Understanding Swiftcast

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

I don't have swiftcast, but I understand the delay issue. If I cast Ice and then switch between umbral ice to astral fire too quickly, the game won't recognize that I even had umbral ice to begin with. I'd imagine it is the same for swiftcast.

you mean Transpose has no effect? like this?

This is just server lag.

Give it 1 second before casting your spell after swiftcast, wait until you see that "+Swiftcast" image coming up your char, and it will work

that there be the problem. it IS there. the + swiftcast and the buff icon. it is not just server lag. and IF it is server lag then our clients are not compensating for it. allowing stuff to show visually before the server ever acknowledges it. thus when quickly executing the next skill something other then expected happens.



there is an issue somewhere. i don't know if it is network, game code based, user interface based or simply a hardware issue. but there IS an issue.

on my end while playing this game i have had several issues with executing skills.


Regen. White Mage spell. heal over time.

sometimes when trying to refresh the counter when around 3 seconds remaining the spell has no effect. other times it works fine.


Esuna. White Mage spell. removes one negative detrimental effect.

sometimes when trying to remove poison the spell has no effect. even when the poison is half way through it's duration.



then the issues with swiftcast.


and then like you can see in my previous post issues with transpose.





the fact that there are issues with so many spells here makes it quite unlikely it is the action they themselves that be the problem.

i just hope Square Enix is aware of this. and that are trying to figure something out or are investigating it.
