Thread: UI and animation sync issues - Will 2.0 fix this?

What we have currently:
You attack an enemy with a WS -> client get dmg calculation from the server -> Enemy hp bar get smaller -> WS animation start

This was the first I noticed during the beta and thought that should be a bug.

What I want:
You attack an enemy with a WS -> client get dmg calculation from the server -> WS animation start -> Enemy hp bar get smaller (during or after the animation)

The showed dmg should not be before the showed attack

The enemy can die during the animation.
