Just me or does combat seem clunky?

I play ESO off and on. My main is only level 26 and I play on ps4.

Like the title says, it seems like the combat is not very responsive a lot of the time and sort of laggy altogether. I have great internet speed, I use Ethernet, I have a ps4 pro and I play with the controller connected.

Not just combat but things like sprinting, sometimes I have to click the analog stick like 5 times for it to register.

It really makes combat frustrating when I have to press buttons like a mad man. My poor controller has taken a beating from this game lol.

Anyone else have this issue?

It's most commonly caused by input lag caused by server instability. We get this on PC too. It's especially bad this week in certain areas because of the free to play week.

Yea that makes sense.

Aside from server lag, the battle system in general isn't very responsive/smooth.Maybe because I'm used to single player RPGs and that's just how MMOs tend to behave?

On a side note, I wish they'd fix weapon swapping. Ditch the animation or something.

What is the problem with weapon swapping outside then it don't trigger?
No animation canceling would make weapon swap harder as you would have to wait for the previous animation to finish before you could swap, that is part of the issue with swap now too if you have to much lined up.
On pc I have one button for swap to front and one to swap to back, feels it makes it works better.

And because of ping times and server side calculation combat is less fluid than an single player game.
