genesiser Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The ability delay is what got me to initially quit the game when it first got released, about 3 months after the release. I came back to the game about 4 months ago and when I first came back, the ability delay was gone. I enjoyed the game immensely when the combat worked right. However, once 2.0 got released, the ability delay has come back into the game. Granted, it isn't as bad as it once was, however it is noticeable and it's annoying. If it's still in the game by the time final fantasy xiv: a realm reborn gets released, I won't be sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyft Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 /signed. Please fix this - ability delay (and frequent failure entirely) is resulting in an unenjoyable, and quite frankly unplayable, user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOULCASTER Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yea, just try playing a combat sentinel now. It's just about unplayable with how all of your core abilities fail to go off. Thats pretty much how we all feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macumba Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 right this is very bad and becomes very annoying when the zones are full (like on ilum during the event) had it bad yesterday on ilum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy_reborn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 been waiting for a fix to this since 1.2..... anyone also have issues where you hear/see the animation for an ability start, but nothing happens? this happens to me a lot with grav round; the animation will start but no cast bar comes up. sometimes it actually fires the ability, and sometimes it doesnt. when it doesnt im just standing there for a few seconds like a window licker.... very annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teclado Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This happens to me all the time. It is especially annoying in pvp. Several different abilities on several different classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JymmyMorison Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 /signed this happens often with ravage sometimes other marauder abilities and with my sorcerer with force lightning aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmar Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have to underline this aswell. Its been here for ages, and its the little cancer that kills the game slowly. I have started to wonder if its impossible to fix due to the engine, but would be good to have a confirmation on this from the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JymmyMorison Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 well if no dev responds then we know for sure it cannot be fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOULCASTER Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 well if no dev responds then we know for sure it cannot be fixed Well we are on page 14 at the moment, with no dev response. I don't see HOW they can't fix this. Its obviously some kind of bug with either the ability queue or the GCD. It really should be a priority one fix, as it affects literally every single aspect of this game, from PVE to PVP. Another PRIME exmaple of this is when you die in a warzone, when you respawn, instantly try and buff yourself. It fails every time and uses the GCD without buffing you. I usually have to hit it 2 or 3x before I get my buffs to apply. Its extremely frustrating in pvp warzones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOULCASTER Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 the problem can be in the engine itself wich in return means its there forever I don't know anything about coding and engies, so its entirely possible. HOWEVER, this bug did not exist in game at launch or in beta (as far as i know). So based off that, i think its something that must have worked its way into the system somehow over the course of patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddballEasyEight Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Dont know if this is the same thing, but on my bounty hunter, unload sometimes just fires one shot, and only does damage for that shot. No real explanation for it, im not moving or anything. Im wondering if this is the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Boson Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) so no reply from devs..... too busy to fix it(as usual), i guess. You just have to "improve" yourself to get used to it. I think this bug is simply a result of general LAG. While I click on innervate as sorc healer, first GCD is in most case only for an empty animation show. Since you cant see any heal number on your target. So I have to click it again using my second GCD to channel this spell. I know what im saying, coz I have to do this sh** on every class. For example on marauder by queuing vicious slashes or sniper and vanguard by using all kinds of spontaneous(=instant) abilities. It must be a lag in queuing abilities. A GCD will be obviously immediately triggered after clicking. But your input-ability will not be processed. Since it obviously lies in the timeframe of data-transfer of your last input. Btw, I´ll instantly sub yearly instead of monthly, if the general LAG since game release can be fixed in a way.

NomadFifteen Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have also noticed this on Unload for Bounty Hunters. One shot, GCD activates, and no damage to the target. I really do not expect to see a response to this anytime soon. The issue last year where you could not play the game for more than an hour without crashing hit 80+ pages on that thread, and the only dev response were more requests for examples. The issue was actually resolved by the community for most of us that had it, and that is what will probably happen here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmel Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Psh, there are threads HUNDREDS of pages long with one, or even zero, dev responses. I wouldn't get your hopes up. Not unless you change the title of the thread to "Things I love about the cartel market." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
