BLM instant sleep

Honestly, extremely boring and extremely slow back to WoW i go

I think the game will flop eventually. Many of my friends have already left the game as the combat is to slow for them. I know in your head saying well that's just a few people.. no usually if you know people leaving for a certain reason then there is many people you dont know leaving for that reason as well. Much like every mmo that comes out these days i think the hype will last a little while.. 6 months maybe and you will see a drastic drop in the population. I think they could really enhance PVP by adding MASS AMOUNTS of speed to pvp items. I had high hopes for the game but find myself not even being able to log in as i hate the combat with a passion , everything from having the DOTS/HOTS run on a server time (like really what in the actual fuck), from a long GCD, to the hit mechanics of the game. Let me ask you this does a rock hit you in the face if i am throwing it from a distance when it first leaves my hand or after the travel time to your face.. FFXIV is so heavily based on cast time so even if you are out of the damage area you will get hit if you were then when the cast bar ends, its not actually based on projectile time.. Its a little thing but its just annoying as i find it dumb. Overall the combat system is just clunk clunk clunk ...................... slow


This is not to say i wont give it a try if its released before this extra month i bought ends. I probably will not resub unless they do add mass skill speed to items.. hopefully it comes out before my sub ends!

Wont happen before you sub ends. This is a new MMO. Its takes time just like WoW, Everquest, GW, and Rift. Other MMOs just didn't take their time.

I believe they're will be a lot of improvements over time. Well hoping so at least. Overall great game. Its not an action mmo its a tab target mmo so I am ok with the GCD.

People who use Tab Targeting in pvp are always the ones dragging down the team .. .ever watch people blow a big cd on a pet because they are tab targeting and cant get it under control , you will laugh.

Mouse over macros and target macros ( probably for the arena based pvp) 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 ,5 for crucial stuns and int's if you see there cast bar come up with something that needs to be stopped.
Tabbing just makes things even slower.. ........... Also im not sure if you play RIFT, its pretty dead, GW 2 is pretty dead .. Everquest was popular because it was before WoW , and the king remains at the top of its pedestal.

I really do believe the player base is going to drop in a dramatic way for FF over the next few months, everyone hopes they will find a new mmo other then WoW and give it a shot only to go back.. look at rift and GW.. swtor was hyped up huge for a bit then all back to WoW.

I am not preaching WoW in anyway.. i wanted a new game too and i played RIFT a long time.. my sub actually just ended at the start of Oct and iv played sense almost BETA off and on. But every time i go looking for a new game i get disappointed and end up back at WoW , its a vicious cycle.

What i really want more then anything is a twitch combat based MMO ,similar to Tera's combat system only refined a bit In a better game.. Tera was not much past the combat which i did enjoy a lot.

I need something new something great but nothing dramaticly new seems to be coming out......... really what did ff do different other then how crafting works.. nothing.. dynamic events .. if you can even call fates that are nothing new. Raid mechanics are nothing new , skills are nothing new.. oh you can multi class a few skills.. changes pretty much nothing.. (yes some of them are very good) but this as been done in the past with skill trees ....

Nothing is new.. its all the same shit in a different package only its slower then other games unless you are a crafter

Actually I have played Rift and its pretty active depending on what server your on. Just like every MMO including WoW.

Also from years of gaming and forums I have found out one thing.

MMO players who started off with WoW only want WoW mechanics in any other MMo's they play. They do not want a change. Same with Diablo 2 players and Rpgs.

Then there are people who try out new MMo's for less then an month and either call it a clone or not close enough to WoW. MMO's aren't meant to be played for only a Month. Come on now.............

Your right though there is no new crazy mechanic besides the new crafting system.

I personally love that I can have every class on one character. That right there is $$$$ to me. Rift offered decent multiclassing as well.

In no way shape or form am I saying FFXIV is a Greatgame, but it is definitely a Good game.

Also if your someone who honestly played WoW or any MMO from near the start you would know that most MMO's start out the same way. Only time will tell whether the game will be great or not.

I never played SWTOR by the way. Hype wasn't nearly enough for me and I put in at least 48 hours of game play into Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox playing both evil / good story line. Also I played Wow Vanilla and Rift Beta from start - going F2p.

its not in the beta phase for pvp, but yoshida already said pvp gear is gna have cut down times and resist vs certain skills, so that sleeping wont be so overpowered, especially when casted multiple times, the duration lowers. Kinda like pld stun vs E
