Hello, Let me start off by saying that i do not want animation cancelling removed from the game, lot of other MMO's have this mechanic ... with that said let's talk about Eso animation cancelling.

As of right now i animation cancel ... LOL i like more dps so i took the time to learn it ... in all honesty it didn't take long.

Sadly animation canceling felt like something that was hidden there are no in game tutorials to teach it. All my friends told me to just look up youtube vids ... for more players to be accepting of animation cancelling it needs to be acknowledged in game ... right now i feel like so many players don't use it and want it gone for this very reason, it feels hidden like a secret that everyone knows but is unsure if they want to hear it or not ...

Next .. ugh ... animation canceling as of right now is ... well ... ... it's done terribly it looks foolish and works wonky something i would think professionals would not keep allowing to work the way it works now ... sloppy ... it needs to be ...uhh ...improved upon ... don't remove it make it better, make it a part of the game and then teach it to your players set up a small tutorial.

Also ... i am not sure if this is true... but from what i read Zos didn't expect animation cancelling ... OK ... just because something pops up in your game that you didn't expect, don't mean you don't have to take responsibility for it. it's in your game. Now think on it ... improve it ... teach it ... own it!

I have a few ideas but i am not zeni ... so posting them ideas would be pointless.

Hello, Hmm nothing ... just nothing ... well i guess if no one cares, then it is fine the way it is ... i just wanted it to be a real mechanic. i always feel animation canceling can be done better.

Not just animation canceling, took a long time for me to use surge on my sorcerer. It had some impact on play from being scared of 3 mobs to pulling multiple public dungeon groups.

I actually feel animations used to be significantly smoother until one of their "improve animations showing" updates. That said I agree, some of it can look pretty clunky. I do wish they'd look into making attacks blend together smoother.

Far as in-game tutorial on that goes, we could never possibly have it for the same reason we can't have other nice things - people who don't like it would feel forced to play in a way they don't like and it'd ruin their immersion too hard for them to ever recover.
