PVP on Console Unplayable (bugs, lag)

Reverb

Do you guys have the lag-related siege issues on console? Either you can't drop siege no matter what you do, or you drop siege but can't use it, so you watch it slowly decay. In extreme lag, half the players siege will be unusable, but will still count towards the cap. So your faction will have 20/20 siege engines, and nobody can lay another one, but 10-12 can't be used. Good times, that.

#cyrolagproblems - not just for PC anymore.

Haven't had those issues. Only siege issue I've seen is when you buy broken siege equipment. You let that one die and pull out another one and it works

You gotta love wasting AP on a Stone Treb only to watch it fall apart as soon as you drop it. They need to reset the timer on those things to give you a little longer being off of it before it degrades. You seriously have to fire and then jump off to toss a repair on it and then back on it to fire again until you get them them repaired to full health. It's such a joke to repair it only to see if drop 10% 3 seconds after the repair....

These same bugs can be found on PC. I've also played on Xbox and experienced them, too. However, for me personally, I experience them roughly once a week or so (except for the door - that happens quite often). As you said, switching weapons usually helps open the doors but I've also found that opening your skills menu and then back out and try it again. The combat bug is absolutely awful and once I realize I have it I just try to kill myself and respawn if I'm not close to a battle. If I'm close, I just head to the battle and see what happens. Usually if you re-enter combat and kill the person it will go away. There are other bugs you'll find such as the crit rush animations bugs and being feared under the map. Don't worry, they're on PC as well. I do have to say on console, the lag is 1000x better on console. Maybe it's because not as many people are running around with Vigor and other high-stress graphical skills, but for now it's almost non-existent. Just my two cents on everything.

The one thing that I noticed more than anything on PS4 PvP vs PC PvP is the lack of quite a lot of skills simply not showing.

I honestly have asked myself "WTF did I just die to" on PS4 100x more than I ever had on PC.

This is quite recently though, since there are a lot more VR levels that have discovered animation cancelling/weaving and spamming AOE.

For instance,

I will kill a guy or two and then instagibbed and I'm like 0.o

Death recap is snipe -> lethal arrow -> fire balista -> radiant destruction.

You know what I saw on my screen? Nothing. Literally zero things. Just alive, then dead. It's super frustrating.

Not only do they not show, most of the time they don't "fire" at all. You press the skill and nothing happens to you(healing) or them(damage). The animations get caught up in the game lag and they never process. This is a daily occurrence for PVP on the PC version.

Currently some Cold Harbor siege is bugged without the red circle, animation or sound so it is the source of many of your WTF moments.

Sadly it is being "used" more now that this is known.

THEDKEXPERIENCE

I PVP on XBox daily and I've only gotten lag once. The "almost invisible spell" glitch does happen on occasion. With that said I've been in parties with people who are raging about lag so the ISP probably has a lot to do with it.

Nisto

leveled up from 20 to 45 all in cyrodil, no lag here or weird glitches switch to a better
ISP and higher speed.

I left this out of my original post. Very, very frustrating.

I haven't had enough lag on PS4 to make it totally unplayable, but if there are very large battles - either two large faction groups or all three smacking each other at once - on Azura's Star, I definitely have lag issues. Pushing for one of AD's scrolls proved to be a nightmare with so many people casting spells...
