The problem with "Instant OFF GCD" abilities makes combat feel less rewarding.

[Jinko]

Where in the world are you people getting that these abilities are supposed to be instant!? Stop thinking about wow...put it out of your minds please this is not an instant gratification combat system it takes work and strategy just like playing a real final fantasy game this is not a button mash fest, time your attacks, I have never experienced an issue with this so long as I planned ahead and acted accordingly This is the first game I have ever had to actually try and read incoming attacks to know what I needed to activate for those weapon skills that so not have an aoe affect that hurt.

ROFL, you realise that most FF games you can win most fights by spamming attack attack attack ... right ?

Also lets stop comparing an MMO to a single player game because they function completely different.

...And what right is it of ours to demand that they change something in the game because we cant be asked to adjust to the level of strategy they had in mind for us using with this system. If they say its working as intended then it most likely is working as intended they tried hard to make a game that was awesome and they did and now people are giving them crap for the minor stuff that they cant adjust to because of the instant gratification mindset, these abilities are not in any way meant to be instant, instant cast does not mean instant animation, they are not reactionary skills. This game is more about planning than reaction.

And you don't think the "working as intended" is their lazy way of saying we don't want to or have no intention of fixing that, sorry did you even play FF11, do you have any experience with SE prior to this game ?

If you are happy to believe what they say then good for you, I however do not.

If they did intend for us to have to deal with clunky combat and server latency/lag issues, AoE's that hit even when you are clearly out of the visual cues on screen then their game is going to fail just like SWTOR did.


Everyone goes on about how whiny people are, but ask yourself do people complain when they have nothing to complain about .. you may answer yes to this just to be awkward but I can assure the majority of people have a valid reason for complaining.
