1 Post	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 3:45 PM DesertRat I'm for it. I already use a macro for auto clicking. just wished it worked on the special whacks(things the auto whack feature doesn't whack) where i need to turn it off and click on the one thing; then turn it back on. Or the interruptions that keep me from playing to tell me i got a rune or something not important. I'm for it as long as you can turn it on/off. People could choose not to use it.

You would of course have to change a lot of the whack dynamic to enable this auto to pick up quest items and you'd need to deal with the item pop-ups though otherwise it wouldn't be very useful even to those that want to use it. What I would be very happy to have is an autofisher, I will put my hand up and say I already have an autoclicker set up for that function because it is quite boring and tedious so I set it up and go make a cuppa and play with the cat for 10 minutes while it runs, so having one that is 'official' would be a little less work. Auto casino would be good too, the only time I go there is to do the AI quest, I have a bucket-ton of citrines :D.

I realize that there are people who use an auto-clicker; their choice. For those who have physical issues with clicking, I understand that it might be worthwhile. There are people here who can teach them to use an online clicker instead. Is it a wise choice to make "Infini-whack" an integral option for THIS game? A game which is built for the fun of exploration? Call me a purist, but I still disagree with the concept.

3 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 5:07 PM 4nicolas2 I don't mind about the infini-whack in general (I personally don't see the attraction), but as many suggested an auto-fishing and auto-gambling would be fantastic!!! Those two tasks are always tiring for me and not super enjoyable.
10 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 5:38 PM lazysis I play both COTLI and BW2. Kinda like that they are different strategies. I would LOVE an auto clicker for fishing...oooo yah, I'd pay for it! Or for gambling (but may not pay). Don't care about rankings. Probably would not use the autoclicker on the fields in BW2...I mean that is the zen of this game. Fishing - make it faster, puleeese. But I think people would log in, hit the auto clicker and leave. Do not care if others want to do that for some weird reason. But if it changes the game. Not in favor of that.
36 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 5:43 PM Joyce Personally I would hate to see BW2 turned into an "Idle"-like game so I vote no for the Infinite Whacker in general. Wouldn't it be easier to block access to the rankings or eliminate them altogether? Since there are commercially available auto-clickers, people who wish to use one or have physical issues could use one for whacking. With that said, an auto-gambling and auto-fishing capability (with some limitations) would be really nice! Perhaps as rewards for completing certain Flux levels as an example.
485 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 5:54 PM Horsedancer1 I would love to have this feature. I get bored with whacking and considered getting an auto-clicker, but did not want to take a chance on introducing a virus into my computer. I listen to an audio book while whacking, but it is still boring. An auto clicker as an option in the game would be great. Folks who want to use it can, and those who don't like the idea can just leave it off. Thanks Nick.
22 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 6:00 PM Andrea until right now I never thought of the idea of leaving my game running and having an auto whacker run whenever there is energy because the energy thing pops up. I am up for it to use when I need to multi task
9 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 6:11 PM Michael Tms I like the idea though i'd like to see a list of things that would either stop or be done under certain criteria. Like when power is full, stop auto whacking/use power/continue whacking without using power. Mana full use mana till empty/use mana as soon as you have it/only use mana when full but only use once/dont use mana. An advanced feature could be to only use energy/mana/power when its over a certain amount that you can specify, perhaps through a sliding bar or a few set percentages of max. This however would only be useful in the case of leaving the game open for a long time. Personally I would use auto whacking just to use up my saved energy when im able to play and would like a sound to play when a quest is complete (toggleable and separate from the other sound option)
206 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 6:21 PM Kathy Jacobs I am all for an OPTIONAL in game autoclicker. As one whose hands don't always work, it takes me a while some days to get through what I want to play. In fact, on many days lately, I have had to put off playing until after my afternoon pain meds so that I have a chance to play as much as I would like to. Another thing I like about this option? It makes playing while traveling much easier. I can kick it off and do other things while it runs. Finally: Hubby would love it if I had this to use as an option sometimes. I seem to go through trackballs more than I used to just from clicking my base energy, etc. off. :) PS: Nick, I love these surveys. Thanks for asking all of us for our thoughts!

3 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 6:59 PM nessianhound I personally wouldn't use it much- the main part of the game I enjoy is resource management- and I don't pay much attention to rankings. Like a number of others have said, making fishing and gambling a little less manual would be a definite QOL improvement, as would adding automatically whacking the quest people/critters (on a related note, perhaps a trinket to reduce the amount of energy between quest whackables popping up?). So long as it's something that you can decide to use or not I don't really care if it's added- though I will say the issue of auto-clickers seems to be a largely "victimless crime" as it were.
81 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 7:57 PM IamGroot I still would be interested to see if Dave and Justin have chimed in on this concept. As Doc says, "That would make this too much of an idle bot game.

48 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 8:08 PM Saenz Family It really doesn't matter to me as I don't bother to worry about people who have higher levels as they probably started playing way before I did anyways and therefore have earned the higher rankings. Although, I would be interested in having an auto-clicker for fishing and casino.
19 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 8:41 PM Zingman So a built-in auto-clicker basically? Not sure what I think about that. It sounds "cool" but not sure it'd lead to (further) disengagement from the game in the long run... Would honestly almost rather ditch the ratings/scoreboard.
5 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2020 at 9:03 PM rotgold Hey Nick, thx for letting us add our thoughts. 1) For fishing (perhaps only in certain spots e.g. on my island and in the commons and NOT on AI) and/or casino slots YES!!! 2) I wouldn't like the game to be more like COTLI; if it is possible to implement an optional addition which doesn't change gameplay (dont automatize the picking up of e.g. brooms, poo, piles of whatever, please) I am all for it. 3) I dont care for ranking(s); during events it is nice to see which of my friens are actively taking part :-) 4) I already use a very simple auto-clicker for the rare times I sit in front of the slot-machines. 5) The not-expiring-runes while sword not-in-use is a very good idea! (Couldnt get the link to work while you asked for feedback)
