Heavy Attacks acting up

sorcmag01

I can't play some end game content very well lately. I have been waiting for an update to fix this for a while now.

They're taking the EA approach, so you're going to have to subscribe or purchase a "weapons master" pass for the game, so your heavy attacks are smoother and more effective.

The "weapons master" pass is also per character...




I'm kidding but i do hope they fix the issue soon. I'm running a stamblade, so sustain can be an issue for stabby stabby characters, lol

Heavy attacks with a lightning staff is broken for me too!

PC EU heavy attack issue is still there.

haelgaan

still no update from ZOS? i'm getting tired of holding down mouse1 and just standing there looking stupid while i try to figure out if the attack is actually happening

and not being able to cancel mid-attack like we used to be able to do
and not being able to just keep the trigger/key/button held down and as long as we were still facing an enemy having heavy attacks continue (without needing to let go and then find an enemy and then press the button/trigger/key again. (this 2nd issue lowers DPS on heavy attack builds a ton and makes them not viable for most content in the game)

Has there been any kind of communication from developers on this issue? I'm too lazy to go through 6 pages of posts to see if there is anything from them. I am pretty much unable to play my main due to this issue and if it goes much longer without a fix, or at least an acknowledgement they are working on it, I probably won't stick around much longer. There is so so so much to love about this game but this one issue all but kills it.

I saw Kevin say once or twice the devs know about it but we've never heard any other detail that I know of about when it might be fixed or if they're just going to completely ignore it and it will never be fixed.

sonwon.1_ESO

Any ideas how we could get ZOS to address this issue?

malistorr

I would answer you but I'd probably get banned if I was honest. So I'll simply say no.

Xarc

same issue, mainly with restauration staff
pc, EU server

Tenthirty2

Wanted to throw my dart on the board too.
1. PC\NA
2. No ticket submitted

Lightning staff HA feels "stuck" cannot cancel once it begins.
Some skills on sorc and warden don't want to fire even after a couple key presses or feel delayed before firing.
Overall skill use in combat feels very clunky.
Not happening all the time, but often enough that it's noticeable.

Quick follow up, here. Our dev team is aware of this issue and looking into possible solutions. Two things would be helpful here.

1. What platform are you playing on?
2. If you have previously submitted a ticket for this, please let us know what that ticket number is. That way, we can send those over for any additional information the team may need. Thank you.

1. PC/NA
2. No ticket submitted. Just logged in and am seeing exactly what everyone else is. To specify: randomly, my character will be locked into a fully-charged heavy attack. Medium attacks turn into fully-charged; sometimes even a light attack will go into a heavy which really messes up skill weaving. I'm playing in PvP so this makes things much worse. I'm also just using an inferno staff.

How is that this could happen? The dev team is looking into "possible solutions"? Does someone not know what they're doing? This is a big break from I don't understand what source... Can we stop with the band-aids and triage the root of why this game is plagued by bugs every month?

PC EU. NO add ons


2. If you have previously submitted a ticket for this, please let us know what that ticket number is. That way, we can send those over for any additional information the team may need. Thank you.

To be honest, what’s the point with a ticket submission? This one submitted ticket about missing items, no reply. Submitted tickets about a Murkmire main quest bug, told the quest will be reset and the bug happened again. Submitted the ticket and then no reply. Sorry, this one appreciates what Kevin is trying to do, but the reporting system seems to be operating at less than optimal.

FWSWBN

new patch, NO FIX.

really ZoS?
this is such a poor behaviour, wich i never see in any other games.

2. No ticket.
Lightning staff: Sometimes my character will be locked into a fully-charged heavy attack, a light attack will go into a heavy.
Bow: Sometimes stuck in heavy animation

Noticed this as well. There have also been instances where I will charge them up and release early, but the animation continues without my finger on LMB.

Happens with restorationstaffs as well....

Grey_Wanderer

I thought my mouse was getting stuck, but it didn't happen in other games. I'm glad it's not just me!

1) PC NA; I use Map Pins, no other AOs

2) No ticket (see above). Happens regularly with lightning staff, getting stuck in a heavy attack even though I was using a light attack.

Succuby

Run in PVP in relequin and aether yestaerday - the same bug.

HA or do not start or do not stop so i can not stop HA to block or heal myself.

Even so kill other players.

I do not even believe that they even fix this bug, because there are some bugs already for 2 years, as example sorcs crystal fragment and some other skill just ignore protection of magma armor, just as example.

But if our main PVE sets get nerf after pts have good solution to it in PVP, very cancer that work even if HA works bad.

We are just to good that other say that we are OP if even HA do not work, sets get nerf and etc

So do not think that it will be fixed in near future.

We are just to good that win even with not working sets and HA, we are to good that peoples say we play OP sets and are low skills

So no need to fix balance, not working HA or skills. The game works this way already 2 years.

But when it was LA bug - it was fixed in 1-2 weeks ?

So i think you see real problem here do you ?

In my opinion there is way to much focus on light attack builds. I would like someone anyone to focus on making builds based on heavy attacks. This would be useful even if it is not meta damage.

Although maybe there is no point since ZOS is unable to fix this bug.

I still get this. 🙁

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Bug Reports section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.
