Poitons/Ults/Skils not firing/ Characther lock up

As the title says, this is not even delay, im just straight up not able to use any skills or potion for 6-7 seconds straight.

Anyone knows if this is a sprint bug or what?

I call it the sprint bug, cause you seem to move at sprint speed while moving, and sprinting prevents abilities from being cast.

For anyone wondering what we are talking about:

You can see me try to activate abilities on my bar, to no effect. Also, watch my stamina bar do all kinds of weird stuff. (Saving up sprint cost and spending it in bursts? idk)

Im so glad they are putting Snow Treaders in the game, ill be using it on all my toons for sure till this is fixed.

Thing is i dont watch my stambar like a hawk every second, also my skills dont get greyed out when this happens, so its not even easy to identifiy.

Since the last update where they compressed the game, desyncs, lag and new bugs that make end game content unplayable have been the everyday life for all players.

This is the result of people accepting the fact that this game has serious issues and not standing up for themselves.

As long as crown store keeps making money and people buy chapters, you can expect nothing to get better. Only worse.

This developer only has respect for streamers who promote the game to people who have yet to buy it.

PvE - Serious issues that as far as I can tell, Zos has no intention of resolving.
PvP - No profit in this and if you've been in Cyrodiil you will see the performance has gone all to hell.

Has Zos said anything about fixing, or trying to find out what happened? No.

Any game developer with respect for their customers would have saved a working backup of the game before making such changes in case something bad happens.

Bottom line, you all paid for a broken game. Congrats.

Actually, ZOS follows the exact same market strategy as every other AAA game company in past decade or so:

New content releases provide the most revenue, and hence it takes priority over everything else.

Couple this with a limited team, so as to not have a bloated budget, the amount of time/manpower allocated for polishing/bugfixing is simply not enough.

Trust me ZOS values I_Luv_Ponies_69 who buys every dlc/chapter. logs in for a couple weeks to go through quest content, drops some bucks on the crown store then dips out, over XxX_GodG@mer_XxX,who maybe buys chapters, might have eso plus, and logs in every day for 12 hours straight.

ESO is not the only triple A game out there, where bug fixing and polish has taken a backseat over new content.
Its clearly the dominating market strategy in the west, and not just in MMO-s.
Go on youtube and search for : "Chris Wilson GGG GDC talk" , he is the lead designer behind Path of Exile, that follows a similar model,albeit free to pick up, heavily relies on new content releases to push cash-store sales.
In short: IT just Works.
Sad but it is what it is.
