It took me all of 1 day to get used to the new casting specs... it makes things more challenging, more fun. Stop asking to be spoonfed everything...

03-14-2012, 03:52 PMdarkstarpoet1there's a major difference between challenge and annoyance. the changes with the lag issues and the spells glitching out are an annoyance and not challenging.Quote:

03-14-2012, 04:03 PMAnswaEh. Most of my LSmates haven't reported any such problems. We've all gotten used to it and we've already beat all the old content with just jobs even when just expecting to test it out and wipe. I seriously don't see the issue.Quote:

I've been playing mostly whm blm or pld since the update and I don't think there's anything wrong with the changes to spellcasting even with the lag issues. It makes sense that for now you will sometimes miss a spell, you just need a few more days to get used to it.

I agree with darkpoet's statements. I'm having very often lag/glitch with spellcasting... :/

Fix the lag...
I dont mind the interuption when moving or getting knocked back. Though I think making an increased chance to interrupt a spell when hit while/after moving would be a more logical way to handle this rather than 100% of the time. You could even incorporate equipment and elemental factors that increases/reduces your chance for interruption adding a whole new facet and challenge to the game. (stuff to think about for 2.0 maybe?) -
03-14-2012, 04:39 PMCichyYes, running with your party through stuff and not being able to cure them is fun. Not being able to buff them is fun. Stoping and realizing your spell isnt going off after watching it cast is fun. You sir mistake retarded mechanic with challenging.Quote:
