PjPablo Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have no idea what you're talking about. Ability Delay. A major design flaw to many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

run_hello Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It's really fun in PvP when I have to hit the button 4x to enter Cover. Or any other ability for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkhosis Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I can set my active queue window very high and do the same thing. Should I go make a video about it and pretend it's a bug too? Sadly Bioware doesn't have this option set to 0 and most people think they have an unresponsive game. Sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Bioware doesn't have this option set to 0 and most people think they have an unresponsive game. Sadly. I was wondering if it had to do with the queue setting.

BluePlatypus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Wrong Exact opposite. I hate spamming keys. Well, since BioWare has publicly addressed that ability delay does in fact exist... ...I'm not sure why you dont perceive it. But I'm happy for you just the same, it is extremely annoying.

But I'm happy for you just the same, it is extremely annoying. I wasn't trying to say it didn't exist. Just that I was puzzled why I never see it. I'm even more puzzled by the fact I never hear complaints about it from anyone I know that plays. But I hope they fix it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jett_Skirata Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I just came up with new slogan for SWTOR When you press a button, wait 1 second, wait for the animation to finish, sometimes something awesome will happen! No offense, but this slogan is terrible. Even if you want it to keep the negative connotations, which clearly you do, it's far too long, and doesn't stick in one's memory. I'd advise you not to go into marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jylian Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The people that claim it doesn't exist or claim they don't experience it are either white knights defending Bioware/SWTOR when there really is no reason to in this case, or extremely unskilled casual gamers who don't notice the difference.

Barathos Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) It happens a lot in PVP, but PVE i'm perfectly fine... Odd... And OP's quote makes me wanna roll a female trooper, so bad... But I hate playing females... GAH! I WANT FEMSHEP WITHOUT THE CURVES! Edit: On a TOTALLY different note, I never see my avatar pix... Go me and uniqueness!

Insideman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ability Delay. A major design flaw to many players. Keep hopping on threads to bash this game and its players? If you want to quit please just do it and leave these boards. Your post was pointless, and I am addressing it. Therefore this post is not pointless.

pocketthesaurus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had ability delay until I forwarded ports on my router, now everything works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticKegger Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I honestly have never seen this. My abilities fire off when I press the key. SorryAgree unless I get a lag spike which only happens when the background patcher is up. The fact that it happens to some and doesn't happen to others means it isn't the game or it's combat engine.

It's a fluidity thing. I think it's most noticeable in contrast to other games, for those of us who are playing different MMOs at the same time. It's not completely game breaking, as you say, things still die. However, it is unenjoyable and am glad it is getting visibility with BioWare.

You should tell them before they waste their time. I never experienced the loading screen bug, but they went ahead in fixed it anyway for people who did. Neat how stuff like that works, isnt it.
