PS3 Controller Hotbar problems

[JayCommon]

I didn't read through every single post here, so forgive me if someone else mentioned this, but this 'bug' affects more than just my cross hotbars. I have experienced the same game breaking lag that most of you have. I FLY through my hotbars. Since early access I even trained myself as a level 1 archer to be able to effortlessly switch between hotbars by putting Sprint (when I had no mount) on hotbar 2 and return/teleport on hotbar 3. This worked very well for me, because now at a moment's notice without even thinking I can switch between hotbars on the fly. Even a millisecond of lag I would have been able to detect, like most said this is terrible for me.


But as we see, a fix is being implemented.

What troubles me is I have seen nothing said about the targeting of mobs. I have been heavily affected in this way as well. I always use Right and Left on my D-pad to cycle through mobs. It's very easy because there aren't many things I need to do with my left thumb. I am suffering from large amounts of lag from this as well. The cycle action now lags about to the same degree of the hotbar lag, AND on top of that I have to now spam the X button to get my new target to accept. I used to be able to Hit Right on the D pad to get to the mob I wanted to target and hit X to begin targeting it instantaneously. We will say .5 seconds to give it a number. Now it takes about 3-5 seconds for those simple actions to be performed.

This is not acceptable for end game dungeons, even on a low rotation such as a BRD. I have 2 full hotbars of skills that I need to be able to use on the fly, and my 100% DPS Uptime is being affected by the targeting issue.

Is anyone else being affected by the targeting issue? Again, if I missed someone's comments or replies in this regard I apologize. Just fixing the hotbar will not be enough for me, and so far all I have read about is the hotbar lag.

ive experienced this too but i attributed it to the same problem, as i believe the bug itself was stemming from holding the triggers and using the direction pad hotkeys, i did a little bit of screwing around last night and noticed that it was only when i had just released the hotbar after using a key tied to the direction pad that i got lag in switching hot bars or targets.

i play a healer so being able to change targets on the fly multiple times in one fight is pretty much the core of my job description, this bug was greatly affecting my performance
