Lag in Maelstrom

Dread_drinks_tea

Seriously. What’s the point of pushing out events when you have a broken game.

Can’t even weapon swap without the entire game freezing, makes the last boss on vet maelstrom real easy! /s

Fix your absolutely broken game before trying to push out new content!

Update: glad to know it’s not just me.. I’ll wait for my perfected gear till after the event!!

Thought it was just me last night, vMA was terrible.

Movement was like being stuck in treacle, and weapon swapping was awful.

ESO lagging almost everywhere atm. Cyro, overland questing, solo main story, dungeons - thats what i know for sure.

Oh, I'm "happy" to see I'm to alone, unplayable at the poison stage, each dodge out of flower and still get it, bar swap are so log, skill animation same, just made me quit the game again and go back gw2.

Remember me the last time in South Elsweyr where while doing GS run it was buggy af, most of the roster including me end-up quitting the game...
Why those latency issue aren't fix after so many year that incredible...

I finished normal MA yesterday. Picked up at the spider arena and that went OK, but seemed slow. Then ran into noticeable lag in the poison arena. Not in AOE, archers down, full health, then BAM! dead.

Thankfully, the arenas after that were OK. I may run it again because double drops are nice. But will nope out if it is laggy from the start.

IC is an unholy lagfest. Game reports 2-3k ping at times....

From Australia (ping 330ish) vMA has always had some lag for me, it always gets worse when events are on.

I presume it is due to server resources being allocated to different regions of the map due to population influx.

Cyrodil has usually had more lag during events for the same reason

Thought it was me as well, thanks OP, at least I know now.

Yeah [snip] is maelstrom so laggy it's a solo instance so event shouldnt effect it so something is royally fubar.

Yeah I had poison plants explode on me that I'd already gotten out of the way of. A couple of times I was perfectly fine and then got hit with multiple attacks that I hadn't even seen. Disclaimer: I am terrible at VmA, but I know how to weapon swap and it just wasn't happening.

UnkindnessOfRavens

Ha! My toon was so confused by the vma lag that she was trying to fire her 2H maul like a bow... Needless to say, she died pretty quickly.

My favorite was when I got heavy attacked by something, and proceeded to just slide across the floor in slow motion for like 5 seconds. That whole place is a meme right now

Performance as a whole has been on a relatively gradual but steady decline over the last year. Last 6 months especially.

This stuff has been around a long time. The game admin has never been concerned, the amount of bugs and automated inane responses is testament.

Happens every event in Wrothgar...

Thannazzar

Ah well only a month to go before an entirely new set of places to explore!

Lucozade85

Lag is happening everywhere, definitely on Xbox EU, and it's not because of this event either. It has been bad for months.

stefj68

the wirling blades area blades are warping for me! real hard to avoid

method__01

everything was ok till final stage 6 boss....couldn't bar swap or throw grenade on target
after 20 minutes i abandoned quest,did a normal all 9 stages run and done with weakly endeavor and event
at least nodes aren't affected by lag so im going to spend my time farming

DarcyMardin

I got DC’d a couple of times in Maelstrom last night, but didn’t notice any lag.

Thanks for the pointless response. Because of course MY MODEM is the issue. I suppose everyone else’s modem is to fault too. CANT POSSIBLY BE THIS GAME /S

Your customer service is about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard.

That isn't how servers work
