[dev1149] Please bring back the queuing of actions!

[Answa]

I don't know how you got that I don't want to be paying attention or whatever.

You really don't?

If I'm not keeping an eye on my character or I miss the chat log I can miss the fact that I'm not casting.

[Estellios]

Yeah it's called watching HP bars/watching the chat log/watching for anything else man. You should know how this game likes to screw up sometimes ><

[Dreamer]

O.o So you want to not even have to pay attention to what you're doing?

I want to pay attention to the battle instead of keeping my eyes glued to to the combat log/action bars.

agreed. this isn't an old school text-based, turn-based rpg

[Answa]

I want to pay attention to the battle instead of keeping my eyes glued to to the combat log/action bars.

I never look at either of those. I have the party HP bar close to my action bar/center of the screen when I heal, so I can see the action+heal at the same time. Half the time I don't even notice the action bar, I just use macros/numbers. You just get used to the timing.

It's called getting used to the rhythm of battle and learning how to play your class. If you cast stoneskin before you're supposed to... even after having played the class for weeks... you're silly.

Getting tired of the kiddie trail? You want to take your motorbike onto a tougher trail?
Why not just break the bike, and get USED to it on the kiddie trail!
Rather than ask for a decent bike, and get a tougher trail...

I'm long past used to it. And so are many others.

Stop trying to defend the broken UI.

Too many MMOs require you staring at the UI bars/log, instead of the actual scenario playing out in front of you.

I don't remember having to do this for games Like Zelda and the such.
The original Zelda was a rather difficult game, mainly do to bad controls/animation lock, and I got over them... but even in THAT game, I didn't have to put up with sh*tty UI that I had to stare at over the game.

[syntaxlies]

i thought they took it out because of animation overlaps. i like queuing my actions

[AeonMysterio]

Hey there,

Never had to complain about queue/non queue actions, could deal and adapt with any easily, and got no complain about Ifrit's fight too and anticipating shits due to some weird lag/UI whatever (and i'm in France, so 300ms+ there) ...

BUT !!!

for a few days, i donno wtf has changed (nothing on my config and the way I fight), but i got like 8-10 seconds (can be more than 10 seconds !!) when smashing a button to launch an action, and some people seems to have same problem recently appearing.

For example, any action is ready in my action bar, no cooldown (or cooldwon ok for more than 10 seconds at least), i smash the button to launch it, and for 10+ seconds, log says i cant use it ... i can deal with 1-3 seconds latency before it launches and deal with that, but 10 seconds is just INSANE !

Buddy told me when he reboots things better for him and then the lag comes back if he stays connected .... but thats clearly not a way to solve that ... and it does not solve to me (just rebooted, started a leve with no cooldown, first action , log says 7x i cant use a simple slash ..)

what the hell ?!?

Where in my post was I defending why it was "more or less fun"? I was explaining to you why the Evasion system needs to return.

One liner responses to walls of text are awesome!

You should look at what you were responding to next time.

[Atoli]

That never worked for me anyway, I was just standing there for several minutes, staring at the mob while others hit it like crazy.
So I just used my skills normally, no different from how I do it now.

But since it's optional to use it, I don't mind if they bring it back so those who liked it can use it again.
