    Game is currently unplayable for most 50% of players gg zos. Like Alcast said it bugs when you have high ping.

    Two words: High Ping.

    Welcome to the luxurious life of an ESO gamer in Sydney, Australia on Xbox. I'm on the EU server and crap like this has been happening since I bought the game.

    It has been significantly worse since TG and now it looks to be even worse for DB. I called it last patch.. I said "soon we won't even be able to light attack properly".

    This character "lock-up" happens with:
    - Bar swap
    - Light attack weaving
    - Light attack, bash, block combo
    - Casting shields (hands come together to cast shield and then character stops casting for no reason).

    Playing with 240-290 ping and I don't know if it's the light weaving or the skill animations, but it feels really off and clunky on a caster character, on my stamdps it's better. You need to make this your top priority Zos, not being able to properly perform is quite disappointing

    oops.. I had a full on fight with my Service provider last night coz of this.......
    I thought it was my latency so i decided to get in their face...

    Their service has slowly been deteriorating and i have been getting slower speeds so last night it all culminated in me exploding in their face due to this bug..

    i was also using a staff, flame staff of torugspact..

    I think I now know what the issue is, there has bee placed an ICD on everything, when I swap bar it now drops my block and stuff like that.
    Why are we putting such a drastic change to the game in terms of combat and not including it or letting us know about it, I believe an ICD on everything is what makes this so bad for high pinged players and can even cause issues for those without high ping

    I feel like a change like this is going to be bad for my ping :(

    It's frustrating. I keep having an issue where I go to light attack, let go of the mouse, but it keeps charging up the attack as if I'm doing a fully heavy. But then the attack goes, and does zero damage when it fires.

    I'm not a high end player by any stretch of the imagination, but I had noticeable issues today on one of my stamplars, weaving Executioner 2H skill and light attacks. I dread to think what this is doing to players in more difficult combat situations, I was only questing in the last silver zone, and it was noticeably choppy and dare I say a bit broken - my light attacks were failing to fire, and when they did, my ability wouldn't fire off afterwards.

    Very noticeable and detrimental to the flow of combat.
