Latency and Disconnect issues

I love ESO PvP, it is the only reason I played as long as I did and it is the main reason I have come back to the game and it is also the reason I left. To be more specific the connection issues are why I left, they were awful, 6 months in and I had a weekend were myself and half the PvP guild I was in literally spent more time disconnecting and trying to reconnect than playing the actual game. It was insane, the biggest appeal to ESO PvP for me is the giant battles and sieges players can have but as soon there was any semblance of large groups the megaserver pooped its pants and the game was unplayable.

Anywho, since the game is now F2P and it has been out for a year I figured I would come back, see whats new and try enjoy some of the PvP I so very much missed. 2 days now and no dramas, no crashes, no lag, nothing ... ... until I entered Cyrodiil. It isn't even peak hours, the server populations are all low but the first siege I rock up to BAM, nothing but lag and disconnects. This is so freakin infuriating I love the PvP in this game, hell I was one of the first ever emperors but as soon as there is more than 30 players in one spot the game is just unplayable.

Is it just Australia's crappy internet? Is it an issue that effects those outside the US? Does it still effect those in the US? Has this issue just not been addressed at all since I stopped playing? Can anyone tell me WTF is going on?

    It affects US players as well. It is "fun" when you also do not know if you are loading into the game or just to a log-in screen xD

    I've been playing this game since launch and this is the worst it has ever been for me. I spent 7 hrs pvping today with 999+ ping. Everyone rubber banding across the screen. Enemies appear on the horizon and I'm about to engage, then everything on the screen freezes. Every. single. time. I didn't get within 40m of an enemy today without crashing. It's been like this for me all week. Tried repairs and everything.

    Agreed, today was some of the worst performance I've seen since the fps bug. Hit a new personal record of 10k ping lawl

    Is it some type of masochism?

    I'm not one to give up easily, I'm as persistent as they come. I don't think I'll be logging in again any time soon after today's performance though. It's literally unplayable for me.

    The thing that annoys me most is that I have been hearing and experiencing stories like these since freakin Beta, clearly Cyrodiil has some pretty big tech issues and it just feels that being 1 year in and still having the same problems, it isn't getting the attention or public acknowledgment from the Devs that it should be. What I want to know is whether or not this is due to running all the PvP on the megasever, if dropping each campaign onto their own servers with population caps would fix this issue than I would love to see it done.

    Its Ironic that they have a welcome back weekend for beta players next weekend . They will think they're still in beta when they login.
    This need more attention than anything at the moment as the "performance issues" as you call them are affecting PvP and PvE. Just a heads up ZoS PvP doesn't work at all with lag and if it doesn't work then people won't bother playing.
