Add Macros to the Game

I agree. By having macros built into the game it becomes available for all and it should also make it easier for MA to policy it better e.g. by disabling certain macro actions in some areas or situations when needed.

No-one says all macros should always be allowed everywhere. Doesn't mean we cant have them at all.

There are other possible macro actions than *interact with a creature*.
Possibilities:
- custom log messages
- crafting batch, craft 100 success of each damage enhancers 1-10
 
It's already a form of AFK arena but MindArk has no control over it. Implement it in game and gain control while also levelling the play field for current players. More people will be cycling and more revenue for the company.

To counter current macros an official one would have to have some settings attached I think, not just auto next nearest mob. But the menu for starting an auto run need not be complicated as such, I think, and would be worth looking into by MA now I think.
 
Why counter macros? Embrace it.

We have already seen ai development and now ai president. Just complete the circle and introduce ai players (macroing). Its the natural next step. The amount of intelligence is only going up.

Many players are very intelligent, an ingame macro system would be relatively easy to use. Its not a mandatory feature to use anyway, but it would certainly enable more players to become level 500 supertropian. An ingame macro system is therefore potentially a high value feature for MA.

Changes that would enhance the macro system:
- when it comes to hunting in the open world, delegate the open world primarily to world bosses and timed events
- turn on shared loot on all creatures in the open world
- introduce instances for every creature and maturity for the normal grind

Additions that would enhance the macro system:
- function to move your avatar to specific coordinates
- function to get location of your mining claims
- function to get location of mission npcs (in case they are moved around by the devs)
- function to interact with nearby terminals
 
Really? You can press one key and kill a whole mob as it is.
 
Add "take next target after kill", just mod for auto use tool. I suggested it before or like in some other games, macro with script. I was using in one game macro as healer. There is nothing wrong with it. When I jumped to CM account and my friends also, when someone raported bot without response to chat, we just shadow mode there, observe, and boot out of game if someone is not in front of screen, if that was farm to abuse, just ban account.

In one way its simple, but in other MA would need to have REAL staff to work and play not only copy paste text.
As old GM/CM we always interact with players to help them. Sometimes noob cant handle some elite in quest, so I jumped just to heal. Sometimes pay attention to trade and scammers, sometimes just go and pick someone who was lost. It was fun. But I doubt MA would pay regular $/h to such dedicated crew. As looking to older parts of forum and some other outside pages, they already got problems with picking staff to work and some items were redistributed to other players. In my opinion all net of them should be banned. But how to ban someone who got bigger assets then most newbies here. So yeah, game have potential only need changes in upper staff.
 
I am against hard automation in games...it completely destroys the immersion. We are supposed to be colonists fighting against robots no? Not become robots ourselves...

Macros should be for accessibility purposes only, not for gameplay. But that is just my opinion - not a hard truth :)

Tell me it after smashing F button for 4h. Im at stage when listening to podcast, not watching game and only clicking F. It would be way better if I we can just observe screen and not smash. Sweating is auto, crafting is auto, mining str8 line with max speed is auto. hunting would be good.
 
Auto deposit
Auto withdraw
 
That makes it really simple!! Everywhere is lootable pvp all of the time, no more bots! ;)
While I think this is an interesting though experiment it is never going to happen lol.

So...Just for those AFK/Auto-Playing not the active players. They get flagged and hunted by those who are willing to spend the time.

Have always thought people that afk in sweat circles should be susceptible to being sweat themselves , if afk past a certain time.
Would take care of a problem that plagues the smooth running of the circle.

Have it draw the bottles of sweat from their inventory lol. Love it.
 
Even a monkey can google "macro entropia" and set it up.

If MA allows (atleast they doesn't act on it) people using a macro that spams F, why not give everyone the same "advantage" by implementing it in-game?

good sugjestions, i like the race to the bottom

why not remove any gameplay alltogether, it seems stupid that anybody would need to waste time befor they can start wasting money, just give me the option to select at a terminal how many monsters of what type i wanna kill, and give results instantly

i swear, all this GAMEPLAY is geting in my way of GAMBLING
 
To everyone asking for macros or more convenience for macros can you at least be real for a second?

What this thread really is about is adding the possibility to bot in the game plain and simple. "F" is already a macro key to select the nearest mob and start shooting, that is a macro. What you guys are talking about involves automatic control of your character, not emulating keyboard functions.

Holy cr*p this is infuriating.
