[dev1032] A Better Way to Cancel Spells Please

[Steggun]

I apologize if this has been answered before.

I would like to know if there are any plans to remove the ability to cast spells while moving. In my opinion spells should be casted while standing still and then be cancelled if you attempt to move while casting. Cancelling spells by moving would decrease the amount of time it takes to cancel a spell, and make it much more intuitive.

The current system in place for canceling spells is horrible, and I see no reason for it to stay in the game.

While some spells I would like to see it so you have to stay still to cast something big, and have other players protect the mage to complete the spell some magics I think are OK to be casted while running... Check out all the new anime stuff (even old ones) looks cooler when mages/magic users running and blasting each other.

But from your title, I do agree there should be easier way to cancel spells, actions... unless that's already being worked on for 1.18 and 1.19 changes. Couldn't cancel some actions when I pressed it by mistake and pushing again to cancel lol.

I wish I could just press 'v' or some other customizable hotkey to cancel spells anytime I want.

Having to activate the spell again in the middle of casting to cancel it is bad design. This also makes cancelling spells that are activated via macros really hard as well.

I'd like to see a cancel cast/skill key, but keep spells as castable while moving.

That would definitely work for me.

Exactly =)

+1 from me.

It is tough to KNOW if you have cancelled or not because the animation plays out either way.

And you can never be sure if you just cancelled it or if you queued it up again.

You can press the BR key to stop spells if im not mistaken

Esc key should immediately cancel spellcasting, IMO.

[Ashthra]

Wait, you can cancel spells??

I'd just assumed, after spamming ESC, my cancel button, and being locked into place while casting meant that I HAD to keep casting no matter what. You learn something new everyday.

I'm still lost as to how to cancel spells. I just spam escape, and press other actions. It's actually quite frustrating.. then sometimes my magic cancels itself by some unknown mechanism.

It's very unintuitive and confusing, I've basically given up trying to cancel casting spells, and instead just do it very carefully. Which is kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

ESCAPE = CANCEL SPELL

is how simple this should be.
