Blade of Woe Less Responsive?

I saw in one of the recent Patch Notes (Oct. 22 I think) that the Blade of Woe was changed to stop people from getting stuck in spots. However now using the Blade of Woe is way less responsive for me. I have to press X multiple times before the action fires because my sword and shield have to be out for some reason now too(crouching off the horse automatically stows weapons). A lot of the NPCs walk making it more time consuming and less fun than it used to be. Is it like this for anyone else?

    I noticed it being laggy before the update. I think its lag. .

    Running around behind npc spamming the x button. Normaly I can just press one time.

    Also noticed getting bounty a lot more pickpocketing. Having to,spam that as well. By the time the input is registered the npc change back to hard to pick pocket.

    Has it then? I took a break mid October after reaching the 250k for the Witch house. After the break from using the Blade of Woe, today I noticed the big difference with it. I searched the forums and google to see if other people had this issue but found nothing. So I then checked the Patch Notes of the maintenance and saw that it was changed on the Clockwork City Maintenance on Oct. 22.

    Another thing to mention is that pick pocketing puts away your weapons. So needing to draw the weapon to use the blade of woe is a little nuisance on every NPC I rob. This time adds up too if you max out your Fence off of the NPCs.

    I don't know how serious or frequent the players getting stuck bug from using the Blade of Woe, but if the Blade of Woe was changed to be a lot slower for everyone, I hope there is another way this could be fixed.

    Wow, the one second it takes to hit the keybind for "unsheathe", console button, or mouse double-click. That is really a difference-maker when fences are open 24/7.

    First off it still jams a little when it is unsheathed and it causes you to get caught more too. So it doesn't affect you then if you are on 24/7? Good to know.

    :/ Isn't there a pill for that?

    I personally do not have a blade of woe, though I do need batteries every so often for my, ummm controller. :*

    Imagine attacking someone because they are experiencing a potential bug. What is your problem?

    Im having the same issue, but it seems to just be with my NBs which makes the least sense! I have encountered this issue with lag/delay with pick&stick all year I think, but it was inconsistent and I think happened with all my classes. I thought maybe it coincided with heavy traffic. Then in October it seemed to fix itself on all my characters except for my nightblades, and ofcourse they are the ones that are supposed to be the slickets yet now they are the ones that get caught pickpocketing the most :/

    X? My default is Y+B, same as for synergies...and for vampire feeding, which is the most annoying thing ever when you are trying to stay in Stage IV. I should kill that keybind.

    ...to be honest, I haven't done enough assassinations in the past couple of months to be completely certain, however on the ones I have done I did not notice any unusual lag or delay. I did notice that "corner" kills work now, at least some of the time, whereas before I'd get the sound effect but the animation wouldn't trigger.

    So no, I haven't noticed anything that the OP is referring to. But that does not mean that there are no problems, because I cannot claim to have killed thousands of people from a dozen accounts in three different geographic locations in the past week to test it.
