We interrupt your current server woes to talk about casting

aka. "if you want to continue playing using a controller then you will be forced to use an illegal 3rd party program to map a key and push it anytime you move"

Or make a macro /facetarget....... Zing...

a controller to open a macro after each time you move would get too annoying to be able to use

It is not as bad as it sounds. We all know this is the best they could come up with before using the 2.0 client.

Chill.

no the best they could have done is not change things until they had a better system in place. he already states that he understands the delay will cause issues for the controller user so why put in anything that actually makes the game worse?

U dont really move often when u fights these days, do you? Most mages tries their best to stand still to regenerate mp. Not trying to justify these system bc im on edge as well. But it isnt half as bad as you guys made it sound.

Here is my thing....

If there is a button that tells the server that I am no longer moving....
Why isn't that same message sent to the server when I stop moving the analog stick?
Why is pressing "Facetarget" a faster way to stop than to just not move or press any buttons?

If there is a LAG FREE way to tell the server I am no longer moving... then why isn't it there when I actually STOP MOVING

I swear to God you didn't just tell me to make a macro TO STOP MOVING????

If that doesn't sound like the most unintuitive game design EVER

you don't during tank and spank fights and fights like ifrit, but doing dungeons like darkhold and the strongholds you do.

All features are tested before implementing so that gameplay is not noticeably affected. Has Yoshida ever introduced a feature that affects gameplay negatively and then needed to remove it completely? to the best of my memory, No.

if it wouldn't have effected the gameplay of controller users negatively he would not have singled them out stating that it would have a delay, but it would be ok if you didn't care about casting spells when you actually needed to.

What? really?
this game has BY FAR the worst QA EVER

EVERYTHING in this game is broken when its first implemented.... wow.... that can't be your argument

"If Yoshi is adding it then it must not affect gameplay that much"

stop... really.. just stop
