But I activated the potion...

Thogard

So potion lag/ bug has been annoying, and is nothing new. But I finally figured out why it bothers me so much more this patch than it did previously.

It’s the sound effect! This patch you can actually hear the sound effect even if the potion decides to be like “nah I’m not gonna let you use me after all”

Does anyone know what causes this bug? I can’t pinpoint a cause and it’s driving me insane.

If you were in a roll-dodge, so it's normal and nothing wrong. You must speak more clealry.

It seems like potions share a GCD with something. I’ve always had that feeling but I can’t pinpoint it

Exactly!

I'm more frustrated by activating an immovable potion only to be immediately stunned. Either I shouldn't have been able to activate the potion because I was stunned first, or I shouldn't have been stunned. Wasted potions are driving me crazy. This phenomenon only occurs with unblockable CC from what I can tell.

What? It has been like that for me forever? I will always get the audio from taking potion, wether or not it actually happens. If i spam the Potion while CC’ed, i will get the audio.

By now, i learned to just never trust the audio.

I can generate the potion audio if I hit the botton mid dodge roll or while stunned. It is very misleading since I rely a lot on the audio as a que for certain skills going off.

Potions were put on the Global Cooldown in Homestead or Morrowind if I recall correctly, although it might have been sooner. The sound effect is very much like Death Stroke & morphs being prevented; you hear the audio cue and you rely on that as an indicator as something happened (since sometimes you can't see anything). Then you hear it 20 more times after.

That was the first thing I tested. You can use potions while sprinting though.

Ok I’ll go test that again. If you’re wrong you owe me some speed pots :P

EDIT/Update; I'm wrong and @Brutusmax1mus is right, you cannot use potions while sprinting. Also can't use it while dodgerolling.

It's a client-side block. I need to lay off the skooma. i was 99% sure i tested that. Interestingly, the potion icon doesn't get greyed out when youre sprinting.

i wonder if there's a server side check on top of ht eclient side check, and that its getting cancelled fo rhte same reason skills get sprint cancelled.

You now owe him speed pots! wanna know what else still works in sprint? windrunner ;P

Really hate it when this happens. Don't even have to be sprinting. It does seem to share GCD with skills because I almost always never get potions when I need them in combat with the sound of potion pop but no effect almost always.

Betsararie

Same thing happen to me and threw me off.

Idk about this patch, but I'm sure I have been experiencing this for at least a year, but I'm thinking two years. And it annoying because I think it works cause of sound then I'm dead.

Old thread, same bug. I was so tired of it I ended up making an addon to fix that:
"Potion Taken Sound Fix"
