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

[ArtEmisPalmecia]

Actually, a lot of changes are made with long term in mind, and we don't know what else is planned because every time they make a change it's specifically for the purpose of another mechanic change they're going to implement.

It worked fine in FFXI unless you somehow had a PC that couldn't run the game or your system was wearing out to the point you didn't realize you moved. (Trust me, there were almost no complaints about how to interrupt spells in XI, the main complaint was mobs being able to interrupt you with a petty hit at lower levels.)

FFXI - Did not have a reliable way to provide feedback to the Devs until recently. Most players have learn to adapt to the system that has been in place for years as the players are used to 'working with' the current game. This is a contributing reason why you don't see this request on the FFXI forums.

Oh here we go again... blah blah blah.

No I want this... no I want that. BLAH BLAH BLAH

Please stop, you have a whole 2 months before this is implemented, then you will see what they have in mind with it and what will be tied to that other than spell cancellation. Geez people...

No one is saying it is. However, this is a forum designed to discuss what the developers are planning to implement. If we took everything up the butt without contestation, they would never get feedback from us. 2 months before implementation is the time to talk about a feature that is likeable/unlikeable, not the day before the patch.

Because this is why they didn't release the patch notes early. Because everyone freaks out and they haven't even played the patch themselves. I'm sick of the OMG WTF SLJKFSLJF threads that don't need to be happening.

I could care less what they do, as long as I can still be a mage and cast spells I'm happy. They probably have something planned with this in mind, so why not wait?

NO LETS POST MOAR THREADSSSS

Then don't read or post in them. Simple as that.

Also CrystalWeapon, half the threads beingn posted are people misreading or not reading at all what was in the patch notes. They see something, don't continue reading, and post another thread. There are at least 2-3 already.

Understandable, there is an aweful lot of complaining and stupidity that goes up every 2 seconds on these forums, but it's kind of hard to misinterpret something as plain as moving will interupt casting. You don't need to see it to know it'll be bad.

this is to deal with everyone complaining about animation locks.

Great... i thought we were trying to move away from FFXI?

It's rather sad I can't do a normal human action of MULTITASKING. Walk, chew gum, and think.

I liked how I could still run and cast it was god damn useful, especially against Ifrit.

If this was based on the players who complained about casting a spell, great job, now you really are a mage, THE most basic of magic users. You can't concentrate on walking and casting a spell, you are a baby who couldn't handle how to cancel a spell when you needed to, and now I have to suffer for it.

If this based on the developer's decision... WHY!? Why was this decision made, this makes combat slower for me and more dull. Are you trying to make DoM as undesirable to play as possible, cause you are making that pretty damn well.

It was? I'm pretty sure everytime I used Cure back in the day and an eruption was under me, I would still get hit by it lol.

But other than that, the lag kind of cancels out running and casting. For the most part, mages are stationary when they are casting. I rarely walk around, and the only time I do is when someone is out of reach from me or bad placement of mobs (like the backside of a raptor).

We wil see.

Sometimes I may be in the slight range of Lava Plume and I could move just a step to get out of it.

The heal goes off and tank lives.

Now it will be I am one step in the range, move and the heal is cancelled, and now the tank dies. 1 second is all it takes.

Well if he is that low on health to begin with, that's your fault.

by the time he is casting plumes and it goes off, you do have a smallish window of opportunity to cast another cure because he doesn't use hellfire or incenerate right after.

Just my two gil...
