Is ZOS pulling a fast one over the Light Attack changes

Hear me out....
ZOS are desperate to show performance improvements after all they have been promising this for ages.
If LA weaving is less important to high dps and people are now having to Heavy/Medium Attack Weaving - Overnight they have almost halved the amount of traffic between the server and the client.
This is backuped by the way ZOS in the first paragraph of the recent pts notes highlight the fact they main priority is performance and in the third paragraph go on about "Players with high Actions Per Minute (APM)"
So by dumbing down the combat they are hopping they will get a performance boost, probably in the same way they hoped the block changes would give a boost as block cancelling no longer worked. Only problem due to their execution, the block cancel changes seams to of made performance worse, so they are doubling down with these currently proposed changes.

✭✭It is coming to a point to delete the servers for getting rid of lag I guess.
Block changes did not solve anything. In fact now you can not see yourself blocking you just stand there like a dully and wait to see whether it is registering it or no.
Imagine a game can not fixing block animation. In 2020.3 -
Saelent✭✭✭✭✭It isn’t dumbing down in combat though...it’s actually closer to what things were a while ago...2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The difference is not half as basic attacks is only part of the timeframe. The skill still requires ~1 second GCD and that part is not changing. I would expect a slight increase in performance but not what OP is suggesting.
Also, OP is very off base about dumbing down combat. Top players have considered the changes Zos made to basic attacks back in Morrowind. These are the players who adapted to those changes bringing about the LA weave meta so they did not get left behind. However, they had the insight to see how it hurt the game as a whole as it drove a wedge between them and most of the rest of the players. It was a dumb idea back then, still is.2 -

✭Maybe they're giving everyone something else to complain about in the hopes that we'll stop complaining that the game is almost completely unplayable right now.ZeniMax has no obligation to correct any errors or defects in the Services.
Greetings! We've closed this thread due to its non-constructive nature.
