Remove Dodge Queue Now - Still Bugged!

Previous thread was deleted.

Now one might argue that a lot of these threads were trying to create rage. They would be wrong, the Dodge Queue is actually the cause for the rage. The simple act of your skill being interrupted by a dodge roll that you used a few seconds ago can be extremely infuriating.
Gives you the sense you are no longer in control of your character because, in fact, you aren’t to an extent.

For those of you who don’t know what Dodge Queue is:

  • Your enemy uses immobilize
  • You use a dodge roll, it cannot activate now
  • You use a skill
  • Snare ends
  • Your dodge roll was queued so now it activates
  • The dodge roll interrupts your skill

The old system

  • Your enemy uses immobilize
  • You use dodge roll, nothing happens
  • You use a skill
  • Snare ends
  • Skill finishes

So skills like Shelter and Renewed Focus can be interrupted by a magical entity and not by the player, I say this because I am not activating my dodge roll when it’s actually happening. These skills go on a their FULL cooldown and sometimes you don’t even get the effects of them to occur.n
This is especially deadly against Mesmers, due to people using RF and Shelter only when they miss the dodge of Sword 3, because now you will almost always interrupt your RF and Shelter and send it on full recharge.

Now the previous thread and all other threads relating to skill queuing for some reason have all been deleted. Make of that what you will.

We have a fix for this incoming.

Let me also add the game does not work without some sort of minimal queing. We will continue to improve the queue to make it unobtrusive as possible as we believe the game should feel more like an action game, but due to its online nature and infrastructure some amount of queing is necessary.

Not going out in today’s build. At the very latest it will be out before the end of the month, but I am expecting it to be sooner. Just fyi.
