Animation priority: game feels delayed .. Bar swap, ability delay & Potions only when standing still

Tillalarrien · June 2016

So yeah new animations are making my game feel like I am playing with lagg. Weapon swaps feels delayed, skills that I am using feel delayed and on top of that I can only drink potion if I stop moving in middle of the fight (you can go with some immersion explanation here, fact is its annoying as hell).

I belive abilities are still fireing when I press, its just that new animation system shows them delayed. And that buggs me. Game FEELS and LOOKS delayed. Game FEELS worse.

Plys tell me Its actually just lagg on my part.. or is it the same with others?

I have issues with weapon swap cancel.
If I do it like I used to my poison arrow is not going to fire off. So it is kinda slower now.
And yes, overall the combat feels a bit more.. Sluggish?

The game does feel worse.

I noticed it in particular with the stamina version of DK Ardent Flame skills - with the fire versions there's flames and burning, with the new poisoning affect it doesn't look like anything is happening.

I was also confused that I had to stop walking to drink, but not to eat.

Yup was logged in for 1 h and it was very noticeable. Less and less incentives to log in again for me.

The animation priority changes are very poor. Abilities don't seem to be firing off as fast and bar swap canceling seems like it's a thing of the past now.

Poison Injection -> bar swap -> Ambush

Either my poison injection gets completely canceled or my ambush does. Very rarely have I reliably been able to pull off this combo since DLC. Before hand it was damn dear 100% accurate.

Please revert animation priority changes @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Im a bit angry since PTS feeadback on this was almost the same as what we are talking here now. At TG PTS they delayed it cause of bad feedback, but I have a feeling that now they just put in 2.3.4 version and ignored the bad DB feedback completly.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_JessicaFolsom We also havent received ANY news to why you want the change so bad that you are willing to introduce a system that EVERYONE in feeback thread on PTS said it is WORSE then what we HAD :'( on live and will just introduce new BUGs.
