Skills in Vivec should lose 3 second cast time.

Syhae

I've been pvping on the occasion in Vivec lately around 8pm EST. Got to say, I find it really strange that this server has a cast time/delay for every skill in the game. Personally I think this is a horrible campaign mechanic and really hinders the possibility of getting really good quality PvP that Vivec could have to offer.
Hopefully this could get looked at in the future. I know myself, and multiple people that I play with every night have personally agreed to stop playing the Vivec campaign and have moved to Shor simply because of this.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, would love to get some constructive feedback from my fellow PvP community members on if they enjoy Vivec's 3 second cast time rule during prime time or not.

I believe that is known as the, "lag debuff." There is no known cure.

Hmm, that's interesting. Do you happen to know if this debuff can be purged? I main a Stamina Templar and one of my skills allows me to remove said debuffs! I have not tried removing this "debuff" however I shall do some testing in-game tomorrow and see for myself.

The fix for this would be to use the Psijic Undo skill on the lighting patch

Have you tried purchasing "instant cast ability" tokens from the crown store?

This is an interesting suggestion. Sadly it's been more than 4 seconds so we'd probably end up somewhere around Homestead.

I for one have really some to appreciate the 3-second delay on skills because it gives me the perfect opportunity to look if my fingers are on the right keys, or a simple time-cushion to carefully consider which skill im going to attempt to fire off next. Since i play a stamplar, it also gives me an additional challenge due to my jabs not being able to fire off at an appropriate time, which makes it a fair and interesting fight for both my opponent and myself. To add to the conversation, how do you feel about the 3 sec delay when trying to take a resource? I really love me a good fight with the guards, makes it feel like you're really in a war zone.

You can't have a negative cast time. This doesn't even make sense. You want to cast abilities in the past?

I agree, some moments it truly does feel like an immersive war zone, where everything is going in slow motion due to the adrenaline rush of battle, allowing me to ponder for a few moments before I use my next ability. Some times I prefer the fast action response of campaigns such as Shor though. This is an interesting perspective though!

This is just an "undocumented adjustment for combat balance" that is being tried on a specific area for testing purposes for the dev's. Nothing to see here, move along.

Been fighting for this for years

I think they should nerf the cast time to at least 10 seconds
