I had no idea. I saw someone in OPR (Chocolate Smooth) that has light attacks that look as fast as the perforate skill. They just have no downtime. I looked for a macro program for a mouse to see if it’s possible and easily found it.
According to players on our server, tons of people are using programs or their built in mouse macro capabilities to maximize their light attacks to ensure they are maximizing their DPS.
Thought Id share in case youre like me and doing the old fashioned way of clicking your mouse button. Others click once and get their full light attack chain. Crazy.
I wonder if AGS cares? Or if its considered just some silly little thing like the VG slide.
Seems like something that’s bannable but with the way AGS operates, would be nice to get clarification if it’s something that just utilizes the built in functionality of your mouse anyways.
Is it? Its just a macro to speed up the light attack process. According to everyone on our server, its legal because most mouse software allows you to create macros as well.
And to clarify, I havent used it. But if people are all using it to speed up their light attacks and get an edge, shouldnt everyone be allowed to use it?
And on the opposite, if its not legal, shouldnt those players get banned? If theyre reported and still playing for months on end, wouldnt it seem as if they (AGS) support it?
Let me clarify this. If you see light attacks super fast there are hacks that cancel the delay between them and a guy posted a video about it. That is a hack because probably change values in the memory of the game. 100% bannable.
If is a macro that just left click spam will not make it faster than regular attacks.
wasnt the last time this happend it was a macro that animation canceled to abuse the hatchet? im pretty sure it didnt involve changing any other aspects of the game data but i could be wrong.
no desu that was also editing the memory
If you go super fast with clicks the attacks have a time anyway. That thing was deleting the delay between them so you could click super fast and it was doing everything super bugged mixing the animations
Yeah there was also macros to spam swap weapons and light attacks with the Fire Staff. it didn’t modify anything with the game, just provided an animation cancel between light attacks to spam the attacks much quicker.
If any application / macro does not have to modify anything within the game itself to achieve these sorts of results, the problem is the games coding, not the player who setup a macro.
If any application / macro changes values within the local cached files or memory, that is instantly bannable… and also should be detected by the anti-cheat.
Look in ESO I did one simple thing because you could put a light attack between skills and do animation canceling. I used a metronome. You know the ones used by drummers? Easy win LOL became top dps of the world.
Not the case of this game tho. This game is more about math on build/gear and being smart. Skill gap? A normal Dark Souls player that finished the game is absolutely covered here.
The way this sentence is worded assures me that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Side note: You can review the notes for this on the link as well as the script for this macro and it is simply the hatchet animation cancel. This won’t work for other weapons and it was fixed for the hatchet a LONG time ago.
I doubt a macro is concidered bannable offence but there is an actual hack that removes downtime between strikes. If you run the hack you can click faster than the hits register so the hack is used together with a macro for absolute best speed you can have.
I wont post any links but should be pretty easy to google… there is also a vid
you used hatchet ads (aim down sight for lack of better wording), when you have the axe throw ability, to cancel light attacks, so it was a spam between left click to attack, right click to activate ads and cancel the attack animation just after the swing landed, and with great timing you could go super fast. possibly could have used a macro but the timing was so weird I don’t think it would ever work unless you’re like right beside the servers
The way this sentence is worded assures me that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Troll? muted and ignored forever.
Plus on top of that we where speaking to a total different thing, not the one on the link of this post that is a clear macro. AH AH. The way this sentence is worded assures… my god what I have to read in this forum… lol.
They are (or at least a warning initially) but as with alot of things in the game people are thinking they can get away with it, considering how much AGS has already to deal with.
Just because something can done in game and AGS hasn’t addressed or fixed doesn’t mean its legal or appropriate. Its just one of a godly amount of bugs/issues that are still being worked on.
