2.16: Delay in changing cross hotbar sets

same problem here, plus if i change hotbar quickly then before the patch my target switch

I find it funny that on the Japanese thread posted about the exact same issue (http://tinyurl.com/o5mp4k8) it only took 9 posts and a GM was straight on there to deliver official information to confirm the bug and that it's being worked on, and here we are on 5 PAGES and not a GM in sight...

Having the same issues, I hope to see a fix real soon.

Yep..just accidentally tank Limit Breaked during a tank switch(trying to turn on shield oath) in Ifrit Extreme mode. That got some nice remarks.:/

platform : Windows 8.1
controller : Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2

I can confirm this issue , very annoying , i hop they fix it asap , cant do primal like this.

I feel your pain i log in after the update was finish,i started doing my daily quest i noticed something odd after i q up for my roulette and got titan the normal trial and i was trying to switch hot bars like i always do to get my dps buffs and i got delay for at least 2 seconds and was wondering what is going on this is not right something is wrong here this is not how i felt playing since after the patch so i told a friend and he said that all his friends that has controls are having the same issue and a few minutes later here i am ranting why this happen and when are they going to fix this cause i can't fight like this.

You know, a reply from a dev, something along the lines of "hey we know about this thing, we are working on fixing it ASAP" would be nice. It really blows my mind how they could oversee something as game-breaking as this.

Was ranting to my FC about this this morning. First thing I tried to do was a treasure hunt on SMN which turned nasty because I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me switch to my pet hotbar. Nothing like having 1 boss, 2 waves of 4 adds each plus a Treant link while you have zero pet control to wake you up in the morning. Better than coffee.

They really need to fix this ASAP. Anyone on a gamepad is seriously gimped right now.

I highly doubt they've "overseen" it. Just because they haven't answered yet. Calm down. The patch JUST went live like 6 hours before you posted this.

Oh god, I thought it was something of my controller... Motininjoy program, etc...

But after 2.16 I noticed a lot of weird things that really make my gameplay poor... I enslow a lot changing target when using the directionals left-right arrow for changing between characters... The jumping is also enslowed (I like to jump and move everywhere while shoting with my archer, why, you say?... Just for not showing the party I'm another static archer.)

And when I want to activate some of my status skills such as raged strikes, invigorate and others I have in a secondary set of the crossbar... It doesn't obay, sometimes I have to play the same button twice.... It is... Trully annoying.

I hope this is a bug that is going to be solved and not a change planned by Square-enix. It highly decreases the battle quality of gamepad users. I managed to do two dungeons, one with my archer and one with my tanker... My archer seemed a lot more static, difficulty to change between targets, difficulty to cast good some attacks and states... My marauder had difficulty to mark the enemies alright, efficiently, and to hold aggro because it took me ages to use well the overpower skil.

I can confirm the same issue.

Windows 7 64-bit
PS3 Controller via USB

The delay seems to happen after just pressing R2 or L2, as I have to wait a full second to do anything, even navigating menus, after releasing one of those.

Happens the same to me. PS3 with PS3 controller

Well, it's in the game, in a live patch, so clearly they have overseen it.

Yet a Dev replied to the Japanese thread on this matter 28 minutes after the thread was opened over there, this thread was opened 35 minutes after the Japanese thread was and so far it's been over 7 hours and not a single official reply from any of the team... the Japanese thread got 2 official replies in 2 hours on a thread with 10 user posts, just let that sink in.

So what did the reply say?

Im having delays on my controller as well. Everything feels sticky and its more complicated to tank. This needs to be hot fixed, I'm finding it hard enough to continue this game until ps4 launch as it is, with the ps's lag issues.. even with half the games options turned off and graphics at a minimum.

Same here, please fix this right away.

So after 8 hours all we get in English is a rep basically saying "yea we see the issue, here's 2 official statements that the Japanese users got many hours before we even bothered to post about it in the English forums for the tons of non-Jap players, we've nothing additional or informational from us English reps on this matter though, good day."

Way to set your priorities...

CAN'T PLAY LIKE THIS. Fix. It. Now.

This is Happening on the PS3 to.

Just here to voice my unhappiness. Fingers crossed for a fix coming soon

It's a JP game, JP forums will always get first responses IDK what you guys were expecting.

Click. - Finally got the issue translated. - It will be fixed. They know what's wrong and so on.

I appreciate that it's a Japanese-based game, but how hard would it be for them to just drop by and at least acknowledge it, not just let the users ponder if it's going to be sorted or not and have the English users stroll through the Japanese forum and find an official response ourselves, to then get an actual post from a Rep with 2 quotes from what was posted in the Japanese thread... 8 hours later, it's just not on.

This delay is affecting more than just the Hot bar on the PS3 it is also affecting talking to NPC when it comes to cut scenes or when you go to buy an item or go or come out of a menu after buying something or mending gear.

yeah it seems to be if you press to quick after anything it doesn't respond which is definatly not helpful when you have quick fingers :(

So I wasn't going nuts?

I was confused, I thought I broke something on my controller, LOL.

Glad to hear it will be fixed, question is.. when?

Why did they change it?

Same problem here. Ps3 controller on windows version. Looks like they are working on a fix so we just gotta wait on an emergency maintenance.

Indeed, after releasing any of the trigger buttons, you can not do anything for a certain amount of time, not even change targets or confirm the action you just selected (i.e. there's now a delay before you can place ground AoEs).

Apparently, something used to happen if you held a trigger, pressed a directional button, released the trigger but kept the directional button pressed down. To prevent this, they added a certain pre-set delay to... EVERYTHING after releasing a trigger button. At least it fixed that thing... whatever it was.

would love to know what that thing was as it never happened to me :) but now I cant do anything effectively except heal as most of my abilities are on the one bar for that job

There's a delay when targeting too. I noticed it when stoneskinning people as a whm. There really should not be a delay at all tbh.

Ditto... on everything people here are saying...

Hopefully they can address this issue asap for this is game breaking for me.

Yes, glad I'm not the only one here who's been tearing their hair out to wonder what they did to the gamepad settings.

It's especially annoying as tank or healer class being unable to switch to another cross-hotbar set and the game will not let me do this in a timely manner.
Keeps getting stuck/pausing even when I'm spamming the R1/RB button. Was beginning to think I'd have to buy a new controller or something.

This needs to fixed asap. It's almost gamebreaking sometimes to be stuck on a hot-bar, and being unable to access more skills because the game decides screw with you.

THIS IS CRAP.

This needs to be fixed right away, there's more input delay than just the hotbar change, I'm finding new delay on the menu confirmation windows, as in deleting a spell off your hotbar. There's now a whole second delay between the window popping up and you being able to interact with it.

Why is there a delay on any of the buttons on my hotbar, TAKE IT OFF.

Good to hear they will be fixing this. Hope they do it soon.. like within a couple of days soon.

yeah, on twitania last night with gamepad after patch, really nice

This really needs a quick fix. I couldn't play coil 4 tonight due to frustrating delay. Also, don't know if this is related, but i'm freezing when interacting with independent arms mender for about 10 - 15 seconds. Not really happy with the patch so far :(

Thought my controller was on its way out ><. Hopefully they fix it soon.
