Is there really a 2s GCD(global cd)

Anyone, i've heard rumors of this which makes the game sounds pretty slow but no absolutes.

I wouldn't worry about global cooldowns. They are implemented in many games to set a pace for ingame actions.
I wouldn't worry about this type of stuff until the NDA is down, if something is not working well then I am sure they would change it.

Yes, i know.. but 2 seconds is ridiculously horendus.
WOW has a 1.5sec GCD for all classes except for rogues, a .5sec difference really that big?

Yes.

Yes.
If you really think that then this is simply another troll thread looking for anything to bitch about.
.5 seconds is not a big diffrence regardless of how you look at it. So you may be able to blink one more time OH NOES.

Lucky for you I didn't quote you a minute ago... But the removal of the NDA isn't that far off, so I recommend to wait a bit before speculating.
I honestly couldn't care less if there was a 3 second gcd. New is refreshing to a gamer!

Wows is basically 1s because its easily exploitable(which is why in reality its 1.5 i'd assume) with server latency, not sure if it'll be the same case for warhammer thats the problem. A flatout 2 seconds seems long.
Every game has some kind of delay factor. What do you think this is? Button Mashing for 8 year olds??
What do YOU think this is, an old foug friendly game where you can sit there and decide for 20 minutes on what to do next because your brain can't process information fast enough?
what most of you flaming this guy are failing to see is that if there infact is a 2s GCD then there can't be any casts lower than 2s which in itself is kinda meh.
edit: or rather there wont be spammable primary attacks that are below 2s cast
Well 0.5 sec isnt that much of a diffrence, Global cooldown only shows how you controll your player when you got the cooldown, if you cant handle it, you shouldt play it imo.

First of all, without us old fogies, there wouldn't be mmorpgs in the first place.
Secondly, if 2 seconds equates to 20 minutes to you, I'd get checked for ADD.

thing you have to remember is not all abilities actually trigger this, just wait till NDa, im not sure on the time, but i know not all the abilities actually trigger a global cooldown.
Whoever fears death, dies everyday. Who doesn't, dies only once.
I am sure I read/heard an interview where they said the cooldown included the casting time. So a major heal that takes 2 seconds to cast has 0 cooldown.
On the other hand a spell that casts in .5 seconds cant be cast again for another 1.5 seconds.
Nice, someone who finally understands the GCD.

Or someone who prefers tactics / stragey to playing wack-a-mole.
I want a twitch game I'll play Mortal Kombat, not an MMO.

Im pretty sure the GCD is 1.5
No such thing as luck, just believing in it is what makes it real to you and really...thats all you need.
Im on nobodies' side but my own.
Majority of the "information" that you have read about this game, unless it is quoted from one of the Mythic team, is pure conjecture and heresay. The ingame mechanics, like global cooldowns and the like, have not been released to the public. So there is no way for you to have heard any information about it that is accurate.
Now with that in mind you can douse your touch, pack away the pitchfork and calm down some. The NDA will be lifted in the near future (especially if that leaked release date is accurate) and you will know all. In the mean time take comfort that I played the game at Games' Day Toronto and it is grade A awesome.
I'm sorry but were talking about, at most one second more. First off until the NDA drops this is all speculation. Secondly has the attention spans of this generation of gamers degenerated to the point that wait 2 seconds before you can click another button really become something unbearable.

Game is in beta. GDC right now is less then 2 sec. Game is in beta. GDC can change. Game is in beta.
Then don't play the game.
