So if I should guess the % how many times I died because of faulty weaponswap is straight out id say 50% at least. I play musket and rapier and guess what happens when I have musket and need to rapidly switch to rapier? Exactly I start to do a uncancellable reload skill for about 2 seconds while getting banged from everyside without being able to do anything.
I get it you tried. Now fix it for real

The amount of times I swap back to lifestaff to heal and see my VG skills appearing while the LS is highlighted in the bottom right corner is amusing as well :). It adds a RNG to the game. Like firing a bullet and not knowing if the weapon would jam

i’m staying away from VG because of that because it’s just game breaking … you try to switch to other weapon to block it shows you are on the other weapon but you are not and VG drains your life when you block …

but yeah i reported this in beta, weapon swapping is just wonky and bugged and slow which is extremely frustrating when you die because of that… i literally have 2 friends that quit because of that.
I heard a rumor that they made weapon swopping better but I have not sem any change, maybe if you stand still and do nothing but while fighting weapon swopping and dodging is just useless.
The main problem is you can not press dodge and dodge or swop weapons if you are doing something else like being knocked back by a mob or attacking and it is retarded that you must finish the last action you pressed.
There are many times you must dodge while you are attacking and pressing dodge such override any other action same as swopping weapon, if they just made it so those two things override any other action they might be instant meaning if you swop weapon during any animation or while being knocked around it would make the combat better.
The combat is terrible due to all the knockback and trying to hit more than 1 mob at max level is almost a death sentence.

that’s pretty much why i never made any tank build it’s just terrible gameplay because it’s the same thing with blocking anything you do can’t cancel into blocking and anything hitting you will prevent you from blocking, i mean having good reflexes won’t help because it just will not work when you need it fast when multiple mobs are attacking… forget about switching weapons for helpful CC.
I agree, I read in the last update that they fixed the replacement of weapons, but I still constantly face this

Got worse after this patch. Before at least I got my own timing to make it work. Now just dont works. Just fire David from the AGS and put someone with talent.
As a disabled player with partially paralyzed hands and loss of dexterity in same, it is already hard enough as is and I regularly use voice activation so it is even slower. SO yes it does need to be looked into.
Speaking of weapons I would like to see a few items if possible please.
-
The ability to be able to use my shield with my axe.
-
Ability to use Florentine or dual weapons, the NPCs use dual weapons why can we not? As it seems the basic movements for it is already in the code. axe and sword, dual axe, and the like would make it interesting.

An extra weapon slot so I can say have my sword and axe with life staff, or sword, musket and spear or the like. I have had issues and to be honest it at times has been my fault for not repairing an item at times. But I have gotten caught up in multiple waves of NPCs attacking me and had my main melee weapon go south on me repair wise in the middle of a big fight.
Did you know you can not open inventory and swap out a weapon while a NPC or other player is pounding on you? By having that reserve back up weapon on hand it would make life really easier gaming wise in some situations and I can not see a big issue simply adding an additional slot and simply not weapon number 3 on the avatar is all. I do not think we would want to run around looking like a porcupine anyway, although the ability to carry multiple weapons is a well established fact historically as is.
Yep. Playing axe/hammer and constantly rolling around in the middle of 10 enemies I need my UI to show what weapon I have out because I sure as hell can’t see what’s in my characters hands. I can’t use the “weapon toggle” bind, I have to bind axe to 1 and hammer to 2 and just spam press 1 or 2 and try to look at my character until I’m confident I actually have out the weapon it says. The UI just needs to stop lying to me. This is a huge broken mechanic and I can’t believe it’s gone on this long as a core feature of the game… using any 2 weapons of your choice and being able to swap between them.
*lmfao they just took my post out because i mentioned that it was unbelievable that they didnt fix void gauntlet taking buffs out !, the not being able to run bug in opr!… the weapon switch bug ! lol pathetic.
