Why is this game so slow? (gcd)

The GCD in this game puts me to sleep, and makes everything way too easy.

Try levelling a WAR or MNK plenty of skill juggling with them, BLM and PLD's rotations and skill uses are pretty straightforward.

eh I got a 50 relic WHM as well. Skill juggling with a SLOW gcd still puts me to sleep.

I'm guessing you never played FFXI.

There's other MMOs more suited towards action style gameplay if that's what you're looking for.

Played FFXI, I was in a Dynamis Lord HNM LS that regularly claimed Nidhogg/Aspid/King Behemoth and farmed triggers for all the Sky Gods.

Had RDM/NIN/SAM/BLM/BRD/BST all at 75 when it was the cap, and had every other job above level 60. I was about 2 months away from Maats Cap and quit about 1/2 a year after they implemented Blue Mage and Corsair.

This isn't FFXI btw.

I'm surprised that someone who dedicated so much time to FFXI is complaining about the combat speed of this game.

i think was just hoping to gain some kind of "mmo street cred" with his "uber l337 list o'stuff". sorry but it was yawntastic attempt at epeen bravado at best. Get over yourself and move on if you feel the game is boring.

Lmao @ people defending the GCD. Sorry, but this is 2013, nearly '14.

It makes the entire game feel boring, and PvP is going to beyond terrible with this slow combat.

I've never seen pvp do anything for an mmo (when added after launch so as to appease the pvp minority) except ruin it.

If you honestly think someone is trying to label themselves as "leet" with this slow of gameplay, you must really suck.

I'll say it again. This isn't FFXI.

FFXI was:

S

L

O

W

This is, a little slow.

FFXI is how old? I started playing FFXI back in 2003 and quit in 2006, then immediately went to WoW. Yeah WoW, that one game with a 1.5 second gcd.
