Abilities not activating when pressed.

Hopefully I'm not the only one having this issue. It seems as though on occasion when I go to use an ability the GCD shows up but I don't actually do anything. One example I was in a Warzone after using overhead slash (I'm a guardian btw) I went to use Bladestorm and the animation stuttered and nothing happened. Another example is when I use Force stasis it will show the cast time for it but I can still move around and once again nothing happens. Not sure if any thing I said makes sense just a bit irritating having to spam a button multiple times before anything happens.

Having this issue on my Juggernaut as well, push button -> GCD activates -> ability does not go off -> repeat

Glad to see I'm not the only one was thinking my game files were corrupt or something. If anyone else is having an issue pls post so the devs see this and make a hotfix.

I've had this so many times on my sniper and it's usually in warzones! It's very annoying because you can't fight back.

It's a pain in pvp when this happens, and it happens a lot to me.

Hope this is something due to be fixed in the upcoming patches.

Having the same problem, most noticeable for me on my Marauder when using Retaliate (my character waves her sabers about as if she's about to stab but stops and goes back to the normal combat pose) and Ravage (plays the whole animation inc channeling bar without actually doing the damage/starting the cooldown). Also pretty irksome when it happens when trying to interrupt an enemy ability.

For me it doesn't occur regular enough to be "gamebreaking" but it is fairly annoying when it happens.

same here

Tons of people are experiencing this in PvE and PvP.


I would like to know more about what they are doing to address it rather than the "we're looking into it" response.


This and the delay that many people are experiencing are killing the game.

I have this issue as well (playing a Bounty Hunter), good to know I am not the only one.
It doesn't happen that often for me but when it does it can be quite aggrevating :P

I have no idea what causes it, it seems to be happening almost random and I have been unable to replicate it. (I know this isn't much help to the devs. sorry) Everything else seems to work fine but it's like one single ability gets "stuck" for a moment. It's mostly happening with my Tracer Missile and Electro Dart . GCD pops, animation starts and stops before finishing but ability isn't fired.

Just for clarity: I am (fortunately) NOT affected by the other issue (Ability delay response time, the one that has the big threads here on the forum.)

I hope BW can find a fix!

To some it might not be game breaking but for me being a pvper it kills the game. I really hope this issue is addressed because I do plan on tanking for endgame content as well and if I can't use my abilities I'll be screwed as with anyone else that has this issue.
