Roll Dodge Broken with Gamepad

Currently on the PTS, a Roll Dodge can only be initiated by first Blocking and then tapping Button 1 (A/X), this kills a lot of the freedom of movement present on the Live Server, where a Roll Dodge can be initiated by holding Button 1 before tapping LT/L2 which avoids the slow-down from drawing your weapon and blocking. This is extremely limiting to character mobility with a Gamepad.

    I was confused by this, since I currently roll dodge with a gamepad by blocking and tapping the A button (or X if I could use my dualshock, which I totally should be able to do, but Microsoft has their panties in a wad over it). This is in Live. But then I remember, I'm using the gamepad control set 'B.' Check in the control settings for the gamepad and see if you got swapped to an alternate control scheme. I prefer the mechanic you describe, but I understand it's a matter of preference.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    I use a ps4 remote. You can purchase a $15.00 CAD bluetooth usb off of amazon and download "DS4Windows" which converts the ps4 buttons to xbox. I personally hate xbox controllers. This is a must have. Don't bother with a usb cable, instead use bluetooth, if the cable detaches mid-game, you need to reboot eso after rebooting the DS4Windows program.

    Follow this guide for assistance.

    Welcome to console. Where you need more sustain because you block something every time you dodge roll

    which absolutely sucks, because for the next 2 secs you are penalized to your stamina recovery..

    Is that why my stamina pool gets nuked every time I break free into a dodge roll?

    I think the point here was somewhat missed. Allow me to clarify:

    Currently on the Live Server, a Roll Dodge can be performed by either holding LT then pressing A or by holding A and pressing LT. Holding A and pressing LT allows you to avoid blocking or even drawing your weapon if you're out of combat and just want to roll around, as you immediately go into the roll rather than blocking first.

    On the PTS, the latter no longer works, as holding A and then pressing LT only blocks, rather than performing a Roll Dodge.

    I see. And I did just test this on NA Ps4

    Holding X then pressing L2 does make you roll without blocking. As opposed to the usual Hold L2 Then press X.

    Learned something new today



    So to clarify Holding X(wait till finishing jumping to activate L2 for no blocking dodge roll) was removed on PTS.

    What's great about using a gamepad on PC is the buttons can be changed in Key Bindings just like keyboard keys. So I have Y as Jump, and A solely as interact and then Roll Dodge when used with LT. This PTS change really screws up my movement because of that though.

    From the 4.3.2 notes:

    "Gamepad Mode
    Fixed issue where using the player level sliders sometimes locked them into place.
    Holding A and pressing the left trigger will once again trigger a Roll Dodge."

    Still waiting for PTS maintenance to end to log in, but this is a relief.

    Bar swapping is still a menace. I don't know if it's lag or the controller

    It works now, though it is still forcing a weapon draw, which does not occur on the live server.
