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

[DeadRiser]

I've played with this feature since 2004ish in xi, I don't need to wait and see to know how it works.

Honestly how many "omg wait till the updates happen" comments have you posted recently? I'm seeing you popping up in a crapton of threads with similar responses.

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

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.)

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

You can cancel spells by clicking on the spell a second time before it casts.

Huh? Maybe it's because of delay and my pressing the same button again reaches the server too late, but that never even worked once.

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.

Could we also cancel spells by hitting esc/cancel button on gamepad. Thanks.

Ooh I like this idea. So simple too.

It didn't completely work fine, there was always latency b/c the distance to the servers. It always made it annoying when kitting and nuking b/c you had to give yourself a second or two to stand still after distancing yourself so that your nuke didn't get interrupted by lag.

I kinda like how mages can also run and heal in parties / dungeons / and such in this game when the DDs are constantly on the move. If you're doing something really active where you have to constantly be moving or dodging and your mages have to be stationary, you're going to run into problems.

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.

Offtopic:
If anyone, you appear to be the most agitated out of everyone.
Your 'everyone' is a page of topics on a forum; which you are considering 'everyone' is your own fallacy at best.
You mention you could care less what the Dev's do, yet you continue to post in response to threads that are part of a upcoming update? Instead of trying to attack every topic, why don't you try to contribute to them instead?

What else do you expect? A bunch of topics to appear when patch notes are released saying "Thank you SE"?

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.
