Anyone else finding that HA/LA's not working at times?

    I experienced that this morning. I played a bit before work. It felt like my staff HA/LAs weren't always going off as expected, but I wasn't sure if it was the game or my brain waiting for the coffee to kick in.

    I've played since beta without any significant breaks, so I know how combat feels to me, and the HA/LAs felt different this morning, like I was struggling to get them to fire sometimes.

    Mine stops working completely at times and nothing I can do brings it back. It just randomly works again.

    I've had it where weapon swap will just STOP too... for a few seconds during combat... so I have to repeatedly hit the button until it actually swaps.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one having the weapon swap issue.

    Yeah LA/HA, as well as bar swap, isn't working great.

    I have been having an issue after weapon swapping.. I thought it was lag though.

    Was experiencing this as well were heavy attacks wouldn't go off or bar swap would stick and I'd have to press multiple times for it to work. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    My light / heavy attacks are not working at all. Stopped in the middle of doing a quest. The mouse works fine, I can do every else EXCEPT light or heavy attack. When I press the mouse button that is bound to 'attack' (RMB), my character just stands still.

    I tried re-binding 'attack' to a different button (tried the LMB, also tried to bind it to a key button) but no matter what I did, the 'attack' command won't go off (no heavy, no light attacks).

    I did a reloadui and that didn't fix it. I quit the game and then restarted it, and that didn't fix it. I ran the repair option under 'game options' and that didn't fix it. NOTHING fixes it.

    EDIT: Figured out the problem -- it was MEND WOUNDS. It's a friggin toggle (completely slipped my mind) and you have to press it a second time to exit the skill ... once you do that your light/heavy attacks work just fine. Soooo, now that I've completely humiliated myself, I think I'll just go back to playing the game ... well, after I wipe all the egg off my face. LOL!

    Might be a separate issue, but aiming channelled staff attacks became less precise. I need to catch the target in the crosshairs more than a couple of times for the channel to go off.

    Soft lock seems to prioritize critters again at times, for some reason.

    Yesterday i had the same behaviour during questing in Summerset.

    First i was thinking i am to stupid to press my left mousebutton, but it wasnt me :)

    LA and HA are extremly delayed, sometimes nothing happens.
    For me, Barsweep was okay.. not good, but okay.

    I played with a sorc, Shock and Firestaff.

    Want to add i am playing on PC - EU

    Cheers
