Animation Lock: Why don't you like it?

[Shougun]

You should not be frozen in place for several seconds while you watch an animation play! Any intelligent real person in real life would be able to run around while swinging their sword, and be able to run around after finishing their incantation for a magic spell! there is NO GOOD REASON to freeze the player in place for that long! NONE.

/Thread destroyed.

Besides the locking we are talking about in popular games isnt even the same as in FFXIV - FFXIV was to watch your character act retarded for 2 seconds, while other games that use a sort of "weighted actions" its like .5 seconds at max (also these games, like dota have such a skill known sometimes as animation canceling - and also like in Dark Souls its a "weighted" action not a "locked" action).

There is no intelligence in 1.0's lock.
