I thought I'd create a thread to find out what people think about GCD since it's release on 14th April.
I hadn't really played much of PL until today and once or twice last week and although at first I was unhappy about GCD, I think that it's actually pretty good and I can see that it was a much needed change.
I am still not 100% used to it yet - partly because I keep changing my skill map and I can never seem to remember where any of my skills are - which reminds me that my old skill layout was not well suited for GCD and so now that I've changed it I think I have now found a better layout. I just need to memorize it!
I still spend a lot of time looking at my skill layout - but that could be for the reason I mentioned above and I still sometimes feel that skills don't fire off as quickly as before and I find myself pressing them again once or twice before it appears to register.
I like the fact that I can now see what is going on and who is doing what, as before I never really could tell what my mage was doing as everyone was nuking everything all at the same time. Before it felt like a mad rush to spam all skills and to see who get in there first, but now it doesn't feel that way. it also doesn't feel particularly slow either.
I have to think more about what skills I am going to use and also to be more aware of the other team members - so that is surely a positive change.
What are your thoughts...
