Alpha First Look: Video 8 – Instanced Dungeons

[Picchu]

That said, as a person who played 1.0 everyday since dec 2010, I don't like the pace of ARR's battle speed, nor do I think the animations are long enough to really enjoy the eye candy of the detail the devs put into ws animations/spells . BUT I have faith that this could/may change with beta or could be fixed completely upon final release.

What don't you like about the pace? From the videos, it seems perfectly acceptable. If anything, 1.0 was a bit too slow in terms of combat.
