Eh, this still fits.Wait a minute, it wasn't him.
You can have both cooldowns and cast times. They have nothing to do with each other. Cooldowns are a substitute of a resource system (or a supplement) as in you cast this spell now and can't use it for x seconds from that point so you better use it wisely. Similarly to how you spend mana or casts or whatever.I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but cooldowns instead of cast times also imply nerfing powerful and cool abilities, because they frontload the effect and postpone delay rather than the other way around. An instakill spell, for example, can be perfectly viable and balanced with cast time, but with cooldown it becomes a gamebreaker, because it simply kills the target without giving it any opportunity to avoid it.
You know a discussion has gone fullYou can have both cooldowns and cast times.
It's also possible to have a fine meal together with a shit sandwich - but would you want that?And all of these is possible to have together with a cooldown, too.
Good wording.Cooldowns are a substitute of a resource system
Codex is being post-, recursively- or possibly meta-ironic (I don't know which, but it's got to be one of those).Also why does the title imply that hating jews is contradictory with supporting homosexuals?

Share some.I already know the pros
And you claim to be a woman...Sorry, I'm not given to repeating myself. Read the topic.
My arguments in this topic only pertain to the implementation of them in Origins, which would have been clear to you with reading comprehension.
If you hate jews you shouldn't support homosexualism, which is a jewish ploy. Otherwise you're just contradicting yourself.Also why does the title imply that hating jews is contradictory with supporting homosexuals?
Ok, I have read the topic or at least your posts in it thoroughly.Sorry, I'm not given to repeating myself. Read the topic.
The problem is that the thread is titled "Lilura's Pro-Cooldown Thread", and yet you haven't written anything defending the actual cooldown mechanics, which I accuse of being shit when used in any, but highly specific manner (vehicle weapons that autoreload, or are reloaded by crewmembers, devices that actually need to cool down, exogenous spells/abilities that can logically require some outside factors to reset or recharge, very short delays that don't permit cycling as way to optimize spell output).My arguments in this topic only pertain to the implementation of them in Origins, which would have been clear to you with reading comprehension.
