Haven't been in the campaigns in about a week. My previous impression was not that awesome, but I figured I just needed to level up. Joined again tonight to have some pvp fun.

-First, everyone is a caster in LA with staves. It's just out of hand.
-There was literally 4 seconds of lag. People could not even open doors at the keep.
-The chat was some sort of ESO complaint center. Sort of a bummer.

The lag finally let up to about two seconds. Found a group and spent way too much time getting to them just to get rolled by a larger group. The entire time it was just hitting buttons in everyone's general direction because of lag. Fortunately I had a destro staff so I could be like everyone else.

The few fools who were melee just got rocked.

I wouldn't really even call it pvp. It's just zergs with lag and aoe. I like pvp to be a little more personal.

If that is truly the endgame, I don't know what to say. It might be fun if you had an organized group of people, but where are you going to meet them? In one of the 5 trading guilds you belong to?

Overall, it's terrible.

    Nah, you just picked a terrible moment to try pvp out. It has been this horrible since the latest patch. Previously there was little to no lag. I don't know what they screwed up but they have to fix it asap.
    As for melee, it is know it isn't as viable as magic. I am playing with a staff and 1h+shield and it works incredibly well. Also I PvP hours every day and see plenty of people with warrior or assassin builds. The ones that know how to play can stun and burn down casters with no problems.
    I had some extremely fun fights today, even with the lag, and it's not just zergs and aoe. Wait until they sort this latency issue out and play it again.
