Keybinding for focus, ignores limit.

Recommended Posts

During combat UI focus button becomes inactive at some point and blocks ability to raise focus to higher levels, but when I use keybinding, I can still increase focus level.
Either button restricts my character too quickly (on too low level), or the keybinding ignores restriction.

wrong...

I have numpad0 for focus.. it works as intended - you can not use it until the eye in the gui appears

 

if you're doing something else describe it in detail, if you want in pm to a dev, but focus keybind in a fight works as intended afaik, at the start of a fight there's specific time where you can not focus you're probably messing up in that and spam focus once that time is over, by that time the gui eye icon appears and you can either keybind or click focus from ui

No, he's right. The focus eye was broken at some point and somehow still hasn't been fixed. It closes incorrectly at Focus Level 3 preventing you from focusing further, but the keybind can be used to focus as intended.

Another simple bug that they've known of for a while but still can't/won't fix it

We're not saying it allows you to focus early. Once a fight has progressed enough that you can focus, do so. When you reach Level 3, the eye will close again, preventing you from focusing further even though you should be able to. However, you can then use the keybind to bypass the button not functioning.

OOOOOOOOOhhhh.. must be limitation by fighting skill or weapon mastery or w/e prevents it.. but keybind works than.. OK, I'm 97fs.. I can't see this at all, for me once it opens it's open season all the way to the end; good catch for noob balance

If something stops you at focus 3.. it's some kind of skill/stats,

good report to balance the new players/pvp alts from cheating with keybind if UI is blocked but keybind overrides it

 

--edit

one more time.. once on my side the gui focus eye opens - it remains open to the end of the fight/unless stunned and whole fighting ui is blocked/

You can use it even before the eye opens, but not in the first fight, only in every next one 🙂
You can raise the focus to the max level before the normal UI button during second fight would let you add 1 level to focus.

Again, it isn't a skill issue lol. Focusing past 3 was never blocked for me prior to the mini-update where they made the eye open and close to show if you could focus, and plenty of others have the same problem

It doesn't close for me, whatever causes it for you to close - isn't happening here or fight doesn't last that long to see it happen

changing target (having 1+ focus skips the timer at the start of combat, but the ui doesn't reflect that) having a focus action interrupted by damage or dropping focus from a big hit breaks focusing via ui. 0 clue what finn is on about as always

Sooo this is still broken btw.

 

Can use the Focus button in the UI until Focus Level 3. The eye then closes and you cannot use it to go to Focus Level 4. If you use the Focus keybind while you're at Focus Level 3 it will allow you to go to Focus Level 4 at which point the eye will open up and allow you to use it to go from 4 to 5.
