Taking out your weapon?

I'm on console, just finished downloading Elsweyr, got on, played a bit with the dragon bone style, got out, pressed the attack button to get my weapons out like always, but then I hitted somebody. It wasn't doing this before. The first "attack" you would do by pressing the button would always only take your weapons out if they were'nt already, but now it straight up attack. This is really unpleasant. Is it an unwanted glitch or will it be like that from now on? Because to be honnest this is really annoying. I like the "take out your weapon" animation and now it does'nt do it anymore, it just skip straight up to attacking.

hellhound223✭✭✭You know, I have noticed a sharp uptick in the number of small animals I kill by accident when taking out my bow....

✭✭Thought it was just me. Yep, seems to be a new thing. There is a button you can press to unsheathe without attacking, though. Left on the D-pad for me.Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.0 -

✭✭✭✭As someone who's had Elsweyr for two weeks, I can tell you that I've noticed it too. Hopefully it can be made a toggle. I can see the value of it, but I prefer the old way.4 -

✭✭✭I was wondering if something had changed, but I had kind of just brushed it off as being just my imagination."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."4 -
Carl-lan✭✭✭✭I’m on PC and use game pad but noticed that my guy pulls his weapon out and starts firing when I get to the last page of a book or note and hit the RT. I shot someone in the face and got a bounty! I was just reading a book.Edited by Carl-lan on June 4, 2019 3:41PM1 -
OneForSorrow✭✭✭✭I've turned off the ability to hit friendly targets. It's saved my sanity.
I turn it on for infiltration/assassin things but otherwise it stays off.PC NA. Various alts, trying to find a main, I have no idea what I'm doing.1 -

Nah you've got to leave that toggled on, nothing more hilarious than an accidental NPC death!
Be safe

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, that's a change with Elsweyr. Over the past couple of weeks (on PC) I've been retraining myself to draw my weapon by tapping block instead of tapping attack.

✭I now right-click to extract a weapon. This auto firing should be a toggle because it's bloody annoying.PC NA, PC EU

Yeah I know, but you have to hold it, which makes it kinda unnatural. I'm glad I'm not going crazy and that other people notived it tough. I hope we get a comeback about this.0 -

✭✭✭You can also use the Z key to draw without attacking, but it's stupid of ZOS to make a completely arbitrary change to something we've been used to for years. It literally makes nothing better and annoys everyone.5 -
hellhound223✭✭✭So glad I'm not just imagining things. Using block has been working as a passable substitute for me (when I remember
), but I really wish I didn't have to worry about killing random animals or accidentally shooting enemies before I mean to.
And the "prevent attacking innocents" option has already saved me from multiple bounties, too.

✭✭Thanks for addressing this. I had to switch to using block to unsheathe my weapons, which slows me down albeit very briefly.0 -

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Related to sudden changes with Elsweyr, though not this one specifically, the camera now does weird stuff when looking up while in 3rd-person view. It zooms in on the crosshairs instead of properly hugging the ground as before.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

That's good to know because it is really annoying. But what does that say about the programmers' ability and all the other annoyances since Elsweyr?

✭Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread!!!
I mentioned this issue to other people and they "noped" at me. I thought maybe I was going nuts. I can handle it, knowing it's a bug. I turned off attacking innocents, so I'll just wait for a fix.
Edit: nevermind, it was fixed today. Yay!Edited by reoskit on June 17, 2019 3:14PM0 -

✭✭This didn't get fixed? It was in the patch notes...General
You now once again unsheath your weapons when pressing light attack before actually attacking a target.1
