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

Hey OP, focus on a Skill speed build then. It will reduce your GCD, while other ppl will focus on a proper build and still out DPS you.

The system is a perfect pace when properly using skills and abilities.

I assure you that they are not concluding anything of what you are saying. Those are your conclusions.
A fast and skillful combat system is the pinnacle of MMO game design. A slow combat system bores the player and makes him stop playing. Its a very simple premise really. Not everyone is into grinding, you know.

Nobody reached that yet then, and the closest thing i can think is GW2 system, which is a massive failure.

Too slow? People are complaining just for the sake of complaining now? The Combat is fine. The 1.0 was slow, but 2.0 speed it up a lot. The way I see it is now the other way around. It was so fast that they take out the Skill Chain because skill now execute a lot faster.

You need to play your Class better and have the right skill Rotation. Rift, WoW is slower, go back there and play it if you don't believe me. Wow just seam faster because class have a gazillion skills to spam. Any faster we will turn Final Fantasy game into active combat, I for once agree with the producer saying this game is not to be real action combat and it doesn't work well with Final Fantasy.

I like it the way it is, so yeah don't speak for us.

To be honest, TERA is pretty close. For tab based combat both WoW and SWTOR are pretty decent. GW2 is good aswell, it just lacks variety and gets boring fast. But again, here is the logic that if its FF, its ok to be bad and to be behind the times.

You will never know what hit you. But revel in the fact that 2 months from now, when the servers are dieing, your lack of forward thinking brought about the situation.

I do wonder what you lot will do when FFXV comes out. No 2.5sec to make decisions there. Oh noes! Will this blind view come to change then? Somehow i think it will.

Dont bother, i wont be sticking around to be bored to death. I dont find a community like this worth saving.

I don't play any melee DPS jobs, but I find the GCD to be about right on mages. Sure I'm capable of doing 2x as much in the same time. My MP can't take it (except on BLM heh) and tanks sure aren't capable of it. The battle system, while not the most complex I've ever seen, is pretty engaging and sometimes even demanding running 50 content.

Level THM and leave your soul crystal off, put on your melded Vanya. Run something 8 man with your FC. Then off heal, sleep, nuke, take the lead in CC. Come back and tell me you were bored.

Yeah dude, you are totally saving the game by trying to convince people who like the combat system that it needs to change for the game to succeed. There are many people on these forums who have played all sorts of MMO's and plenty of them enjoy the combat system in this game. I have personally played 6 MMO's other than this one and have no problems with the combat of this game. I must be a FF fanboy cause I completed one FF game and played FF11 while enjoying this games combat system.

I could see the PvP possibly not being amazing in this game but for me I could care less about PvP in MMO's. PvE works great IMO.

I wanna go fast!

the global cooldown at 2.5 seconds is just too long.

There are no plans to adjust the rate of the GCD, but there are ways to speed up your skill and spell speeds through the use of food, different gear, and materia as well.

It's never too late.

I'm enjoying the current pace, as a CNJ/WHM and as a ACN. My fingers don't bleed trying to push a million buttons in the span of two seconds, I can effectively do things without needing macros to do things for me, and I'm always doing *something* at least in Brayflox and Haukke Manor.

It's not too fast to where I would feel I may need to utilize macros to be efficient, but it's not too slow to where I'm feeling bored and staring at the ceiling.
