Oh yeah for all you peole bitching me out on PC specs hitting any where near 8k benchmark remember this:

THEY MADE IT GRAPHICALY INTENSE SO THAT IT WILL GROW WITH PC TECHNOLOGY!!

This eventually means that given 1-3 years every one will be running a machine that will be 5-10x better then current hardware.

OOhhh and believe you me. Hardware hase increased 140% over the last 3 years.

FYI: 8k is there because only dev machines can hit that mark with current tech. unless your rich.

Lol WOW IS THE GREATEST MMO EVER MADE omg flame flame!

I really dont care Im not saying which is better im just liking both flavors of MMO's. It is a game after all and for people to defend one over another is really stupid. But if you seriously want to compare....

THE AWARD GOES TO STARWARS THE OLD REPUBLIC! lol cry more

Watching that video on the new battle system it has me concerned, mainly because it *looks* like he has to manually select every single auto attack he performs from the slash to the stab.

[sorynbeta]

@Khalith Yeah well there was a lot of AFK people in FFXI that played melee classes and who know this could directly Correlate to the amount of power you may gain. I mean if your hitting like a truck on auto attack the tank will probable lose threat but picking your hits with full power may prove better.

[Khalith]

@sorynbeta Manually selecting every single slash, stab, and swing seems rather boring to me. The main problem with FFXI was the fact that the cooldowns on so many melee abilities were so long, it's nice to always have a button to hit, but not for your swings. It's more fun to always have some kind of special attack. Since you play WoW it's more fun to say "I'll hit this special attack so I can use this attack" and not like FFXIV new system where it's like "I'm going to stab, now slash, etc."

[sorynbeta]

@Khalith Yeah I understand how it can become tedious but remember this is only alpha and this could very well change. Auto attack will probably be recommended by the alpha testers but it just turns into the TP auto system in ffxiv. now in ff14  mobs seem to dies faster so it will probably more interactive then auto attack when your physical levels and gear are incorporated into your manual slash and other attacks.

Remember that there are other situation with "multiple damage" attacks.

i cant play this game. i thought my pc could support it, but i guess not. The lag is horrible. Oh and btw, i love the fighting system. It has a real FF feel to it.

lol I like how people say pressing a button on the mouse to attack is boring, when technically that's what you do for any game.
