Attacks being canceled by target?

Vapirko

This only happens once in a while, but occasionally I get in a fight where I feel like my attacks are constantly cancelled, even if I have an immov potion on whatever and my stun marker isn't poppping up so idk. I keep starting phys attacks with the person right in front of me and they just cancel, plenty of stam left, even light and heavy attacks. Maybe I'm misreading this but doesn't seem like it. Almost always a 1v1 situation.

This has occurred to me 4-5 times today, I get near certain targets (specific other players), suddenly its as if everything locks up. Its not stun as I can still move, but no abilities fire nor do light or heavy attacks. What made it very odd was that it was the same players, where this behavior would exert itself. If it happens again I will attempt to capture it to post for reporting.

There is definitely some weirdness going on.. aside from generally freezing up when getting caught by ball-groups (there's that much CC + dmg going on in there that you have no idea what's happening - but it seems that after being unable to cast, a breakfree should then let you start shielding - but quite often it doesn't.. perhaps theres silences there too - or maybe there's a bug somewhere...

Another one I've seen where I had a clear example was in a 1v1.. I froze up while casting a shield (hardened I think) - thought I was CC'd - so broke-free, tried again, froze up again then died.. Looking back at the combat logs and chatting to the guy, I could see that the 2nd was due to him hitting me with an incap. I know that was the 2nd one because I could clearly seen the log that I'd bashed him just before it... That was actually my trying to break-free from the first one.. He said he didn't use any other hard cc apart from incap - and I couldn't see any in the log. Also I didn't have CC-immunity or incap wouldn't have stunned me - but he DID say that he bashed before the incap.
So I'm wondering if some 'instant' abilities aren't quite so instant.. Hardened ward has an animation duration - and the shield doesn't appear until its completed. Sometimes I find it really slow when I need it NOW.. But I'm wondering if it can be interrupted in the same way as channelled or cast-time abilities.. I know it shouldn't but its starting to feel like it could be happening.
I'll have to get around to testing it.

sorc in General is pretty slow to Play in comperation to dk or templar. his Animation last forever, cant be canceled, clunky pice.

also cyro is a bugfest right now, random stuns throguht block, also this skills doesnt Show up in recount and others addons.
i once was in a situation where i was stunned from rev bash, it was for sure rev absh since ist the only skill where you tumbling like a drunk pice of ***.

then Situation where random skills doent work or animations doesnt Show up. had a few times now allready where i cant cast a few skills such as dragonblood, englufing flmaes etc, they never ware the same skills. however all other skills working fine so im not silenced.

so bassicly lets wait 3 weeks till zos fixed atleast a few of thus Bugs, meh lol

Yeah this sounds like it. Im fairly experienced with PvE, a bit new to PvP so perhaps im just noob against other players, but its really odd as theres a clear difference between just getting crushed and what happens sometimes when my toon wont carry out any actions except being able to move around like you say.

Maybe someone did a skill which applied the "disorient" effect on you.

Disoriented targets are unable to do any actions, but unlike stun, disorient wears off when target get damaged.
So if you where getting damage and still could not do anything something fishy, or lag, is going on.

Yeah was getting hit the whole time, the attacks appeared to start but would get cancelled very quickly so my toon was making small funny motions.

I do think a bug is around. When I cast healing ward, 9 out of 10 times since homestead it does not do the animation but my character makes a twitch and the ward is cast. Like an unintended cancelled animation. It also happens when I am alone so it might be a bug (surpise) on @ZOS end instead of hackers.

@ZOS_GinaBruno can you look into this? Just try casting healing ward. I have it a lot of times in and outside cyrodill.

I was experiencing the same with BoL the other day, except sometimes it didn't cast. (But did take my magicka.) Sometimes it did cast, but there was no animation.

Had this happen with Fiery Leap, too.

Indeed. I also had that it did take my magicka, but no ward was applied. I looked around to see who got it (I wish is was always on the caster) but I was alone.

been out of Cyro for quiet some time, BUT

if you run with an infamous ballgrp of 10-15, well, not rly a ballgrp since comrades know what they are doing, acting like jucy hubba bubba, everything working out just fine. fine at prime time. and later on in the night you roam alone. facing 3,4,5 opponents and no skills are working. well no skills are working for you. but the brothers and sisters of another colour can chew you without any issues... and that's more than a year past, right.

scapegoats and hurt egos, everywhere. and a saddening lack of real life experience.

anything goes. no sheeple no wolves. dont accpect things to change. not in this game nor in any others. e-sports remain a farce no-one cares about, except gamers and people who got money to make.

i know fifa sukki sukks big time. lance was fake. but anyway. rl exp prevails. don't let your breed get lost in fake worlds. there's nothing like a real runner's high. nope, not even poppy.

*rülps* peace out. to every fkn body.

Trottz

wait. did I just let that go live? omfg *facepalm*

heystreethawk

I liked it. Nice change of pace, tonally.

Solariken

I've noticed some odd skill behavior as well.

The most egregious I've experienced (which has happened many times now) is when using Dawnbreaker of Smiting - I hit the button and my ultimate is consumed, but there is no animation and no damage done. Anyone else experiencing this?

Killers blade never goes off for me until I've spammed it several times. Also I'll go to use IC and the sound plays but nothing happens, at least I keep my ultimate, it just doesn't go off at keys times when I'm trying to use it. Also, for a long time using potions never works. I can spam my potion key 5 or 6 times and it makes the "just used a potion" sound but it never gives me the potion.

The skill and item use in this game is iffy at best. Even with a good ping it's like the servers aren't talking to my computer lol.
