The important thing first. Lag. When?

All the changes they make are great. There has been an increase in the number of players, on the steam charts, and you see in the game that there are more people playing overall. I think we can all agree that change will never please everyone. But what I think we can all agree on is that they need to improve the stability of the servers.

It is a common postcard to see disconnections in trials, constant lag or irregular ping. No one claims support anymore because they tell you to "verify your connection" which in any other online mmo works perfectly. @ZOS_GinaBruno

Before I start a trial or even pull (as tank) I'm spamming the Balance skill to see server responsiveness. If it's in any way delayed from what I expect I let my trial know... I've done this enough to know when the servers are going to crash or if we should reset the instance.

I cannot trust the in-game latency indicator and this has everything to do with server stability and performance.

I understand you... we have all "normalized" the situation... the truth is that it is embarrassing that the quality of the servers does not improve...

Why I like the companion system so much. When everything else stops moving there is nothing I can do, but at least my pets and followers are still doing their thing. When it all finally catches up and I get the 999+ latency, everything else is either dead or is occupied with the companion. They aren't about making trivial content more so, they are there to keep attention away from me when the server decides to freeze me out. I can either spam buttons and force the server to disconnect me for "sending too many messages" when it syncs back up or wait it out.

Because of continued connection issues in Southeast Asia that only started after the patch on the 24th of Jan, I ran a whole bunch of tracert logs using different VPN locations. The one thing I saw in common was that, if the connection went through one specific IP address in the US that is owned by Lumen Technologies (according to Google) there was always a timeout between that IP address and the ESO server, which is the final hop in the tracert path. I reported this to customer service and they told me to talk to my local ISP. Now, I’m no expert, but I’m curious what my local ISP can do about a connection between a US based server and the ESO server. But I guess I’ll give it a go?

As there are multiple threads discussing latency, we have decided to close this thread. Our help article linked below offers different troubleshooting you can try for latency issues while playing ESO.
