What have you done to weaving?

Invisible22Soul ShrivenI can see a 1-2 sec light attack delay whenever i cast degeneration.If i keep my rotation the same without casting degeneration at all it feels just a tiny bit clunkier...for me at least it only happens whenever i cast degen.2 -

✭✭Just to clear up, weaving is still in the game but it feels horrible like playing with 800+ ping as you have to wait for the light attack to hit the target before your skill fires. This makes the game feel extremely clunky.15 -

✭✭✭Ok I just made two full parses and yes, there is definitely something odd.
About 1 in 3 LA#s are not going off, but that's not all. Sometimes, it feels like the queue is completely jammed and I can not do another LA unless the skill animation is finished. The funny thing is, that the overall dps does not seem to be any worse than pre patch.And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

✭Weaving works the same but the animations are skipping frames and it looks terrible. If anyone regularly has a very high ping (like players from australia), the animations will skip around a bit, and it's kind of similar to that. It looks really bad but doesn't have any impact on gameplay itself.
I spent a good amount of time on PTS and didn't notice this issue so maybe they changed something? I don't see why this change has to apply to light attacks tbh, this should be reverted since animation cancelling makes it seem like your animations either aren't working, or you're lagging.
edit: seems it's more obvious with different abilities. force pulse is especially bad, as is ricochet skull.Edited by ecru on November 2, 2020 7:16PMGryphon Heart

Pretty damn sure there have always been more posts and requests to "nerf" animation cancelling over the years, than there were to support it.
So... not really.

How does light attack weaving being removed help you enjoy the game? Either you weave or you don't. How does other players weaving affect you as a player? it doesn't.28 -

✭✭✭✭✭All Light, Medium, and Heavy Attacks now have a 700ms cooldown unique to their weapon configuration (Dual Wield, One Hand and Shield, etc.) rather than varying amounts between 500ms and 1 second. Cast times of Heavy Attacks have been increased or decreased to ensure their total Cast Time + Cooldown remains the same at this time.

It doesn’t seem to be intended, per the patch notes. They endorsed animation cancelling years ago and even put it in a loading screen tooltip. This is much more likely to be a launch day bug than a surprise reversal of that policy.
They actually endorsed animation cancelling because they couldnt fix it. Not because it was designed that way from the start.
I fully understand that. It in no way changes the fact that they did later endorse it, and fully, based on their decision to incorporate it into the loading screen tooltip. They certainly do not seem to be suggesting a secret desire to get rid of it somehow.
If they were to reverse course on this, I doubt they would spring it on us day 1 of a new DLC. They have even stated explicitly that these changes were not meant to have an impact on weaving.0 -
Altyrann✭✭✭✭✭They've not removed weaving. It's specific skills, like Degeneration, that now add a delay that screws up rotation. This was noted two weeks ago on PTS and not even acknowledged.3 -
zvavi✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Weaving is not removed, if you are ignoring animation and sound, you get exactly the same cast, all it is now is forcing your light attack animation to play fully, so essentially your skills animation are moved forward, but they are done much earlier than what you see on screen.
So now you can't actually see the skills you are casting if you are weaving correctly.
Remember when they canceled bash/block animations so we can actually see the skills? Lmao.3 -

Something like the attack animations are now forced to play for 700ms I guess? Probably not intentional in the long run.PC NA0 -

You can't seriously be saying game exploits don't require any skill...
Like, ever seen a speedrunner?
Besides that, the weaving is what makes the combat in ESO different from other generic mmos, really.
Whether it was originally intended or not, it's become a core gameplay mechanic.13 -

You could still block, bash and dodge cancel even bar swap, you can also cancel abilities with cast time or channel.
I practiced block cancel sweep then cast BoL on my templar healer for crap moments.
However they have build so much around LA weave. including many sets. I have no issues with getting rid of LA weave if they buff skills to compensate.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

That's not true. Are you saying the game just manifested itself without being designed? When ZOS said "animation cancelling wasn't intended", what they meant was they never intended that people would complain about it. This has been discussed a million times since the game launched.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE7 -

Not good. Like others have said the light attacks still go through, you just don't see them since the animation for the previous skill takes precedence in what is displayed, even if it is the tail end of an animation.
What this means is that you are still going to get hit by stuff, but you are just not going to see it at all.
I was still able to hit my pre-patch DPS on the target dummy as long as I just went with my old rhythm and ignored what I was looking at.2 -

Looks like any targeted skills with long animations are currently forcing the full animation to play before you can use the next skill if that helps. Degeneration is a really obvious one to check as it seems to have a very long animation.0 -

It's only specific skills causing the issues so depending on your class and setup you may or may not see it. To see it in action really clearly, try Degeneration followed by something else with LA weaving.2 -

Considering Zos has stated it is an official and legitimate part of the game six years ago and Zos has taken steps to encourage and reward light attack weaving it is completely false and inaccurate to characterize light attack weaving as a bug.
Zos has even stated they understand that the light attack weaving is part of what separates ESO from other games like it.
