Performance is the worst i have ever experienced since playing from beta. I know Cyrodiil has always been laggy and we always complain about it, but this is on a whole nother level. Utterly broken right now. Massive dsync when ever i use gap closer, leap, i am always teleported back. I cannot switch weapon bars or use a skill without hitting the button 3-5 times before it goes off. Just broken and unfun.

My favorite has been my entire ability bar greying out because of "lack of resources" when I'm at max resources. That's been fantastic. Also fantastic: activating my WW ulti, watching my ulti numbers drop to 0... and not being a werewolf afterward. That was super cool.

Exactly what i'm experiencing... It's such a joke at this moment.

@ZOS_GinaBruno are you guys aware of this?

Hello I'm here for asking to all [Snip] to please send here some of your pvp clips after the patch :') thanks.

[Edited for bait]

I don't recognize the game which I once fell in love anymore. The combat was awesome and unique and then you tried to tune everything down because of some WoW players who will go back to Classic/Shadowlands anyways.

I mean.... "block canceling" was never removed but ok.

Oh no? please tell me how to animation cancel skills with block as we could before this update?

Thst is a separate issue. Whether or not ZOSs implementation is executing itslef properly does not pertain to your question.

Your question was based on the key point that block canceling was removed when in reality, technically it was not removed since when the block change is working as intended, the relationship between a blocking state, the GCD and when the game allows you to block is no different than before, it's simply server side and not client side.

Now, if this is a discussion on whether or not changing block to be server determinative is ultimately for the better, then frame your question appropriately.

Before the change, activating block immediately after casting an instant cast skill would cut the recovery animation of said skill off while the GCD refreshed, and ultimately did nothing for how that skill is delivered to a recipient, block canceling it in that case served only to stunt your stamina regen or if after casting the skill, you noticed a snipe or something about to fly your way and you needed to block.

After the change all of the above should remain true under the condition that ZOSs implemented change is working as intended. The only difference is that the instant cast skill will have more of its recovery animation play out over the GCD WHILE you are in a blocking state, as indicated by the shield icon in front of your character appearing immediately regardless of your characters appearance.

The issue is that ZOS does bot have the best server side implementations for many things and this change is not working as reliably as it should in high latency environments. But that is the actual and more important discussion that needs to be had.

The issue here is too many people believe cutting off superfluous recovery animations of instant cast skills with block (or roll dodging) actually does something for that skill when in reality it does not and never has, and only results in client side misinformation sometimes ranging from health desyncs and false combat text appearance timings which was ostensibly the issue this change was attempting to fix.

You knew all this though I'm sure..

It feels like I'm playing under water like wtf is this.... I have uninstalled to avoid getting frustrated.

Honestly, blocking wasn't the problem. It's the effects/design of Skills that cause a huge lack.

Out of boredom 2 friend and me spammed frost cloak on our Wardens, I thought my PS4 was about to crash duo to the insane performance decrease. All those small particles etc. are terrible for fps.
