AotI: Auto-run! Its cruise control for cool!

[Helly]

Just wanted to mention my appreciation of this feature since it seems to be an overlooked/underused one!

With PSO GC I wore out several Gamecube controllers analog sticks, but now with auto-run, I needn't fear such a fate for my PS2/3 sticks! Controller safety isn't the only good thing though! Tagging along behind others like a NPC (and yes even getting stuck like one) can be cute fun! Even when not in a party it I still like using it to run around places with only a slight course correction when needed.

So for me, auto-run is an auto-win!

[HFlowen]

I've thought about setting auto-run on the mission leader and setting my turbo controller to hit the PA button every 10 seconds or so.

I'd probably still be more effective than an NPC. =P

At least until I died or we entered a new block...

Trouble is auto run is turned off if you press any other action button. Unless you can also set the D pad on your turbo to hit it every 10 secs too?

[kurisu1974]

I use it quite often when I'm using items and don't want to fall too far behind. Auto-run ROCKS. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

yea it is a good feature i use it all the time when im smokin

[Akaimizu]

Auto run fights lag like George Foreman does fat. (in his grills) So it can be a great feature if you've run into those problems.

autorun in this game blows compared to ffxi's auto run =(

[Nuclearranger]

Its better than NO autorun

[Akaimizu]

FFXI also had more need for the Autorun. This game, it's a convenience. With FFXI, it's a part of life. And with that much landscape to go over and fall a sleep, travelling over, (getting lost), the Autorun and follow is a godsend to that game. So yeah, it would be better over there just on the principle that it has better use in that game.

I'd rather anonymous mode. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif But it's not completely useless, I suppose. Well, even if I barely use it not on accident.

I've never used this feature and probably never will. Playing PSO for years taught me to move and use the menu system at the same time. Old habits die hard.

[panzer_unit]

If you're not totally asleep, you can control your own dood a bit to avoid getting stuck without turning autopilot off. Huge step up on NPC-following.

Oh yeah, the FF12-style green line is super cool.

Don't touch my Gambit!!

Problem, Doesn't Auton-Run Make a Green line? Or does that only show up on the person that is auto-runin screen?

[Akaimizu]

Autorun is just autorun. The green Line is there when you set follow. However, to truly activate follow you set your Green Line and Autorun. They're two separate functions.

[Hyper_Rappy]

i use the auto run some time. but iv gotten use to just runing and doing menus at the same time. i would realy like to know how to get the follow to work.

[Akaimizu]

When in a party, you basically, first start the follow command. You won't follow immediately. You have to turn on autorun for that.

When you pressed the right button when you see a green line from your character to another character. Further presses of that button will switch the green line to connect you to other characters in your party, respectively. Then you start Autorun, your character will automatically run towards the character that your Green line is tethered to. They run right to their spot and stop. If the person you're following moves, your character will automatically begin running after them.

That'd turn it off if it was still on during those ten seconds. =x

I use auto run if I'm running between rooms and changing equipment, or running to a mission counter from a lobby. I don't use it often really, but it's a nice little feature to have.

[Noblewine]

Auto run makes things a bit easier and ya gotta love it for how you can dodge and heal alot easier.
