Skills not activating is driving me nuts.

StarOfElyon · May 2020

I'm in battlegrounds and I have to press buttons two or three times to get skills to work. I can't combo. I can't pull of a Resto-ult. When I try to activate skills, instead of hitting the next button to attack or defend and when the skill should be activating, I have to wait and see if the skill even comes out first.

I used to hit buttons like 1,2,3. Now, I'm going 1,2,3... wait, 2 never came out... oh crap, I'm all screwed up.

Whoops, wrong subforum. Unfortunately, I can't delete it.

Actually, you are OK on this subforum. When I was on the PTS server I still had times when my skills would not fire. Now this was early on the PTS cycle so I hope ZOS made some improvements, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Im not sure if PTS counts for the issue. After all it is a small server so i would expect some issues.

Its called input delay, and ye, it making game frustrating to play

I dont rly play actively anymore because of it.

Get used to it. It's the new performance plan.

Honestly the combat bugs have grown worse and more numerous with every patch. I have low expectations that they will fix them any time soon.

At least we won't notice input delay while we're excavating and scrying for weeks until the new and returning players lose their drive to play 24/7. 1 could hope. I've already barely touched the game since Harrowstorm launch because of the crappy performance. I log in once a week, if that. If performance even hints at being the same as Harrowstorm, I simply won't bother.

I think that instance desyncs should be prioritized over input delay. Input delay is something that occasionaly happened (now it's a common thing) even before the performance patch but was manageable. But instance desyncs are new and completely game breaking making the content unclearable (e.g. insta wipe on Nahviintas even if whole party is hidden behind the statue because game is registering them in different position). I thought that this a trial/dungeon issue only, but yesterday in Cyrodiil on live I noticed spinning ballerina guards there as well. So the issue is in any instanced content (surprisingly, enemies in overland do not spin).

The even more strange thing is that you can solve desyncs by resetting the instance till you get a working one so this can't be caused by huge server load (demonstrable even on Cyrodiil case, in non-CP campaign, the guards did not spin but in below level 50 campaign did). Is it possible that some of the server machines are faulty and resetting the instance gives you the possibility to get an instance that is created on non-faulty machine? Also, one thing I noticed is that when you get instance without spinning enemies, input delay is gone as well.

I can replicate complete loss of my character after exiting excavating. As recently as last night. Have to relog everytime. This game is a *** hot mess.
