Weapon Swap unresponsive post patch-- just me?

david.haypreub18_ESO · June 2014

I hadn't had too much of a problem with the weapon swap delay before the patch, but one of my characters does now. Is it just me?

I have a sword-and-board/bow Imperial Templar, and the weapon swap button often fails to register. This problem is especially frequent if I am running and have the forward key down, but it also happens often when I am just standing around. It is not the delay-- I wait a couple of seconds and it still happens. Either the button fails to register (nothing happens) or it is a long delay; often, I still get the bow animations even though I have switched to sword and shield.

Odd thing is, it does not happen nearly as much for my destroy/resto Sorceror. This seems to be largely a problem for my Templar.

Anyone else having similar problems?

I should probably also note: I have switched the weapon swap key to 'c' and the display character sheet key to 'v'. I have some secondary bindings mapped too but none of them affect weapon swap.

i had this on my nighblade ever since beta, but now after this patch 1.2.3 it is worse then before.

I read the Weapon Swap cooldown was supposed to have been changed from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds (if I'm remembering correctly), so perhaps something went amiss?

It did seem rather....difficult earlier today.

Is it on all your characters or just one? For me, it seemed more of a problem for my Templar than my Sorceror.

Definitely report it. Seems to be a hit or miss issue. In game I've only really heard positive things about the new timing (people are noticing it's shorter). Forums obviously have some users reporting otherwise. Best thing to do is make sure you file a bug report in game.

Ahhh that explains it, I mean Templar's are just so way over powered it must be a stealth nerf

for me it felt more responsive, I did not have to repeatedly push the button to change, just one time and it wen smooth. First thing I noticed in combat, I were spamming weapon switch

Tried on two chars on 2 dual wield and other dual and staff.

Haven't tried much since update, but I've had this problem. Not just weapon swaps though, but with abilities. Gets me in nasty situations fast, but I deal with it. One small negative, IMO.

Ok, I just realized that the swap will not work when I am sprinting with the shift key and burning stamina. It will not work at all when I am sprinting. Once my stamina is used up and I am just walking, then weapons will switch again.

Is this a bug or a feature? I don't remember having a problem with switching weapons while sprinting before, but my memory could surely be faulty.

This is a feature, you can't weapon swap or use abilities while sprinting afaik.

Weapon swapping was more responsive and faster for me after the patch.

Ah, ok, thanks. I think that seems to be largely my problem. Will test again tonight.

In my experience,the cooldown reduction is really noticeable. But I found that it's still unresponsive at some times, but less that before the patch.

pinstripesc · June 2014

So far mine has been really pretty responsive since the patch.

this almost sounds like latency ... i do know tho they metioned messing around with pair change delays this patch could be busted too
