Literally never. Look at every other game. Has lag every been fixed in any other MMO?Bright light casts a long shadow1 -
Requiemslove✭✭✭More than two years.Lag is lag. You can go months at a time without a single bit of it and then be hit with ten minutes of hell. This is true in all games with online capability. You cant fix lag forever. No matter how good your internet is, how good the servers are, your location to the servers...lag can never be fully erased.3

pugyourself✭✭✭✭One year.I'm thinking a year. They will upgrade their hardware based on console sales and gameplay (avg time spent etc) of said players.0

rileynotzb14_ESO✭✭✭✭More than two years.I don't think the lag has anything to do with hardware or the internet. It's that the code is rotten at its core. This is why they cut Cyrodiil pop cap from 3000 down to 450 and still the game has heart failure when armies meet.Edited by rileynotzb14_ESO on April 9, 2015 1:42AM1

If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!0 -

✭✭✭More than two years.I (DC) just had a lovely tea party with some AD on Azura's. The lag was so bad that we couldn't really hard each other, and could /sitchair, /whisper and such without lag, but abilities took 5+ seconds to discharge. For those who don't PvP, know this also allows someone to come along and cast 15 (inneffectual) Meteors in a row on our tea party, which doesn't really help lag, either. Now I can't log in, getting the ever-informative <<1>> error.0 -

✭✭✭More than two years.I gotta go with never. I give all MMOs at least 6 months to be in a good state. At 6 months you usually know how it's going to go. Also no game has ever gotten better after switching business models. This is literally the best the game will ever be.1 -
Jackles✭More than two years.It's a shame.
I'd like to hope it'll be dealt with, but I normally don't have too many issues with lag as it is, I'm more hoping for those who do experience it badly.NA, AD, V14 Breton Sorcerer (:0 -
Knootewoot✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭More than two years.You forgot the option "Never".
I doubt it will be ever fixed. It was fine at release though, but I don't think they will do a rollback to last year. But every new version it gets worse. Yesterday during the day it was fine. But when I wanted to play prime time the minute I got in and immediately my weapon swap didn't work immediately, fired wrong skills, could not get of horse, could not use doors. It was bad.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -
How can they fix it though as there are too many variables?
Upgrading the hardware server end will help with processing the information sent by the number of clients. The clients can upgrade/tweek settings so that it can process the information by the server. But it still has to go through the internet, and it's the internet that is the weakest link, it's the only part of it that is not willing to upgrade or drag their heals when upgrading the network.I, as a loyal member of the Foamy Cult, do solemnly swear to live a logical life free of stupidity, ignorance and all round jack assery. I shall do my best to enlighten those in need of Squirrelly Wisdom in hope of one day ridding the world of human idiocy. This I swear.0 -

you laugh as if it's an obvious answer. the lag has been going strong now for over a year.Edited by rileynotzb14_ESO on April 9, 2015 5:26AM0 -
Robotmafia✭✭✭Less than a year.I haven't had lag for a year... beginning was pretty smooth for a launch (for me, wont speak for others) in the middle we had some lag in pvp.. then it got better again and now its mostly ok except in bigger pvp battles and some over populated areas... again just my experience but this feels like a needles topic to discuss... im pretty sure they are aware of the lag since its been mentioned quite often...Robot Who Owes Money: Look into your hard drive and open your mercy file!

They might be aware of lag but it doesnt make it less frustrating. In pve yesterday - as usuall moments of latency spikes - skills not firing, character immobilized for few seconds, few times perma mount case, nothing i cant handle with just minimal frustration, but me and guildies were doing vet pldege - fungal you see. What should take us no more than 0.5 h took us over 2 h. First and last boss were particualry infuriating.
I returend on 12 march and im already getting tired. I admit i dont have any game breaking issues like some of my guild mates, but i can take only so much of constant smaller frustrating issues - faulty UI, vr ranks still here, problems with finding people for group activities, etc, etc, and on top of that lag not only in pvp (sadly i got used to it) but also in pve where i dare to say its even worse. In pvp if you are hit by lag, usually all players friends and enemies alike are hit by it. In pve getting lag during harder fight usually means wipe.0 -

✭Outside of Cyrodiil I rarely, if ever, got any lag. Then came B2P...
It's the increase in population in concentrated areas that makes it bad, Cyrodiil battles being one example, Gold Pledges during prime time being another.
They need to invest in more hardware and perhaps look at recoding to better handle the load. Especially if free weekends are going to become the norm.Allow cross-platform transfers and merges0 -

Yeah iv experienced the dungeon lag issue a few times doing pledges. This is what worked for me: reform grp and reset the instance.. this has fixed the issue every time (for me)
