Buggy first person combat with 2 handed weapons

There is problem while using 2 handed weapons in first person combat where if you use light auto-attacks it shifts to third person for a split second before going back to first person.This is not a once in a blue moon bug,it's happening consistently when you do that.It also happens when you attack and move and it's unique to 2 handers,doesn't matter if it's mace/sword/axe.

This problem was here even before the previous update but it was there in a lesser degree.This new update made it a HUGE problem.I'm actually surprised noone's talking about it.

For clarity i'm using no addons.

    Probably noone has noticed it because only few players use 1. person in combat at all. Not advisable, since your field of view is so limited and you see effects, attacks, and mechanics way too late. I'm surprised that there are actually players who use 1. person in combat. I mean, in dungeons or raids, that would be pretty suboptimal. Of course there is still this bug but best workaround would be to fight in 3. person view which gives you significant advantage.

    You are right that in dungeons and pretty much all instanced content it's far superior to go third person and probably in overworld as well but the thing is i would very much like to stay in first person for overworld since it's the easier,more relaxing content in this game.I started going third person specifically in instanced content because i kept getting clipped due to low visibility but that's not a problem in overworld.Nothing is that dangerous really,i just want to relax and have fun in first person but it's incredibly,unfathomably jarring to have this bug happen.It's best experienced that described.

    In my opinion,what's even the point of having first person if they can't maintain it to work at the most basic level?

    ZOS ruined most animations when update 49 was released. Its all broken and no one gives a damn. My character looks like an idiot when fighting with weapon and shield.

    If we're being honest i've never seen any other game have messed up animations like this,at least mmorpgs wise.Really disheartening to see but i'm slowly leaving first person so i guess i won't care too in time...

    But they should either fix it or disable first person completely. What bothers me the most is the fact that ZOS won't acknowledge it.

    To be completely honest it makes the game look amateur(ish) - an early access game with low budget. And we all know that's not the case here.
