movement and controls feel a bit...wonky?

craybest

I've been playing this game for years, but I've always felt like something feels weird, and I think it's controls and movement in general, like it feels, like it lacks some punch, jumps feel like you're on the moon, on slowmo, moving feels a bit slow, and even battles feel somewhat weird. am I the only one who feels like that? I thought it was normal, but after playing other MMOs, I definitely feel like it's not all games that have this feeling.

This game in general just doesn't have a good movement and animation system, as both just feel very rigid. I didn't realise how bad it was until I played GW2, myself, but when I did and came back to ESO, it just felt bad in comparison, to me.

i find much about the game to be unnecessarily tedious which is why i use addons to lessen the strain

i switched my new toons to vamps for the invisible speed running but while it is nice outdoors it's a bit tricky indoors they need to fix running down stairs while invisible imo.

But as i havent played mmos before i ave nothing to compare it too

you're probably right is the best i can say without more lived experience/evidence...

I agree with your assessment about it feeling weird and wonky.

However, with me, it is usually operator error, so I can't blame that on the game

Never really noticed anything wrong with the movement, or the movement controls.

What is wrong however, is how characters fall(slow down) over every small rock or other elevated obstacles. Including when on mounts. And how even small rocks/elevations can send mounts flying hehe.
Another thing that seems wrong to me are the skills... animation cancelling/light attack weaving just feel wrong and completely off.

yeah jumping and falling is weird too, and it looks much more evident when it happens repeateadly between rocks or whatnot. like our character don't have actual weight.

For me, movement feels smoother than other mmorpgs. When there's no lag, that is.

Heh. I exemplify that statement! But yes, the movement in this game has always felt "off" to me.
