Hi, I am trying out the new client, the interface is much better looking and overall I have not found an abundance of glaring bugs.
In my few days of using it, here is what I have discovered in regards to PvP.
The client can do almost everything that UOassist can.
But it can't do everything.
First, the new client cannot use a mousewheel up/down as a macro. I use mouse up for cure potions and mouse down for heal potions, so this is crucial if I were to use the enhanced client for PvP.
It needs to be added that a mouse wheel can function as a macro. Right now I have a Logitech G500 mouse, and the third and fifth buttons work fine, well, almost fine. The mouse wheel though is not an option at all.
I have one difficulty using the mouse's additional buttons.
If I have them casting a spell, for example, the cursor will appear and then disappear almost immediately, and I will get the text in the bottom left that I must wait to perform another action, as if it is trying to do additional things. The mouse button is not set to anything else, the macro is void of anything else other than this spell, it is some kind of error.
Next problem, when I'm casting spells in quick succession, which is crucial to successful PvP, it eventually stops casting. For example, if I am casting magic arrow then nether bolt, eventually it will simply stop casting, as if it can't keep up with the speed of casting. I'll keep hitting my macros and nothing happens. In a second or two I can cast again. This will ruin a fight in short notice. Seconds matter in PvP.
Now an issue with the new targeting, that perhaps is easily solved, but nonetheless deserves some feedback. I just switched (moments ago, actually) from Legacy targeting to the new targeting, because I had no choice if I wanted to make a mount macro. (a mounting command should be added!) Now, I'll cast a spell, one I've made a macro for, that has NO targeting macro and that I do not have on my hotkey bars. Most of the time, it will just target me and I have no choice. Sometimes the cursor comes up and I can choose my target, as I should be able to. This is random. Do I have to take every macro onto a hotbar and change its target to cursor, if I wish to use this targeting? Very frustrating.
The spell casting stop is the killer for me, otherwise the client is nearly playable for PvP. Keep updating and I look forward to a patch fixing some of these issues.
Thank you!
