We are listening to you all, and we are discussing it all as a team and looking into the things you mention.
Testing Ace MagicShield with Ruby magic shield, shows Ace to be faster. This is about 4 t-bolts, then shield, then t bolts, then shield.
FlameField is faster on Ace
Healing I agree is slightly slower on Ace, so we should be able to look into this for you.
I've tested most other spells and they all seem to be the same speed.
The cast speed on Ace was much, much faster than Euro/2.3/Ruby - I noticed this since i first got FireBall on my wizard.
Maybe it should have been changed from the start, but you all moan saying "This is not working like euro", when we do make things more inline with euro, we get complaints.
We are all putting a lot of effort into these files and this server, and remember this is all done in our spare time. We all have full time jobs, we come home and then continue working on these files. Poor old Sam is up till stupid o'clock in a morning working on the files, lol.
So like I say, we welcome your feedback and will look into all issues and discuss them as a team and make changes where we see fits. Threatening to quit, giving us grief etc will not help motivate us, it will only have a negative impact on us.
