Interested on everyone's thoughts on the patch from a console perspective thus far. I always try and look on things from a positive perspective but there are so many things that keep putting me off the game right now. INCOMING RANT!
1) Lag/delay/server reliability is just horrendous (StamSorc with D swing in any of the above makes me want to smash my pad to bits)
2) Cast times on ults - Dawnbreaker etc just isn't the same (even Leap took a hit) and what is most ridiculous is that ani cancelling these moves has always been in the game and a statement made many years ago stated that ani cancelling was something that was here to stay - don't known what is more annoying the change itself or the blatant hypocrisy.
3) Ani cancelling is now inconsistent across other skills. Rally is fine but try it with a vigor or 2H execute and you are fudged! Even more infuriating is the way zos go about it. The patch never said this would happen. Instead they reference "Block Changes" and state it won't change ani cancelling - pull me another one!
4) I don't want to sound elitist or anything here but zos are catering to casuals that don't want to learn the game. They sub to ESO plus and spend cash on trash in the crown store and ZOS see the money coming in and think they are doing a good job. ANYONE with any BUSINESS sense knows a model that plans to keep players over time is way better than something inconsistent but ZOS keep fooling themselves
As you can see, I don't like the general direction the game is taking and although this may seem like something small for a long time player it compounds into a lot of frustration!
