game fall flat on it's face. It worked brilliantly. Nearly all of the toxic players have left. So has nearly everyone else, but you can't break a few eggs without making an omelette right?
On the off chance that's not the route you're looking to go with AOC, do everything in your power to make ingame reputation matter. It is the removal of the social consequences we must deal with in real life if we act like a nerfherder in public that lead straight to the asshattery that drives players away from online games just so some numbnuts can stop feeling like his parents didn't love him enough.

Re: Combat and mechanics. Active vs passive combat
If you think RPGs are boring, don't play RPGs.

Re: In game Word Processing/Spreadsheet
But why? What is wrong with using your computer and not putting in things that are already built?
I can just see some fantasy medieval monk walking along. He sees a pretty flower. Pulls out a tablet, takes a picture, looks on the internet and identifies it. Then goes back to walking by a peasant hoeing in the mud. But he doesn't notice the earbuds the peasant is
Yeah. Using a spreadsheet in a fantasy realm doesn't break immersion...
Have you ever thought of how much work it would be to program in your ... ideas on what the developers should do?

What we don't realize is that this is going to be an official Rogue skill, "the Pokey-poo". Size is dependent on the Knife you equip.

Re: Chapter Four: A Braver’s Choice
The mage steps into the vanguard, pushing aside the tank. She smirks as the dwarf screams. It sounds like a
toddler's cries. Just like how the tiny dwarf looks. The mage yawns and looks at her nails. "Ugh the nail polish
is already wearing off. And I spent five silvers on it too..." she says as she punts the dwarf into oblivion while
flicking aside a strand of her rustic hair. She looks to the enemy group, eyes full of boredom. Her sight glazes
over the many heads, judging each one by appearance as if she were scouting talent for the emperor's
personal theatre troupe. "Next."
