These are also my gripes with the game.
The main one thats putting me off is how clunky the UI runs. For a game that focuses mainly on the crafting aspect, to actually create an item i have to equip said tools, which unless you make a macro for, takes ages to navigate through the HORRIBLE inventory system. Then after clicking Synthesize, i have to wait approx 5 seconds for the menu to load. Then a further 3-5 seconds for the next menu to load, be it clicking Requested Items or adding my own materials. Then.. each action taking around 5 seconds
- Select which tool im going to use
- Select what im making
- Confirm recipe
- Start making
- Each action.
I just find it extreamly off-putting that this happens, it takes an hours to do anything when it should take 15 minutes.
Adding to that time, I need to alt-tab (which crashes the game) to find any recipes. so atm, although i have 2 screens, i can't do anything with my 2nd montor, so having to use my laptop to do game research on.
I think, in general, if they made the game much more fluid flowing, specifically the UI/Combat/Menu systems, that they'd keep a lot more people playing.
Also the 36 hour cooldown on the quests is really frustrating. I, Like M0T, prefer to log in at weekends when im free, the fact i can only do 8 quests for the whole weekend really is annoying. imo reducing this to 24 hours would be lots better. That way you can log in each day and do your quests, crafting, exploring etc.. Will always have something to do that way.
Secondly, the targetting system, is horrible. I hate the fact you can target yourself when in combat, which lets face it, do you ever need to target yourself? even buffing abilities are smart-cast.
Other than those few moans, i am actually enjoying the game quite abit. the graphics are spot on, story-line is nice, quests are pretty decent although limited, i really like the ideas behind the crafting and the way its done and the abilities you learn in the lower levels 1-10 are all quite interesting (Archer)
EDIT: just so clarify, my PC is upto scratch, runs the game fine, i've tried changing the settings to lowand high and still getting all the UI issues i've stated. also my S/R is normally in the green, even in the large cities. Im guessing this is all to do with the servers ebing in Japan.
Also.. some Archer-related questions... Are any of you finding that regardless of how much damage the melee/tank is doing, you always seem to pull threat? In some cases, my friend has engaged the monster, hitting it for say 100, i'll then start my Light Shot and the isntant i 'cast' it, the mob starts heading towards me.
I find it really strange, as im not even doing as much damage as my Gladiator friend, and im pretty much at max range. Even using my threat dumping ability doesn't seem to work.
aaand another one, Everytime you level up, you get your point allotment and your elemental point allotment... What are other archers filling in their Elemental points with? as we don't seem to have any abilities that do elemental damage.. I've just got like 70-80 points saved up ready to burn lol.
