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

[Gone7]

I don't like certain skills sharing GCD or not being able to pop certain abilities that have short durations but complement each other due to the animations. But for the most part the combat is pretty quick, a little too quick for my tastes. I can never type anything because I always have another skill to hit for my combos, or a stun to do.

there's been several occasions where i don't need to use anything between gcds and have typed a whole sentence. well, you all are slow, i guess they won't speed up the game to cater to you. really a shame they will hold back the game for dumb, slow people.

i guess if they put the gcd to 5 seconds and cut the amount of utility abilities in half that would make the game even more "strategic" lol

if you want to TYPE while you are "FIGHTING" then modern MMORPGs arent for you, try some turn based games or something.....

I think the MMO you are looking for is TERA...

More to the point, if they sped it up any more people's TP/MP just wouldn't be able to keep up and hate would be all over the place.

Whether i agree with the gcd being short or long it is quite obvious they would have to tweak the tp/mp regen and damage. Come on and think a little bit. Moronic random poster.

I don't even want to think about how boring PvP is going to be with this GCD.

Combat still too slow. I want to play WoW with better graphics, not FFXIV so fix it!

That is basically what this is about.

The best part is... you don't have to! Think about something else and be happy!

Combat is way too fast. Old FFXI had a great battle system. It had a great level of depth and complexity. It was slow but you had to keep on your toes and use the right stuff at the right time and work together with your teammates in order to complete your objectives. Otherwise you could die and fail. And there were actually consequences for that. This battle system makes for button spamming in the beginning and you don't learn your character until endgame.

these people are amazingly slow i think, if you need 2.5 seconds to decide on what to do in a video game you played for months... please... please, go play chess, checkers, monopoly, lots of other board games.

and btw, in FFXI, i fell asleep many MANY times while in a party, honestly....

the problem is, people like you said FFXIV 1.0 was a GREAT game , when we other beta testers said it was crap.

in the end, SE is a company that wants money, and as the game is doing right now (arr) it wont work, many have tried and failed miserably,
with the combat as slow as it is right now, only people like YOU would still play, which makes about .0001% of the gaming community,
PvP will fail, end game content will get boring very VERY quickly, even crafting is a joke right now.
there are alot of things wrong in this game, and GCD is on top of them.

and remember this... SE is like any other company , and they WILL do what WE want, because we are the majority of the gaming community, so there is nothing you can do. have fun with this slow game before its changed
