Heavy Attacks acting up

    Yep. Noticed as well when using lighting staff heavy attack.

    Its like heavy attack is never ending. Try to cancel the heavy attack and use another skill. Most definitely a problem.

    PC/NA.
    No ticket logged.
    The heavy attack problem became very obvious in public dungeons. Same thing happening with restoration staff too. Skills are ultra laggy in general.

    I am not even getting a HA. I am just stupidly soft targeted looking at a mob and ava doing nothing, as if HA no longer exists

    They gotta fix this, lots of mechanically challenged people using HA builds and would severely impact their ability to do content.

    Skinny-meta-fake, graded D, and can’t explain the law of diminishing marginal returns.

    His sig says PC NA. Can confirm this bug on PC EU as well since U32 dropped.

    Yep, I saw the sig. Just wanted to make sure they weren't also playing on console since Deadlands released today for console players.

    Play main healer on PC NA and EU. Having same issues; this makes trying to run things like Rojo in trials almost impossible if it happens. Combine it with sometimes the skill categorically refusing to target in the first place and you're cooked. Never had this issue before the update but have commented on in with guildmates, many reporting similar experience.

    PC/EU. I have a similar problem with energy overload (ultimate / storm calling skill line): when I try to use this continually, it fires for < 1 second, then stops, but it used to fire until the ultimate was used up.

    PC NA, Gamepad. Ticket submitted but don't remember the number, sorry. Problem since day 1 of Update 32:
    Nightblade (magicka, Julianos, ring of the hunt) with Lightning and Restro Staff: especially when confronting a major Deadlands World Boss, neiither light nor heavy attack will function, (poor little toon looks silly just running slightly crouched and unable to use equipped weapon and of course does no damage). Problem slowly fades when running only overland mobs and monsters, but reappears when confronting World Bosses anywhere in Tamriel.

    HA is acting strange even on stadia... way more noticeable with lightning staff - keeping button pressed usually starts next HA, now not every time; continues even after buton is released.
    PC and stadia with controller.


    may be have to tag someone @ZOS_Kevin

    have the same issue on xbox, NA and EU.
    Next heavy attack after the first one often not firing if I keep the button pressed, I now must release it first and even wait a second.
    Bummer, destroys heavy attack based playstyle, that was not even strong before, but a "last resort" for people with finger problems.

    My experience exactly, except for me it's worse, since I play from Australia with a low fps and ping between 300 and 400. This makes any combat style involving multiple button presses problematic, to say the least!

    Xbox NA series X - I went to each zone, alphabetically, It happened in each zone. Heavy attack is not triggering correctly, sometimes it keeps on long after something is dead, sometimes won’t go off. I also noticed that if the monster starts a running charge, it will not let you heavy attack it.

    No! It is definitly not a problem with the internet connection. Many people have been reporting the same issues since the Deadlands patch arrived. The problem is real, but you will only notice it using an Heavy-Attack build using resto or shock staves.

    I think @Chrysa1is was joking, pointing out the stereotypical tech support answer to any problem: "reset/restart/reboot it". :)

    This happens for me too; sometimes I notice my char completes a heavy when I intended a medium, even when my finger isn't on the mouse anymore. Sometimes means my char spins around a locked target, and doesn't fire the subsequent skill use, either.

    I have noticed this. Seeing a noticeable delay in weapon or skills firing. Also with unlocked targets. Seems to be related to the target moving out of a narrow area of player focus. Noticeable with both world bosses in The Deadlands and with regular enemies (lions, senche tigers, salamanders, etc.) in both base zones and DLC zones.

    Playing on Xbox Series X.

    Also having lightning heavy attacks lock in and unable to stop them. Can't even block to end it, which is a problem.

    But also, I am finding that if I try to immediately cast a heavy attack right after one just finished, it doesn't seem to work. I have to fire another skill before it lets me heavy attack again.
