    We don't think of little things that affect our gameplay in major ways, but there are definitely some.

    One of the things I do often is jump around a lot. Whenever I listen to music, I notice that I always start running around and jumping to the beat of the music that I listen to. The timing of the jump tends to have the perfect rhythm to a lot of stuff.

    Well I've been listening to a lot of music while farming at DreadFool's Labyrinth, and the map is pretty flat making my jumping rhythm very consistent. Takes like one second to jump up and down, and I like how I can match the jump with the rhythm of the music I listen to. It's just a minor thing, but I find it pretty interesting how the game's physics lines up perfectly with that. Would be a lot different it jumping took 1.8 seconds or some other variable of seconds.

    I think its kinda sad that the game mechanics is such that jumping becomes a highlight ... well maybe ... XD

    Broken record here ... but yeah ... we need more interesting mechanics

    Jumping is one of those things to you do as a habit, i mean the option for you to jump is there so why not jump even when you don't need to? Our eyes like motion and jumping is motion which gives your eyes to something to look at.

    We all do experience lag some times and that's to be expected.

    Pressing a button multiple times like spamming the Left Button and Right Button
    alternatively crashes the game.​

    I think the one thing that has affected me most is the targeting. When I need to PvE attack a mob, the auto-target would cause me to magnetically pull to the incorrect enemy. This becomes particularly troubling during instances, in which I would move into the "telegraph" of a boss attack or be in a crossfire by an enemy mob team-up. x. x

    Thus, the use of my mouse to manually target the enemy I want is such an annoyance for me now.

    You can use tab button to retarget mobs instead of the mouse. Not sure if you know about it.

    Not something I learned from when I started, nor was it something I found in game play instructions, but I will try it out.

    Something that did affect my game-play previously in a good way:

    • When I was farming rare chest items (when dungeon keys became free), I pulled my alt and put him right on top of the dungeon entrance. I partied my alt, and kept porting to him if I ran into a garbage room without chest spawn chance to speed things up.

    As I've gotten the rare dungeon items, I don't do this anymore. Maybe if they released new dungeons

    Nice, A good effect.

    I think one of these are room hopping to friends specially on a busy event.
    Some bosses just have very long respawn time.

    .... Wait... Now that i think about it, room hopping would not be an issue if the respawn time were long....

    LOL

    My hands being sweaty affected it like. The controllers randomly move automatically probably due to my phone's screen getting wet because of sweat (I know is nasty)

    My game window is now a different size because of one of the updates and I hate the size of the windowed screen. I don't like playing in full screen either since I like to listen to music and watch YouTube videos. That's the reason I don't go on AQ3D as often as I used to.

    What is your preference for window size?

    I do have a guide on how you can play AQ3D at any resolution, which a lot of people have told me was helpful. The only hassle is having to open Steam to set everything up, but you only have to do that like once. In the future, they might make the bounds on the window draggable and resizable.

    It would be nice if that was a thing already as an official setting to switch to.
