Unable to use potions in mid-combat?

Savos_Saren · July 2018

Tonight I was running with my guild and, suddenly, I couldn't use any of my potions... my fellow guildies said the same thing was happening to them. I kept hearing the "ding" sound for potion use... but it wouldn't consume a potion. Is this a glitch? Has anyone else experienced this? Potions aren't magic- so they shouldn't be negated in use. Is there any ability that causes a player to be unable to use potions?

That is the case mid roll, while sprinting, during most of skill animations and in some cases even immediatelly after, during bar swap... etc. The sound goes off, but the potion does not. Just treat your potion button like any other skill button... i think it even is on the GCD

And also while you are CC'ed.

It is definetely in the GCD somehow / somewhere. Have not quite figured it out though.

It was changed a long time ago. And they never fixed the Audio.

Weirdly enough you can use potions while CCd. At least some of the CCs anyway. I can pop a pot during a rune cage.

Potions in general make no sense at the moment.

Really? I need to test that. I just plain stopped trying to use it when CC'ed now. Well, unless of course i am mashing by break free and pot buttons, because im about to get killed during that CC.

It's been like this for a while for me. Might be distorted experience with my pings but it certainly isn't a new problem. Seems like people who live closer to the servers are only really beginning to experience it now that recent DLCs are basically dragging the performance down even for them. And me being on the other side of the Pacific from the server, are experiencing new kind of problems on top of it like no Bat Swarm firing off and yet ult is consumed type of problem. Lots of things to fix there, ZOS.
