Why do we have global cooldowns, and bars we have to manage also? I just don't understand this mechanic in MMORPG's. I don't know maybe I am just an idiot, and don't really understand how it all works. As I see it you don't need both in the game.
I love spamming my dps, and watching other players die in pvp. I hate running out of mana, or dealing with a spell on cooldown. It makes me want to break keyboards. If you don't want me spamming spells than why don't you just remove my mana bar (or whatever other silly energy, rage bar from the game. You don't need both to manage how someone mashes buttons.
Lets just say we use Global Cooldowns only. Make every spell you cast have a 2 second global cooldown. You see how easy it is to keep me from mashing my three button? It can be solved that easy. It would prolong fights, and possibly give players more time to react to the other player instead of just hitting some spell rotation that you hope works.
The next option is to just have mana, energy, or rage bars. You remove global cooldowns from the game. This puts more strategy into your game instead of just spamming stuff. If you mash your three button four times, and you are out of mana, rage, or energy it will lead you to manage your bar better if the other player saves theirs, and kills you easily after you are a helpless player without anything but auto attack.
It just frustrates me currently in the game that I have to deal with global cooldowns, mana bars, mana regeneration every single fight. MMORPG's should be more about fighting like in an fps.
Do you think global cooldowns, and mana, energy, or rage bars have to be both in the game, or do you agree with me that it should be one or the other?
