Am I imagining this?

ESO has always seemed very unresponsive to me, even when accounting for ping. I average 90-110 ping, so it isn't that bad, but there was always a pronounced delay in casting spells, assuming they'd cast at all. I took up spamming the cast buttons to assure the spell is used. I've noticed this since beta, and while I'm usually more observant of such things than most people, I'm sure I'm not alone.

I've noticed a huge change since the DB update. Every spell I cast seems to fire off as quickly as I can press the buttons. It seems more responsive than ever. That is except for ultimates, which are apparently bugged and decide not to cast half the time. I've played long enough post-patch to verify that this isn't just a fluke. My spells always cast and there is no pronounced input delay.

I of course can't prove that this is happening but I'm certainly feeling a difference. The only real piece of sort-of-evidence I have is that my sustain was fine pre-patch and is absolute garbage post-patch, with no listed notes that could account for it. I can only assume I'm just getting more spells out.

I know there was a change to animation prioritization but I'm not sure if that applies to what I'm seeing. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

I'm on XB1 & I've been having the same trouble with the Ultimate's as well. I've also been having trouble with the the light and heavy attacks not registering all the time even though my cross hairs on target. Switching between the two attack bars has been really slow as well.

That's good to know. I'm on PC and have not had any issues with swapping or using light / heavy attacks, but the ultimate problem seems to be universal.

If you are a sorc or a templar, or if you have a ultimate cost reduction stuff, or if you use vampire ultimate : ultimate cost reduction is buggued, you won't be able to fire any ultimate without the max cost.

Weapon swapping on xb1 is terrible.

I know what you mean. I have mostly spent the last few days reworking some toons, but the few dungeons I have run felt like someone had turned off slow motion.

Glad someone else noticed something was different. The other discussion here is useful, but I was starting to think my intent for the thread had been lost!

Also, great info on the ult cost thing. That would explain a lot. I am in fact a Templar.
