Why can we no longer hold r2 told hold a heavy attack????

Read the patch notes, this is one of several changes to heavy attacks.

Just said quicker charge time didn't mention holding.

Thanks for the info.

Nope but it's 10% faster animation and15% (possibly more) weaker
Let us know if you notice the faster animations cos I don't

Personally, I liked the old way better. I notice no difference in speed, but I dislike the auto-fire mechanic. I'd at least like a way to toggle that in the combat settings.

This change is listed further down the Combat and Gameplay section:

Bow
Heavy Attacks now automatically fire when they are fully charged.
Developer Comment:
Spoilerhide
Fully-charged Heavy Attacks will be more important with the resource changes coming in this update, so we want to make sure there are no gameplay barriers to using them.

Not loving the new auto release either, and as said above it just doesn't feel "10% faster"

There was just something very satisfying about holding down a HA and launching a poison injection so that they would hit at the same time. Still possible, just not as rewarding.

ZOS made bow a copy of a staff. Can't be having uniquely functioning weapons now... must homogenize all things...
