How many of you noticed this in the spell casting demonstration?

[Rydin]

I want to know why Burst is a 15 min cooldown. Like, really?

It makes sense... when I burst, it takes me about 15 before I'm ready to go again

[Norack]

But the reason?

I do not know, allot of times when I code things I make a code that semi works, but isn't perfect or something that my clients wouldn't like as much. So when I export it over to the client version I re work things to make it something that the client will like better, but in the development process if I have something, or any kind of music in the background just to make sure it is streaming correctly, I could care less if its the right song or sounds different I don't need it to sound like the final product I just need to know that it works.

That could be just one of many reasons. That's what I do when I do coding not saying that's what SE does but it could be.

Good answer, and makes alot of sense after thinking about it.

Look, let's leave supermanning me last Saturday out of this. 15 minutes for burst (lightning elemental spell "burst") is preposterous.

[Sfarzoso]

15 minutes or 2 hours cd, means its powerful!

Yeah it is! I just noticed that it hit for 1973! Presumably that's from a L50 BLM on a 50-54 Kobold.

Reason? Why not, maybe they just have different versions of the song, doesnt that song only appear in guildleves and as u can see hes not in one.

Maybe its an old version they just didnt replace.

If Burst didn't have a massive cooldown you could constantly deplete your MP, switch with your HP and Burst again... It's obviously meant as a one off tactic.

And on topic... I like the current in-game version much better, OP is correct in saying it sounds like a crappy MIDI.

Not only that, the damage is laughable.

But the reason?

In game development, the dev version is usually different from the gold/rtm version of the game. There's a possibility they're using an older version or a version that they may incorporate at some point (they could be re-mixing the soundtrack and the dev version uses the in-progress works.)
