Not being able to light attack!!!!! (Elder bugs online)

SemiD4rkness · February 2016

Does this happen to anybody else? It happens on my sword and board templar all the time, after animation cancelling a bit the light attack wont work and instead when I click once it charges a very slow attack, ive asked a few guildies and friends and it seems that the problem is fairly common. Anybody knows what triggers it? Does it only happen with sword and board? This is getting very frustrating as I like dueling a lot and it's impossible to win a duel without being able to light attack.

Seems to be connected to latency from what I can tell. I have a friend who it happens to from time to time. I was able to replicate it by manually downing my upload.

For me it happens nearly every duel, combine this with lagg and you got an unplayable game.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Are you guys aware of this?

Shogunami · February 2016

Had this a bunch of times too. Mostly on my Nightblade with dual wield but it has also happened on my Dragonknight with sword and board. Amazingly frustrating when it happens, you are forced to do heavy attacks.

Chori · February 2016

Happens to me at least 2 or 3 times a night when i play. I usually fix it by /reloadui .

magnusthorek · February 2016

I have to do 3 mouse clicks and then an ability use to weave nowadays. It's getting ridiculous laggy...

@ZOS_GinaBruno Are you guys EVER gonna do something about the 1000000000000 problems this game has?

Lololol troll questions are troll questions

dodgehopper_ESO · February 2016

Yes this has happened to me intermittently for at least the past few months. I don't recollect when it started, but it was either IC or Orsinium that brought this exciting new feature.

NewBlacksmurf · February 2016

happens with rejuv staff too...

Its just the game is broken....heck even at times, i struggle to open containers cause the UI acts like it doesn't exist until after I roll dodge. The same with attacks.

How is it a troll question?! Why do I get no answer? This is a huge gamebreaking bug and it happens to a lot of people, is everyone so used to this game not working correctly that nobody even cares about such a huge problem?! If you can't light attack then you just can't fight properly. @ZOS_GinaBruno Are you guys gonna do something about this? Or do I have to wait until next DLC?

This! And to not mention when press buttons y inertia (E and then R), the game doesn't recognize the 'E' and we waste an Meteor/Nova/whatever

Thrasher91604 · February 2016

And it happens with destruction staff as well. Also, more recently, ultimate interruptions with both mouse buttons aren't triggering either. In general, the animation cancelling effect seem to be lagging badly and not triggering at times.

In general, higher lag destroys a lot of the gameplay elements.

I've also noticed that clicking on UI elements in menus has recently stopped being responsive for durations as as long as 5 seconds or so.

This sort of unresponsiveness makes me not want to play at all...

i get enough frustration in life that I don't need to deal with this in addition.

Feel the same way, I pay games yo distract myself from real life issues but it just make it worse now.

I_killed_Vivec · February 2016

Has been happening to me recently on a destro staff - completely throws out any rhythm to weaving.

Every other heavy attack seemed to go into slow motion, lock in the pulled back position and never fire (oo err).

SemiD4rkness · February 2016

Well seems like devs dont really care

Lord_Ejl · February 2016

I had similar problem today while grinding boneshards. Sometimes my attacks just didn't leave from my staff. sometimes when i got stunned, i couldn't break free with 100% stamina, and as a squishy sorc, that's bad, even against NPC mobs. Tested my mouse with Batman game, both buttons reacted the way they should. We all know those games rely heavily on mouse pressing

I started with almost 3k stones, when i got enough of the buggines, i was at ~1800 + gold for repairing.

ahstin2001nub18_ESO · February 2016

heavy and light attacks for me, fail to execute. typically i know its going to happen, because it seems every second ability is failing to execute. dodge rolling seems to be a player "fix" to it.

cause? my experience leans toward CC abilities and/or stun (knock-backs may also be applied but not sure) abilities executed on the player. more testing required to zero in on this being the culprit.... good luck without combat text scrolling.

mb10 · February 2016

Happens to me as well

The only fix that works for me is to not animations cancel for that attack and make sure the light attack goes through first. Then start the pattern again.

this is my second theory to the root cause. it would be harder to confirm, as im too lazy to consciously animate cancel, though still seem to have this issue, potentially for the reasons of inadvertently animation canceling....

Shardaxx · February 2016

Switch weapon.

Thrasher91604 · February 2016

Except when weapon swap doesn't work either because animation cancelling failed again. Happens all the time to me.

Edit: well tonight it worked fine. But there was little lag overall.

SemiD4rkness · February 2016

Has any of you reported the bug?
