This may have been brought up in the past but I think it would be helpful (especially during Global Events) if there was a toggle in your preferences that allows you to attack Champion class creatures with the number keys.  This of course would be off by default.

 

Currently, during a Global Event that has Champion Class creatures (potion Globals) if you want to attack the champion creatures, you either have to do a LOT of clicking or you can switch to the classic map to use your keyboard.  Most don't know about the classic map workaround and even if you do you probably agree that that map is much slower.

 

This is really a pain during these events but adding a toggle to attack these creatures with the keyboard can help even beyond the Globals.  Some players may even want this functionality always enabled.

 

I'm not sure if you would want to allow this for SE and Titan creatures but I'm sure many would like this ability.

Champions as a toggle I'd see no issue with. SEs and Titans I doubt though. I think that has the potential to cause problems. I'll mention it to Hoofmaster.

[WWWolf]

Yeah, I can see some potential for problems w/ SEs and Titans.  Already enough players complaining about how the new buffs are making Titan hunting easier lol

 

Was mainly just wanting the Champions (especially Global Champions) - the other classes may take some debate.

[BigGrim]

I can see the reasoning behind Global Champions for sure.

Hi Grim,

 

Is there a reason why it would cause problems for Titans / SEs? I understand that SE's could cause issues if they're on the keyboard because you might unknowingly die because of the stat difference. Is it possible to maybe create options for players to toggle the ability to label SE's and Titans on the keyboard - with the player understanding they are taking the risk? 

 

I, personally, would like the option to be able to make titans be on the keyboard. The cooldown would still be in effect, but would stop the issues with highlighting the monsters name and other items that bother me.

The only real problem I can see is seeing that some players complaining about the new buffs making Titan Hunting too easier that one more thing that would be seen as making it "easier" might cause a bit of a stir.

 

Personally, I would like to see it as an option for Titans as it would greatly cut down on error clicks bringing up PvP dialogs and info on the Titan.  Of course, it would open you up to more chances of accidentally killing any other creature on that space unless you are using the "do not kill list" in FSH.

 

Of course, I may be missing other reasons that Titans and SEs might not be ideal for this but none are coming to me at the moment.  However, if they allow multiple creature classes, there should be a toggle for each class as play styles vary greatly.

No I understand. There is an option in preferences to show only titans whenever one is active I believe. This cuts out on the accidental killing of monsters versus the titan.

 

However, that was another reason - always having the "message player" pop-up. I think if you were able to disable view player / message player / attack player from the main screen - I would take that as a win versus asking for the ability to hit the #1 key.

 

I can definitely see it making titan hunting a little easier - as then you have one less place you need to click, and thus allows you to move quicker with teleport and other things. It is not a necessity by any means, but was just asking the question.

Well...As far as I can see it, the only problem about adding Titans on the keyboard kills is because it's harder to kill it with the mouse, you need some miliseconds to move the mouse to the right place...But is it something we really need to save?

Each hunt over a Titan is a pain for me, because I ALWAYS move to 'Attack Player' page because of the lag, what makes me lost some time opening the World again and setting the page correctly to hunt again...At least that problem would be solved.

But I believe that should not be added at 1~8....Champions and Titans should be killed with the '9' key...That would be great.

Well it is placement of the mouse, but I do get the same things - lag or not with the Attack Player page and the message page. I believe if those were removed it'd be fine.

 

I also find myself getting into the highlighting of the titans name often whenever I get annoyed at the attack titan. If it would make it so that I couldn't highlight the titan's name, that'd be great and I wouldn't suggest the number for a titan. 

 

Making the titan #9 or whatever number would be fine. If it doesn't happen, that's fine too. I just figured it'd be easier for those who may have the slower connections who get the attack player page over and over rather than being able to teleport or move onto a square and press a number.

Yes, it's not just a matter of hiding/disabling player interactions on a map with an active Titan.  There is also the issue when you attack the Titan and win then if you click it again before the refresh, you get a dialog window for the Titan Info.  Being able to use the keyboard (reguardless of what key assignment - could even be 'T' for all I care) would solve both issues that Titan hunters (who don't use scripts) complain about.

 

However, like Kedyn I honestly don't care a whole lot either way.  It has been working this way since the introduction of Titans and though annoying, it is not a critical component of the game.  This is just a suggestion

Great suggestion Wolf. 

 

As for the quote, I'd like to offer a stunning new phrase to the entire FS Community. It's a huge twist on what we tend to see...

 

If it's broke, fix it. 

 

A lot of us are simply too complacent. I'm part of the problem. )o0

That annoys me because I know players with better internet/computer don't suffer from it, only the slower ones...What brings more separation between players.
