Is it my imagination or is roll/dodge even more unreliable than weapon swap?

My Nightblade has reasonably high stamina and a high stamina regen and I rely a lot on rolling and dodging out of the way. Roll/dodge response has always been ropey at best, but in Cyrodill I can be hammering the arrow keys frantically, with a full stamina bar, to get out of and nothing happens. It's as if roll/dodge has no priority what-so-ever.

✭✭✭✭✭LOL was just thinking about this. its one of those abilities that are so touchy when I don't want it, but when I do, just does not happen quick enough. I'll use spoiler but everyone should have seen one of these parts by now...
When I first started the game and went tothe Harborage for the first time and the Prohpet was showing me around. As we were walking down the narrow cliff, I was impatiently running circles around him. Next thing I know, I'm rolling right of the edge and actually died in the Harborage
Fast forward to yesterday and I'm doing a world boss. I go to roll as I see a big red triangle toward me. I get zapped to hell, and then the roll goes off.

✭The double-tap mechanic is hopelessly unreliable and always has been, it's laughable such a 'twitch' mechanic is in such a sorry state.2 -

✭✭✭✭Have you checked/adjusted the timing under SETTINGS?
I've had this arbitrarily reset on me before. Make it hypersensitive and then back it off to suit your personal timing.
@technohic , that's right up there with hitting the button, dying, rezzing at wayshrine, and then having the dodge go off.LOL was just thinking about this. its one of those abilities that are so touchy when I don't want it, but when I do, just does not happen quick enough.

✭Without question this has been my biggest pet peeve since beta. I have died more times than I can count because this ridiculous mechanic is so freaking unreliable. Keymapped it, tweeked god knows how many things to make it work better, and it is basically anyone's guess when and where it will work. I wish to god they would FIX this. VERY annoying.2 -

Its your imagination on both.
Go into the key bindings and settings.
Change it so that each is activated at the press of one button. Heck, I even have done so and I play 100% on a controller since BETA.
Its just you

rawne1980b16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Me and double tap roll aren't on speaking terms.
There are times, when I really need it, that I beat the keys and nothing happens. There are other times, like during a castle defence, when i'm trying to perch myself on the edge to get a good shot and I end up rolling off.
I hate double tap roll.
I hate it with the passion of a thousand burning suns.0 -
jeevin✭✭✭✭✭It's a Eso thing that isn't exclusive to roll dodge or weapon swap. Sometimes it's abilities not firing or sometimes it's a delay when you go to farm a node among other things. The problem is deep in the code and I doubt it can be fixed.1 -

Right, because single-button commands never fail in this game.Edited by MasterSpatula on January 31, 2015 1:04AM"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle1
