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

[Phe]

Totally stupid and pointless to have it changed right now.

omg face it!
mages would be overpowered if they could move while casting!
noone would play melee jobs!

wait...
they did play those gimp melee jobs over the last year. i'm confused.

(and don't forget we need 7 months to get used to the new system.)

Yes, but to deem them overpowered you need to be able to measure them against melee classes in PvP which we don't have yet and I bet won't have before 2.0. So?

No reason to not leave things as they were while we run on the faulty engine to avoid frustrating us all the time and simply implement the spellcasting changes together with PvP after 2.0 hits.

Unless you somehow consider casting-while-running makes Mages overpowered right now for our current PvE only content? I simply do not see that.

Uh really no. I won't be happy ONCE they remove the delay after 5 months because come 2.0 with the new engine we wouldn't even have to deal with that shit in the first place. And people are whining, and understandably so, right now exactly because this derp engine has us deal with that lag and the spellcasting changes while we don't even HAVE to.

Also, why on earth would we need 4 months time to adapt to a gameplay change... One play session is enough for that really.

Point is simple. No PvP and server that can handle changes properly yet, no need for spellcasting changes yet. It only frustrates people at the moment and achieves absolutely nothing.

Edit: Forgot to mention another derpthing. Hitting the spellbutton a second time still cancels the spell although we can cancel it with movement now. Add this annoyance to the extra time you need to wait doing nothing if you get a cast "error" and you happen to hit the spell button a second or third time thinking your button press didn't register with the server and...yea more frustration.

I completely agree with you about hitting the button again, they should have removed that actually I think if they removed that it would alleviate some of the issues people are having.

I disagree that people wouldn't be pissed if this waited for 2.0 and they had to learn to stand still to cast while some dragoon is beating on their ass. To think otherwise would make me assume you haven't spent a lot of time on these forums. And the reason for the timing was SE wanting to finish up combat revisions.

Would have to adapt for sure, but it would be much better to adapt with a proper gameplay environment in place and most importantly it would make sense because there would be an actual need for it. Anyways, gonna just hope 2.0 actually delivers, or else^^

I couldn't even begin to imagine the sheer amount of QQ this suggestion would cause come release of 2.0 at least now you will be nice and ready for it and even more happy if they get rid of the delay. If they waited until the release of PvP to add a major change to play style for all mages people would explode.
