Thread: Client Update 1.7.1 is Live!
I would like to voice my dissent of the cool down. Its really fun spamming all my spells at once. It also makes my heal absolutely ineffective for anything.
Perhaps a cooldown of 0.25 and a queue of commands that could be fired off, although I could see where a queue may be undesirable.
edit: I hope the GCD can be changed via serverside only..

Return king and queen to their former glory please.
Devs...thanks for being open to our criticisms and complaints. I know some are generalized gut reactions but there are recurrent valid complaints here as well. Please find a happy medium with GCD. I love that I can pick this game up for 5 minutes or 5 hours....my choice. I think that GCD will make the 5 minute option obsolete as it will be hard to join an effective PUG.
Again...thanks for your willingness to accept our feedback!
Hi,
Global cool down takes away the real-time actions contributing to combos, real time decision making, etc. Its a step backward in my opinion, and most importantly, its not as fun to play the game. Please consider removing - thx.
Yes, but even those other mmorpgs have skills that are not affected by gcd, usually buffs and debuffs.

yes i am stephanie..what do you mean by another stephanie?
So I've never posted because I'm lazy and don't care about anything much. But I had to comment following 1.7.1 update. In general, the update is good with the faces, emoticons, etc. But the gameplay has taken a big hit. I played through Balefort Stronghold one time and didn't play again because it wasn't even fun anymore. I think the global cooldown ruined the PvE gameplay. I heard GCD was for PvP, then please keep it for that only. Bosses are nearly impossible now without significant potting, is that the goal here? I always look forward to a more difficult game, but this is not more challenging, it is just more frustrating. I don't understand what the sewers set comments on here are but I'm worried that there are less or no more good drops. I'm a level 55 that has no other real way to get gold, what am I to do if the drops go away?
Please change the GCD. I will no longer play if it stays in this format. I will NOT be spending any more money for a format that is not fun to play.
cant even use all my dmg skills before others ones back up...... maybe .2 gcd but not .5
Another tidbit on GCD. It's very distracting to see it regen and also have to distinguish which skills are still in skill cool down. It takes away from watching the game play and other players health!
that's a good suggestion.
Any idea when the friend join button will be fixed?
this is the good idea. I didn't know how to quote before...
I'm disappointed...I am very seriously disappointed. As you know, I've been a proponent of the update for a long time, dodging and parrying blows with the detractors and then now, on D-DAY, we receive the long-awaited update and I am crushed. I'm thinking about leaving the game...
...How am I supposed to look pimp and inspire the noobs of Forest Haven to greatness without sparkles when I have my Crown of Persistence on? This must be fixed NOW! If you're hesistant to do it because of balance issues then make it only for PVE! I could look twice as cool with sparkles than without. Really, if it looks too cool, then you can just make everyone look uglier or less epic so it doesn't effect the game as much. I might be ok if it just sparkles half as much as the other sets. But make this change now or I swear, I will go play another game. King's Quest on my Commodore 64 was better than this! ;P

I started playing about a month ago and absolutely loved this game. Brought me back to when EQ was new. I have been having a blast playing to date but have to agree with some of the above posts. The GlobalColdown takes a lot away from the game for me as well. I cant effectively heal anymore im going to go broke buying pots (which might be what you are going for) and its very difficult to play solo if i just want to go through one zone because i only have a little bit to play. Ill have to see a little more once i can group with my friends again? maybe it will be ok but as it is right now im not enjoying the game. I liked the ability to solo sometimes and get through things fast especially as a game on my phone with limited battery. Don't get me wrong i don't want it to be so easy a caveman can do it but.....
agreed. I now spend more time watching my cooldowns, waiting, trying to remember whats in gcd versus being in its own cooldown, rather then watching the fight.
Nothing has ever been remotely close to King Quest greatness. NOTHING!
Cooldown was made to remove multitoucher players..
Now skills are so slow 0.5sec per skills I feel like im in slow-mo...
First idea: make combos faster! what about 0.1sec per skill or less...
Second idea: put way less dodge like cut 50% dodge on every items ex: drainer pass 6dodge to 3dodge!
Third idea: Apply very low cooldown like 0.01 only to ipad! No more multitouchers
Thx for reading
