Your feedback from the servers so far indicates that this change has had dramatic, positive impact on combat gameplay.



That said, we're not done improving combat responsiveness!

As mentioned in my blog a few days ago, there are some additional fixes currently on our public test server as part of patch 1.1.1, which will roll out as soon as we're satisfied with that patch.



We've heard your mixed feedback regarding the new cooldown animation that was part of patch 1.1, and we have improvements to the readability of that UI coming down the pipe.



We're looking into improving the accuracy of cast bars. Their behavior should already be significantly improved with today's patch, but we believe there is still room to improve.



We're also working on improvements to the responsiveness of individual ability animations, including faction specific timing differences and issues where shortening an ability activation time does not properly shorten it's animation. Again, thank you for your constructive feedback on this issue, it has been vital to us in identifying and resolving this situation.

At the moment it just feels incredibly clunky. So we'd be safe to assume that instant casts and the likes will improve some?At the moment it just feels incredibly clunky.
