Request: When you start casting, make it stop character movement and autoface the mob

[Razorboi82]

Dude, shut up. Its a bad game design. You don't make players have to deal with server delay themselves by adding a position check button, you make the system do that. Its insulting to stop running and still get the error message.
You have no right to tell me to stop playing. Seriously, what the hell.

I take it your insulted very easily. I see now that this thread wasn't serious, Just trash to fill the forums. I have every right to tell any one anything as long as it doesn't specifically cause others physical harm. I'm still baffled by your post. So now you don't want it to change back, you want them to fix your hurt feelings?

You just read his reply and told him to shut up, though.

I realized that after posting it, and edited actually.

Oh my, what a relevant post. I'll try to make the best of it.
Do you think what he said deserved to be addressed any further? Because I don't.

I'm going to pretend you care about what was being discussed instead of just randomly trolling my thread and try to get it back on track and away from any other trolls and their derails.

Yoshi stated halting the player from running away was possible, and even considered, but they found it to be too intrusive so they preferred to add a position check button.
The result of that due to server latency was an error message if you cast too quickly. What does quickly mean? Casting when you have already stopped running in your screen.

Do you not think its bad design to have players mentally calculate server latency when playing a game? To have to put cheap servers into their strategy?
If you are casting a spell and running away interrupts it, what's the point of allowing you to keep running?
If you are going to continue running, don't cast it. Simple as that.

I ask you, what scenario happens more often FFXIV being one with roaming parties and not camps? One in which you run, stop and cast or one in which you run, cast, decide against it and continue running hoping your spell won't go off?

Try and justify this as good design. Do try. I dare you.
Yoshi tried to do it by claiming some of future spells will be compatible with running. Yeah, okay. What does that have to do with anything? Seems simple enough to make some lock the player in the spot and others not to and differentiate these spells with an icon or whatever the team can think of.

ohhhh the irony

that was in response to getting hit by eruptions because of getting stuck casting. if people weren't getting stuck before then the change suggested wouldn't have changed that if the person played properly.

you avoided them just like everyone else.

just saying that if you cast while running on a controller it registers you as a stop button just like /facetarget does for keyboard users then if you continue running it cancels you wind up with the same system for controller users that keyboard users have. the only difference is for controller users is they do not have the /facetarget button on the controller so it does need to be added.

we're not asking for it to be completely removed, but to have the bad design fixed so it works for both types of players.

Actually the thread asks for the old way to be re-instated. in all seriousness though this guy always complains about Everything in game that doesn't make things better for him, then gets butt hurt when people see some flaw in his rage. Much better to start a thread with the proper wording for what you are trying to say. Power Ranger shouldn't be taken seriously.

1- Your name is Razorboi82.
2- You don't even seem to be reading my replies, as pretty much nothing you've said addresses what's been said. You just insult whoever doesn't like what's been changed.

I invite you to go back to my last post, actually read it, and try to contribute. What you are doing to my thread is basically putting your hands over your ears and shouting whatever comes to mind. And if you continue to do so, I politely ask you to stop replying. But feel free to actually discuss the subject at hand.

It used to be this way ...

I don't know why they took it out. You can keep it so that moving cancels the spell but getting that "You can't cast while moving" message, or having to stop and wait on the server delay is unnerving.

So yes. Please make it so that when you press a spell whilst running the character stops and turns to the mob.

(I know about the face mob button, but I use a gamepad yo! Still seems silly for it to exist..)

So you use the game pad? Time to learn to play again. Most of us have to relearn too, and everyone is going to have to relearn a lot of things in the future. Stop trying to keep the old game, It was broken. Just figure out how "to play your job and you don't have to worry." I had to learn to play with this new style of casting, so why after taking my time, do you get to be the lazy one and demand it to change back? I'm just saying, If you don't like this, its only going to get worst. You might as well stop playing all together.
