Possible Control Bug

[JCServant]

Salutations. I’ve been running my Dominator again after being away from the game for a little over a year and I’ve noticed a consistent behavior change that I don’t remember from before. When I use a control power on an enemy, the effect does not seem to take hold immediately. There is a noticeable delay of a few the target is still able to act, often long enough to retaliate and land an attack before the control actually applies. This happens often enough, so I asked others and another player replicated the issue on his end.  After logging into different characters, it seems sparadic with certain holds/confusions/etc., but once its on your character (at least for that session), it seems to persist.  Logging out and back in seem to help by reducing the window they have control, but the issue was still on my character afterwards. Yet other ATs with the same power had no issue at all.

All powers have a "Animation Time Before Effect". For instance, using Tesla Cage on an enemy immediately notifies the enemy of the power usage, but the hold isn't applied until 0.967 seconds into the 1.667 second animation. If you're seeing a change in that from logging out and in, I would say to check your internet connection or modem for lag.
