Combat still too slow. We need a shorter Global Cooldown!

[Nemmar]

Everyone has a different opinion and preferences. But this is Final Fantasy and it's not an action MMORPG, I would say the pace of the combat is just fine.

Think about what you just said. You are saying its ok for Final Fantasy to be bad, cause its final Fantasy. How did that work for you with FFXIV v1.0? Also, its definitly an action MMORPG. Theres no turns here, its all real time action.

I'm also disappointed at most people who replyed to this thread without even reading my first post. I adressed all the angles this would affect in the game. You think all these players are gonna stick around for long with this combat system beeing so slow? We dont need 2.5 seconds to make a decision. Cmon... i swear you want this game to fail when you say that. Heck i would be happy with 0.5 seconds shaven off the GCD. Yes it would require rebalancing for those that even bother reading.

Think about what you just said.

So a number of people disagree with you, that they prefer this style of gameplay to more action orientated ones... and your answer is that they're wrong and should agree with you?

Different style of gameplay appeal to different people. It's how the gameplay is implemented that counts, not how fast it is.
I agree with aristo, the combat pace is just fine for the style of game that FFXIV is.

A large number of people actually agree with me, but just dont care enough to bother. Just the forums here seems to be full of FF fans that prefer to turn a permissive blind eye.
That is perfectly fine. I wanted this game to be more, to challenge and surpass WoW. But if thats not what the hardcore FF fans want, then we will have to let history do the rest.

A large number of imaginary people in your head doesn't count.

Seriously, get over yourself, you're not the center of the world, the only thing insulting here is your sheer arrogance.

Right. You're too far beyond hope i see. This problem has been mentioned all across the internet forums. Did you know the game originally didnt have the abilities off the GCD? It was that same imaginary argument that took them off it. I'm one of the few on this forum trying to hopelessly give square the right feedback before its too late, but it seems that is not to happen.

Yea, because people are supposed to take random people on the internet at face value I also know a large number of people who just doesn't care enough to post who think your ideas are trash and should rot forever, it's true, because it's all over the internet.

You are clueless, no offense. But you are not trying to make this game better than it is, you are simply trying to make it more like WoW since you are such a fanboi
