DW HitBox and out of Sync

kylewwefan

Is just me or have your DW hits been off lately? I play a lot of different characters, but my DW has been seeming just off lately. There’s like a delayed reaction and in combat I’ve been getting slowed way down for some reason. In delves, it acts mostly alright, but in dungeons or Maelstrom or trials, it’s been real buggy.

Maelstrom has its own list of buggy ness. Mobs in the ground, crazy snare, wrong mobs spawning. In cradle, somehow mob got knocked into a wall and couldn’t kill it to open gate to progress.

2H has been jacked up too. Light or heavy attacks don’t connect half the time. Crit rush places you about 6 feet behind mob you hit.

My characters just don’t feel responsive to their controls.


It was like this some time ago, and they ended up fixin it, but it’s back big time now.

Its not just you. My dw has been off lately aswell. Im having major issues cancelling light attacks and my heavy doesnt even work 50% of the time. I literaly have to click-hold-release my button multiple times before i actually get one to work.

That’s it exactly. The hits don’t connect right. I haven’t been sure if I’m too close or too far away from target.

This, absolutely this. I main a DW character and the amount of times that my hits just simply don't register is getting annoying. I typically start my rotation with endless hail, caltrops, and then the front bar of DW abilities and more often than not they simply don't register. If I am too close, slightly at a different level (like not on stairs or a hill, but the ground is uneven), or even in the optimal distance, nothing. Not sure if it is lag or input delay or something server side but it is getting worse all the time and is especially bad now.

I've had this problem with Heavy Attacks. Sometimes, they just don't go through and my character just stands there awkwardly.

Ok... so people need to start posting videos with evidence otherwise ZOS will not address it. Simply stating, 'this isn't working' without actual video evidence never attracts a response.

I’ll have to work on a video later. It’s kind of a pain on console. Perhaps they could play the game for a few minutes and see for themselves?

I will do that very thing, for what it's worth how do we know if it is a bug, an issue, lag, etc.? I understand if they don't know they can't fix but this seem par for the course.

So I'm a DW Mag user and for the last few weeks at least I've definitely noticed that melee attacks dont connect

I use em to proc a enchant or poison. And assumed the problem sat with them, but the actually base attack / hit / sound effect is not happening alot of the time

Also @Emma_Overload started a thread about CFrags doing something funky if someone is too close to you. Again I've only noticed that recently really

I wonder if something's changed in hit boxes etc

@ZOS_GinaBruno maybe move this to Bug Reports, do we need to do anything else to flag it for review?

I have also started getting this occasionally for maybe the last month or so. It always begins after a death and will persist until either another death or a zone change.

I would describe it as losing the ability to heavy weave and have only noticed it on my StamDK DPS dual wield bar. I will hit a skill then immediately hold the LMB (left mouse button/attack button) to start charging a heavy for my rotation, but after the skill fires my char just stands there. The only workaround I have found is to double click and hold the second click of the LMB, though this will still hurt your dps output quite a bit over a long boss fight. It also adds one more annoying thing to juggle along with standard mechanics.

I'm not sure how much in-game footage will help, it will just look like you used a skill and then didn't press anything else.
It's very frustrating.
