Gudi Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Auto-retaliate... Doesn't that mean that you automatically retaliate to combat? I [bleep]in wish. I get attacked by someone, but because i was following someone else... Even though i have auto-retaliate on, it doesn't [bleep]ing auto-retaliate. Seriously, what kind of bull [cabbage] is that...

Zaaps1 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Can you confirm that the reason you didn't retaliate was because you were following someone? That is to say, are you sure there isn't another factor that prevented you from attacking back? ~It's Super Effective!

Gudi Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 I had been following them for like 15 seconds, and in that time had done nothing but turn the camera =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really thought anything of it, but it doesn't really seem to make sense to me. Oh well, I can take a few hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirkmetal Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 *edit*I have no clue how this post ended up on this thread, I clicked reply to the mage rant thread, and somehow when I clicked 'post reply' it ended up here. To bad there's no delete post option on this forum. Maybe a mod could do it if he happens by here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkn0wnwarrior Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I can relate to that. Although if they made it that way, I would start getting a little less lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I actually think the follow and auto-retaliate thing is better. If you're with a clan, you want to follow the leader, and not get distracted by monsters/players that get in the way.

It's probably just me, since I always keep auto retaliate on so that I can automatically kill the monsters that try to attack me. I'm lazy. :rolleyes: BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowLayEgg Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is it that hard to click on the guy manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is it that hard to click on the guy manually?Tha's not the point. Auto-retaliate, you would think, means it cancels any other action to fight back. But it doesn't cancel following. And that doesn't make much sense to me, nor the OP.

Auto-retaliate, you would think, means it cancels any other action to fight back. But it doesn't cancel following. And that doesn't make much sense to me, nor the OP. It's called priority tiering. Getting attacked doesn't break follow because of the examples listed above. Annoyance because it isn't set up that way. Yea, you pretty much summed up the double standard that is this thread. "I don't want to have to click! You should have to click, and if you don't want to it's because you're lazy, but totally not because I'm lazy."

unkn0wnwarrior Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You can turn off auto-retaliate, whereas creatures/other players aggression has no button to toggle it. The priority should be on the one which can be turned off, in my opinion (since if you don't want it to activate you can turn it off). It doesn't really affect me, anyway, but it never made much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
