Do you like the new combat mechanic changes?

Just noting that my Stam DK is not liking the shield charge as well, even at Minimum Distance it feels like I am in "charge" for like 3-5 seconds and I'm literally like 2 steps from the enemy, is it working like this with others? Slow to the point that it feels sometimes you're actually watching the *** happen in slow motion?

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.

^^ This. So much.

The combat system is beautifully designed. The animations are/were beautifully designed. It's the overlay of the two that was always messed up. The solution was never redesign the combat system but simply speed up the animations to match exactly the tooltip of abilities. Note the speed up and not increase time on abilities. Players enjoy a fast pace in games. And while we're at it, bring back run speed and stealth speed please.

Can anyone report with regards to PvE?? And does anybody think that perhaps some of what you players are experiencing could be attributed to fixes with regards lag??

To me, a layman albeit, it would make sense to slow down animations in high latency situations in order to process those animations more reliably. As on the one hand people are reporting better performance in Cyro, we have other attesting that all animations, weaving, basically the ability to fire off more processes being reported as feeling forcefully slowed.

And does it feel the exact same on the lower latency campaigns?? Unfortunately I cant test being a console peasant...

@ZOS_BrianWheeler would much appreciate a logical explanation.

I suppose on my end it could be attributed to Lag, using Google fiber and it's never happened before like that but Meh it's possible. I went to shield charge someone last night and they had time inside my charge animation to Cast shuffle and crit rush me out of my charge. all this while I was Melee distance from him bleh, so much for pvp

Nobody enjoys animation exploiting, you do it because you have to while waiting for the game-developers to fix it.

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

Aww, animation cancelers are upset.

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.

SHOTS FIRED!! TAKE COVER!!

Talk for yourself. A lot of people enjoy animation cancelling because it adds a layer of skill while keeping combat highly dynamic.

As a Stam DK I actually need animation cancelling in PvP for burst damage since I don't have a reliable stamina class ability that can provide such a thing for me. WB used to be something that was reliable but as I play console for my stam DK I currently use dizzing swing to get use to the changes coming up; just played the game on PC and man not sure but my mag dk can't do animation cancells correctly either. My h attacks are overriding my skills and not firing sometimes which is annoying.

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?

Animation cancelation was an exploit ZOS had put on a low priority of fixing. All i can do as laugh as the serpent eats his tail.

Alagras

No one mentioned the sound, but i feel like very often now an anim-cancelled light attack produces no sound, making me wonder if it has landed at all (most times it seems it has from FTC reports)

Overall slower, sluggish, and less pleasant (didn't vote because of poll wording)

Edit: I understand they want to make animation-cancel evolute, system isnt perfect as one should always be able to see what he s hit with, but those last changes hurt the playing pleasure, please reverse them.

I don't like change . Change makes me stupid and uncomfortable .
