State of the Lag in PVP - How is it going now ?

Sotha_Sil · January 2015

I played this week end a lot on Thornblade (EU) and I was impressed to have 40+fps all the time (prime time will fully locked factions and off peek). Maybe it was because there weren't many guilds organized raids this week end (24+) at the same place ?

Do you guys still experience lag issues frequently nowadays ?

it happens less but pop is lowered a lot if the battles get serious (for scrolls or keeps etc.. the lag is real again.

I haven't had any since the deer were nuked, though I've heard people complaining in big fights, so could be some issues on some machines (not nec server lag). Or I just was getting lucky.

PVP has spread much more between the 5 campaigns now too which seems to help.

You are asking about lag but giving your fps as an example, which one are you asking about?

I have experienced less lag since the deer removal, except for yesterday in Haderus for a while. Wasn't the worst lag we ever had but still induced 5-10 second delay on skills.

As for fps, my fps drops from 60+ to 10-20 in large fights. In medium/small fights it goes down to 25-40.
I have sent a ticket to support a while ago about my fps issues and they said my pc was better than the recommended specs and that they were "investigating the issue". The most frustrating is that when my fps go low, i check my cpu and gpu, and both are far from 100% usage, and outside of battles, i get solid 80 fps on ultra settings.

I used to have a problem with FPS running the game with ultra graphics.
I would get 70-80 fps in normal situations and it would go down to 15-25 fps during intense fights.

I dropped my graphic settings down to medium and now I run the game with 99 stable fps in normal situations and it goes down to 30-40 dps during intense fights.

I use an i7 4770k with a gtx 670 and 16gbs dual channel.

As for the latency, it depends how close you are to the Zenimax servers. I have heard some people who get 30 ms but I personally roll between 100 and 150 ms depending of the day and the activity in Cyrodiil.

During intense fights, it can bounce up to 9k (the highest I have seen).

My ISP gives me 36mbps down and 14mbps up with a ping of 4ms on speedtest.net

I have over 130 days of /played and this is an average as a refference for @ZOS staff who would be interested by the statistics given.

I face the saaaame exact thing. Sometimes I just like to hop around fields and find tiny fights because I get annoyed with the 10 fps in larger ones. Unfortunate because I love to get in the middle of large groups and make them focus me as my teammates pick them off ):
