Heavy attacks auto canceling

dark_hunterxmg

Does anyone else have issues with heavy attacks canceling? I have noticed on numerous occasions that I will hold the command for heavy attack with the intention of continously attacking, but then my character will suddenly stop after a few heavies and just stand there doing nothing with the command still pressed.

I believe there is an interrupt happening at times from out of nowhere. If you have ever been to Cyrodiil and your riding along then get stopped from nothing, that is happening in the PVE area now. I have been running on the ground and got stopped then seen the circle rotating around me on the ground like I got some kind of effect. Just look the next time to see if you have the rotating circle under you.

Yes this does happen, I don't know why it seems random to me. I just repress the button but it is annoying.

The most annoying part is when I'm trying to use the fast heavy attacks in werewolf form and having to restart with the long heavy attack again. Throws off the whole rhythm.

Yup happens all the time for me to the point where where I get most of my damage from other skills and light attacks and only use heavy attacks to get stamina back or if I need the conal damage from berserker.

Yes! It's very annoying.

I also have the issue where the HA will not start up again when I press the button and have to move or dodge or do something else before the attack will function.

I have this problem too. Also when I charge to then cancel with a skill it cancels the heavy, like as if I never did it, then the skill may or may not fire. If it doesn't fire I get stuck in animation.

Happens with dual wield and with destro.

Yes that too! Just the whole HA thing not really working.

I was wondering if my keyboard button was dying and if i should put the skill on a different key! Glad to see it's not meeeeee

It's not just you! I didn't notice it as much until I started using a heavy attack build. Almost all of my damage on one of my builds is from heavy attacks, so when they don't work, it is very noticeable. Not to mention, when getting cc'd constantly, the window for opportunity is very very small, so missing can mean I'm dead.

Just checking in to report that Heavy Attacks are still not working correctly. It seems the issue has not been addressed.

dark_hunterxmg

Checking in again. This bug is still a thing. Some new info though. It affected me and another player at exactly the same time. Continuously heavy attacking, and the attacks stop while the key is still held down. No interrupt, no stun, no knock back, no pull, just standing there suddenly doing nothing.

Yup happens to me all the time it's very annoying.

I ran into a player running a set that seemed to be breaking mine, I am unsure which set for sure but I think perhaps Tarnished Nightmare or Null Arca. It was rather annoying since they sat at the spawn I was farming, after I got to a different instance it was fine.

JaxontheUnfortunate

Yeah this heavy attack bug is driving me nuts they only work at best 30% of time making it very difficult for me to play as a werewolf.

This heavy attack bug seems to get worse when there is a bigger population on the server. This event has made it even more difficult to use heavy attacks. I have to be laser focused on my character to make sure I'm not just standing there doing nothing. Can we get this fixed?

dark_hunterxmg

This heavy attack bug is still present after the update.

DeadlySerious

I've noticed this bug too, before and after U45, but it's worse now.

blktauna

Yup shuts off and is a bugger to restart.

@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_BrianWheeler Can we get some resolution on this?

dark_hunterxmg

The heavy attack bug is still present. We definitely need to get some acknowledgement on this.

Another day in ESO, another day where heavy attacks stop for no reason at all. Over and over again.
