dodge roll bug, PC EU.

olesmo

there has been a dodge roll bug in this game for several patches now, it always happen in heavily preasured situations in pvp. would be wonderfull if you actualy fixed that one, because it completely ruins your movement, and puts you in a even worse position then you originaly were in. im holding down W while pressing dodgeroll button, and i dodgeroll backwards. getting quite sick of it tbh ...

@olesmo
On which platform and megaserver are you playing TESO? ZOS cannot investigate your report without that information. (Please read Guidelines for Bug Report Forum

Personally, I never found that binding a key to Dodge Roll worked well for me. Instead, I use the "double tap" method, making sure to make two distinctive "taps" on the Cherry MX Brown key switches.

The downside is that sometimes simply holding a movement direction key down for the configured length of time causes the character to make a Dodge-Roll in that direction. It shouldn't, but I suspect that the input data is sent in two consecutive packets via the Internet and the server interprets it as a "double tap". The outcome is usually irrelevant or trivial but, of course, at just the wrong time, the Dodge-Roll can ruin my day. .....

Which key or keys are bound to the Dodge-Roll function? The defaults are the arrowhead directional keys (shown on the Gameplay Controls card which was included with the DVD from which I installed TESO).

How does your character have "Major Expedition all the time"?? Is your character a Sorcerer with a Stamina build instead of Magicka?

I understand tapping a movement direction key during combat to move the character just "one step" in that direction, or to turn the character to face that direction (especially if you are playing with a First Person view instead of Third Person view). But what does that have to do with Major Expedition?

Major expedition potions. You dont turn your character with arrow keys, you use ur mouse. And for the other question, read the answer above this post

You have yet to disclose which "button" that you "press for dodgeroll". Is that some sort of PvP secret?

So far, you have not provided enough information for anyone to evaluate whether your problem is the result of a bug in the game software instead of user error.

Keep playing your guessing game, and people will begin to consider you a troll.

Apparently, it is possible to use potions to maintain Major Expedition continuously, insofar as the duration on some that I've crafted is 47.6 seconds but the cooldown for using a potion again is 45 seconds. Whether it is feasible to do that over a very long period of time is arguable, given the expense.

I did not state or imply that you "turn your character with arrow keys". I disclosed the fact that each Arrow key is the default keybind for a direction in which a character will execute a Dodge-Roll. Please read our replies more carefully, so that you understand them, lest you reveal that you are functionally illiterate.

And with respect to the "other question", your reply to @Tasear does not disclose which "button" that you have bound to Dodge-Roll. Please read my remarks about that in the post above this one.

There is a 45-second cooldown after using a potion, and there isn't one that provides Major Expedition for 45 seconds. So your character cannot be affected by Major Expedition "all of the time". Certainly, you can use potions continually, but not continuously.

You seem so sure of this.. but there definitely are pots that give major expedition for over 45 seconds when you have alchemy passives.. which is literally any pvp player with half a brain..

Yep has been happening quite a lot lately. But its not related to dodge from my experience, but in general to the direction. Sometimes some things (unknown) decide to override your held direction key and unless you unpress and hold it again you wont move in that direction at all. Combined with dodge roll it makes you dodge in default direction (backwards)

I binded dodgeroll on mousewheel, havent had that happen since I did that, some 2 years ago.

Happen really quite often in pvp and i wish they would change that the standard dodge roll is forward and not backward. Kinda blame it on the pvp lag that it will not register the second key you press to decide in which direction to dodge roll but instead dodge in the standard direction backwards.

well, i think people with decent knowledge of combat mechanics and pvp will know and allso have experienced this issue (as i actualy know from talking with other good pvpers). my keybind for dodgeroll is 9, and i have that on on my mmo gaming mouse. and tbh that has nothing to do with this bug, its when you are in a heavily preasured situation (tons of dmg coming your way).
i appreciate you atemt to help me sort this out, but you also appear to have litte knowledge about the pvp side of this game. and i dont want to write an entire novel on this simple bug.
