Devs, any updates on abilities chaining?

[Axcarth]

By "ability chaining" I am of the belief you are talking about the change in Update 57 related to activating abilities on your hotbar, from the notes:

• Fixed an issue that was causing player abilities to sometimes break when the player was rapidly hitting other actions or even the action itself (if it was just coming off cooldown.)

We have been looking into issues with this change since Update 57, and we intend to revert this change in the next game update.

Thanks for the information, Cordovan, and for reading us. Glad to read you are reverting this change. Nontheless, must it be on next update (58)? or by update you mean 57.1 (patch)?

I’m an extremely patient person, usually willing to try something out before before giving feedback, but I can say this change is very frustrating. I get you want to prevent attacks and abilities from dropping/skipping whatever you call it, but this has a bad feel. I would rather lose an occasional attack to the ether than have this. Honestly I would rather have some lag than this… might be the only thing that I would make that statement about. If there is an issue with chaining attacks you want fix, then please try to address those individually.

Having a 1.5 second cool down makes me want to take my 12 button mouse and toss it in the trash. I could just press the numbers on my keyboard with my index finger one at a time. Being able to pet my dog in between special attacks or talk to my kids is not good.

I appreciate this will be looked and changed- but hopefully sooner rather than later. This is not something we will just get used to eventually.

Edit: changed in game update: Thank you very much!

It is a BUG since Torc said it is unintentional behaviour and that 'they will adress this ASAP'

I was gonna say she said that and if it was any different say goodbye

Can we expect that next week? Because this needs to get fixed even if nothing else is ready.

I'm very happy to hear that this is being reverted back to how things were before! Thanks for the update.

I don't usually like to pile on, but this needs to be patched yesterday, not wait for next "update" if that is what we're talking about. Any properly played melee would know how bad this is and not just frustrating but melee breaking.

Thought I had replied here but either it didn't load, or got deleted...but, I hope that "next update" is a patch or hotfix, and not u58.

thanks for the update Cordovani, i Hope It Will get fixed pretty soon, it's not only a problem for melee but also for casters and ranged toons, and while you are at It can you please also fix PIN, It does nothing It activated whil
e moving and it's really terribile, especially on a 15 secs cooldown ability...

[jirksa]

Ok, It's been another week without DDO. Can someone please confirm to me whether this got fixed or not? thanks

[glassesjr]

Nope, maybe they will get around to it sometime in 2023! You know, cause it doesn't benefit us they can really take their time.

[Lokirka]

No change, the cooldown is still alive and kicking unfortunatelly...

Please! someone find an exploit on this bug so we can get rid of it!!!

[Maldrick]

When the devs said they'd get on this ASAP I was reassured and TRed into a melee thinking I wouldn't have many clickies at low levels anyway, so it wouldn't be too bad during the couple day wait. I regret my choices.

[Cordovan]

This should be corrected in our next game update. No immediate ETA to announce, but within a few weeks.

The global cool down has a very bad effect on game play of anyone who has combinations of attacks, bad enough that it should have been hotfixed ASAP when SSG decided to revert the code change. Making us live with this for almost a month is a very poor choice.

Great. Extended restarts for no discernible reason over and over, but the one thing that's actually impacting a lot of people's gameplay can wait for a month? Can I humbly propose a reevaluation of SSG's priorities?

Thank you for staying engaged with the community on this. It helps.

[glassesjr]

They definitely won't get a dime outta me anymore.

Thanks ...............but lol a couple weeks ?....wow
