More than 6 years and SE didnt bother to fix character freeze

[hordecore]

when someone casts on us haste or sometimes random buff

[Khajit]

They did fix it. They made it happen more often. All fixed now.

[Gennadi]

Yep all done they just added more peanut butter to the code

I thought it was part of the game mechanics... if you go back through the updates there should be an article saying that the "pause" time had been reduce after that character had been cured.

They mentioned they reduced that time, but it still happens a lot, and it's still annoying. In fact, I didn't really notice the decrease from before. I would love if they seriously looked into that, because that's actually an annoyance that can kill you.

I haven't noticed it either. I guess it's one of the penalties to 'balance' the game, the same as "blinking" when you change equipment. If you going to ask for buff lag to be removed, you was as well ask for "blinking" to be removed as well, although PC users with windower can use a plug-in to circumnavigate the "blinking" penalty.

They tried to reduce the spell lock but it's almost impossible without a major reprogramming of the game engine, deal with it. It's not a big deal.

This is exactly right, they can always add new things that are "programmed" but making any existing changes are too hard because of "programming".

How do you know?

To you maybe.
