I am confused..Auto attack?

[Razor]

yes, lets compare a game thats been out almost a decade to a game barely a year old.....great comparison there

Lets also compare a game that has had auto attack for less than 12 hours to a game that has had almost a decade of "How can I make my job have the fastest possible attack speed". XIV has no multi-hit weapons, attack speed+ buffs (Speed Surge counts I suppose, only because SE was like "Uh, what do we do with this skill now?"), or haste gear. You cannot compare XIV's auto attack to a fully buffed/geared NIN or WHM from XI who have most likely spent more time getting to that stage than XIV has even been out for.

yes, let's compare two games made by the same company to see if they have the ability to apply anything they learned from said games, or not.

Oh, the answer is not.

Should I compare it to Rift, instead? A noob game designer vs a behemoth like SE, and the game is younger than XIV and has paying customers.

But nothing is wrong with XIV, right?

Shit, even shitty games like Duke Nukem Forever had paying customers.

And TERA bombed in Asia.

No, it probably took them about 2-3 months, max. Because XI actually has content, the devs don't need to add as many pointless time sinks. I don't even play hardcore at all and I got to 90 with two subs in 4 months.

Yeah, I know what you're going to say, easymode. Cause grinding exp is so hard.

I thought this was about auto-attack and not how fast you get to grind post-Abyssea, or what MMOs are coming out in Asia that you think will be more successful than FFXIV.

Dude said it probably took them more time than this game has been out to gear - I was simply pointing out that he was wrong.

And this game doesn't have paying customers, ergo, it is at least as crappy as the aforementioned game, if not more so.

I bolded the parts of that post that confused me greatly. But like SuzakuCMX said, this topic is about Auto Attack, not XI so I will refrain from taking the thread even farther off topic

Why did they put this in again? The majority of the community really wanted this? I am curious not trying to spur anything I am really asking because I am confused. I thought the fighting was awesome and it made it a faster pace now it's just slow. (I Played FFXI for 5 years)

You wasn't here in the last 2 month?

I find myslef waiting for tp/cooldowns more. I didn't really care for the new pace. I was never in favor of auto attack but it is what the people wanted.

Who wants to press 1 over and over. like 20-40 times per fight.
