PS3 Controller Hotbar problems

[Camate]

Greetings,

Below are a couple of comments from Hiroshi Minagawa about the issue being experienced where there is a delay when trying to switch between hotbars with the gamepad.

We are currently investigating this as a bug.

No changed were made to the R1 button feature, but it’s possible that it was affected in some way from other change. Due to this we will be looking into the implementation history and searching for the change that is causing this.

I understand this is a really severe issue and I will make an announcement with further details as soon as possible.

We’ve determined the cause of this issue and I would like to give you a breakdown of the situation.

• The Change Causing this Issue
  
  

  Directly after executing an action set to the directional buttons on the cross hotbar, if you release the hold on the L2 and R2 buttons and are still pressing the directional buttons, it acts as an anchor. Please fix this.
  In order to address the above, we added a process that would disable button input for a set frame right after releasing the L2 and R2 buttons. The L1 and R1 buttons were also included in this, which is creating a delay when switching due to the disable input period.
  
  
• Method to Fix the Issue
  We’ll be reverting the above change back to the 2.15 functionality.
  This is the quickly method to address this issue.
  
  
• Hotfix Schedule
  I’ll be confirming with the programmers and the QA team for when the fix can take place.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and once we’ve decided on the Hotfix schedule I will be sure to make an announcement.

Please fix this soon because the game is currently unplayable for anyone that uses a gamepad.

I'm able to play just fine with my ps3 gamepad so this isn't affecting all people.

Either you only use one hotbar, or you don't notice it because you are slow. It is affecting most people and it IS gamebreaking.

Never said it wasn't gamebreaking. I don't consider myself "slow" or what not and I use 2 hotbars actually.

Or he have a macro in some of his crosshotbar slots that switch to another cross-hotbar without problems.
I did it while leveling Arcanist. And do it with other classes as well because I find it easier and faster.

Actually I don't use macros at the moment I just have what you might call a simple play style I only use 2 hotbars and use R1 to go through them I am assuming because of my play style I havent really experienced this bug as severely as others have.

Technically, this is correct. Some people don't notice it until you have them try very specific things.

But it IS something that is universally happening with all gamepads. Whether the individual is "effected" is a matter of them noticing.

Indeed that's true.
