Does ZOS ever plan to fix potions? As in back to pre-1.6 were we didn't have to spam the button ten times to make it work?

    For me it's vice versa, now it works better than ever. At least with the potions.
    But sometimes when I want to use the ultimate, it doesn't work immediately and I have to try again until it works.

    Works fine for me so this issue is very specific.

    I press the button and it makes the sound, but doesn't use the potion. Over and over again.

    Pre-1.6 if worked great. So something they did screwed it up, probably the same thing that prevents mounting a horse correctly.

    Just another annoyance to add to the long list I suppose

    I usually have to press the button twice to get it to work in combat. When I don't want to use a potion, it gets used with the slightest tap of my 'Q' button.

    Lol I agree... In combat, mash that shiz and pray... Running around collecting mats, be careful how hard you press "W" unless you like wasting potions D:

    It just seems like the controls on this game get more and more clunky as time goes on.

    My experience is that "normal" potions (e.g. simple stamina/health/magicka potions) do work better now. Even in combat, I can press Q to use them regardless of what I'm doing. But other potions (tri-pots, spell crit/damage pots, etc) simply won't work unless I'm standing absolutely still. Try to use them during any sort of combat animation and it won't work.

    Ultimates seem choppy too lately. Sometimes I really have to spam that R key to get them going.
