FPS Lag Replaced by Skill Lag

It appears that we solve one problem and get a new one. Tonight on Wabbajack the skill lag was so bad that no one could do anything. Check it out on my stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/dustydemonninja/b/546138840

Specifically from the 22:00 marker on the lag is so bad that my streaks send me in the wrong direction and while I spam skills nothing happens... :(@ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌

    I noticed ambush started bugging out last night in cyro. Playing the animation but not moving you. It got worse the longer I played and I had to close the client and relaunch to get it working again.

    I confirm it does happen in PvE too. I've had skill lag pretty much since I started playing, instant skills seem to be more prone to it. Some zones are worse than others for me: Bangkorai, Havenspire, Prasin, Grahtwood, ColdHarbor, Cyrodiil tend to get very bad at times (under lvl 50 or VR zone makes no difference) - Bangkorai was the worst.

    I get FPS lags too, mostly in cities around forges and banks where there are many players around. Skill lags have gotten worse recently though, in some places it lags like 2 or 3 secs after I hit the key. At other times in PvE, the NPC will drop dead but I cannot loot nor teleport for 10 or 15 secs, getting the msg "you cannot do this while in combat".

    Still lags. Weapon swap is better but sometimes still completely ignores a button press. Seems worse on PvP zergs, almost as if the client is having to track too much stuff going on and never sends the message to the server. I can hit Ambush and the animation will got off and then mabye 2 seconds later I will teleport to the location or not move at all.

    Not so much for me now. Only really a problem in large PvP zergs. Its not even too bad in cyro if you are just scouting and having the odd 1 on 1

    I was getting really bad lag on Ravinspiral last night. Things would freeze up or NPCs would stop moving and then I'd get the unknown error message.

    Ya. PVE is pretty much borked. Was doing a dungeon run and our tank's (Sorcerer) skill bar locked up all greyed out twice during the run. My skills (and everyone else's) were just not firing or displaying properly. Not much fun, actually.

    Not sure what the problem is but I am encountering no lag whatsoever in pve/pvp. A healthy 30fps because my computer is crappy like that, 200mbs/100mbps connection, and I'm at the other end of the world, Singapore. So you guys every thought its got something to do with your internetz instead? Im a nb and all the problem stated above with my skills is non existential

    We didn't start to play the game yesterday, if just today we notice a lag and before we haven't had any, it's the game's fault, I suppose.
    And I heard there are some login issues too, so it's more probably there may be a server problem.

    This is not a FPS issue, it is a server side lag problem and a client/server sync problem. You may not be seeing much of an issue because your connection is already lagged a bit, giving the server extra time to 'catch up', so to speak.

    I get the skill lag and greyed out skill bar much too often as well. Along with skill animations not displaying at all or with significant lag. Additionally my sorc seemingly randomly will self cancel casting. Target mob, arms go half way up, aand action cancelled. Fortunately the self cancelling hasn't happened in combat yet only when first targeting a mob. Then I have to send the stupid pets after it before I can actually attack after which the pets no longer respond.... ><

    Is indeed some sort of weird skill not firing going on since yesterday. Afew times skill totally stopped working until I moved it back over from skill window onto hotbar. When I was replacing the skill the Hotbar Icon that was replaced was showing as a Whitebox with a ? inside. Its as if the skill corrupted it happened about 3 or 4 times in 1hr while grinding a lvl.
