AOE Toggle Needs to GO

[zaviermhigo]

If you have UI lag, that might be on your end. I seriously have no UI lag in this game, and I just upgraded my GPU to a Geforce GT 440, since then literally no UI lag at all. Only lag I've gotten is inside of towns actually and it has been more like not receiving packets for a second. I really don't want something drastic to be changed about a battle system when there are things people can do to fix lag on their end. Especially since they said they're going to make users low end computers be able to run this game better, why couldn't wait to bitch? You wait till then, see if "they" fixed it, and then you see if you can fix it, if not then bitch. But seriously wait.

As usual.. Let's wait and see...

i smell an official poll coming when it comes time to implement this....

Maybe... But maybe they will just do it.

well everyone feels lag in a different way. Slow UI might be more accurate to describe it. THE UI is slow and not very responsive in some parts, no matter what hardware you have. Some don't call it lag, some do, and some just don't care as much as others, but its definitely there. I have it on almost all menus, trading, and retainer interactions especially, and sometimes while fighting as well.

Its a known issue and im playing on an I-7 30% overclocked 580 and ssd... so its hardly a hardware issue.

Just bring back fire fira firaga etc. Seriously, it's the best system.

Upgrading is not an option, I spent my bugget and more to be able to play this game in the first place : (
The data compression SE did back feb/march sorted out all my general lag, the only lag issue i suffer with now is Broken Water at leve time. There is no way I am the only person to experiance this! And they are not removing the AOE toggle because of lag esp as i'm the only one in this whole post to have mentioned reducing the steps to cast spells will help in laggy situations!!

you really just have to play around with game settings if youre getting UI lag in a quiet area. The UI lag you get when in broken water with 300 people around is just going to be there however, since many of the windows like equipment window and crafting window are depend on your latency going from window to window.

Oh..... and I still say noes to the removal of AOE toggle of single spells. But, instead of discovering other options they are just going with the general 'Remove this' Consensus....

Next up, Return of Job/Subjob, Removal of classes, return of job-changing moogles, removal of battle regimen and return of skill chain/magic burst, reduction of max tp from 3000 to 300, all ws's take all your tp, 6 tp per hit from 1h weapons and 12tp per hit from 2 handed weapons, EXTREMELY slow weapon speeds, 'Praying' to recover MP.....

well this confirms they are killing the mage has different ranges thing. One of the major points of thaum was aoe cone, and conjurer aoe circle. this also means the skills which were used to alter the ranges will be gone. Seems like whatever playstyle differences con and thaum had will be abandoned, and they will only differ based on job skills.

Doesnt bode well for DoW classes as well, if they want to take the mechanics of playstyle out of class selection. not to say i thought DoM had really entertaining playstyle mechanics, but it looks like they will have even less, or no real playstyle mechanic in the future.

I really would like to see what their plan is for battle now.... its.... starting to look..... less.....

Right, which basically means that if you don't want to hit all of the coblyns that are surrounding you, you're going to have to equip Aero I, and Aero II, because Aero II will be AoE, while Aero I isn't. It's the same problem as making Aeroga II ala XI's system. All I want is one version of the spell on my bar. I'm a CON, I get spells of every element, and I don't want my bar gummed up with two spells of the same element in varying strengths just so that I don't aggro every mob in my general vicinity.

If they just made every spell AoE then CON would easily be the most frustrating experience ever, for everyone.

Intresting how you know so much about the desgin of the AOE toggle. Far as im concerned your speculating about what will happen, and you have 0 evidence to support your statement. This is where this shit starts, and it really needs to end. Stop speculating and thinking you know whats going on behind closed doors.

If you had read the post that this was in response to, you'd see that I was responding to her hypothetical situation.

We DON'T know what the devs are thinking, but what we do know is that they're changing a system that works perfectly fine, [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]
