Fix light attacks faster!!!

buzzclops · November 2020

I have played magicka only for almost 3 years. I logged on today hyped for group battlegrounds. But honestly this is the worst thing that ever happened. Why has this thing gone to live? Complete disgrace. It’s literally insulting half of your playerbase.

A bit overdramatic but it had a great beat and you could dance to it.

You cant land any real single target combos in pvp. It has broken a whole range of playstyles. They need to fix this asap.

Just having to wait days after a release kinda pissed me off. Its recurrent every patch what will it take. Literally every patch something broken has to be waited out. I guess yeah its a different discussion but im just sick of it and ranting

So, the being "sick" and "ranting" was important enough to start a duplicate thread about it??

The issue with light attacks is a definitely a new issue with this patch (not recurring).

ZOS has acknowledged it and has the fix scheduled.

CaptainVenom · November 2020

It will be fixed on November 16.

buzzclops · November 2020

Acknowledging it way too late. It was specified on the pts multiple times. It should have been fixed with the release. But you are right tho. I got carried away cause i just cant play the game today at all and for a week... i find it very weird they never hotfix stuff. I am just suppose to wait a week and lose subscription time because of bad product? Time is money i assumed a multi-million dollars company would know this.

I have almost 100 guildies on right now playing the game and there are tons of people in town at this very moment all playing the game. Ran a half-dozen dungeons with some new players and didn't have a single issue. The game is more than playable.

And in regards to the "time is money" comment...get over yourself.

I feel scammed over this. i probably loss a month or 2 of time if add up all the time that i cantplay because the product is broken. I feel scammed and im sure others do. Have you played any pvp yet? Thats where its the worst and playing vs decent stamina builds right now is impossible as magicka. If ppl want to blindly continue supporting this then I just dont understand...

Soooooo...switch to stam?

At any rate, if you're this upset, stop your sub, walk away, and find another game.

I play magicka and I never even noticed anything was wrong. I guess it seemed like I was doing a little less dps, but not enough that I'm not able to complete anything I normally do. I'm still doing quests, dragons, dungeons, pvp, etc.

I guess I just don't understand why the word "unplayable" continues to pop up in these threads.

Because it is “unplayable”at above average pvp where everyone knows how to light weave and bar swap cancel as fast as possible for optimal dmg output. for example, Sometimes if your light attack gets dogded but your spammable goes off you can catch them right after it. And then work around your kill windows to land subsequent damage. Right now this whole thing is impossible because youre stuck not able to cast when your enemy rolls around you and dish out damage and you end up getting stuck on your back bar because its too hard to get any pressure going. In this state you cant light weave at all if you want to have a good flow with your damage against a Decent moving and defending target. Wich makes you lose way to much pressure.

Okay, but you've just sort of highlighted my point...that doesn't make the game unplayable. It creates an inconvenience at, in your own words, "above average pvp". Those are not the same.

buzzclops · November 2020

It does make the game unplayable if you cant play it to the best of its possibilities. It means right now nobody can practice and get better at it because the game wont let you. It is a very important core mechanic of the game that shouldn’t have passed pts.

Even if you're right about the part where the game is unplayable, the thread title says "Fix light attacks ASAP!!!".

The forums banner at the very top of the forums page clearly outlined the imminent fixes (in its own unique color).

I'm surprised this thread is still open.

Changed the title to faster! Makes more sense youre right! Im sure they are able hotfix things at 5am like a lot of other games do. It don’t understand why you would make your playerbase wait a week for a broken mechanic like that.

Sylvermynx · November 2020

I have two observations: I'm not really having an issue with weaving; and I'm killing things a LOT faster. I am not however playing anything labeled "group content". I was actually pleasantly surprised to find mobs dying appx twice as fast for me, considering the uproar over LA weaving on the forum.

Or in a more realistic scenario, you just wait faster.
