Fix your servers v1000000

miguelcura · July 2023

The servers each time and worse. The truth wait a few years to reach 1600 cp in the hope that they do something. It is an MMO to play in a group, it is ONLINE and It is impossible to do rehearsals or anything in a group. Just watch the steamcharts graphics as players drop. Putting together a test is very difficult, there are fewer and fewer people in the endgame. Most play only skyrim type and one of the reasons is this.
I play wow from Argentina and I have a stable 160ms, and here in ESO I am at 250 with peaks of 400 (both servers in the USA).
The truth is I'm playing until the plus expires and I uninstall it. It's incredible how they don't see that no matter how many expansions they release, if ZoS don't fix the servers, people aren't going to continue putting a penny.

I'm from the United States and I still get some lag on the PC/NA server.

My average ping in all other online games are 25ms. Only in ESO it averages around 85 to 110ms. It's still playable.

Out of curiosity; may I ask, why are you playing on the North America servers for online games when you're from South America? Those games have their own South and Latin America based servers.

That may explain why the games for you have a higher ping and more lag.

Thanks for comment. I play in NA because although Blizzard has 3 servers for Latins players (ragnaros, quelthalas and drakkari) they host the servers in NA, but the quality of their services is excellent (I can't say the same about ESO xd)
With 160/180ms I have 15 years of playing raids, mythical dungeons there is never a problem, in my years of gaming except for some DDoS attacks, I never have heard someone complain about lag problems from SA...

I guess technically there are 2 issues, 1 is latency and its variation (stability) and the other is server response and processing time. I don't know what the problem is with ZoS but Blizzard has no problem and it can be played from the southernmost place satisfactorily.

We both agree on that ESO needs to get better quality and more efficient servers.👍

With better servers, that will enable the game to get more players online that are actively playing, and then the game makes more money. No one likes it when a game has disconnection and lag based issues.

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.
