Maintenance for the week of November 18:
[IN PROGRESS] PlayStation®: EU megaserver for maintenance – November 19, 23:00 UTC (6:00PM EST) - November 20, 17:00 UTC (12:00PM EST) https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/668861
Every day I ask myself: why should I even play this game? It's laggy. I get 69 ping in Overwatch. Anything above 100ms is too inresponsive for an action pvp game like ESO. And yet I got 120ms yesterday while being totally alone in Imperial City district. And not - it wasn't my ISP or Internet connection as I have PingPlotter logging everything.
A PvP game should have a stable under 100ms ping to be trully responsive. Anything above or random spikes are not acceptable.
They either can't, or don't want to for whatever reason (cost, other effects, etc.), so your choices are either deal with or quit playing. I hear they're putting out a Skyrim: Super-Ultra-Mega Edition.
Disconnected 6 times in a matter of an hour last night just as many loading screens. I'm usually dead or half dead before I have a chance to react to anything. No ultimate cues or animation visuals. Can't see where siege is landing. People running around as living shadows. I've played games 20 years ago on dial up that have ran better than this.... actually most of them did.
Game's performance is at an all time low with an all time lowest pvp population/campaign cap. Your not only asking for the impossible, but also the improbable. ZOS just announced their intentions to make two new games, while only hiring a limited amount of new employees. You think they don't plan to pull devs off of ESO onto those new projects? ESO pvp will go from .5 devs to .125 devs. All about milking that copy/paste cash cow store and tiny dlc/chapter(they won't even call them expansions lol) schedule.

Play The Witcher 3 for your immersive open world PvE experience and Mordhau for your PvP. Problem solved. That’s what’s I’ve been doing anyway and I’m much happier. Sure Mordhau has some bad server days but ultimately it’s a game of skill and the lag never lasts very long.
