zzzzzzzzz

[Asoka]

Just expressing my general mindset of battle mechanics of ffxiv, which i tend to fall asleep on in some occasions. I do think since this a new game, and it needs a new system from its previous title, but even though you have to position yourself to self skillchain, with like 7 others self skillchaining their own little fun abilities that i think is a nice little effect, i think it is still not enough. I can put my little sister on this game and let her play very well with my nostromo mouse and left-handed pad effectively. I didnt want talk about gear swaps, and and blink tanking and all that jazz, but atleast it had my attention on the game, and had me very aware. The way i see it though is that the majority favor how it is now, but i dont see how the majority favor it, even though 2.0 may give us all a saving grace with battle mechanics to satisfy both crowds.

2.0

[HiirNoivl]

2.0 indeed.

My main issue is that Hiir Noivl can only perform one action at a time. So I do one ability but I can't queue up another, and I'm sitting there just watching her swing her axe around, slam it on the ground... pause..... get... up....

zzzzzzzz....

Isn't action Queuing something you can activate in the Configuration menu?..

It's pretty boring unless youre a tank on a boss. Everyone else is either waiting for TP (zzzzzzzzzz), running out of MP (zzzzzzz), waiting for threat to go down (zzzzzzzzzzzzz), waiting to cast after moving (zzzzzzzz), interrupting cast by accident (zzzzzzzzz), mob dies before AoE goes off so have to recast your AoE (zzzzzzzzz).

Well, at least they kept something from XI. Right?

You must play with the worst Players in the world...

I have never met a single person who had to wait for TP or MP or repeatedly accidentally interrupted their casts, especially on a Boss fight.

Unless You're going PLD, you're probably doing the same thing every other DD does, but in one position.

Everyone else is either waiting for TP (zzzzzzzzzz),

Throwing weapons exist for this reason.

running out of MP (zzzzzzz),

Learn to manage your MP properly.

waiting for threat to go down (zzzzzzzzzzzzz),

Chameleon, Elusive Jump, and Freeze work wonders. Get a better tank.

waiting to cast after moving (zzzzzzzz),

I don't...what?

interrupting cast by accident (zzzzzzzzz),

I'd hardly consider this a zzzzzzzzzzz moment, especially if you're a WHM.

mob dies before AoE goes off so have to recast your AoE (zzzzzzzzz).

This is a problem, but not because it's boring. It's an annoyance.

The combat in this game is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than XI's combat, despite that not saying a whole lot, it's a great system. And with stuff like Battle Regimens coming back, I expect it to have some actual depth as well.

Be nice if XIV just used XIII-2's battle system.

This is just the worst idea.

[LaymanX]

This is just the worst idea.

Oh well thanks for explaining why.
Not that I care at all about whatever inane reasons you have for disliking FFXIII-2's combat, or if you do like the combat then your complete lack of imagination as to how they could make it work in an MMO, but the point is if you're going to just say 'lol no' you might as well just not say anything at all.

I actually somewhat enjoyed FFXIII-2. I just think turning away from what the game currently has is a terrible terrible move. The combat we have now is far better than what XIII/XIII-2 have. And far more involving.
