It was fixed - for the most part - on the previous patch, but one day before the last patch and the day after, all hell got loose, once again.

Crapping on my rotation just because i cant activate the followup ability and what not. This thing puts me off the worst.

Yikes, that's bad news :(

im refering to clicking the ability, GCD used, ability not fired.

its been a few months this issue, where have you been man?

I've had it happen lots of times.  You click an ability and nothing.  Or there is a delay.  I don't know why some people experience it and others do not.

Heh, I'm still having issues with skill 'hitching'.  This is especially noticeable on my Sentinel when I try to hit a skill like force sweep and my toon does a double jump if I accidentally hit the button more than once.  Then the skill doesn't go off and if I try to do it again and mess up the process repeats all over.  For some reason I don't seem to notice the problem on my ranged characters as much so I'm just going to shelve melee toons for good.

Happens way more to my sniper now than ever before =(

That's the issue they fixed, and they did fix it.

Not sure what you are referring to.

And with Republic classes having longer animations for some strange reason.... you know what that means right?

Have fun spending even more time in Huttball on Empire side..... as even more Republic players will drop out if this isn't fixed asap!

But it's not just PVP, in PVE everything becomes slower as well and more difficult too, as our DPS has gone down because of this, while mobs still attack you at the same speed.

    Strangely enough, my son and I, playing on two different rigs and from Hawaii no less, still are having absolutely no problem with this.  Not saying it is not a problem, just can't see it myself to say it is either.

I've not had any ability lag but I sure as hell don't like the new Ability Bar situation! How could you fuck up something so simple. Not to mention the drag and drop changes that were either stealthed in or a bug (like hi-rez textures anyone) that I thought was on my end.

I'm starting to feel like that chick back in 2010 talking to Obama during a rally: "I'm getting tired of defending you and your policies!"

It's most appearent during PVP, because it's so intense and pushes you to the max with your character and it's abilities, that you will notice it.

But now since yesterday's patch it has also become very noticable during PVE, like your character has suddenly become a lot slower with longer GDC. really frustrating.

It happens everywhere. PVP, PVE u name it. In pve where u follow a strict rotation, 2 seconds delay on your rotaion due to the skill not firing when you commnand it, its disaster.

Oddly enough, My wife and I play from Ewa Beach as well and have not experienced this issue either, lol.

I have to agree, there is still a major issue. I have noticed however, when the server population is LOW, the problem doesn't appear to be an issue. So it may just be server related. I know my hits that I can only fire from behind a target, might not fire for 10 seconds even while standing directly behind the target with a good gap. So they still have large issues to fix.

Honestly, mine seems to have improved. Only thing I noticed with this last patch is for whatever odd reason the hotkeys stay "faded" for a few after using an ability that gives the appearance you still cannot use any other ability. You still can use them though. Not sure why that was tinkered with and took some getting use to since of course at first I thought I couldn't use them.

Overall though, the ability lag or skills not going off seems to have been resolved for me. Rather unfortunate if it is still an issue for others. Maybe it is once again relevant to the class you're playing?

he's been right here, steadfastly denyning said issue ever existed.

I didn't notice any difference after the last patch other than the added graphical effects to make it more apparent when your GDC is up and when abilities come off cooldown.

Also only really play ranged classes at this point.

But I never experienced any issues.... ever... but then again I'm not a button masher, I know when my abilities are available and press the button.. it just works.

Don't need to sit there going 1 1 1 1 1 1 while the GCD is resetting.

I have no idea why you and some others insist this was causing the issue.

I recently graduated to a non clicker by mapping my attacks to a  G700 mouse (birthday present from my friends who do not game) and I play on a US server from Europe. I have not had this problem either nor do I have an internal timing in my head. I have not really had any problems like this but I do not PvP so may be I am not frantically trying to hit an ability when my  energy is low or GCD is on CD because I am desperately trying to kill or not be killed.
