There was a thread about it awhile back.

Some guy created a video where he could cause abilities to activate, go on cooldown and nothing happens. It only seems to happen with Cooldowns, rather than abilities on the GCD.

I only have this happen when i have BAD connectiviy and frequent DC'ed which is "very rare" during my play time. and when it does, is actually my ISP.. so i can't realy say anything, because the culprit is my ISP anyway, so.. im' very sorry and sympathy about your problems and several few others.

I've never had this problem. Sometimes it takes "long" to activate, but it always does.

But wasting Hallowed Ground and doing that full cast Raise after a Swiftcast, all the time.

Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

Please read this, and thank you.

It's a shame really. This is the exact reason I quit SWTOR. They had a terrible engine and it always had communication problems with the server, causing "GCD rots" where the animation would play, but nothing actually happened.

Looks like this game is falling down the same path.

You can replicate this by,

1. Using a skill
2. Using the Off global cooldown skill
3. While the Off global cooldown skill is activating, smacking another skill (albeit very quickly).

Slow down, wait for about .5s~1s then proceed.

I've read that SWTOR actually eventually fixed those issues, or mitigated them quite a bit. It's starting to look like that won't happen with this game, seeing as how they keep dodging these huge topics about it, and someone with a lot of technical know how in another thread said it's pretty much not gonna happen without Square investing a LOT of time and money into the issue.

Well I played back in April/May and they still existed. As far as I could gather, it wasn't an issue that could ever be fixed unless they changed engine.

I was wondering if macroing the Off-GCD ability would do anything. Since macroing would cause a delay in using the ability, maybe it's enough time for the server not to have a stroke and have no idea what's going on.

Yeah, neither do I, I just wonder if it creates the necessary delay for the ability not to get eaten.

Last night goofing around pulling way to much stuff in a dungeon and I got a lil a head of heals, they ran up hit beni, I saw the animation, CD was triggered, I recovered 0 hp and died. This happens with hallowed ground all the time as well.
