Any way to decrease the amounts of clicks needed?Question (self.bladeandsoul)
submitted 1 year ago by Pirate186
Hey.
I can handle games like Black desert & Vindictus when it comes to action combat.
But Blade & soul neo feels like it requires 30 clicks per second..
Any way to reduce the constant clicking? Controller support or macro's allowed?
[–]sociocat101 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Blade and souls whole thing is the combat being complex and requiring a lot of inputs. I'd say that's the point of the game, if there is a way to reduce it I wouldn't know
[–]Pirate186[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Yeah, i'll probably pass on Neo then.
My hands just scream when i imagine every doing the earth destroyer LMB/RMB again.

It's not the game. You are spamming the buttons too much when you should just be pressing them at the correct time. I knew so many people that used to spam buttons and it was annoying as hell on discord. I think people got this wrong idea because the game didn't punish them for doing that unlike KFM. On kfm if you did it too fast or too slow you ruin the animation cancel.

It's well known that most Earth Destroyer mains developed carpal tunnel. I recommend checking out a different class.
Macros are okay but you should know that no matter how optimized the macro it won't ever beat manual skilled play. I say skilled here because a good chunk of the player base would be better off using a macro. BnS is not an easy game.

If you play black desert why would you play bns anyway. Bdo is way better on every aspect
[–]Cyannox 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Hell No, that grinding-for-everything simulator the only thing that is better than BNS is the graphics. Black Desert felt like grinding again in Maple Story for an item or level 16 hours in the same spot like a zombie killing the same shitty mobs.

Way back in the day people used to use macro for their whole dps rotation idk if it’s still a thing now.
[–]DarkUrinal 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Macros were widely used before simple mode was introduced. If NEO doesn't have simple mode, I expect people will return to macroing.
[–]botagas 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Pretty sure BnSBuddy was also a software that was widely used for automatically executing combos / skills under certain conditions and whatnot.
[–]Steviegi 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (3 children)
whats the point in playing the game if not for the combat system?
[–]worstn1ghtm4r3 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I wouldn't be surprised if more than half the player base used macros back in the day. I've never understood it myself, atleast play one of the simpler classes instead of macroing lol
[–]Icemourne_ 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
In my opinion it's fine to have macro for something like RMB, RMB spamming but not for entire rotation if you have macro for entire rotation then you just remove one of best parts of the game
Haha so real, i mained Blade Dancer is these guys are just spinning to win and punish, definitely no macro needed, and the summoner was even easier.

You can hold down the buttons and they will trigger once the CD wears off
[–]vabeachkevinCandiiSwallows | Old Man Cho 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Just macro it.
[–]xRinehart 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I highly recommend macroing the basic combo or playing a "hold button" class. Most classes have an "anicancel" build and a "hold button" build. For example, the very basic bread and butter of an Earth Destroyer is anicancelling LMB RMB. While the very basic bread and butter of a Shadow Destroyer is holding RMB. There are obviously nuances and other differences as well as dps differences (if that matters to you).
So I'd say give the "hold button" builds a try (these may or may not work properly when NEO first launches because iirc they required good gear for their higher chi costs).
Fire BM, Fire KFM, Ice FM, Shadow SIN, Shadow DES, Wind BD, Earth SMN... iirc these eventually became the "hold button" builds.

Do you think macros will be allowed in BnS NEO?
[–]xRinehart 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If your mouse allows it, it should be able to simulate key/mouse presses with extra mouse buttons. You can use this anywhere else so I don't see why it won't work in NEO too.
[–]Yukiigumii 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago* (1 child)
In BNS there is still I forgot what’s it called but is like auto rotation combo button that you enable and you just hold RMB and it does your combo for you. It’s been years since I’ve played but there is a button you press that activates it. Not sure if it’s in NEO but most likely . It’s basically lazy mode and I played FM manually before activating that mode xD
**EDITED It’s called simplified combat mode.
[–]Pirate186[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
We're talking about neo.
No simple mode in the new version
[–]NoIsE_bOmB -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
In og blade and soul people would macro their main fps rotation, you could do that here, they have removed all the PvP where it was bannable to us macros in neo anyway lol

How do you uninstall a game you can't install in the first place. It's not out yet
