    My ping has been normal or better than normal but there seems to be increased latency regarding actions whether mounting/dismounting horses, heavy attacks hanging or prematurely terminating, people being kicked form trials (happened last night in Lucent Citadel). This is unacceptable when we pay a monthly ESO+ fee.

    This is a trial I see a LOT of complaints about. Has there been a thread or anything created to kind of track complains related to specific content? Not sure if it's even needed... may just help the team rack and stack so to speak.

    Not that I've seen. That being said it's happening out of trials as well. It seems unpredictable IMO.

    On April 26,In Lucent Citadel was kicked out of the server continuously.
    This happened to more than one person, ZOS, please optimize your server.

    This is the worst big ticket game lag wise that I have ever played, it started well no lag in pve at all, then May 2024 something changed, ZOS would have to know exactly what they did, but they are silent. Sometime the lag is so bad, it takes ages to get the daily crafting writs off the board. Well done ZOS for making a great game not fun to play

    Has anyone suffered extremely high latency lately?

    Within only a few weeks my average latency has gone over 100 higher.

    The only noticeable lag I’ve been experiencing in PvE is audio lag. The sounds for like combat skills or looting containers will drop out for anywhere from a half second to a few seconds. It’s really noticeable when casting Fatecarver on my Arcanist.

    I’m on PS5 and have been getting the audio lag since the Gold Road chapter release last year.

    It's definitely noticeable in an instanced mode comapred to overland. I've thought I'd dabble in some arenas and it's just as bad as pvp. Even solo or with just max 2 of us in there.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    Yes but it’s temporary for about 20-30 seconds after changing zones or going back to my house where it jumps up to 500+ms then the ping goes back to normal at 80-100ms. My ping has generally been normal or better than normal numerically but I’ve noticed increased latency/lag in actions such as trying to mount my horse and there being a delay using combat prayer or elemental blockade - these skills seems to be particularly affected for me.

    Audio lag in pvp has been a thing for a few years now. I'm curious to know the technical aspect of how this happens. Such an odd bug I've never really encountered in any other game before.

    But, but but, it's all us players, don't ya know? Check your router, check your connection, re-assign this, take your computer apart, burn sage around it to purify, put it back together and pray. It's certainly NOT anything to do with servers! Nope, nope, nope. ALL PLAYER, no service issues AT ALL. /sarcasm.

    Hyperbole aside, that was the gist of the response I got after several weeks of regular latency increase.

    Very much the same here. What's really bugging me is that the audio lag is noticeable even from the log in screen, that "chunk" sound after pressing enter or "play" from character screen is often also lagging. Noticeable is that when I have that kind of audio "feedback" lag I often tend to lag when simply mounting. It takes lake half a- to one second for the mount to show up and I mount.

    oh good I'm not hallucinating the sound lag.... skill lag is appalling.

    I was rolling through Banished Cells for the pursuit last night and it was seriously stalling all over. Heavy attacks are still not happening a good chunk of the time.

    Yesterday and today keep getting booted, Xbox EU, pretty much at any hour of the day. Stays up for a bit and then kicks, making impossible to even queue for activities; finally entered a Battleground just to get booted mid-game.

    Prior to 2024 I was suffering from lagging and disconnections, but for the last 3 months or so I have had no problems at all.

    There have definitely been some changes behind the scenes from the feel of things. I haven't really seen anything in patch notes but it for sure "feels" better in some regards.

    So, is lag officially a feature now? Because I'm getting a lot of feature in Cyrodiil today.
