What happened to the "Readying Skill" mechanic?

I liked the change. Queued actions were pretty bad for retaliation action purposes. Still, the game latency regarding actions is making things very complicated right now.

It was one of the points i asked in a battle feedback long time ago (before stamina removal)...but, just like everything involving battle here, it was poorly implemented and added at the wrong period. The original idea involved 2 possibilities...

a) removal of action queue
b) updating action queue with the newest input, canceling oldest one.

In both cases it was to prevent action lock caused due stamina (also asked that, with queue removal that actions couldn't be used, getting darkened, if there were no stamina for it).

But you can always follow the current FFXIV decision logic: "In FFXI was like this". You couldn't queue actions in FFXI.

I wish they would use the FFXI combat system. This one however does not work for me, it infuriates me and i want to have fun playing not get frustrated.

For me this was the last straw, i gave it another chance with 1.19 but screwing up the most essential part of the game is a slap in the face.

Well, i agree with you. If they wanted FFXI battle system this much they should've just brought it as a whole. It's just pathetic how grotesque this FFXI clone is becoming...it's just like those first dolly clones that born with 2 heads or no legs...

You know..i'd quit this game right now and start over in the origina FFXI if it was to use the original battle system. I never liked FFXI much, but never had any issues playing it either...and here, ALL issues i have are battle system-related...

AA = battle system
Messing classes = battle system
Messing crafts = battle system (it is...because it's all refered to battle system direct of indirectly)
Making players waste 1 year-worth of items = battle system
Screwing with the casual/ solo friendly, stressfree proposal = battle system

I just wish the original FFXIV had a second chance as a spin-off game...i'd quit this FFXI-2 in a heartbeat and move to it...no multiple rank 50 classes, no million gils, no e-peen gear and no bikini or /pose is worth the frustration this dev team is causing to me.

There's already almost 2 weeks my ulcer (which i must thank to FFXI's CoP) is hurting like if i had a rat gnawing my stomach from inside. I really don't know for how long i can endure this continued misfortune that is this battle system...
