Do you like the new combat mechanic changes?

NyPetiwowp

Doing the new quests and PvPing since the patch I figured out that now it takes more time to light attack cancel and bash cancel. The worst is the light attack + wrecking blow what I've experienced so far.
With these stupid changes I feel that just every skill goes off much slower, and I feel my character so inefficient, I feel impossible to 1vX in this patch, however I could easily fight multiple enemies in the previous patch.
Please tell me guys how do you feel the combat since the last patch?

Aww, animation cancelers are upset.

No, the skills and animations are noticeably slower and I feel less efficient in combat.

really dislike the new animations. Leap is completely borked. reverse slice feels more like my toon stumbled then he actually swang something.This was a step in the wrong direction in many ways.

animations feel slower and less responsive somehow, not to mention ultis getting stuck

Abeille

Yes, I can use all my skills just as easily and fast as in the last patch.

It noticed little to no difference, but I guess that being used to having high latency at all times might have something to do with it.

I dont see any melee cancelers having any issues as i am currently being spammed to death before i can react properly as always. I can say this though, i have noticed a HUGE positive change in lag and fps drops during large battles in pvp. So i love that fact at least lol

My skills seem kinda laggy now, much less responsive: for example, I had to literally spam ultimate button to drop my ulti.

Your signature is:

Every human being not going to the extreme limit is the servant or the enemy of man and the accomplice of a nameless obscenity.

And yet you're making snarky comments against players who push themselves to pump out every last bit of output from their characters, within the framework they are given to work with. So which is it? Are you a hypocrite or just slow in the head?

Edit: And ZOS, this is what happens when you try to fix what ain't broke. You caved to the QQ and ruined the best part of your game in the process- exactly as so many told you would happen. Well done.

It's sluggish as hell.

Cazic

I like the new animations overall. Yes things feel a little slower, but they did this so that it's easier to identify which animations are going off during hectic combat. It will likely take some getting used to, it's only the first couple days so not surprising that some people are upset because it feels "slow".

To people voting yes

This video shows just normal light attacking and then "weaving" light attacks with an ability, you start to see the light attack start locking and wont go off after awhile. You also notice there is a considerable amount of delay between light attacking and using your ability
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nijDv8gxV0

This video is a replicate of the first video, you see that the abilities start to lock up and interfere with each other after the same amount of time.

This last video is what I am experiencing whenever I am trying to play, all my abilities are locking up, and bugging out as well, my light attacks barely go off and they stop my casts at some point.

Compare it to something from last patch

Forumer-in-Prison

Definitely slower.

Seems to me it's more efficient now to button mash fast cast skills like Funnel health instead of Light weaving Concealed Weapon.

Kilandros

No, the skills and animations are noticeably slower and I feel less efficient in combat.

Why--WHY--would they degrade combat like this? It's one of the few GOOD features in this game.

WHAT THE F

DerAlleinTiger

Yes, I can use all my skills just as easily and fast as in the last patch.

As a PvE tank, it actually felt like my heavy attacks were charging fully just a bit faster. Combined with some of the sped up abilities, it feels even faster overall to me.

GeorgeBlack

I hate using AC.

Now it's more like CANCEL ANIMATION PERIOD.

Two things. Most other mmorpgs that I have played had blocking and roll dodging. None of the Class skills were broken animations.

Secondly to those that support AC because it favours total DPS. Gamers that depend on ability instead of spreadsheet calculations, stats/builds/numbers will always be better than you. And their pvp videos are more exciting. Well... in other games. Not in Elder Spreadsheet

Other: ZOS should not have animations which are longer than cast times in the first place. If you want it to take longer, say the cast time is longer.

Solid_Metal

No, the skills and animations are noticeably slower and I feel less efficient in combat.

iam not an animation cancel-er, but the combat indeed feel much slower and sluggish, especially with 2 handed weapon

and gap closer skill like critical rush feel much much slower and floaty

i really dislike it

You people should have seen it comming. They are removing things players enjoy. It's almost as if they want people to leave the game. Just look at the test dummy NPC. Such a handy feature, and many players utilizing it, since ZOS has yet to give us actual dummies. Then they remove it. Then they slow down combat even though that was one of the best features of the game.

I think ZOS is killing ESO on purpose.

Dang you nailed it. ZOS hates our money and wishes we would all just go away.

Well, apparently the framework has changed.

Although Id rather they decided on one option and stuck with it. Either have AC, and have it work well or remove it completely.

I welcome whatever changes that make the stupid animation cancelling unworkable. I know and I do animation cancelling but this mechanic is just stupid.

From stam dk point of view, it feels alot smoother with light atk rotations in between flurry and dots, even better with bow light atks between autocast ground dots

RavenRoxie

I like that some of the skills, like some bow skills, have healing aspects to them, helps ALOT!

John_1999

No, the skills and animations are noticeably slower and I feel less efficient in combat.

the combat feels so slow, sometimes I don't know what happen. I don't feel I have full control over my char.

Some examples I have experienced last night.

Topling Chrage: Sometimes I bypass enemies 3 to 5 meters, than I hit them. And it is slower.
Dawnbreaker does not work sometimes, after pressing it multiple times.
My Dawnbreker procs with delay.

Please Zenimax give us the old combat system back, it was so much fun, it was so smooth, so fast.

Stoltverd

Animation cancelling was so easy that i thought it was part of the game by design.
I learned to "weave" by myself in PvE, and did it naturally. I didn't know the name until a guild mate told me.
It makes the combat feel so fast, so powerful, SO GOOOOOOOD.

Johngo0036

Yes, I can use all my skills just as easily and fast as in the last patch.

I run all the time with a latency of 250 upwards and doing animation cancelling with this kind of latency is impossible,

I am kinda glad that animation cancelling is not working as it was as now i kinda stand a chance against it.

Mayrael

TBH i didnt noticed any changes to animation cancel, maybe its because i mainly cancel with block.
