My block/bash cancel works perfectly fine, LA not to much... Its strange that there is so many people saying that they cant animation cancel even with block...

Animation cancelling hasn't been touched

Btw zos I can barely play with this, it locks my Templar during execute and holds their arm in the air and can't attack. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom
Please is there any updates on this issue

Nifty2g · June 2016

I can't play any of my magic builds because animations suck with a staff, and less suck with dual wield. So I'm pretty much forced to go play stamina, damn this stamina patch there is almost 0 reasons to play as a magic build now.
I know about 3 or 4 people who have quit though because of the animation system change lol. I understand too, I can barely play it

1. Our Combat and Animation Team are unable to replicate this bug, please make sure your PC matches the game's system requirements and check your internet connection.

2 weeks later.....

2. We think we have isolated the problem but we need to do some more testing.

2 weeks later.....

3. We think we have found what is causing this and we are now working on a fix but it will not be implemented until the next major update.

2 weeks later....

4. Sink and close any threads that mention or refer to this problem.

8 weeks later....

5. We are still working on a fix for this but it will not make it into this major update but will come some nebulous future time afterwards. By the way there's a new Daedric Camel on the crown store for only 4000 crowns.

@Nifty2g I feel your pain, or at least I will when this patch hits live for console. Hopefully it'll be fixed on PC by then so consoles will only have to wait like 4 weeks or so after they resolve it to see a fix. I definitely won't be playing my nightblade in PVE once DB drops because of this.

On the other hand, it should make VMA more fun, you know, since they balanced it around light attack weaving and animation cancelling. SMH.

Let's be real guys...they sucked all our money out of us now they don't care how they're game is or even have the decency to keep us updated.

TheHsN · June 2016

We've tracked down what we believe is the cause for Light Attacks and general ability rotations feeling off since the Dark Brotherhood patch and are currently investigating.

Thank you for the updates

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom its good ot know its being worked on

khele23eb17_ESO · June 2016

Lets just hope this isnt like the jumping bug, where you lost running/sprinting momentum when you jump. They tracked it down and 'fixed it', by which I mean they reduced it somewhat.

Slayyer-AUS · June 2016

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Thank you will there be an eta?

Wait there isn't supposed to be a momentum loss when jumping during sprint? WOW LOL Never would have known because my toon and my toons mount act like disabled fools when I jump while sprinting... It's very annoying.

ETA on what? They are just "investigating" doesn't mean anything. Could take months if ever to get this improved.

Thank you so much Jessica!! *tearsofjoy*

Nifty2g · June 2016

Is this what the issue is @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you pass this along to the animation team please.

(watch my skill bar for when im pressing skills)

If you put away your weapon jump up and down while casting abilities nothing happens until you stop, do we now have a queue system in which takes priority?

I really hope we can revert all of the animation changes/priority system that was introduced. This feels extremely unresponsive, it never used to happen like this

Here's another example of this happening, in a low ping environment. This is absolutely destroying all enjoyment in combat, vMA is near impossible to what it used to be despite numerous class buffs/etc. Please just revert to the old animation system, it wasn't broken. This is coming from someone who had nothing but praise of the PTS, I thought combat felt more fluid and natural, but one step into a high load combat situation and I can see that is the exact opposite.

Slayyer-AUS · June 2016

I still wonder how they let this go live lol

Whatzituyah · June 2016

I think animation priority should be a thing because its better than dying in 2 seconds not seeing what hit you because of macros. If there is something "off" sure they can fix it but I would prefer to see what I am getting hit by than having no delay.

My 2 cents

No one uses macros its just an excuse, macros are almost impossible to do in this game due to lag, anything with a complicated script is almost near impossible to get off.

Not sure why you would support this combat change, but each to their own. It'll happen when your abilities get all locked up and you cant do anything

Whatzituyah · June 2016

@Nifty2g Lets face it they can't do animation priority without an input delay as a result its just unrealistic. What they going to do speed the animation up to light speed and make it look like a fight in Dragon Ball Z anime?

Revert it back to what it was?

But that defeats the purpose of implementing Animation Priority. If they do that people playing pvp can't see whats coming. I really hope there is a happy medium but I can't see that happening.

P.S. Animation is also a piece of art would you like to see a black and white Mona Lisa? Without color it would make it look dull and boring.
