This is what DC dodge looks like on preview:

This is what DC Dodge looks like on live:

There is a noticeable delay when you just spam the dodge on preview that does not exist on live

    No, I think it's actually glitchy. You can animation-cancel the dodge just by holding down the movement key, which is almost certainly not intended. If you press nothing after initiating the dodge, it plays out normally.

    @kreatyve @nitocris83

    Can you please see if this is intended? The behavior is very buggy and inconsistent.

    I'll make sure the thread gets seen. Could potentially be a lag issue though, given the source, but I'll make sure they look into it.

    I am confident that this is a new behavior that I personally experience in mod14. It is also consistent, especially if I try to dodge multiple times in a row.

    If I had to describe it to a blind adventurer, I'd say that the DC's dodge animation was shortened by 33% or so, but they forgot to reduce the cooldown. As a result, there is a weird lag/delay always at the end of dodging.

    Are any changes intended at all to the DC's dodge? (none were documented in patch notes)

    If not, this is a bug and they should review how to revert the dodge animation length.
    If yes, this is a different bug and they should review the responsiveness of repeated dodging.

    PS: Note that Sharp posted the original before Mod14 went live, so "preview" is Mod14 and "live" is Mod13, before it broke.

    Happened to tr also... but the immunity frames don't exist.. you take damage while dodging...

    I also experience this in the live server after mod 14 launched, As a TR whenever I dodge the animation is choppy.

    I am still experiencing this on the LIVE server.

    It only happens when I am walking (/walk 1) or running to a location though.

    If you dodge from standing still, the slide animation is the complete distance (i.e. not affected). If it were just lag, I would expect both dodges to be affected.

    It seems like the act of moving towards a location shortens the dodge for the DC. This seems to affect the length of ground covered, and the dodge includes the distance walked/ran, whereas before it functioned independently of the current movement of the character.

    I tested this by dodging from a set point towards another point. If I dodged from standstill, walking or running, I always ended up on the same point. Running or walking to a location should NOT affect the distance of the slide, as this is how it properly functioned before. It makes the current DC dodge feel and look weird, clunky, and much more inefficient when you are moving.

    It's not lag. It has been like this since the new mod went live (i doubt the game would be lagged since then to mess with the dodge for so long), also there's the fact that is possible to test it:

    If you keep pressing W (or whatever movement key) when you dodge then it will end the animation prematurely, if you activate the dodge and stop pressing W immediately after then the dodge will slide for its full-length.

    @kreatyve there has been some additional insight added to the thread that would be good to pass along. Additional classes are affected, and it appears to be related to interrupting the dodge animation with a movement.

    Have you gotten any word back whether any changes at all were intended to the various class dodges?

    Can I also draw attention to a similar issue with Hunter Ranger dodge on preview.

    If you spam cast dodges with high stamina, you perform 3 correctly, and then things start getting glitchy after that (this effects the distance travelled. E.g. 1 HR dodge is normally like 3ft or something? Whereas after 3 dodges it casts another 6 dodges in the space it would normally take 3 with 6 audible sounds and on each 1 normal dodge there is what appears to be rubberbanding half way through followed by a quick second dodge but overall resulting in about 2ft of distance traversed.)

    and seriously can the hr be given the same dodge as the dc? they seem to be on the same framework otherwise. the hr dodge is just weird and unfair compared to every other class...

    @kreatyve do you think you could follow up to see if the devs have determined anything? Were any changes to various class dodges intended (none were documented)?

    @nitocris83 Julia do you have any indication from the devs whether this was intended / what they plan to do about it? Thanks!
  • dupeksdupeks Member Posts: 1,789 Arc User
    @kreatyve any news? I know people are probably busy with Mod14 console launch but this one keeps causing frustration in game.

    I also wanted to add that I think I experience this on my CW as well. So it really feels like all dodges were affected.

    I have forwarded the issue again.

    When I first brought this up there was discussion of follow up with design but since it's on preview, it may not have been prioritized. I'll bug the team again.

    Hi Julia,
    To clarify, this bug has been live since Mod 14. This thread pre-dates Mod14 launch and the poster didn't update the labels after launch.

    Thank you, Julia. This bug isn't as horrible (imo) as the various Castle Ravenloft bugs, but like dupeks said, it has been an issue since Mod 14 preview prior to going live.

    Swinging the nerfbat might be more fun, but please, could we have at least one tiny fix for DCs as well?
  • dupeksdupeks Member Posts: 1,789 Arc User
    @nitocris83 following up on this one to see if it could get slotted in for the next round of post-mod15 items to look at.

    Looks like the fix is in.

    Thanks, excellent!

    Shame on me for not checking preview more thoroughly... but I didn't see it in the patch notes, right?
  • pitshadepitshade Member Posts: 5,665 Arc User
    I'm at work and can't test it yet but it was on the patch notes.

    Oh I see... patch notes only mention DC though... hope they got the other classes too? Thanks for the catch :)
