    the solution of making the server essentially ping back confirmation checks has destroyed performance of ALL combat.

    the "getting rid of animation canceling" is just a side effect of them destroying their performance. not the reason for it.

    game got too disappointing.

    Every nerf and change killed this game to some of you. This change was asked for by many players for years.


    This bug was long needed to be fixed, and it is about time that they at last started doing it.

    The sad thing is, you all act like doing this glitch was so hard.


    Anyway, while you can cry and attack me about it. (lol i'm a casual that is laughable.). I will just go on and say I told you it was going to happen, and you all laughed and told me to accept that it is here to stay. Linked that failure of a dev who left the team all the time. Well look who got the last laugh?

    I mean to be fair, Doom, and animal crossing both got released. So that is more of a reason why.

    Sorry to attack you man, but your post is heavily opinionated. This conversation has been had countless times, ani cancelling was the backbone of combat in this game. If you dont like it dont go posting on the forums.

    I am glad they are making the game easier for you. Nice to see more roleplayers effortlessly able to clear more content and not die in 5 seconds..

    .. oh wait.. even if they remove AC you would die in 5 seconds anyway rip.

    Fair points, but you don't have to spend 10min in cyro (if you last that long without a DC) to move onto something else - I'm even getting massive lag spikes in dungeons (no add-ons, internet speed/ping tests all good) so yeah - I don't do more than horse training then go play something that works

    OP misunderstands. Much of what has been called animation canceling was nothing more than a desync between the client and the server with the server being the actual control. Yes, to the person doing animation canceling it appears the damage was occurring faster due to AC but in fact, that was the client providing information before the server said it actually happened. Hence, the player or NPC being attacked had not taken the damage yet.

    All that was changed is pushing control of the actual animation to the server-side which creates a different desync. However, the person doing AC well is doing their rotation at a much-improved efficiency than the person who has been incapable of doing AC. Those who get used to the timing of this different setup will still greatly outperform those who have never been able to AC. Granted, it is awkward and may be bugged.

    The link below has a video that explains this much better than I have.
