Lag is the biggest problem with this game.

xaraan

@ZOS_BrianWheeler I seriously doubt your test of bots is enough to fix the problem. And if it doesn't this game will die fast. There are more and more players every day leaving because of it. How long are you going to let it be a problem??

Will they have to zerg IC and let all your players that die due to lag and not fair fights continue to complain and leave the game?

We've been watching another faction flip the map for no other reason than lag right now. An inferior force that has gotten wiped easily several times just stacks on flags and flips them b/c of numbers. (Why do you allow flags to flip in lag at all?) Not only that but while the fight was going on, they had another group flip another keep b/c no one was there to defend, they were in the lag fight.

I mean when players set up build to fight in lag (because we all know what won't work and what can be exploited - looking at you dawnbreakers) and we all lose seige that suddenly doesn't work.

I would blame the players (although they know what they are doing) it's on your shoulders ZoS.

Fix the lag, fix the zerging. It's going to put the final nail in the coffin of this game. Console won't hold you forever with this performance.

Yes, I know this is beating a dead horse for most of us in pvp.

xaraan

So, another gaming session pretty much ruined by the game not working.

Losing keeps because of lag, one side just stacks up and stands on flags and even if they are terrible players they win. Seige doesn't work, skill doesn't matter.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler please come play the game with us and observe because there is no way you have experienced what your game is actually like on our end.

Instructions unclear. I've tried this once to try and get rid of the lag but my cat died and I broke my arm in the process.

It's really just a shame. So much work put into Imperial City that will be pretty much wasted if the lag doesn't improve. I am cautiously hoping those line of sight fixes give, at least, a noticeable improvement.

Can I try to reset the router at ZoS?

Yeah, that's what worries me. Players losing a keep/battle to lag that they just have to take back later is just frustrating. But once players start losing thousands of TVStones because of zerging and lag, there will be a lot of unhappy players.

Probably the most relevant/important thread in this forum at the moment.

I hope you guys get this right in 1.7 ... A LOT of player are riding on the fact that if you dont fix lag for Imp City... they will leave the game for good.

I for one am going to delete this game from my hard drive if there is no fix for this horrendous lag right now, boggles my mind that a game can be released and go on with lag like this for a year.


I can bet my sweet dollar that everyone else will quit if lag is the same for Imp City...

Good luck guys... all this rides on the 1.7 update.

I really miss playing the game, but the days I miss are patch 1.5 days!

I want to login, then I read a post like this and I realize I'll just waste my time and get frustrated

Update 1.7 will make or break this game for me.

I have played through lag a lot in this game like many has, but I even find myself logging off early these days after the lag beast settles in, just not fun, and what ever is causing it, be it bunched up players spamming what ever aoe or just poor hardware not being able to handle the load of a lot of player in a small area, I hope they come up with a fix.

Text chat and no indication of how much xp you get from doing something and no way of seeing how much damage you are doing is the worst problem with this game on console

BigTone

I feel like I say this everyday, but last night was one of the worst nights of lag I've ever seen. A large AD group kept coming to the mile gate which would have made for a good fight/AP for both sides, but abilities stop working, damage stopped registering, and we couldn't place siege. It wasn't even one of those "everyone in the faction stack the flags fight", it was more like 24v24, two groups against each other the way it should be. Most of the times I log off of PvP is due to lag. I woke up much earlier on my days off than usual so I could PvP during off peak hours and get some lag free play time in.

Yeah, as frustrating as the stack of flags bs can be, missing out on what could be a great (and fun) fight is probably the worst thing about it.

The problem is it is getting worse not better since i have been playing on PS4 N/A last month.

Getting kicked to a blue screen didn't use to happen every session, now it does. Especially on sieges - just when it is most important to be there...

Terrible....

I think console will continue to see the problem worsen if they don't correct it, as more players advance, group up and run more tightly, use a bigger variety of skills and seige, etc. That's how it was on PC. Maybe IC will spread players out for a time, but as soon as they clump up in IC or out, it will return if they don't fix it.

Zhoyzu

1.7? when is this? is this in september with the IC or sooner. IDK for whatever reason it got in my mind IC in Sept is going to be 2.somthing

xaraan

It's end of August for PC, and week or two later in Sept for console.

The lag was pretty bad after yesterday's patch

Eletheia

This has only been a recent issue for me, but now I lag out most times when, as a large group, we start to push into the keep to take it. What is really annoying is the fact that I am dead when I get back in, because it seems to take an 'unusually long load time screen' to get back in. So someone is getting free AP for killing me when I am unable to defend myself. I, too, am not the strongest pvp player, but I fight right up until I go down, and I really object to this. To top it all off, if your campaign is full, what normally happens is that you have to queue back up to get in. And it IS getting worse. I am currently at sixusually long load screens' to get back and it looks like I will have to reset the game entirely. This really needs to be fixed. I want to know what Zenimax intendsto do to appease the players,. One of our guild members cannot play weekends at all, he has stated that the minute he walks out of a keep he will lag out. Prioritizing a fix to this issue might help.

Galalin

This game has been getting worse in performance since launch with every patch.... it won't change or it would have.... i highly doubt they will redo the engine and code ever so sit back relax and play this free pile of junk untill CU comes out.

months later, the same can be said of every patch that followed.

i hadn't played bwb for several months, until today.

the lag isn't merely an annoyance, anymore; it's epic.

SemiD4rkness

I don't think they can afford 2 megaservers .... lag is unbearable whenever yheres more than 10 people fighting. Game will die soon.

Forget pvp I lag in pve now, play another game no lag whatsoever.

I suppose you could look at the bright side and say that technical problems being the main problems with the game isn't as bad as if ESO was a technically well executed, robust, and stable game but the biggest problems were gameplay itself. At least the game itself is fun, technical problems aside.

I cracked a joke earlier that if this game were a romantic relationship, it would be an emotionally abusive relationship because there is something I can't stay away from, but it's hurting me to try and get to it. You can crash in PvP, have trouble logging back in, then waiting several minutes for a load screen, and then, you don't even get back into Cyrodiil -- you get stuck in Wrothgar, you can't rez and the queue to get back in to Azura's Star is 30 deep.

That actually happened to one of my friends today. Trufax.
