Fix Block.

SaRuZ

You broke it with Homestead. Everytime I block there is a 1-2 second delay and then block is held for 1-2 seconds before dropping shield(this is with a super fast trigger pull too.) I get that it could be exploited for animation canceling that's practically nonexistent on consoles, yet you support it and endorse it on PC, why make console players lives more difficult?

Block was my ani-cancel for super fast dismount and now it's ****ed.

Edit: It only happens when going from sheathed to unsheathed but still, it's VERY annoying.

This, so much this. That is all I used it for was to get off my mount and not screw around with holding the touch pad on PS4 which usually ended in me going to my map at the worst possible time. Please restore this feature.

Ummm that last bit of info you said is very important there. I would like to ask you, can you block an attack if you don't have your weapons out? And does it take any longer for you to put out other types of weapons than it does for a shield? Cause I seriously doubt it. There is no problem with blocking as I see it. Even on PC its the same, it takes a sec to get it out as well but its always been like that, unless you already have your weapons out its gonna take you a sec to take them out. And I know that animation canceling happens in Console too, so its not just for PC that its a thing.

Dismounting at high speed is really disconcerting because of this.

Yes, I can count bro.

It wasn't "Always Like This."

It didn't start until homestead update. I farmed 4 million in mats, I think I know.

It can also cause problems for tanking bosses if you get staggered and the block doesn't trigger when you actually start blocking. Had our tank get one shot a few times on Maw from this after his knock back.

For the dismounting, you can double-tap sneak and you'll dismount quickly like before, but block responsiveness being delayed like that has made riding around in Cyrodiil even more annoying than it was before.

I have not noticed this at all on PS4 yesterday TBH, and I ALWAYS sprint on my horse and block to hop off... haven't noticed any change.

It may be a bug then. That's better than a purposeful change.
