Request: When you start casting, make it stop character movement and autoface the mob

[darkstarpoet1]

It's ironic that you are telling someone else to learn to play when you yourself rage about not being able to effectively adjust to recent casting changes.

when the changes are as glitchy as these are then, yes, i will surely complain and for good reason. this is not only bad design to completely leave out one group of players and state as much before it's implemented, but then bad programming that has caused so many glitches since it's been put in.

This would actaully be pretty good for controller people. Liked

@ OP tl;dr, but no thanks. This game is casual enough.

everyone in game I have talked with has adjusted to the changes and do fine, I do just fine as well, I also use a controller, it doesn't take that much brain power to realize you need to wait half a second before casting. If it is glitching out on you then you have not come to a complete stop, hardly anything in game warrants the need to shave half a second off a spell cast. And stating there are multiple glitches with the new casting system is hyperbole at its worse. The glitch isnt the system the error occurs between the keyboard and chair.

What? This has nothing to do with being casual. It's a quick fix for the lag since some people can't tell when their characters actually stop moving. NOTHING to do with casual.

when you are standing still and have to cast the same spell multiple times to go off i consider that a glitch. when the spell starts casting and doesn't have the animation to it i call it a glitch. when the charge bar does not show up with a casting animation i call that a glitch.

when a spell doesn't cast because i am moving that is user error.

See, but the point is that its wrong for you to have to adjust to a server error.
Lets break it down:

1- You can't cast while running. = OK
2- So you stop running, your character makes a stop in your screen and you hit cast.
3- You get an error message about being unable to cast while moving.

See, the thing is, you weren't moving anymore. A player shouldn't be concerned with the server problems. Rule says stop running before casting and so you did. Its outrageous to ask for players to wait a second due to latency.
A good game design would mask this. How? Easy, it used to mask it perfectly fine. Just make the face target command automatic.

It doesn't take away from being able to cancel spells, it doesn't really affect anything negatively. If you are hitting a spell button, its because you want that spell to start being casted that second. If you get hit by ifrit its because you chose a poor moment to start casting. This isn't like WS animation lock. It doesn't lock you for as long, just for that one second where the casting begins, and you can still cancel it by moving.

Having to deal yourself with server latency doesn't make a game more hardcore. It makes it poorly designed.

I have no problem with the new changes even with controller i just look @ the 2 blue bars when they stop glowing i can cast... Is this really that hard to do?

You sound like one of those "I WAS OUT OF THE PLUME" gaiz.

Instead of one of those "Why were you even in the plume" gaiz.
