The old weapon swap. Never forget.

Strange. Am I the only one who remembers bar swapping being totally unresponsive and as a result you would think you didn't swap and hit the swap button a second time only for the bars to double-swap on you and you are back to where you started, repeat ad nauseum?

This.

I honestly thought this was a flashback thread talking about how screwed up weapon swap was 'back in the day.'

There was only about a one or two patch period where they completely removed the CD from weapon swap, which is what people in the thread are talking about. Both before and after that it was/is a huge pain in the ass.

I would love for everything to work perfectly but it sounds like you want to trade one problem for another more annoying problem.

Client-side means that you don't wait for server approve that bar has been swapped, which actually solves this problem.

At this moment we have and "wait for approve" and colldown, in result in most situations when zerg is near bar swap just doesn't work, even more, in combination with multithreaded(or async, don't know) calculation of player input it results in stupid situations when you have "ignored skill call"(and you make double bar swap for no reason) or skills applied when bar swap wasn't actually made => dead.

At least this can be done painless on consoles, as well as moving most of calculations back to client, until consoles get hacked of course, or on every platform if ZoS hire guy who understands that input sanity check does not require moving all calculations to server.

Lol and go back to guessing which bar we on?

I end up on the wrong bar most of the time now, before I was not having that trouble. I agree with OP, revert weapon swap.

I'm not talking about cooldowns specifically. There was a period of many months during the first year where weapon swap was screwed up royally. It didn't work reliably and would often desync where your bar would appear to be on one set but you would end up casting from the other set.

Yeah. That was not at the time where they removed the CD.

But don't you remember during lag and you pressed weapon swap once it swapped 10 times. Just timing is key now.

What "timing"? Press button 10 minutes before fight to get wepswap during battle? I like jokes but this is bad one.
