Multi client issues while bossing

Making triple throw unmacroable would be a pretty funny NL nerf

 

means buccs can't barrel cancel again

How is the game any more balanced with removal of attack macros? Are bossers making so much money that they're eclipsing all other methods of gameplay? Will more PB runs fail if someone casts 2 less attacks while they're using their TL or bishop mule for 15 seconds twice in a run? Are the few seconds it takes to manage a sed mule every now and then going to increase the challenge in HT, since you can only use 1 attack? Are these valuable seconds enough justification for uprooting an entire system that a large part of the playerbase enjoys without 'abusing'?

 

The point is that the most powerful implementation of mules in bosses has never been to use multiple attackers at once, though it's been done by a few individuals, but by the ability to cheese many of the mechanics of bosses without any real drawbacks. A sedower for HT is becoming one of the more popular mules to bossing, and losing out on a couple attacks doesn't change how inherently strong they are for just ignoring a significant mechanic of HT. For Pink Bean I don't think anyone is willing to use multiple attackers in the first place, as it's better to simply run twice in a week with 2 characters than it is to run once with 2 attackers, so instead you offer additional services like TL and res.

In the past the main draw of Heaven's Hammer mules for Horntail is that they only needed a few buttons pressed every 10 seconds to significantly increase overall damage. Minimalism in a mule's use tends to be one of the main attractions in sweaty gameplay.

Overall it'd be a change that harms your average player more than multiclienters. Animation canceling wouldn't work for Buccaneers and Corsairs would be a start, but it would also continue to increase the divide between people who multiclient and people who simply have 2 computers to use. It just isn't a good suggestion for dealing with the problems in the game while also taking away a mechanic for casual players.

 

(just noticed alyosha said the same before me but gonna leave this here to reinforce it). The macro change would only benefit people who can afford more computers as they gonna still be able to duo or triple attack using multiple pcs + keyboards/pedals.

 

Things just were not the same after the Dash macro removal...
