Abilities not activating when pressed.

its a known problem and its impossible to cope with. the few examples when the abilities do fire off is like a bliss. but it only lasts for that long. Then back through the hell of a so-called interface.


BW guys: It aint working.

This getting fixed soon?

I have the same issue all the time. I created a thread yesterday about it and uploaded a video.

This really needs to be addressed.

Just to suggest a possible fix, although it might not be the cause of the issue. There is an ability Que of 0.5, you can turn this off in preferences. Just set it to 0.0 and your abilities will no longer be Que'd. This will make it so the ability you use will be used immediately instead of following the ability you Que'd before it.

If this is not the issue that you all are explaining then this certainly does need to be addressed. Hope this at least helps!

Worth a shot. I'll try it out and see what happens.



EDIT: So I tried setting it to 0.0 and it seemed to be worse, so I tried 1.0 and it is still happening

Sorry Hoped it'd help!

I have been noticing this as well, more so lately because I have running Hard Mode FP and when I need an ability to fire off I keep clicking on the button and it takes far too long before it finally works.
I play a juggernaut and I always run as a tank in groups. When I NEED abilities to fire like disruption to interrupt or taunt to keep a boss on me, when it doesn't fire when it should be it causes major problems. I am not sure if this has to do with the ability delay that has been widely discussed or is another problem altogether, but either way this has to be addressed.

I really don't think this is ability delay. This is more of a bug that is restricting certain abilities completely until you somehow become un-bugged by activating another type of ability or attack something. I had this go on once for 2 min before I then hit my stim pack and then it allowed my abilities to function again. Whenever it happens to me in a warzone I have to quickly pop a stim pack or medpac to be able to use the abilities once more.

Guardian here. Also occasionally have this problem, and in PvP it's everpresent. Happens in Flashpoints too which gimps the group horribly on HM's where you have to beat Enrage timers, if I can't DPS at all for 10 seconds due to interface or whatever the problem is.

Sorry about double post; but this does seem quite right. For example when I spam Blade Storm and can't use it, the way to fix it is to use another ability instead, after which Blade Storm functions properly again. Still whatever the issue is, it's obviously present for everyone, and hugely annoying.
