    Spellcasting after an Enemy Dies

    We’ve been receiving feedback about magic spells not being canceled until the end of the cast time when enemies die mid-cast. We wanted to explain our reasons behind why we do not have any plans on changing this system in version 2.0:
    • Canceling magic is easy due to the fact that simply moving will interrupt casting
    • MP will not be consumed if an enemy has been defeated
    • Besides the time spent casting, there isn't any downside

    What about the time it actually takes to cancel the spell?

    It's almost impossible to stop a cure after its past the 40% on the progress bar, and spells like thunder or blizzard are hard to stop after 50-60% because of lag.

    Removed due to size restrictions and possible seizures risks.

    But the real question is, what are the advantages of keeping it?
    I don't see any... The target is dead.
    What are they?

    I understand it would cost resource to fix this bug and it is not a priority.

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.

    The problem isn't what it costs. The problem is not being able to attack a group of mobs because the one you were targeting happens to die.

    The downside is using the horrible targeting system to try and find a mob with enough HP left that you can use and AoE spell like the fire line.

    Or why do you target friendly characters with offensive spells? Caravans as my example.

    or it could also be because they don't want to buy better equipment since we still play this game.

    because they don't want to spend money to purchase a better server- and don't want to admit that it cost less money.
