Everything except for looting has a sluggish response time, leading to an uncertainty that your input was accepted, or simply an impatient wish that the input was acted on more quickly. Not only in combat, but when interacting with the environment. I too spam the buttons for some actions in ESO, a habit I developed almost immediately after I started playing it. Combat in ESO (ability activation and light attacks in particular) just feels low quality in terms of "ergonomic" and "habtic" UX feedback. For years there are changes to numbers, changes to balancing, changes to skill effects. However, using an ability in Diablo also gives you clear GUI feedback that it has worked.įor a game that is so many years out there, I would really expect more polish in an area that you use 90% of the game-play. Though even in Diablo you can keep the button pressed at one enemy, and your character keeps attacking. Yet ESO is without the good Diablo-style GUI / UX feedback. Somehow the controls are somewhere between your standard MMO with cooldowns (like WoW) where you press once, and get clear feedback through the hotbar (cooldown) that it worked (some games also remember the button press for a while and it gets queued at the end of the actual action being executed) and an action RPG on the other side (like Diablo, Torchlight, etc) where it is more direct. Getting a click rhythm for light attack is not an easy flow, so instead I just click multiple times.
It feels like I just click into the void, spamming the keys. In ESO, I press the button, and there is no feedback, no indicator. In games that have a good ergonomic implementation of the controls, you always know that the press was accepted by the game and will be executed, and you get clear feedback if that is not the case. To me it feels like lack of control and precision of use. In ESO I have never really got the feeling of knowing at what point my button press will be recognized.
