This to me is a confirmation that this block cancelling change had nothing to do about performance, but more rather about ZOS tearing down players that play at a high level. This company is obsessed with catering to the players that can barely play this game. They are balancing the game based around players with a very low amount of actions per minute. What games balance their game around the bottom line? This game had potential because of its combat system and that combat system was why many players continued to play over all these years. But what now? It's overly obvious Zenimax cares more about getting casual players online that buy big ticket items on their cash shop. This is a direct insult to it's loyal playerbase.

    First they screw up bash cancelling, now they are trying to destroy weaving. This has to be some kind of April fools joke right?
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    Whether or not this turns out to be an April Fools joke is going to be based on community outrage

    Looks like "APM" is going to be the new buzz phrase.

    The age of light attack spammers is finally coming. All those LA-spamming pugs I see as a tank will now be hardcore meta. ZOS, I cannot thank you enough for trying so hard to break my ESO addiction once again and make me move away to other games. :)

    They should get rid of weaving entirely. This change just makes weaving a sustain booster instead of a dps booster. People will just switch their race and gear to +power instead of +recovery and nothing will really change otherwise.

    These changes are so bad, they are killing their own game.

    You do realize that there comes a certain point where you building max damage does nothing to increase your damage. Especially since the game has been balanced PvP wise surrounding LA weaving. Meaning we get further into the tank meta

    The sad truth is, the bottom line that you speak of makes up for the majority of the playerbase

    Games super broken right now on all platforms. Eso+ not working for 3days on xbox now. And this is what resources get wasted on? Lol let's not fix what's messed up. Let's continue to bandaid the problem and when a bigger one arrives you will just forget about the other ones.

    So does every videogame. But you don't see OSRS artificially restricting the top players by changing how much you can do per tick. Or League of Legends making adjustments to champs for new players
