Instant Interact
Apr 27th, 2020 at 10:09am
Print Post  
I noticed during the first hardcore server that there was a player able to instantly interact with levers, doors, etc. So while myself and the other smooth brain players were running up to levers/doors/interact-ables and waiting on a timer to actually interact with them, this guy would run up, do a half animation, but the door would instantly open, switches would instantly flip, etc.

I tried searching for tips on how to do this, but couldn't find any. The guy said he was just really good at DDO, and had gotten really fast with his keyboard. Is there some trick that I'm missing to this?

I would love to also be good at DDO...

My guess is that he's using the "other" tab - I don't know what the default hotkey is, I think I had mine set to shift-tab or maybe alt-tab. It cycles through non-mob objects/things you can interact with, such as NPCs, levers, doors, chests, barrels, etc. He might be selecting the lever/switch/whatever as he is running up to it and spamming the interact button ('u' by default, I think) as he approaches to minimize fuckaround time. Meanwhile, on your screen and due to lag, you see him run up and sort of half-interact with it.

this... the "bug" that allowed instant interact has been fixed.  I miss my insta-shrining and insta-recalling.

I  occasionally run with a group of high reaper zergers.. these guys had that animation cancel shit DOWN..

They were just fucking tearing thru dungeons, getting out, and then be half way to the next before I even got out. Fucking crazy..

I don't miss that shit, though I suppose if I had ever bothered to learn it I might feel different

There was (is?) a monk door open/chest open/shrine use/leave dungeon trick that was around for years. They said they fixed it, I'm sure someone somewhere has an unfix.

Crossbow swap during the Inquis heyday was used in the same manner. That one was definitely fixed, though there may have been another unfix and subsequent refix.

Hope this helps. lol

May I ask how the monk stance interrupt works with chests/doors? I know swapping monk stances at the same time as clicking recall results in an instant recall, but I couldn't get the same effect on chests and doors (tried a chest in a quest and the guild chests to no luck). Do I need to wait for part of the progress to fill?

Honestly i have no clue on chests and doors, i did not play monk in a while so i did not try it, i find myself zerging with a sorc most of the time and i dont want to invest levels in monk. I do know for sure that the insta recall works as a buddy of mine still uses it, ill have to ask him next time i see him online.

Personally like to wait for the recall.  Lets me consume tasty adult beverages in a more relaxed situation.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

It was used long before inquis. Many people I played with just did a quick swap as they got to shrines, doors etc.

I left nothing out, you failed abortion.  I made a complete true statement. You can add sniveling nothings to it all you’d like, but the statement stands without the garbage that you think is important because you’re retarded.
