They still haven't fixed abilities not working when pressed?

Back when I last played at launch and S1 and S2, I was constantly mashing my keyboard for some abilties that wouldn’t work.

There were the Barbs shouts, Druid had Blood Howl, etc, where you’d have to press the button like 4 times to get it to go off. So many times on my Barb I would go through all 3 shouts only to see 1 of them didn’t work for some reason.

Now on Spiritborn that happens with Soar. I just had an instance where I am surrounded by enemies and I am mashing the damn key like an ape 4-5 times before it actually worked.

What the hell is with this? Is it too much to ask to have my ability go off when I press it?

Also, they still haven’t fixed the animation glitch if you’re near a wall or something and your character literally can’t use any abilities because the wall is too close to you which prevents animations from going off.

Good lord some of this stuff is so annoying.

didnt see giga many reports on that myself.

tried cleaning your keyboard?

It isnt my keyboard.

This is a widespread problem that has been around since the beta and it’s still here.

It has to do with animation/character lock when enemies/walls are touching you.

i just meant i didnt see it myself. bug report sub forum?

gotta have to file one myself as well ^^

You’d see when you’re playing the game.

It isn’t something only a few people have.

It’s built into the game.

Funny thing is that it’s not even an input issue. You can see the skill on the tool bar being spammed. It just doesn’t want to go off. Seems more frequent the more mobs that are around. In the past it seemed as if it happened after certain skills too.

It’s animation lock.

When your character is doing an animation of some kind, or if an enemy hits you or something, you won’t be able to do a new animation/ability until your character has finished his current animation.

It feels absolutely terrible and they’ll never fix it.

Yeah I remember that in S4. I remember S1 I had problems after frost nova on Sorc. On Barb if I did the shouts in a different order it wouldn’t happen. I just don’t remember what order it was.

Nothing like mashing abilties in the midst of 30 enemies and one of them is taking forever to work.
