Fix Overload.

bottleofsyrup · November 2016

I cannot tell you how many times tonight I've been stuck in heavy attack and it drains all of my ultimate. No, it's not lag, as my ping is under 100 and none of the enemies are frozen in place. Judging from guild chats I'm far from the only one, either.

No, it's an old bug. ZOS knows but has never been fixed. The only thing you can do is to click "block" and it will stop the animation.

....Cannot even start to explain how frustrating that is when it happens in VMA while under pressure....

That's when I noticed it too. Block is how I stopped it though it kept heavy attacking while I was in the block animation until it finally stopped. The targeting is also really buggy. I can be within range of the target and it'll be highlighted in red yet my light attacks will just fly past it.

Well better then the "other" overload bug where it doesn't fire at all and you literally CANNOT use it, till your character dies. Thats been going on since I started playing 2 years ago lol... It's really just a trash ultimate to build yourself around.

There are at least 3 thing's iv expirienced with this overload witch should not happen:

1: Getting stuck at heavy attacking
2: My hand do the animation, but i never shoot light attack
3: Some skills like liquid lightning takes forever to cast on overload bar, comparing to normal bar. It's like there are cast time, anyway at least for me the delay of this is like 2 second's.

I've noticed this too! So annoying.

It's a major bug that was introduced with the revised animation priority system. ZOS, to my knowledge, has never commented on the issue. But it affects combat across the board, and I often get stuck doing full heavy attacks in the middle of combat when I just tried to light weave. But it always plays the full heavy attack animation (though usually doing zero damage).

Ahh, so that's when it began. Not surprised. Animation prioritization has been nothing but a detriment to combat.
