[dev1016] Not stopping to draw a weapon and go into "active mode"

[Reika]

Allow me to add 'Readying your shield' to that.

In relation, I want to be able to cast spells and use abilities without having to take out my weapon (FF11). Actually, I'm not even sure why they need to have an active/passive mode stances. In FF11 it was seamless.

Oh god yes PLEASE, I can't count how many times i went to cure someone soloing a too strong mob only for then to die because i needed to whip out my staff to cast cure. I'm not a fan of casting with a weapon in hand, I also miss the FFXI casting while disengaged.

I blame the old production team! since they never played ffxi wwwwwlolandstuff.

ummmm every game makes you stop to draw your weapon. >.> even ffxi and WoW. Name 1 rpg that doesn't make you stop a sec then I'll eat my worlds And I need a vid link of it.

I understand that people can copy what one game does whether popular or not with what works or doesn't work, but eventually something has to change to become a true next gen game. Who cares if every other MMO has you stop when you draw or put away your weapon if this game makes it possible to do this just by decreasing or increasing character movement speed and remove the hassle of stopping?

I would really like to hear a good explanation as to how stopping to draw or put away your weapon has helped you or anyone else in or out of game.

I would love to see this but it's been mentioned time and time again. This topic was beat to death in the beta phases. I'm beginning to wonder where all that "invaluable" feedback went...

New team, new hope!

I think your idea is good, but your thread title is false

If you want that slight advantage, rank up lancer and earn the guild marks for fleet of foot.

Do we play the same game? What does fleet of foot have to do with stopping when you unsheathe your weapon or your guard drops?
