I'm really sorry mages ; ;

[darkstarpoet1]

this is just another of the forums awesome moments.

"don't complain until it's in and you test it out"

it comes out and test and find major bugs

"it's too late now it's in game so deal with it"

just because some people are not having an issue does not mean that it has went as smoothly for others. it's the same issue with lag. some people have shown me fraps videos of things like them getting hit with eruptions and showing the damage before the eruption even shows on their screen. i haven't had that issue, but since i have seen the video of another person having it then i can't dispute it is there.

the key is just because an issue may not have shown itself to you that doesn't mean others are not running into issues you have not. it's really not going to have the same issues when it comes to a keyboard user telling a controller user there's no issues when undoubtedly alot of people are having major ones when using a controller. even yoshi himself stated there would be issues with controller users.

I play mage and I totally have no problem with moving interrupts spell casting. It makes the class more then a click fest...you gotta strategize your placement and your actions.

IMHO it's perfect now. If you want to play a clickfest there are other MMOs. I want to play a real game and play like how mages should play. I DO NOT want nor feel that mages should be able to run around and be able and still cast spells.

IT REQUIRES concentration to cast spells...

Controller is fine! I've been playing with a controller since day 1. I've also spent the last 2 months knowing the change was happening and practiced...

Anyways...noobage statements not needed to try to change a mechanic that was added to BETTER the magic classes. Yes I said better. How about learn to play?

[Alhanelem]

Because a few spells are instant cast and can still be used while moving, i really have no grievance with the current system, other than the small annoyance of occasionally having to press the button 2-3 times before it decides im not moving anymore.

IMHO it's perfect now.

Nothing in this game will be perfect until there is very little latency/lag

I do like this game... I know 2.0 will alleviate this issue... but saying it's perfect now is a good sign that you should remove the rose colored frames and see things how they really are

It's like when Ifrit came out...
the lag for abilities was/is really bad...It got to a point where you didn't dodge eruptions, you dodged ability timers
Since then we've learned to do this efficiently...

BUT

Just because we are able to do this... it doesn't make it right... It is not... and I repeat IT IS NOT an added challenge...

I hate the "I don't have a problem so it must not be a problem" mentality
Back when people would D/C from Darkhold all the time.. if there was someone who never saw it happen, they'd post "You guys are doing it wrong... we never D/C"
or
"If you guys would just learn to play, you could do the speed run with 6 or 7 people"

Back to the issue at hand... there is nothing wrong with people chiming in
If you're fine with it.. good... Very good for you... Some people are ok with dating ugly girls and eating at Rally's... but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to like it

Don't be a pretentious douche and think your opinion means more than anyone else
Last I checked.. the only 1 gil on this forum that is worth more is Gaths (*citation needed)

And on the flip side, people who don't like it tend to exaggerate and sensationalize things... I guess that's internet nature... but a minor annoyance becomes a serious issue... and moderately problematic becomes game breaking
We need middle ground...

Because this little feature isn't perfect... if you say that you're delusional. But at this point, no one is debating whether this should be in game.... all anyone is saying is this is another feature that is being negatively affected by the pre-2.0 lag

But it isn't quite game breaking (Which is a relative term, I guess not game breaking to most). And if it does break your experience... I hear 2.0 may be just thing for you... or may be not... who knows

I just effectively stepped on every toe in this thread... but thats ok...

I think they made this because mages need respect. They are like more authorities when standing. Priests are not jumping and running round altars in churches. RP might like this.

[Rydin]

Priests are not jumping and running round altars in churches

awwww... someone's never been to a black church

[Kyri]

As a career mage I hate the new non moving casting>< I'm not saying I can't do it. I'm saying I don't like it at all.

[Agoven]

Harry Potter stood still to cast spells too! He's a career Mage.

[AceofRains]

Can someone post a video of the problems theyre having?

Until the last couple days I've mainly leveled DoH/L and some DD classes. Getting archer done meant I needed to get CNJ to at least 15 so that's been my goal tonight.

WOW, does interrupt while moving suck completely hard.

I had Cure/Protect I use while leveling other classes and I never really noticed - and I didn't think it was such a big deal when they made the change, but now that I'm doing it full time... I'm practically interrupted at every turn. I can't fight and cast, I can't move, I get interrupted by any knockback - I get interrupted, I swear, doing nothing!

It may have seemed natural in XI but it seems completely counter-intuitive to how this game is built and operates. This game is designed around the concept of moving while fighting. I don't think I could ever full-time a mage class, I would throw my controller against the wall!! I don't know how you mages stand it. Respect for you guys putting up with this. I had no idea.

it works in this game...

it doesnt work for you because you were used to it to cast and run at the same time in FFXIV.


it felt more unfluent when i casted a spell... then i moved... and 3 seconds later i automatically get stucked at one place..


that hasnt been very fluent gameplay AT ALL.
it is totally normal.. that after a radical change you need time to adapt
