Cause of Cyrodil lag

The lag seems to be caused by long duration AOE and, especially delayed detonation AOE.
The chief offender is Proxy det. The more people who use it the worse it gets. When you get large groups of people zerging with it the server grinds to a halt. Caltraps and meteor also contribute but as they aren't used as much as proxy det, their effect is less.
This is why ball groups lag the server to bits more than pug groups. Ball groups all run delayed detonation aoe en mass. Pug groups typically run these abilities sporadically. It is also why Non Veteran lag is considerably less than Veteran lag. The number of people with access to these abilities is limited in comparison to veteran.

✭✭✭✭✭Ice comet affects my performance more than proxy det. Probably explains why non-vet is usually never laggy, even with a lot of people in the same area - it's very rare people have this ability there.0 -

It wasn't the lighting patch. Everybody just happened to get more complex gear and skills/passives the same day the lighting patch dropped. Don't you watch ESO live?3 -

Watch a video from back then pls. No way in hell lag like that occurs from one day to another. And certainly not for the reason they stated. But ZoS would never admit any failures or mistake, which is why we the game is lacking in so many aspects currently and is basically one big bandaid fix.
Yes, I watch ESO live and I am frustrated from hearing irrelevant crap like shield dyeing and whatever else while the PvP part of the game is basically dying because of the lag and the high end PvE part close to non existent anymore.Susano'o

I'm guessing the servers were not made with high end components.PS4-NA-DC

The game's central concept of "PvP in PvP areas and be safe in safe areas" needs to stay the way it is.

There is nothing wrong with bringing this topic up multiple of times.
Sometimes problems are solved by discussion, someone could simply say something that might be very useful to the developers.
Keep talking about it, and hope we find a solution.
