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

[Phe]

Game released with spell casting while moving... I thought it was "alien" to me

Of course i respect your opinion but that's basically the only Pro spellcasting interruption thing you said in your post.
i don't care if people can deal with the current mechanics (i can deal with it too if i have to).

my simple question is - what did the change actually improve?
how did it make the game better?

About the 0.3s, you're quoting only half the sentence. He accurately said:

This can take up to 0.3 seconds for transferring packets, plus the response time.

If you respect my opinion, why are you questioning it? My opinion was for Yoshida and the Dev Team(s). Clearly from all your posts in this thread there is nothing that will change you perspective on casting spells while moving - which is fine, that's why it's called your "opinion". Neither I, nor yourself, have any factual claim, any objective, empirical information that could be used to make an actual intellectual argument for or against casting while moving. Though we could claim to have an argument by listing out premises that were based purely on situational circumstances,we would be wrong to list those as logical premises because in the world of software development, and specific to creating the world of an online video game, circumstantial situations can be created/altered/removed/tweaked/etc. as needed - which would ultimately render any argument using any such as premises as simply being invalid.

TL;DR (I guess that's for the people who don't like reading or w/e) - your opinion is yours, and mine is mine. They made changes to the game and I like it; which is why I continue to play it. It's really that simple.

Okay i think we've got a consensus here.
back to the old system until we get the new 2.0 servers.
Devs, are you reading?

Maintenance this week please.

This please. Give us back the old system...it worked fine...

Hope you know this will never happen. And just you didn't realized, we got this system right now so we can get used to it before 2.0. We'll still get this system at that time, so instead of cry because you suck learn anew to cast. You'll do it in every case.

It definitely didn't work fine. Just because it was easy doesn't mean it was fine. -_-

That's what they said when we wanted an alternative method of merging servers.

How are people having such a big problem with this? On white mage, I've never had my tank run out of health because I was running and couldn't cast or he was running out of my casting range. It's like 5 days after patch, you haven't gotten totally used to it yet and if you play all the time, well you suck >.>

I love this change. It's not as bad as everyone is making it out to be and save it for 2.0 because of lag is dumb excuse. The lag isn't that bad. That's why they added the movement thing by your tp bar. If the cast still goes off, that means you stood there for that long for he spell to go off. You've been having THAT since the game released.

Agreed. We need more white mages like this.
