Eureka and combat thoughts

[MoroMurasaki]

Combat in the game is very fast paced. Fight in eureka or any boss battle and see for yourself. How many street fighter combos need to be made to finish a battle? To me its unnecessary.

Listen, all in saying is that combat can feel just as epic and satisfying... Maybe even more, if combat was slower. Combos can actually mean something rather than the spam fest it is now.

What classes are you actually playing?

I would agree that some dps classes have burst windows that are quite fast (at least compared to my time spent healing) but those windows also tend to feel meaningful and not like a 'spam fest' so... I don't know what you're doing here.

Like BRD. Minuet feels like a time crunch because you're trying to use PP stacks at the right times while still getting off BL, EA and using Barrage at the right time during Raging. But when you do it right you also burst for a large amount of damage and it feels exhilarating.

I feel like perhaps you should experiment with some alternate classes. BLM has a very low cast per minute, it might feel a bit more like the gameplay you're looking for.

Either way - no, please, I don't want combat slowed down at all. It's fine where it is.

I cant sry i agree with the OP idea. But eureka still has community. And it's much nicer then the one on this thread. I bet, as the game moves on you will still find people in there tying for that special gear like Optical Hat.

I've stood it before, the lady staged of this relic should unlock a weapon skill. Watch purple throw themselves at it.

Wait, i dont agree. Dont slow it down.

...none?

Go check eureka, it's a spam fest, especially for dragoon.

ok you go play in baby mode then. let the big boys play the game it was meant to be played.

That's not what I meant. Fight in eureka or any boss battle and see for yourself. How many street fighter combos need to be made to finish a battle? To me its unnecessary.

You're saying literally the same thing over and over. It isn't more convincing the second time I see it.

Its called doubling down. I feel pretty confident about my opinion.

Someone has to, I suppose.

Because most don't agree.

So what I'm getting from this topic is the tc doesn't enjoy the GCD in general and would prefer something slower paced like turn-based combat or old school XI where you build tp to use weaponskills so there's more weight to each action.

I can understand to an extent. I find I can't spend more than an hour or two in Eureka without my wrists starting to hurt from mashing out my rotation.
However I find it extremely unlikely that SE would modify the combat significantly as you risk alienating people that enjoy the game the way it is. Especially since many people coming from other MMOs already find the GCD too slow here.

Street Fighter combos, Street Fighter combos, Street Fighter combos.
Do you write for Polygon or the like? Seriously, beyond the fact that buttons are pushed and things are called combos there is no similarity whatsoever between these games unless your skill levels and general reflexes are so painfully low that multiple inputs in <1 second are the same as a single button or even multiple sets of those <1 second inputs within 2-3 seconds are the same as pushing 3-5 buttons over 6 seconds tops.
If you really have that bad of a reaction time, you should probably stick to turn based games.

The faux outrage and backlash i'm receiving over a opinion makes me believe that the battle system suggestion was the right one to make.

Go check the battle rotation with dragoon, it's a spam fest.

Listen, all im saying is that combat can feel just as epic and satisfying... Maybe even more, if there were a option for slower combat. Combos can actually mean something rather than the spam fest it is at the moment.

Only one here that offered a response with substance was Moomba. That rest was quite toxic....
