Fundamental Game Play Issues

[cidbahamut]

JA-lock is a huge frustration. I really shouldn't have to build in gearswaps just to blink my character when I use JAs. I enjoy all the animations that came with subbing Scholar, but I absolutely hated getting locked in place. It's the kind of thing that can get you killed, so now I just blink every time I use those JAs and I don't get to see what they look like anymore. This is poor design and fixing it should be pretty high on the to do list.

I'm probably going to have to do the same thing for Corsair and I'm not looking forward to that since the animations tell me what I've rolled well before it shows up in my chat log.

Never experienced any of these things.

I think this is, without a doubt, the dumbest or most oblivious post ever made on these forums.

Wonderful post by Byrth, as usual

Have Absorb-Stat Spells stack with Cruor Buffs already.

Not that they get used anymore except in the backline when weakened, but jesus, a year having neglected this is worrysome.

I think this is a larger gameplay mechanic than something specific to asborb spells. For example, TP moves that typically have an HP Down/max HP down type effect don't proc in abyssea

I have experienced ALL of these things. I have even mentioned it in my own threads.
I call it the "sigh-factor" ^_-

I agree with the OP. I think that these issues should be looked into.

BUMP 4 GREAT JUSTICE

know wut i hate when u have auto target on and instead of it auto selecting the closest target in a group of mobs i swear it will pick the one furthest away, seconds tend to count in situations like that.

Auto-Target does not work for me if any of the mobs are out of view. I gotta position myself such that my next target is ahead of me.

Fortunatly, SE has coded such that most people will Auto-Target the same mob.

Wow, I completely forgot about that. The auto-targeting in these cases is extremely retarded. Ten mobs right in front of you and it is bound to pick the one far out of range. That should really be looked into.

[Rearden]

At least its consistent and will pick the same mob for everyone granted they are looking at it

Edit: but this could be updated to where "x" player is set as the assist and no matter what the game autotargets that players monster regardless of when he changes target, etc.
