Vengeance Causing Huge Lag

SaintJohnHM · December 10

Is the Vengeance Campaign the cause of the huge lag spikes that have been ruining our trial progression sessions?

It's a common complaint across many guilds. Groups are getting lag spikes simultaneously and many DCs.

There were other threads about this a few days ago, some people noted the service provider struggling (and thus might be a ddos). It could be a ddos during vengence to make it seem that vengence lags the servers… it could also just be unrelated.

I too have noticed a big increase in lag spikes over the past week. It's ruined at least two trifecta attempts.

I’m not sure how that’d be when vengeance is dead, on PCNA anyway

It's still server resources that have been split between the two camps.

Vengeance PVE incoming ahahah
the only way to reduce lags in trials, you know that zos will do it

I think the problem is with a spike in attacks against IT infrastructure happening at the moment, as well as problems certain service providers do have with there systems, which are essential for the internet.

Not only in ESO, but also in STO and SWToR I had connection problems within the last 7 to 10 days.

And I'm not trying to pit PVP vs PVE folks, I'm rooting for Vengeance success. It may just be coincidence that multiple days of aggressive group-wide lag spikes lined up with the Vengeance campaign, but it might be worth at least looking in to.

As opposed to the regular Four??

Grayhost, Blackreach, Ravenwatch, and Icereach.

Was going to comment this exact thing.

If the lag being experienced in PvE currently was due to having 2 PvP servers up and running at the same time, then the lag should be better, not worse, than usual, because usually there's 4 PvP servers running simultaneously, not just 2.

I'm not tech savvy, but maybe it's the routers or some other piece of infrastructure that is overloaded from extra people trying Vengeance even if it's on fewer servers? I don't know, I hope they resolve it though, having tough progressions ruined to lag is not fun.

i cannot even pick up a chest now the lag is so bad now on eu. it digs up ground about 10 times before it stops now

SaintJohnHM · December 12

Both of our trial progs yesterday were ruined to lag spikes and DCs of multiple members, one of the runs was canceled part way through.

It's been happening every night.

Yeah, I don't know what it is, but Vengeance was extremely laggy last night on Xbox NA. Barely anyone on, and yet, my group of 6-8 would all lag at the same time. We were convinced the emp buff caused the lag or that the emp was lagswitching until the issues persisted when we were not fighting the emp. Definitely something to do with their servers.

SaintJohnHM · December 12

We tried to run with someone in our guild to get their BGF trifecta a couple of times today but the lag spikes kept wasting our time.

I had a bad lag spike in Veng before yesterday. This was the first time ever I’ve experienced lag in Vengeance. Would that be because the laggy GH is enabled at the same time, I wonder?
