I'm really sorry mages ; ;

[Gerrr]

yoshi stated himself this new system was going to cause issues for controller users. he was correct to the point it's almost game breaking enough to stop playing mage completely.

Dark, you are a cool guy but dang son, every time they change anything about the battle classes you are up in arms to the point of "not playing X anymore" Remember when they changed THM or the xp bonuses to leves.
I wonder, you are good at this game and generally friendly, Why get so bent out of shape and complain about every change. Moving cancelling spells HAD to happen. BLM, properly played > all.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I had Darkstar to the point where he had accepted Movement interrupting spellcasting... but then it was implemented kind of laggy and buggy....
I think Darkstar knows it will be fine with the new 2.0 server structure... He is just not feeling the Yoshi love because the change was added now.... when the server lag blows pretty hard

and yea... I learned not to talk to Darkstar about Thaum between 1.18 and 1.19

take, the issue isn't the moving cancels spells. it's the change should have been held off until it was ready to be put in correctly. the problem i have with it is that it is very laggy and buggy in game and this just compounds the issue.

if there were no issues with it and they didn't know there were issues yoshi would not have stated there were issues himself. if they knew there were issues why wasn't the change held off until they were taken care of?

do you see i am not saying don't put it in or remove it completely. i am saying it needs to be fixed.

another reason i am getting upset with the changes is i enjoyed the battle system more originally than i do now. the original system is why i got this game and have played it for a year and a half. the last few sets of changes are parts of the reason i played xi for all of 2 weeks before i dropped it.

I play mainly BLM and WHM (before and after update) and never got a problem with this. Never used facetarget or subtarget w/e is called.

[Majidah]

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.

Yeah I made a thread about this and some people actually defended this.

[Firon]

I have no problem with this and i'm on controller

[Yumi_Hibiki]

mage player on controller here, no problems whatsoever without any /facetarget macros
and im from EU, apparently lag is worst here (even thou i don't have a problem with that too...)
must be my gipsy magic ^~^

[DeadRiser]

I play with a controller and have no problems stopping and healing. They did add a shiny new feature that tells you when you aren't moving. If you are getting interrupted you either have a bad tank or you aren't using your crowd control spells.

[Onidemon]

I think that once 2.0 is out they should replace move to cancel with jump to cancel. Would make more sense.

[Chardrizard]

I guess we're on the same page now hah.
