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

all i said was this is what i think of. it is moving during casting. you tried to say it didn't happen in harry potter and they stayed still. i show you and now you change your excuse. i'll bet more people relate to how mages move in harry potter than the people that still think like dungeons and dragons where they stand still the entire time.

images of fantasy characters such as mages have evolved over the years and so have the games that use them. using something that is in a 10 year old game because that's how it was then isn't a good excuse for why it is done later on.

they thought the world was flat years ago as well, but people have long moved past that.

I didn't change anything:

lol DoW stopping to attack doesn't even make sense from a "realistic perspective."


Just think about what it would be like, to see what you're proposing, in "real life." Theoretically, it's an incantation or chant of some kind that allows players to use magic (at least, from a traditional standpoint). Have you ever read about or seen a wizard/witch/sorcerer, or w/e, running or moving around (physically, not on a "mount" of some type), while reciting their incantations? No, cuz it would look ridiculous lol

The same is true of an Archer...How many of them do you see running and shooting at the same time? -not often (and if so, it just looks a little too extraordinary for my taste). However, virtually every scene we've ever come across with gladiators, warriors, [dark] knights, etc. ALWAYS have them running about skewering enemies with their swords/spears, and so on.

It makes a lot of sense; and it would be much more viable system if they embraced a battle style similar to "that of which we do not speak."

Trouble with your memory? So, you found an example, yes. But, as I said, it LOOKED RIDICULOUS.


There's nothing archaic about our understanding of "the respiratory system." It's been around for ages too. And I don't think anyone, fantasy character or otherwise should capable of running for endless amounts of time without losing their breath -at least not if we plan to enjoy this game as a community.

Go SPRINT a mile and try and say the Pledge of Allegiance. You'll stutter, you'll pause, and as far as articulating your thoughts properly? -Forget it. Yes, I'm being a little ridiculous w/ the analogies, but the concept is sound. It just seems stupid to be able to run around for hours, yet still be capable of casting a spell that's 5 times more effective than the swing of someone's weapon. The problem isn't the system. It's the application.

Did you not play XI? It was HORRIBLY flawed in many ways...but battle was fantastic.
