Terrible LAG SPIKES in large PVP battles and server crashes

Kira_Night

Dear ZOS,

I really want to write you my cry of despair: PVP players are really concerned about that terrible LAG SPIKES which we all experience every day in Cyrodiil in a large battle (when about 50+ people around). During that time you can not control your character properly and you can not use your skills, swap your weapons, use your Ultimate and etc.

This month (August) is our last hope to stay in ESO further. We lost a lot of our ESO comrades when there were problems with FPS drops. Now we are loosing people from our guild because you can't play mass PVP game, because of the LAG SPIKES. They (our comrades) will not prolong their subscription further from this month. People loosing their faith to ZOS and ESO. They don't believe that ZOS is even doing something to fix that issues. And ZOS is keeping silence about that.

There are still about 15-20 people left from our big team who is still playing ESO from time to time. And we gonna play this game until the beginging of September for sure. But we will not prolong our further subscription if that terrible LAG SPIKES will remain.

Here is our main 2 questions:
1. Do you even see those issues with LAG SPIKES in PVP and are you going to fix it in nearest time??
2. If you up to date about the LAG SPIKES issues, when are you going to fix them? Can we still hope that till the end of August the situation will be significantly better??


P.S. Here is the example video of yesterday's (August 04) "lagging" (EP vs AD):

We will appreciate your answers.
Sincerely yours,

What lag?

That's unacceptable really. If their server can't handle it, then they need to change mechanics so that stacking is not so effective, like adding friendly fire etc. While stacking is the best way to rack kills, people will just do it and cause massive lags.

Fix the server lag or change game mechanics if you can't. Current state is unplayable.

Its obvious the hardware they have cannot handle the pvp in this game. It is never going to change. I mean..its been 4 months now lol.

No, it ain't. For 2 months I had no lag and no fps drops and then with patch 1.2.3 the fps drops came and after the so called fix of the fps drops with patch 1.2.6 the ability lags came, which I never before encountered, not even in massive keep sieges and also not if two bomb squads met each other.

Those problems began after 1.2.3, which came June, 26th, more than two onths after release.

Very much this.
Some action on the side of zeni would be more than welcome. Can you spell unplayable?

didnt resub after my free month at launch. been having a great time for last two weeks after coming back.
buuut whatya know games broken again i finally got my build just where i want it, doen well in pvp and bam jk too broken to even function. litterally out of now where now i cant stay in combat for more then 30 seconds without game lagging itself frozen.
if it stays like this for more then 2 weeks the amount of time ive been back for, then im just gonna have my account deleted and save myself fututre time money and ***

Not really seeing the lag there, more the mechanics of AoE caps allowing you to walk into the blob and take no damage. You want to see some of the lag I get, everyone stuck, then zipping around at the speed of light for a few secs, only to get stuck again. 6+ secs of skill lag, weapon swapping. That's unplayable. Sometimes I have to Alt+F4 just to get it working again.

If this isnt taking place only when there are Very large 3 way battles over a single keep then the problem may be on your end or with an add on. The game runs great in most cases and good in large fights. Its the spam aoe fest that is the huge battles where it has issues.

yup thats the only time its ever happend. its basic stuff. if theres too many people in one area....lower the population. boo hoo if you have to que, id rather play in guest and wait then not be able to DEFEND my own damn scrolls!
id be more understanding if it was just out in the open but pretty sure were supposed to be able to defend our scrolls arnt we?
but what ever im still gonna play theres plenty to do even if cyrodil ends up so broken its pointless.
and sure this is first time it happend in two weeks, but it also lasted for 2 hours, but guess thats my fault for trying to defend my factions scroll right xD
