Swapping abilities in combat

TrinityBreaker

ZoS can this please stay as a permanent feature? Because I dont know about everyone else I often get stuck in combat out in the middle of nowhere. I can be between keeps in pvp with no enemy players for miles or buttfuck nowhere in overland pve with no trash mobs to be seen but still be stuck in combat. Like really? I may have fought someone or something 30 years ago but still seem to be in combat because I'm fighting their soul or some ***.

People have been complaining about being stuck in combat for ages and not being able to mount or slot skills/consumables until you've traveled the distance of your parent's disappointment that you didn't become a doctor, but let's go ahead and fix a small glitch that's helpful to players instead of fixing the bigger glitches that hurt them.

EXACTLY. I never understood the logic of ZoS. Fixing bugs/glitches that are fun, harmless and helpful. But leave game breaking bugs in for months on end.

Oh? And swapping skills programmatically is still working?

No, they removed it this patch.

I would understand why they wouldn't implement it in pvp instances, but in pve it should be a feature, yes.

lol Great post. Love the humor.

This problem does suck, and has sucked for a long time now. I believe the solution though is to just fix the bug (or whatever it is) to where players can actually leave combat in a timely fashion. If they were to allow ability swaps during combat it would cause all kinds of problems and birth abominations in the form of addons that players would be expected to download and use to maximize their parses.

I see your point of that being an issue and honestly it sounds dope. Unfortunate for me is that I play on xbox and wont be able to capitalize on that would-be beautiful addon.

Well some people like that sort of thing. A lot of people actually. So I'm sure you'd have plenty of company. I'm one of those old fashioned players who don't like addons that give distinct advantages over others who don't use them.

Haha, will not argue that

The issue could be better solved by making you 'stunned' for a certain period (let's say 5s) if you swap a skill while you are in combat. That would make it impossible to use it to be more Op, but would also be a workaround against the being constantly in combat bug that we are having. So if you have a certain down time in which you can make no action and will just take damage then you certainly will not be swapping skills while you are in actual combat as that would mean a certain death.

idk

My guess is Zos will go back to allowing us to change skills while we are in combat as long as we had not taken or given damage/heals in a short period of time.

The reason is that their conscious changes to make it so we could not do that is what probably created the new in-combat bug that is totally absurd being that we can be put into combat when at one of the main bases where nothing can attack us and can even persist through death. If they were willing to change it back while they worked on figuring it out they would have done that last year.

So being that Zos seems bent on not doing that and seems incapable or disinterested in fixing it this is ESO PvP for now. Unfortunately.
