Oh, I thought it's my connection. But seeing everything else works on my end, - same for me! feels like combat is rubber-banding 70% of the time.

I've noticed the sluggishness in skills firing. In this game, skills not firing has been a problem, but when they did fire, they fired right away. Now there can be a delay, which is really noticeable because the skill sound is delayed.

PvE and PvP I've noticed this as well. I wasn't sure if was me, but I do not remember delays being this bad before the update. One thing I really noticed is that I'm not firing spec bow a lot despite pressing the skill after doing my 5th LA. I press it but it's a dead input. Nothing has changed with my timing of the skill, but I'm suddenly missing it a lot. There have also been several times where skills I knowingly activated are not actually on, such as wall of elements and flames of oblivion. Casting Synergies also puts an extreme delay on your character. I play a lot of ZenDK in PvE and have gotten used to using every synergy I see pop up. Synergies are supposed to be on a separate cool down which means they shouldn't block skills or LAs, but when I'm using a lot of synergies, I can see and feel my character running behind on inputs as if they're being queued by 1-2 LAs + skills and being played out automatically. I have to stop and let the queue complete or else I'm going to end up missing inputs.

Same here. Abilities firing after a key press seems delayed, if even by a microsecond. Sometimes nothing happens at all. I actually had to check to see if the keys on mouse and keyboard were working.

There also seems to be massive delays when I target an enemy in that my ability does not go off because even though on my screen there were in my crosshairs, on their screen they were 20 feet away.

I notice this a lot on a sorc when using heavy attack lighting staff. Pressing and holding the mouse button for a HA does nothing. The sorc makes a fast "about to attack" animation, but does not carry through with the attack. I have to make multiple engagement attempts for it to fire.

I am also (in PVP) going from full health + shield to death screen without ever seeing combat. I literally just go from alive to dead as if the combat portion was edited out. Makes no sense.

Yea I thought it was my mouse and keyboard. So I went through my boxes and pulled out my old set. But it's the same feeling.

Going full alive to dead in 1 frame. Instant skills stuck at first animation frame while the world goes on around. Missing cast animations on the cast skills and just insta damage, sometimes even while I'm in cc. Tabbed to a target in front, but skills fire to the left as another player leaves or flanks the fight. Heavy and light attacks animate but no damage only the skill. Some aoe skills hitting a target Dodge rolling, being hit in the Dodge animation but not 1s after the finish of the Dodge animation.

It's a full detachment from what's going on the screen. Even when it's been horrible latency you can adjust to what's going to a degree. But there is no cadence to hold on to.

I know what you mean. I constantly get killed while iframing in a dodge roll...how? I dunna...but when my best option for not being hit is not working...well it crreates a lot of frustration.

I have spent a lot more time playing other games. It has felt old and boring lately.

I'm doing the same...playing other games for now.

Its noticeable yes. Def a delay in there coming from somewhere.

The game used to be fast and free-flowing. That was it's draw compared to other similar games.

Now it feels like running in honey.

Skills seem to buffer and then spring all at once. Blocking is a 50-50 chance despite reacting to enemy telegraphing.

I even interacted with something as innocuous as a Lorebook this morning and it took about 2 seconds to respond.

The game is getting old and it feels like it too.

I can confirm that. Skills not firing is worse than ever. I often have to press the ulti button 3 or 4 times before it finally fires... Many times bar swap doesn't work and I cast the wrong skill. Especially annoying as a tank when you want to taunt or when the wrong ulti fires as a dd or someone dies because a heal didn't fire.
It really annoys me that I had to subscribe to eso+ to be able to play the new dungeons. I certainly won't be spending any more money on ESO any time soon. It's outrageous to announce improvements and then everything is just worse.
