beretta Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi, I was curious if in the future a option for certain party members to use their abilities automatically might be added. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 You could be able to right click (or Ctrl click) on a ability (such as Heal) and the party member will automatically use it when a fellow party members health is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosveen Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Probably a tactics menu a la Dragon Age. And even more probably, it will not be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecat Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Which is a pity, because the tactics menus - in DA2, especially - were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serdan Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A DA-style tactics editor is... not simple. I'd rather they spend their resources elsewhere, but at a minimum we really need BG-style scripts and an AI toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenicetus Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) For me, it's one of things that would be nice to have, but I can see how difficult it would be to program in this game, with the huge number of spells Priests and Druids have, and all the conditional variables you'd want. I could see spending hours just trying to find the right settings, so my casters didn't run out of spells and my other classes didn't run out of abilities just when I needed them. I remember doing this in other games, and it's frustrating when the AI settings don't do what you want them to. So far, every class seems useful in this game, so it's easy to tailor a group based on how much micro you want with spell and ability selection. When every fight starts to seem too long because I'm mulling through all the spell and ability options, I just swap out a companion from the ones at the Stronghold, and go back to a more melee focused party. Right now I'm trying to decide between having two heavy casters in the party or three, because three (Wiz + Priest + Druid) is a lot of work. On the other hand, it's fun when the fireworks go off...

Horrorscope Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) IMO that should be the next release PoE 2, to me that is a needed big ticket item. Would totally add to the elegance of playing. Edited April 11, 2015 by Horrorscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
