Light Attacking is Broken? (and animation priority)

Pomaikai✭✭✭✭✭
✭Want to know an easy test to see if light attacks are weaving correctly with jabs? Equip poisons in PVP. I can vouch that it's broken. I think I used about 20 poisons in a week of heavy PVP. That screams broken louder than anything else I can think of.4 -

SlayerTheDragon✭✭✭✭✭From South Africa we get 220 -280 ping. But this has never been an issue (although it sucks).
For about a week now it seems as if, block doesn't just cancel the animation, it cancels the ability as well.
I also have heavy attacks locking (they don't fire when I execute another skill as they always did).
Ultimate's don't fire directly (possibly an anti hacking function?).
In short WTF is going on?¤═══¤ People don't like it when you talk to them with your weapon drawn ¤═══¤3 -
AlcastClass RepresentativeLight Attacking is not the only issue.
Sometimes I spam Steeltornado and literally NOTHING happens, then all of the sudden 3 go off at the same time. Same thing with Puncturing Sweeps/ Biting Jabs.Edited by Alcast on June 22, 2016 9:12AMhttps://alcasthq.com - Alcasthq.com Builds & Guides

Yes, block-cancelling is definitely off, but I have felt it was that way ever since TG patch TBH.SlayerTheDragon wrote: »From South Africa we get 220 -280 ping. But this has never been an issue (although it sucks).

Block-cancel your spectral bow too fast and you even see your character raising her hand to fire the bow (for like a split second), bow special-ability is spent but bow doesn't fire (no damage).
Same for block cancelling Ultimates too fast (like Dawnbreaker) - heck after DB, I could even see the particle effect for Dawnbreaker fire at times but no ulti spent and no DB firing. <--- very bad
Also - light-attack weaving with poisons equipped messes up the weave priority (skill will NOT override light attack) if the poison procs. You have to wait for the stupid particle effect form the poison to animate before the skill goes off.
Overall very, very clunky combat.
Haven't tested all of these on EU server (where I have decent ping) but I would not be surprised if they are all broken like this, because I know staff weaving feels clunky. Not as clunky as in high ping but still bad (in comparison to how it was before).2 -

✭✭✭✭✭New fantastic bug I am seeing is being stuck in animation. Great fun, whats up with combat, why was there even a change?#MOREORBS2 -
Cherryblossom✭✭✭✭✭
✭I'm not just seeing the light attacks not happen and a graphical horror show, I'm also seeing when they do happen they fail to connect!
it would be nice for this to be fixed.

Yes, I am continuously getting stuck in animations now. I have to run around like a headless chicken until it cancels. Quite good fun at first, but... Getting worse.1 -
akredon_ESO✭✭✭✭Really hope we get an update soon on this because i feel its making the game little bit more annoying than it needs to be

I have exactly the same problem with my 150ping, after casting a few dots (which I all cancel usually), fire blockade is almost impossible to cast. If you cancel it like usual, the entire skill just gets replaced by a short block. You have to wait until the animation starts (thats about 0,5s after the last skill and a huge dps loss).
Also heavy attacks often charge to full and fire off then, this is very ugly in msa since you can't cast another skill then and you get killed often.
Oh and I've already casted an Ulti, seeing the ulti counter go to 0, swapping bars and the ulti vanishing, being back up again
I pay 2500crowns for a dlc but I'd gladly pay 5k for a fix on this... It's really making a decent rotation impossible and it takes away alot of fun when you're constantly struggeling no to mess up your rotation0 -

Its such a noticable downgrade to the responsiveness and flow of combat I dont get why people arent more up in arms about it. I suspect its because so many stam users went from LA + instant attack (class skill) weaving to HA + channeled attack (rapid strikes) weaving where the issue doesnt come up.Edited by khele23eb17_ESO on June 26, 2016 9:14AMP2P offered you 'hell yeah!' moments.

✭✭Could've sworn this was also an issue last patch, but either way, I've been playing destro NB lately and light attack weaving has been extremely sluggish. Half of them don't actually happen. Kind of a gameplay breaking thing when they have a system in which ultimates rely on the buff you get from light attacking.2013

✭✭✭✭✭Hi @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Was something changed in the Live maintenance that we just had? The animations are a lot cleaner than previous and my attacks are actually hitting now and not getting stuck in animation. Do you have any word if something was changed?
edit: it's not as good as it was, but its pretty decent fixEdited by Nifty2g on June 28, 2016 4:27AM#MOREORBS1
