No Animation/Yelling for Break-Free?

Hi all,
Today while i watching some good pvp clips from good pvp players such as Malcolm and Grimhallow,i realised they broke every single cc instantly and without animation or their char is not yelling while breaking it. With doing this you're having nearly 1 sec from animation. Everyone know its highly important to break a cc as faster as we can. But even we do it instantly we cannot use skills because of animation.
Now,i'll post the links of videos to discuss about it.
DO NOT FORGET TO WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS TO SEE CLEARLY. For every single cc they got,there is no animation and it FEELS LIKE its breaking automatically by an addon/macro/3rd party.But im not saying or blaming that they are using something. Its just doesnt feel right

Grimhallow;

Yes you can be fast as Road-runner or your muscle memory can feel it but,
at 2:15 you can clearly see there is no animation/yelling while you can hear the sounds from game.
also at 8:25 he's breaking-free the Ice Comet's knock and walking like there is nothing happened.
For every single cc from this clip, its same.


Malcolm;
http://https://youtu.be/YXm535OuYDU

at 0:15 you can clearly see he's breaking-free without animation and walking normally.
at 0:29 same
at 3:40 same
at 6:08 same
If you're gonna say me may be its a bug from folders/may be some data missing from game,watch 0:38 or 3:35,the animation works for the others but MalcolM himself.
Also watch all the clip,every single cc he got,breaking free without animation or yelling. And it feels like something breaking the cc automatically.

I'm not saying these players are cheaters. I'm also loving their contents and i know they're good players. But i want to know what is this.
Specially i wanna see something from an officer.
WHAT IS THIS?
HOW WE CAN DO IT?
IS IT FROM INGAME OR 3RD PARTY PROGRAM OR MACRO?

If someone knows something about canceling the animation of Breaking Free,please teach us if its legal for game.

Malcolm's last video with same problem. Again Break-Freeing without animation.

    First off the game is at its most broken state that it’s ever been. It’s very common to not see animations or sometimes even players until a few seconds after death.

    There are many times in both videos that you can clearly see them break free. The only times you can’t is with ice comet which has been buggy for quite a few patches. The only other time it wasn’t visible is when they were stunned for a few seconds so if they are using something to automate it then why would they let themselves be cc’d for so long.

    With that being said if you truly think they are cheating then report them, an officer does not owe you any explanation. If they are cheating(probably not) then they should get banned. If they aren’t cheating then you should get banned for false reporting and naming and shaming.

    First of all did we watch the same videos really? In those videos not a single cc broke-free normally but for your opinion everything is normal?

    I'm not gonna report any of these players for cheating because i believe its not. But something is also not clear,doesnt feel right. And you cannot say the game is buggy while the person getting almost 1sec advantage from it. And also as you can read,i'm not blaming anyone for using macro/3rd party programs etc.

    Just one of those things that if you tried to do it you wouldn't even break free and have to do it 20 times before dying anyway

    Lag at the time effects it. Also fears and some others are harder to break than say, a javelin. Other times this game just acts differently for random reasons.

    Often, most people need to breakfree several times in order to actually breakfree.

    I want to break free
    I want to break free
    I want to break free from your lies
    You're so self satisfied I don't need you
    I've got to break free
    God knows, God knows I want to break free.

    It is strange, you can see their stamina drain, so they're clearly using cc break. Notice that they remain motionless for about 1 second, so I think their cc animation just doesn't play.
    Doesn't look like it allows them to use skills instantly after being cced, so I doubt this is a form of cheating.

    Ahh i noticed those weird animations before and actually asked one of the players you mentioned above. He said he has no idea aswell :)

    But to be fair it looks different than it should be. I dont think it is cheating aswell but definitely something wrong with it. Normally character should open arms and hands or at least should yell. If you try to animation cancel doesnt matter how fast you do it or not, your character screams. Those characters in these videos just doesnt do anything. To me the way Malcolm just gets up and walks like nothing happened is just funny :smiley:

    On the other hand i never see ESO officials respond this kind of stuffs..

    Hey @Khazad_dum just responding now because I hadn't seen this. But this is not exploiting, it's just lag. All I do to consistently break free is 1. see when possible cc's are coming in (i know every CC in the game, and I pay attention to when I don't have immunity) 2. Bind break free to scroll wheel down so I can spam it just by rolling down.

    Not too hard. But it takes practice. Keep in mind that both Malcolm and I have thousands of hours of gameplay over the last 5+ years of maining this game. You should expect timely break frees.

    I know and follow both of you. You guys are solid, BUT both of you has NO ANIMATION at all. Specialy for Malcolm's,it happens also on his streams. Im not saying you guys are exploiting/macro/hacking but something is also doesnt feel right to me.

    I will keep that in mind and im gonna bind CC Break to scroll down and see what happens.
