Animation Cancelling (Possible Fix?)

rosendoichinoveb17_ESO

The other option would be to rise the GCDs to match the skill animation times but I don't think anyone would like this change.

How does one knowing this over one not knowing this make you a better player? It's about your rotation and ability to change your rotation use mid combat depending on situation.

While I'm not a huge fan of animation canceling, removing it would make combat feel clunky. You would have these huge delays between attacks and skills, and it would make the overall combat feel worse.

Many folks mistake animation canceling for lag. This game has a lot of lag and the ping indicator in game is not accurate. I have had in game ping read 80 while Windows resource monitor is showing a true ping of 300 (these spikes caused by a large keep Battle on the other side of the map)

Most of the skills all hitting you at the same time is not animation cancel problems, it's lag.

Eso has the worst combat system ever.
And it's the players fault for embracing AC. Because of that Zos won't fix it.
I would AC to the point it gets cancerous for AD and DC if i was playing from EU or US and if I wanted to copy the classic builds since Zos isn't fixing it. But oh well sucks to be me. Sucks not to be a sheep.

As for the smooth combat bullshiet go see other games that skill aninations are beautiful and dont glitch and they work just fine with block roll dodge counter-attacks

And while I'm having a rant: tank used to mean that you have high defensive abilities and with CC you could tire down your target. (Not sustain and burst.
Roque meant that you go in and out during war dealing quick damage but avoid attracting focus (not sustain and burst)
Warrior used to be a character that dealt and received dmg evenly. (Not sustain and burst).
Mages used to be either ranged nuke types or CC and buff/debuff types. (Not sustain and burst.)

Then ESO made an mmorpg

idk

@GeorgeBlack While everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when stating Zos will not fix it because players embraced it I ask you to provide information to support that.

ESO has the best combat in MMOs IMO, though I understand you disagree and curios why you play ESO with your opinion. I am so glad it is not stale combat like in SWTOR, WoW and Neverwinter. Smooth combat has nothing to do with animations. Does one think a gunner has to wait for the round to hit it's target before firing again? Obviously not.

With that, because each of us have primary responsibility for our survival regardless of it being PvP or PvE, where most games it is the healers job to keep us alive, unless we are standing in big stupid. A part of the reason I like the game combat.

To eliminate AC would be to eliminate our ability to block in a timely manner which is why I expect AC is here to stay. It is the most logical reason.

Oh and one more.
Play as you will? Son you better go and copy that build to get your stats right for that DPS. Skill in combat has nothing to do here. It's just numbers here.

I am enjoying Eso. In fact I got 5 friends of mine to start here even though I did quit 13 months ago. I don't complain about Morrowwind costs, or why there are DK NPC in Dominion and what their connection to akaviri is, nor I demand they open map locations that lock after you finish an easy 10min quest JUST BECAUSE I WANNA ROLEPLAY. What is this RP? The new I'm a vegan?

But I am honest like the author is asking us to be. AC is ugly looking and in combination with the resource management combat system it makes any sense of Classes and combat roles irrelevant. Every build is sustain (copy paste online builds numbers and stats) and burst (animation cancel). No skill just a day or two in cyro to learn to time your glitch looking attacks with gear procs.

Oh and if u don't have a perfect connection to EU and US you are a nab because your AC skill cannot deal 26k dmg in half a second. Due to ping.


Calling it as it is.

And for the last time other games have block roll dodge counter-attacks and evasive attacks but no cancelled animation for skills and hits. The game with the BEST BY FAR combat system and mechanics was released back in 2011.
Trials there were also much more fun than spam aoe trash mobs and Dot and hit main Boss.

Why I play eso then? Weak argument. Read the above post.

I sincerely wish that ZOS would make a test server just for a bit with no cancelling on it. THEN YOU WOULD ALL SEE JUST HOW STALE COMBAT WOULD BE WITHOUT IT. seriously, cancelling is such an integral part of combat. If hey remove it you would feel like your playing a dumbed down slow and clunky version of ESO.

This. Can we please stop slowing down the game every patch thanks. Baiiiiiiiii
