The game is nice but the combat meh , ever rework?
I guess since this game is up so long already and never nothing changed its not gonna change in future also.

I mean i like the game but the combat bottlenecks the enjoyment quite a bit .

What's bad about it? I see people complaining but nobody explaining

Heavy attack builds for me have breathed new life into the game. I can’t stand weaving it didn’t fit the elder scrolls world. Arcanist not a big fan of but ha oakensoul builds always me to play In a way closer to Skyrim and focus on the story and world and in dungeons just play through the dungeon without worrying about bar swapping and managing dots etc

sorry bro ... but if u srsly new ... and dont like it just leave ... this game already had its toxic casual state - where ppl came ,complained -devs changed things for them ... and they left either way

and dont get me wrong ... l hate eso combat system as well ... mainly because pve is boring AF and pvp is just laggy forgotten mess

But begging for changes when you hardly know the basics is bit too much
It doesn't take a PHD or 5000hrs to know that the combat sucks.

Combat is as well be forever the same from start to finish and forever more.

Honestly I just came back today and the combat felt even more clunkier than I remember as well as some lag spikes in open world PvE for no reason

I played a lot mmo's and ESO have the best combat in all of them

Sarcasm: The combat should be done by single mouse clicking even movement. Like who Apple users based is made.

*Please TESO, DONT change the combat to my comment - this was just a joke*:cozydarkseer:

Animation canceling is BS. Our raid dps is planned as if you do it perfectly but i dont want to cancel animations i want to watch my bigass maul comes crushing.

I actually Enjoy the combat in ESO. I dont see a problem with any of it or the mechanics. WIth ESO combat We can do some dungeons ourselves or join others. its not like LOTRO, WOW, EQ, etc. etc. where you NEED a full on raid. everyone has to know the fight. Know when to stack, know when to put yer left foot in. yer right foot out.l. Turn yer about and cough. and if 1 or 2 people made a mistake because they got out of step in the dance line it was a full on wipe. I left ALL those games because I hated the way dungeons had to be done. Then as players got their gear. they no longer wanted to do the dungeon to help you get yer gear. "Sorry . go get a PUG if ya want yer gear. Thanks for helping me get mine though" Flock that. ESO, is way better , dont care what any of ya say.

ESO's combat is significantly better than the tab-targeting of older MMOs, but the fact that animation cancelling was a bug that the developers couldn't fix basically ruined the combat for me. Double clicking every attack click will destroy your fingers pretty quick.

but its no brainer to ask for changes when you dont even know how to roll dodge .... or what status effect is

the thing lm pissed the most about eso combat is animation cancelling and lack of cooldowns ,and how op status effects are in pvp ...then ball grouping ... and etc

white knights aside got to admit the combat is kinda boring the rest of the game is amazing just combat needs major improvements.

only old ppl like the combat of ESO because the others mmo they played was made at the time of the dinosaurs

eso combat don't feel modern, it's not dynamic, effects are bad and animations too

asians MMO are often a lot better for the gameplay.

And yes you can see the gameplay of eso is bad with just some hours in it, we don't talk about the meta but the feeling.

if they don't want to do a complete rework of the combat system,
a simple change would make the gameplay way better.

-get rid of manualy weapon swap

-make both action bar visible on hud (not hidden behind the other)
if you think that's too many keybind, wow has multiple bar and it's been fine for decades.

-when you use a skill on bar 1, you use your first weapon, and if you use a skill on bar 2, your character automaticly switch weapon to use that skill. (like barbarians, or rogues in Diablo 4)
