Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

Umm, actually, this would cause more frustration for PvP than PvE. I EXTREMELY doubt this is a balance decision for future content.

just about every MMO on the market uses this mechanic like it or not it is the most popular choice.

Looks like he also had some follow up posts to players concerns about this topic.

With the current server state, we noticed a lag when we cast spells. Are you sure there won’t be a bigger lag than 0.3 seconds when cancelling a spell via movement?

We are currently performing tests by changing the process from a script to hard-coding. Please note that if we are unable to achieve the results that we want, we will not implement the feature forcefully.

*When an enemy that is much higher level than you performs a long-ranged attack, you tend to KO prior to actually seeing the damage.
* When you use a WS, the attack motion, damage done, and logs are out of sync (HP drops > attack motion > logs)

I’m going to go a little off topic here, but this is something I eventually wanted to talk to the community about.
This issue actually isn’t caused by server lag, but due to how the client program was made. Therefore, it’s currently working by design.
It was designed so that any communication from the server will reflect the UI without any lag.

After I took over, I instructed the devs to change how this works and it was originally planned to go live in patch 1.17.
However, upon implementation, we received numerous negative feedback from the QA team such as “It’s harder to cure” and “It’s more stressful than what it was before.” It took me a while to make the final call, but at the end, we decided not to implement it. The process is currently masked and it can go live at any time.

The current plan was to implement this with 2.0, but if need be, it can be implemented sooner. Would you guys prefer us implementing this sooner in the current state?

The only thing about this is that if it is implemented in the current state, it might actually feel like there’s more lag than what there is currently.
This is due to the server implementing a wait time in order to make sure the damage, motion, and logs are all synchronized.
It may not have been a problem if it was implemented from the start, but since it’s not, the feature may cause more stress for the players.
It’d be great if we could receive feedback regarding this matter (it might be better if a new thread was created specifically for this discussion).

Please make a separate topic if you would like to discuss this topic so it can be easier for us to send your feedback to Yoshida.

How about you just save yourself the long explanation and just not implement it.

How about the devs do what they want sometimes and fk player fed back, cause they do is bitch and cry.

that's what they did when the game released a year ago. we see how well they can think for themselves.

I don't normally speak out against changes and I'm pretty capable to adapt to them, but this change is ridiculous. There are so many better ways to deal with it and the way they are right now is preposterous. They just decide to inject a incredibly cheap way of dealing before they come up with where they want it to be.

This is not pay to play material, sorry. They better start listening to this one.

I could care less if they implement it or not, but if they feel this change is needed then so be it. How is it not pay to play material when most mmo's cancel your spells when you move. To each his own i guess but at the end of the day even if you guys cry for it they have the final word.

Let me keep you up in pace. This change is a placeholder for another means to cancel your spell which will ultimately not be triggered by the movement of your character. So, why this and why now? Sounds cheap and unnecessary. Also, the "I'll explain later" doesn't help.

This is what I mean when I say, "Not pay to play material". That's completely fine if it is for you, but this is lack of common sense were combating mainly. Not exactly a spell interruption system.

Thats not what he said.

I reread the quote 2 times no where does it say this is a temp thing until they add an a spell cancel key.. maybe i just read wrong but ok.
