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

theres no data, about whats going on for OPs issues.

I can imagine that OP is annoyed, but yea, blizzard would need details in a bug reoport to help op.

i personally dont suffer from ops issue that abilities arent worken when i press the appropriate key.

Yes you do.

You’re just too daft to notice.

You haven’t been around much, regardless of your post count. It’s a ubiquitous problem that everyone has who isn’t a literal grandma doing less than one action per second.

It’s an animation problem, probably the engine can’t keep on quicker animation or they keep this for make the game work on console, who known, but if you pay attention the game recognize the imput, you can see on the hotbar the skill become “greyed” for an istant, but the character not do anything if not complete the previous animation.

P.S. there are some accounts you can safely ignore.

This has been complained about since launch and about the only character I haven’t noticed it on is rogue and I only played that once. Surely you must have noticed it. It’s pretty common.

It’s very common, I notice it on my necro quite a bit, just depends on what I’m doing. Animation locks, as others have said are typically the issue, it’s dumb.

Yeah multiple things going on when this happens , it can be frustrating.
I try to avoid being surrounded or walled into corners for this very reason.

I think they are talking about “ingame” skills. Not behavior on the forum.

Maybe play the game a bit instead of humping the forum for another 10.000 posts and you notice may notice the issue.

It seems like if there’s not enough room for your character to do some animation where he moves his arms/etc, it just won’t work.

It feels so terrible mashing a key 5 times before it goes off.

Glad to see I am not the only one experiencing this issue. I hope the server would somehow ‘queue’ the skills pressed but not executed due to animation lock and just fire the queued skill after animation of prev skill is over

The way the game is programmed is terrible.

Imagine having animations clash in a dungeon crawler when you constantly get surrounded by hordes of enemies in tight spaces.

Yup. This.

It happens when holding Shift and clicking abilities, too. Shift is supposed to stop movement, but on some abilities it still stutter steps you forward, especially if you rotate abilities.

As a side note, I remember watching a stream by Raxx. He was pushing Pit with a sorc and he was in a boss fight. It was going well and then he died to a mech. He swore that he used a defensive skill (I think it was flame shield?? Not sure), which should have prevented him from dying. He even replayed the clip several times to confirm that the skill in the skillbar flashed to indicate it received the input but the skill just didn’t go off. I think he probably hit that skill right after another skill and experienced the same issue. I remember this one because it really triggered him.

He put in a bug request WITH the video clip. And this was a while ago. If Blizzard did not fix this issue when it was submitted by a streamer and with video proof, no less. What chance do we have? They will get to it when they can is the best we have…
