there is a cancel button on a controller. for me it is the triangle button to cancel menu's. with a controller it is quite easy to cancel a spell. i have only have to hit x a second time to cancel it now so it's not like it's hard to begin with........Quote:

12-13-2011, 02:22 AMJennestiaIf you did this as WHM, SCH, BRD or BLM it's because of your -spell interruption (which was higher than RDM and BLU), which was mostly to prevent being interrupted by mobs, not due to poor design. FFXIV lacks any type of skillset, so if anything it would work a lot better in XIV than it did in XI given nothing to counter it -- But the mechanic itself worked just fine in XI.Quote:

They just have to make a button that cancels any spell.

12-13-2011, 02:23 AMdarkstarpoet1no, i wasn't trying to take a jab at you. all i was doing was using your aggressive mentality. i was just pointing out it is easy to overlook something when you have a full page of notes. i know i have done the same thing myself. i never claimed to be perfect.Quote:

12-13-2011, 02:33 AMdarkstarpoet1it wasn't. the children complained so instead of hitting 1 button to cancel the spell they completely redo the was casting in general worked. the old way was a single button press if you needed to change from aoe on to off, but people complained. you also only had to hit the spell a second time to cancel it, but people were lazy and complained. the minority of the forums got their way and now we have baby mage mode.Quote:

they should make it so if you move the spell potency is lowered. but if you stand still to concentrate, your spell have greater effect.
no?.......fine.. -
12-13-2011, 02:37 AMJinrya-GekiThe change isn't worst thing they can do, but this is still bad, in terms of gameplay. Moving and casting is much more faster pace than sitting there and casting. Walking, thinking, and talking (should be) second nature to us.Quote:

Having to sit there the entire to cast a spell is like I am new to the world of magic, making me a mage. I am not not a level 1 mage. I am a god damn Level 50 Red Wizard. I should be able to walk, concentrate, cast all while use an ether as mouthwash!
Atleast if there was a level 40+ trait that allows me to move while casting I'd be happy, cause then I can equip it and move and cast. While all you lazy people can sit there like jerks and be mages. -
12-13-2011, 02:37 AMDeadRiserI'm already late for work so I'll just say this: I'm sorry lol I shall return to the forums tomorrow!Quote:
