I would like to suggest having a bumon that automatically uses your best available attack. Possibly the spacebar. |

Request move to rp forum, so I can fully express my thoughts on this matter. |

I had a very similar thread in which I posted the same suggestion in possibly a way that was sarcastic, so therefore, it was not worthy of being a discussion of the game, or in the game discussion area, that thread is here: http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/31601-suggestion-make-the-game-easier |

Nope, this one is actually serious & constructive. I can see the validity of having another key that was always set to certain attack/action, even if it wasn’t your most powerful. If you wanted to have a healing/refresh item always be tagged to the spacebar, that would be helpful I think. Especially for Hackers, that tend to run out of room on the toolbar.
And besides, there’s already an RP thread about this. |

When ET was in IDC the other day, he mentioned something about adding more space/adding more toolbars. So at least we know it’s coming. CrinkzPipe edited this message on 04/06/2009 11:11AM |

I simply order my attacks on the bar from strongest to weakest so the numbers just go in order…
It never changes, but then again I heard it’s different for emo’s or something because it depends on their ego? I see how that would get annoying needing to keep checking the stats of everything. (I’ve never played other clbumes, just going by hearsay)
If so, signed. If you just can’t order your keys, not signed. |

What you suggest, I don’t feel is necessary, but you are talking about a dedicated key for a certain action. What Wylin is suggesting is a key that will make his gaming choices, regardless of how few there may be, for him. Wylin Posted:
What Wylin is suggesting is the ability to simply hold one key down to pwn the whole forum. If this is to be taken seriously then he is honestly suggesting that 1, 2, 1, 2 or even 2, 0, 1, 3, 1, 4 is too much work. It is the equivalent of running a script or having a bot play for you.
I found it ridiculous to bumume that he wasn’t being a bit trolly. Almost every gamer type on the site has been complaining for months about the fact that pwning is boring, that 1, 2, 1, 2 is a ridiculous way to try to retain the interest of game players. There is no reason at all to “dumb down” a game mechanic that already requires no freaking thought. |

I can’t believe Wylin is serious. I swore he was just joking around. If two keys is too difficult for you I recommend never playing video games again.
I’m also not trolling here; there’s just no point. Why not just have the game auto-pwn a forum for you when you enter it?
Pressing 1 2 1 2 is mindless enough. Why is space space space space a better option? |

Shii Posted: You can leave a remote control on the space bar and go take out the garbage while you pwn. If you are farming I think you could set Firefox to auto-refresh once a minute or whatever and use all 12 visits while you do other stuff.

I believe Wylin has brought up a very valid and useful feature that could be added to the game. I know that pressing 1 and 2 in a repeated fashion has worn out my 1 and 2 keys more than any other. If we could implement an “auto-fire” key, I could just hold down that key and pwn an entire forum without wearing it out. If you could implement an auto-refresh so that I can pwn that same forum over and over while holding that bumon down aswell, that would be swell. And maybe tie in a function that posts to flamebate at the same time, and plays blackjack for me, and repairs my equipment when needed. The possibilities for this single bumon idea are endless! |

I will merely point out that Wylin forgot to ask for the space bar to open the next thread once you have pwned a thread, and open the next un-streaked forum available when you have pwned the forum – or alternately, open the same forum again if you are farming.
Removed other thoughts before posting because A) This is in Game Discussion B) I understand that the intent is to get CZ’s attention with this “modest proposal” in a way that an RP thread or non-trolling post might not.
I’ll save real game improvement suggestions for a thread that isn’t likely to wind up in WB. |

Okay, I think I fully understand the proposal now. Not one specific attack pre-dedicated, but set up to use whichever attackis currently available + the most powerful, regardless of where it is normally bumigned.
That idea, I’m more ambivalent about. It would make life on my Hacker a hell of a lot easier, though. |

And that’s what we really need at this point – to make the game easier. Thankfully ET is on the case, making the game easier for everyone, so we can all continue to reap the rewards of success at exactly the same pace, no matter what choices we make. Hey, I think I might be beginning to understand the original proposal now Log in to see images! |

Hackers actually care significantly about not wasting their high-powered attacks. I wouldn’t want to automatically ipz a near-death thread. |

It makes for more interesting game play, having to make combos instead of a 1-2 punch the other clbumes do. |
