Everyone is all aglow or up in arms over the new auto-attack.....
But I think the change to passive and active mode is a HUGE step in the right direction and should go a long way to improving the flow of battle... and the game....
I don't know what will become of Fleet of Foot.....
But I was excited about this change....
Passive>Active on the fly

Honestly, I think taking off the Skill Information on the Action Bar is the best thing.

so they realize how to make a game
just want to ask why don't do it that way from the beginning? -
06-15-2011, 11:45 AMRydinYea, thats true... but thats like a Senior in High School getting an A for the first time....Quote:

Sure hindsight is 20/20... and criticism is easy...
But being part of the solution... how much is that worth? -

Now he's desperately trying to graduate, and make a decent life as an adult.Quote:

now maybe we won't lose those precious few seconds off Quick Stride. I hate having to switch to a gathering class to get Quick. If Quick Stride will give me the full 30 seconds, I'll try and remember to always include that in my action bar.
Oh and I can't wait to have the ability to save my action bar instead of having to macro in eactions! -

It's actually an incredibly small step.
...and it probably should've been reviewed before they OFFICIALLY RELEASED the game. -

Just because you can fluidly switch between passive and active doesn't mean that Fleet of Foot won't have an effect. Fleet of Foot effects movement speed with you weapon out. In essence, if you don't have Fleet of Foot, you'll still run slow with your weapon out, you just won't have to worry about that initial stop of pulling out your weapon.

It's better, I don't like the fact the character slid along with no animation, but I guess they will add that eventually.

06-16-2011, 11:30 AMKamYea, I also noticed the out-of-place reverse-moonwalk :/Quote:

06-16-2011, 11:51 AMKowenI think this will be addressed in 1.19's "motion fine-tuning".Quote:

This is one of the things I'm most excited about. Being a caster, pulling out my weapon isn't really part of the excitement of the battle experience for me. Stopping to make an epic pose when taking up my wand is really just silly. Moreso, being a healer, it's important I can stay on my tank's heels and cure him/her quickly when they run into battle (and let's face it, you tanks always do, LOL). Removing the stop-animation will make things feel much smoother.
Great big thumbs up! -

Fleet of Foot is for fleeing b*tches =D

1.18 for functionality, so will look weird, 1.19 supposed to fix it, so we'll see how weird it looks.
I'm personally looking foward more to the new WS animations though. -
06-17-2011, 01:24 AMDubontand here you go with your unintelligent posts. How many times did it take you to learn how to ride a bike? How many times did you have to work a math problem before you got the right answer? Why aren't you perfect? Also, this is a different dev team. They couldn't do this "from the beginning" because they weren't here in the beginning.Quote:

I just hope this includes not stopping for raising and lowering shields. At least with fleet of foot, I can just run in active mode normally full time while shield drop/stop just looks and feels stupid.

06-17-2011, 05:52 PMDreadnoughti actually agree with that, i really hope things get better cuz things are going well so far..... just riiiiiiiilly slow.Quote:
