I think that this will be a western game, meaning that we willcall play with mouse and keyboard (mouse and wasd). I personally hate a click to move gamestile.

I think I see myself playing mostly point click because I will be doing a lot of gathering and watching children.

@perseus01 I think Ashes won't have click to move like some oldskool mmo's so that might be hard to do. To compare just like gw2 where you always have to hold a key to move. Except if you set autowalk on W or a mouse button i suppose you could farm with mouse only XDD

It's probably going to be like the BR.

Well that's a sham!

Soo you like to click things with the mouse cursor instead of turning towards the object\person 🤨 For immersion purposes, third person (actually first person is the most immersive but ignore that for now) action camera is the best one.

To answer your question, in Ashes there will be both traditional MMORPG camera and 'action stance' options so you have nothing to worry about in that regard.

Ah, well that's what I want. Untying my camera to my reticle. Well then, I'm all good here.
Thanks, Magic Man. You really are a magician pulling quotes out of your hat, haha.

Well having both tab targeting and skill shots gives the devs the ability to choose how the ability is going to work class can have action and tabe targeting abilities just the devs have to be smart enough to make a good class one example of this is League of Legends some abilites do not miss other are all skill shots. Talking about abilities other than autoattack.

I just hope I can tie in CC'n with skill shotting as a ranger. That would be fun and challenging.

As long as I’m never required to click on enemies in order to cast an ability, then I’ll be fine. Soft locking is completely useable and makes far more sense than any obligate click-to-make-skills-useable system that typically plagues tab systems.

Great parenting.

I just hope the summons are in-depth as action combat does limit summons

Especially if the AI isn't up to snuff.

You never have to click on enemies in a tab system. You use the tab key.

(That’s why it’s called a tab system.)

He clearly means he doesn't want to do anything but just turn towards the target 🤨 using the tab key to select a target is pretty tarded but not gonna get into that.

Right, soft targeting your opponent by "looking" at them, which is still reticle based.

...what if...the system changed based on skillset. I mean doesn't it do that now. Like the meteor shower is different, so like maybe the "skill" shots from say a ranger are the same way in a sense of a "volley". So power shots will just be action combat unless ofcourse you are playing "tab" target.

I think I just closed my own topic.
BTW, doing a great job Intrepid!

Personally, I'd like to see a system where tab targeting is based on proximity to the mouse cursor or aiming reticle. If that isn't on the agenda for them, being able to hard target the current soft target, such as clicking on a mouseover target, would be enough.

If you want to “aim” in a tab system, you have to click the enemy. Tabbing just cycles you through in an incredibly unreliable way.

If I’m actually aiming, then the game should be smart enough to react to that aiming.

It depends. Sometimes you just hit the tab key to arbitrarily cycle between enemies. Sometimes it automatically targets the closest enemy. Sometimes you have different keys that can target different things; closest, enemy that last hit you, target of your target, etc.

I’ve played tab target games where I never click on enemies. It depends on how it’s designed. Done well, it’s actually less clunky than soft-targeting. (Not that a soft target is bad either, that can work well.)

But the idea that tab target=have to click on enemies is just wrong. Using that as a criticism of the system is basing your argument on misconceptions and ignorance.
