Should the changes to light and heavy attacks be reverted?

As everyone knows, light attack weaving into a skill causes massive issues with skills not firing, or bugging out entirely. For many players the unique combat mechanics in ESO are one of the main draws to this game. Diminishing these systems is a mistake, and will only serve to drive players away.

The recent changes to LA and HA weaving is highly controversial. Should the recent changes to light attacks and heavy attacks be reverted?

    I like the changes from what little I've experimented with them so far. Especially as it relates to Heavy Attacks. I also like how they made Heavy Attacks actually hit their target now. Before this update they were constantly missing and it was driving me nuts.

    So far this is one of the better updates.

    heavy attack Sorc rotation feels like im doing it at 500+ ping. Also lightning heavy is kinda wierd now. Sometimes they, i don't know, shorter or something, like 2 ticks insted of 4.

    They've broken the fluidity of combat, I can't express strongly enough how much I want to see this reverted.

    This dev team is hell bent on slowing/dumbing the combat down and making it as idiot proof as possible.

    Veteran and dedicated players will continue to suffer as the casual, high turnover crowd is catered to.

    I can't even discribe the feeling. It's like playing constantly with 999+ ping, we cast the skill and simples doesn't happen.
    This will impact real bad the experience in game, expecially in dungeons and trials.

    It's not like I use weaving because I play solo. However, even I know that when you have a lot of players who do use it complaining that it feels bad, it's not a good change.

    Just voted for the core mechanic but it was confirmed already that it's an unintended bug and not part of the changes itself so will see what's actually changed/affected (if any) after the fix.

    The recent changes to LA and HA weaving is highly controversial. Should the recent changes to light attacks and heavy attacks be reverted?

    What changes? I just got the Markarth update today and I didn't notice any changes to LA and HA... Haven't tested much yet, but at least tell us what you mean with "changes".

    Its mostly noticeable for ranged builds, light atacks will only fire after the skill has hit the target, that makes skills with a a long distant travel (snipe for example) to be extremely more clunky to light weave, the light atack happens but you don't see it anymore

    I didn't notice any changes either... except that my heavy attacks were actually landing now.

    But I didn't get a chance to test it out much either.

    Greetings all,

    After review we have closed this thread as there is another thread about this topic already. If you wish to continue this discussion you may do so on the other thread located here. As Gina states, this change is not intentional and it's being looked into.
