Just Another Day In Lagyrodiil

Molag_Crow

A lot of people seem to think you're exaggerating whenever you tell them about the lag and unplayable PvP, so I recorded this last night.

I went offline after this, there's not much point. It's been like this for a straight week on PS4 now, and it's effecting us all. (Azura's Star, EU, not like that makes much of a difference) Even my friend in the video messaged me saying how laggy it is after he died. so let's hope that this current maintenance will make things smoother. (doubt it)

And before anybody wonders if it's to do with our ISP's and stuff...

This is the usual for me.

Hello fellow scouser.

This has been going on since they fixed loading screens. Hard to do a no-death vma now since my screen will freeze in there for about 3-5 seconds randomly through out it. Managed to live last time i went in there, but literally with 5% hp.

Cyrodill is even worse now, pretty much any instance including cyrodill is being affected from my gameplay experience.

LAG? That's no lag, you were still able to do abilities occasionally. :')

Hahah.. yeh thats exactly my screen all day long. I'd bet it is mostly caused by ability hit detections. All those checks on who gets hit by what and within what radius. I'd also bet animation canceling doesn't help. There was a time when hardly anyone animation cancelled. Now its rampant.

They should rename Toppling Charge to Pole Jump Charge.

same experience on xbox in 2 different campaigns logged off for the night also after running around for an hour and didnt get anything accomplished.

I honestly don't think its possible for any game maker to have lag free PvP "online", too many variables, Other players system, other players Internet speed etc, maybe someday once all ISP speeds become equal. until then just get use to it or PvE. Shrug... It sucks though since they advertise "PvP 'when you go to buy the game but many cant "PvP" for this reason or that reason.

Hate to think of the ap ticka I lost when I kept getting kicked.

Really? I'm not going to even bother attempting VMA any time soon then.

The Lighting update ruined performance in this game and it appears some of that carried over to console.

Prior to that update this game ran flawlessly for me...im talking 50-70+ players on the screen at the same time spamming Impulse and AOE and everything else and the lag was near non-exist

Here are some videos from the Wabbajack days, and there were far more PVP players at that time then there is now. proof it used to work...Fixate and Nicole are in those vids as well.

ZOS put some kind of anti-bot code or something server side, and in doing so killed the game. What good is getting rid of bots when you have essentially made your game unplayable...its akin to to cutting of your entire midsection from thje waist down just because you have a small patch of skin cancer on your leg...it makes no sense.

im just glad i can look back on those days fondly when PVP was huge battles that were not a lag filled mess...i long for those days ....those that never got to play on Wabbajack, Bloodthorn, Dawnbreaker...folks relaly missed out on the best PVP times this game ever had...

Catblade

Yeah the lag is real. Press a button 19 times before the skill works

Yesterday evening was very bad and much lag. Lots of Loading Screens. Now playing with Add-Ons off, but even that's not better.

Wow... that really explains it to be honest, and I'm surprised that they haven't reverted some of these obvious lag-causing changes and such. There must be another way to deal with issues without breaking the performance!

If they get rid of the anti-bot code it should allow azura's star to be lag free

It's not only that. CP System introduced a *** of new calculations and passives.

The maintenance did nothing, the lag's back and if I'm being honest, It'll probably never ever go away.

Actually it is possible and was barely laggy at the beginning of ESO.
All of us that played during the beginning
(april-oct 2014) of ESO fell in love with the massive PVP fights that were everywhere in Cyrodiil. We had forward camps and 30min keep fights with 30k+ ticks and small groups had a chance to destroy a full raid.
Was there lag? HELL NO.
Those of us who are still playing after all the shenanigans from zos still play in hopes of that experience coming back to eso.

Go ahead and ask everyone why Cyrodiil is in the laggy mess it is in. They will tell you its because of (estimates)
1. Aoe caps (april 2015)
2. Lighting patch (Oct-nov 2014)
3. Anti bot patch (may-july 2014)

@RinaldoGandolphi Was that back from P2P, can't remember. If it is well then we've found the reason why cyrodiil lag is occurring and it has a whole lot to do with $$$$.

That's... a good point...

The difference is that the game worked better during beta than it does now. At least Cyrodiil.

This is what really makes me feel.... disheartened. I'm currently in Cyrodiil, lagging even worse than what's in the video footage on the OP.. I've resorted to siege weapons

Must be your hardware. Oh wait, you are on console.

You mean to tell me that this game lags even when everyone playing is running identical hardware??????


ZOS, your done. Go home. Your game cannot provide what it claims to provide and all your excuses have run out.

If this game lags on consoles there is no fixing it. But I still have people telling me that lag comes from a lack of memory or a weak graphics card.
