Why is auto target in this game?
Mon, 08/27/2012 - 11:26
In a skill oriented game like this, why does it exist? I don't care if it gets removed or not, just wondering.

To give weird controller setups a chance. Just like many console FPS offer slight autoaim too.

Have you ever tried gunning
Have you ever tried gunning with keyboard controls? In particular, it makes playing on a laptop... possible. Not quite easy, but possible.

Because only P2P players have opinion in this game
And most if them are too noobs to play without it.

Because people with gamepads don't get an aim reticule.

Some people lag a LOT, unlike many of you. With 400-500 ping and teleporting/freeze lag and stutters, Auto-Target helps me actually be *effective.* In a game lacking servers like this, Auto-Target is NECESSARY for people with less than optimal connections to actually play.
How many of you have actually considered that?

Going by the replies in this thread, I'd say...none.

I dont know about you, but I spent the majority of my early days in this game using arrow keys and z/x since i didnt have a mouse handy.
Auto-Aim is pretty nice to have when you dont have a mouse.

Have you tried gunning (or even using a sword for that matter) without a mouse?

Have you ever...
Played with a controller? For me, without auto-aim, I tend to miss a lot.

MY lag is terrible, I damaged by spikes after crossing them one second before they come up, sometimes killed by trojans when Im BEHIND them by a sword slam (and their not using their attack buff I can guarantee... Unless lag actually can be that bad... can it?).
Lockdown is the worst, even though some say im not the worst with 3K average in T2 but I can Easily blame 80% of my deaths on lag.
Once I decided to try not using AA for a while in LD. I forgot to turn it off and i missed the big fat lump of shadow fire (Vanaduke).... With my pulsar.
Rockets in RT hit me as I dodge them 2 tiles away, Jellies hit me 2 tiles away and Zombie breaths hit me a whole tile away from their animation with zombie swipes hitting as the dodge... And the list goes on and on.
Do you understand now, AA is good for laggers, Laptop users, Controller users, New players and some more. Thats more or less 25+% of our player population.

if you use auto aim, that's cool, if you don't that's also cool, who cares? I'm no more impressed by someone who can take out mobs/knights with AA off than i am with AA on, the end result is the same. If you have an elitist attitude and still complain about people using AA then you don't deserve to have said elitist attitude because you can't adapt (which is the key to survival).

@Shoebox
It is. In most MMOs if you're not high enough level, it's impossible to defeat strong enemies. In Spiral knights people do runs in proto gear
Also, no, I've never played with a controller. Why would I do that?
@Melisan
I don't remember complaining about AA

I like it without AA. I find dodging and shield canceling easier. You can also hit certain things that you can't hit with AA. Just keep everything like it is.

Processing Thoughts of You Always
I used Auto-Aim for about 5 days after my mouse broke and I was forced to play with keyboard only on my laptop.
Needless to say, it sucked. My weapons of choice ended up being the Sealed lines, toothpicks, and Polaris.
However, it was better than my attempt to play with my touchpad, which resulted in me fighting like a drunken monkey.
I appreciate that Auto-Aim is useful to people who might otherwise have difficulty in hitting the target, given the limitations of their computer, Internet connection or otherwise... I still wouldn't use it voluntarily, though.

Not exactly
The term Casual game refers to getting in and out of a game, well, casually. It doesn't have to do with the amount of skill needed.
At least that's how I think of it

I think having auto-target is a godsend because I play Spiral Knights with a keyboard and no mouse, using only my feet. I also don't have a monitor.

Haha Goofio. +1 Respect.
The game shouldn't have auto aim, at least for swords in LD. I understand this isn't a skill based game, but I'd like to make it more skill oriented by removing AA so it wouldn't be so latency based. Less expensive to imporve skill than latency.
To make it easier for beginners to learn the battle tactics. Doesn't really matter if you use it or not
