I'm not even sure if ZOS care to listen how they destroy their own game with gamebreaking stuff like this.

Especially in PVP this hurts the gameplay too much.

So ... They managed (for once ...) to please everyone by setting weapon swap right. And then, they decided to mess it up (on purpose...), back ?
Care to explain ?
Btw, the difference is this one;
On live if you press swap and an ability key at the same time, you first swap then fire the ability.
On Pts, you fire first the ability then swap.
Its a huge difference. And quite game breaking in pvp.

Fully agree, weapon swap must be fixed.

Weapon swap is better for me on 1.6 than its ever been, but the main reason its still kind of unresponsive is that it locks itself for a few miliseconds everytime you light attack.

ZOS please listen.

Players complained and even quit because of the unresponsive and clunky weapon swap that you spent 8+ months to fix.
In 1.5 it feels quite responsive and good (finally!).

But now in 1.6 you add a cooldown and break the whole thing and push it back to the stoneage.

Of course I'm not suprised that you managed to break it yet again, but I ask: Why??

This should get fixed BEFORE you send the patch live, because it ruins the overall gameplay A LOT.
And I know there are many others who agree.

Actually the change was implemented because when under a lag spike you might of weapon swapped to the ability bar you were trying to swap from.

This is an intended change to test out having a small cooldown on weapon swapping. AFAIK there are plans to have a "sensitivity" slider in the UI for you to modify this cooldown (similar to dodge roll, and you would just be able to get rid of it too). They just wanted to see how something like that would work.

Have an MS speed rate like Dodge speed rate would be very useful.

I disagree with the OP, because of lag its often necessary to press the swap key several times until it registers in the game and at that time it is a toss of the die which bar you end up with.

This problem is fixed on the pts where it always switches to the next bar and prevent you from switching back because of the delay in repeating switches.

It is a most excellent solution to the problem.

you dont pvp do you, this delay is a death sentence from hell.

Can confirm. Both my NB and DK build rely on constantly switching weapons every second.

Suprised there is no official response on this yet, since everyone seem to hate the new weapon swap on PTS.

Way to go! Not.

I've started a new char and just hit 15, weapon swap is still locked. I've done every trick I know to do and nothing may have to roll another char to escape it?
