Speed up cast delays

[malice-tg]

This post is purely from a pvpers perspective as I don't feel this would drastically change the face of the game for crafters and PvMers alike.


Im simple terms currently you can't cast spells fast enough after already casting one or recasting after a disrupt I feel if this was sped up it would increase the quality of pvp and Make the shard less about instant hit and more skill based as opposed to luck.

I'm not really that good with wording and explanation so I'll leave it at that til more is needed.


Feedback, opinions etc thank you

I like the delays because they are more accurate. faster casting doesnt really make pvp any better.

i vote no on this but nothing wrong with suggestions.

From personal experience you should be able to tell our recast time is well over 2.2 seconds

You're wrong, sorry.

I have developed "our" recast times based on the articles.

The community invited us back, and we got a lot of donation gold, so we weren't just going to trash it. We like the server, its just not highly competitive. I'm fine if things stay they way they are, (white wyrm speed aside) but i'm always going to back up what I believe

I think its a good idea, but its ganna be shot down by a buncha neo uo scholars

Why do you play here if you're against the shards main principle to recreate the t2a experience?

What is your point?

There is no evidence to suggest that anything changed from the introduction of the recast delays in '98 up to UOR until the alteration made in the AOS publish.

Do you honestly think we're going to change the delays based on nothing?

Sorry, that isn't how it works son...

lowskill player has adjusted to system and will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way. sad

Does anybody have a link so we could see what casting times are for each spell? Are there, or should there be modifiers in casting time?

Did you happen to miss this portion that was clearly stated earlier in this thread?

Again, this implementation like every other on this shard is based on accuracy.

What about this post in the Lich Lord Room thread?

If you don't like era accuracy than leave. How many times does this have to be said to you before it registers? This shard isn't about pleasing you and your opinions. A real Pre:UOR shard just isn't for everyone since many simply can't handle it.

It's not off screening it's more the slow rate at which you can fastcast your next spell etc

If you are having a problem fast casting, then the only advice I can give you is familiarize yourself with the recast delay. Hold your initial spell for a moment so you can fast cast the next spell. Otherwise, you will be paralyzed by the recast delay.

Ye i know how to pvp broskie I just thought it was a tad slower on this shard compared to others I've played.

alot of people have told me it's probably just my ping here so feel free to delete this thread when needed.

It is slower on this shard because we use the "real" recast delays that was used on OSI. The RunUO default servers that you typically play on is and has been coded incorrectly from the start. It forcefully applies the recast delay after every spell cast(the phase after the animation pumps of the cast delay are finished). This isn't how the recast delay worked on OSI.. The article that I listed in this thread explains it in full detail...
