Crowd Control is Broken on classic Anniversary

Sapp is breaking 3 seconds into sap
Sheeps are breaking randomly
Blind, gouge also not lasting even 1/4 of the timer

This is happening 50% of the time if not more on fresh targets. I believe it started with the SOD to Anniversary accidental merger.

I have never seen Crowd control so blatantly screwed up and I have been playing wow for a very long time.

Has anyone else noticed this? I know 99% of AV is people just mindlessly running north not even paying attention but surely the actual pvp’rs have been getting frustrated with their CC breaking almost immediately for no apparent reason.

YES. Something is definitely off. We need to report this in the bug forum as well. Stuff is breaking almost instantly and it used to be insanely rare if ever that would occur.

its heartbeat, its been in the game since vanilla, the cc durations are too long so they can randomly break with more and more chance the longer the player has been cc’d

its not no apparent reason, pretty much everyone knows what causes it, bad luck

i don’t think my sap has ever lasted its full duration in all of anniversary

Most of the time right out of the gates we go left and sap a couple of ally and it breaks almost immediately.

Its a fact that something is wrong. They need to acknowledge this and work on a fix.

Cc shouldn’t last more than 6 seconds. I’m glad full, 1 minute duration cc is breaking early. It’s ridiculous that was even in the game to begin with

Awesome change, hope it was intended/is permanent.

Might just be random bad luck. Might be some nonsense bleeding over from SoD. You never know these days.

AB/AV cap times of 8 seconds > 10 seconds

Anything that makes Rogue players suffer is a good change. It also makes me just want to bully them even harder. For fun.

If it is more than just a bug, Blizz should make a blue post.

Up to x amount* not guaranteed

anniversary is on an accelerated phase train so it makes sense the length of cc is shorterned as well. short cc length helps us get to tbc quicker

ha! rogue complaining about CC not being good enough lol

As folks have posted, there is a chance that cc will break early. However, it should not be instant and after 3 seconds.

I would suggest doing some tests to confirm this behaviour. Grab some friends and go duel a few times and test how long, on average, your sap lasts for compared to the tooltip duration. I would also test this with sheep and fear. Maybe do at least 10 trials of each. More is better but if you’re going over 50 each, that’s probably more than necessary.

Please keep in mind that cc-type DR exists, so either allow sufficient time for the DR to reset or /forfeit to reset the duel. I think that resets DR but I’m honestly not sure. Maybe test that also.

If you find that cc is not behaving as expected, please report your findings here:

Good luck! Honestly, I’m rooting for it being a string of bad luck on heartbeat resists on your end because if there really is a bug here, it might take some time to get fixed. Still, more information is better!

Well they haven’t fixed Hunter tracking being broken so I doubt they even look into this.

its not a bug. cc last UP TO x amount of time, it can break any time after doing it initially. generally higher levels will break out of them faster.

CC has NEVER broken like this in classic or vanilla. I have a bazallion hours of pvp gameplay from 2019 and this was NOT happening the way it is now. It is so far off its almost comical.

the further away you are the easier the heart beat is to break atleast I remember someone back in the day telling me that
