PVP Lag - Fights unplayable

Malveria

As long as it's an issue, I'll keep making these threads.

We. Can't. Play. Just had a fight over BRK flags that was just two groups trying to our-lag one another.

When this game first released, the lag was fine, tolerable. Whatever they did with that first big patch broke it with the FPS issue.

Now we can't fight with triple locked pop and big fights. It's like fighting in a *** slideshow.

Stop distracting us with shiny PVE content. Fix your PVP servers. This is gonna kill your PVP game.

I was in the NW tower at Chalman about 15 mins ago, red vs blue vs yellow and i couldnt get my ultimate to fire at all, every attack was delayed 10+ seconds, i couldnt even heal or potion when i started taking damage.

Draxys

They've already driven away at least half the PvPers, they're trying to oust the rest of us. Lighting improvements= Cyrodiil slideshow. If they actually want to fix PvP, they should start by removing that. The management of this game is the worst of any business I've ever seen, not just for games.

I think the broken animation bug I experience actually eliminates all the lag. On chillrend my whole group switched back over to Haderus because the lag was so bad but my framerate hadn't changed at all yet my animations are broken.

I'll be interested to see how things are after 1.5 when they supposedly fix this bug.

Well, after beta testing and non stop playing since early access, I am pretty much done for now. Sub runs out soon, havent bothered playing much the past week, and wont renew my sub. Cyrodiil is a complete joke. I still get 10 fps, crashes every 20 minutes, and endless loading screens.

As a person that really wanted ESO to succeed, I've pretty much given up.

It's like they put all of issues from the past 7 months, and put them into one big patch, resulting into an unplayable Cyrodiil.

Logged in last night into thorn, started playing. Died very quickly last night, couldn't do a damn thing, so much lag.

Left Cyrodiil and did some questing. *yawn

I've got a Siphon Blade Tank that I'm working on as an alt.

Blame the impulse monkey spammers. They contribute to this.

I had a fight of about 20v20 yesterday evening, with no lag at all.

On the other hand a couple of days ago I was involved in a 70v80 siege which was pretty much a stop-motion experience.

So: If you don't want lag go don't go where the zerg goes.

pvp is not playable. before i enter a battle im way over 80 fps, when get in a 10v10 + its a slide show. half the time i die is due to fps slide show below 20. overclocking gpu/cpu and sli. low graphix or ultra nothing helps. its eso sht pvp server. if its not that its the cluster ball of players lagging the server out with net spikes.

TheBull

Take a few weeks break , then come back. It's shocking how bad the servers are 7 months in. Before my break I had gotten used to the lag and delay. Playing again tonight let me know it's not ok, it's a damn shame.

They did do something to fix this. They added a new campaign. What is the name of this mysterious campaign, you ask? Why it's called Azura's Star! Instead of complaining about it, why don't you go to Azura's Star where it's ripe for the picking.

PvP is broken beyond belief. So bad and seems like no hope for improvement. 1.5 on Monday is breaking oils which will make it even worse.

Honestly does anyone see any chance of PvP improving?

Tintinabula

Tonight defending Arrius was just dumb..I could shoot venom arrow but not snipe..I'd aim up in the air...and wait...and wait...and wait..and by the time it went off my target had moved on..my buffs were gone.. I'm really surprised we defended Arrius successfully to be honest.

Adding a campaign is not a fix for their servers not being able to handle their own freaking game.

If you like face rolling a skill over and over again, have at it. sorry it's causing lag. get over it. Monkey spammers unite! You only have your chromosomes to lose. Lol noticed you are from AD. Predictable. again, if you like to monkey spam, have at it. we will still deride that mindless play style.

Yeah 1.5. They are fixing oil. I'm sure the performance will still be god awful though...

It's not impulse, it's the 24 bad players all stacked around spamming impulse that's doing it.

As long as people persist in targeting and blaming a single ability - that everyone can use and is not actually the cause of the problem. People are too busy attacking one another rather than holding them accountable.

Yep
Pvp is unplayable in this game that's why i stopped it
Waiting for….. Xmas?

I play on Azura's star, and it can lag just as bad as Thornblade believe me. Funny thing is I can have horrible lag even when all factions are at low pop, and sometimes I have less lag when all factions are locked. Also sometimes my friends have no lag when I lag and vice versa.

The server doesn't need to be population locked that is the sad part. Many keep suggesting players should move to another server, which may solve the issue UNTIL everyone converges on a location to fight in a big battle and then it is all downhill. Although it might put a band aid on the population imbalances it will not solve this lag fest we all get when we try and recreate one of those epic battles Zeni showed us in all those pre-launch shiny promo videos of Alliance War.

Moreover Impulse Spamming has nothing to do with it, I am seeing piles of Blockades being laid down now as players try to find the secret to the one shot damage bug/exploit on this skill. So tired of the "impulse spamming monkeys" comments, particularly by one player on these forums. And for the record I don't use the skill, let alone much of anything in Destruction Staff. But to blame one skill as the cause to any woes in Cyrodiil, which is what you do, is just pathetic. It isn't just AD either my friend, take off your blinders - my death recap tells me plenty are using it including your own alliance. Last night I died to numerous EP zergs with swarms and impulse but I'm not going to obsess over it as it is not the cause of the issue at hand, it is Zeni's failure to deliver the epic battles it showed us in pre-launch videos.

Columba

Of course people from AD are tired of the impulse monkey spamming comments. their precious skellie group is notorious for spamming it. They've infested EP now. EP used to be fun to fight.

Yes, as I've said many times, DC does it too. I call out my own factions when I see them impulse monkey spamming. friends don't let friends impulse monkey spam. Be human instead.

Again, its not directly Impulse's fault..However it is being used by the people lagging the server..It isn't someone DoSing the server, its a bunch of baddies standing all in one spot spamming AoE's..This has been proven countless times to be the cause.

Nope. They are breaking it. Oil was one of the few things that would help a small group fend of a larger attacking force spamming AoEs.

Everyone that loves to nightcap and PvDoor is going to love the change to oils because it will be much harder to repel an attacking force now and for no good reason? Immersion? "Oil Farming" that only noobs die to?

If you die to oils consistently you are either not paying attention or forgot where you put your purge button.

whereevery you go, there will be lag upon us. Although i can not understand how that is supposed to be fun playing

Its tons of aps ... versus other methods.. thats why people are doing it... I would say make aoe interuptable imo.. or increased cost after so many casts... damage brought down by 40% ....or all aoe is dot damage no instant....maybe put an aoe castable desease in one of the lines with an 30 sec limmunity after used...gtaoe blow up of 10 meters with a an increase of duration based off how many targets you hit 1 target .5 secs... up to 3 secs with 6 targets affected...

I would put a cooldown on it to prevent monkey spamming. I would also reduce the output or impact.

Roebeck, first day of campaign, sealed the massive AD zerg inside, DC and AD running back and forth between the two flags for about 30 minutes. God Bless Lagblade.

omnii

this is my 27th complaint about the extreme lag in pvp. It's a digital cluster *** of losing our Ultimate, not being able to engage in 5vs5/30vs30 combat. this is hands down the worst and best pvp I've ever played. if these ppl cared at all about there pvp play they need to address this ASAP. 100s of ppl are leaving pvp daily because this nonsense. I just became one due to the massive amount of frustration ive put up with . It's just to annoying. is anyone lIsting?
