PS4 PvP Lag worse than PC ?

skillastat

I played since day 1 on PC and wanted to give it a try on my new PS4 with friends since the game was on sale.

Now I went to the most populated campaign to see by myself that the lag is probably worse on console.

Because you don't even see the attacks going off you, in my opinion this is worse.

For exemple, I get cursed (sorcerer skill) and I just don't see it until it explode. I know it's a curse because of the sound it makes. Also there was a moment when a DK would spam Lava Whip on me and I did not see the animation of it. Even fireballs shooted from destro staff appears like a small, transparent and fade red light.

What do you think about this ?

Maybe the votes did not account for PvP ?

I think the more accurate would be "PVE MMO of the year"

It's not lag, I'm pretty sure it's just the console way of keeping the frames where they would normally be without having to reload the UI. I get this from people saying to only starts to happen after a certain amount of time, similar to that LUA error you get on PC before everything gets jumpy and frames start skipping.

I have played both and overall while lag can be bad at times my experience has been better on the PS4.
All platforms still have a long way to go though.

Lag only occurs on azuras star ps4, since all the other camps are half as full as azura their is zero lag whatsoever.
The main issue with lag is zerging especially from the Cherrys, they are the root cause of lag 50~100 Cherrys grouped into a tiny ball destroys the server, they should be ashamed

It's actually the smurfs that zerg ball more often.

Ive PVPed in last few days and I think lag is getting better, even though its not acceptable.

ALL factions zerg end of story. And at the end of the day it punishes everyone with poor Cyrodill performance. The worse the lag gets the bigger the group gets as it's impossible to kill anything under those conditions alone. Weapon swaps don't happen, ultimates fire but nothing happens, invisible meteors, the list goes on.

When its busy Azura's is unplayable on PS4, there's a second or two delay on every button press and enemy animations don't fire properly meaning you don't see anything then suddenly take damage from 5 or 6 attacks, Chillrend is fine tho.

I was in BWB the other day and I was involved in some large battles. I play on PS4 NA, as my sig states. Most I got was frame rate lag and maybe some delay, that's about it. Even though Zenimax has confirmed lag issues are on their end that doesn't mean it's all on them. My internet connection, while slow, is pretty solid and in this game I have almost no lag issues whatsoever. Your internet connections are not necessarily the same as mine and for those that are you may not be on my platform and so on.

Funny thing though... whatever type of lag I did get didn't really bother be because it is to be expected with so many people around lol and has been so in every MMO I've ever played so if anything I'm used to it. Did bother me some when I experienced attack delays in 1 on 1 conflicts though, but whuddyagunnado...

I play Azura's on PS4 Na and I swear it's getting worse and worse. Where before I only got bad lag if I got around a Zerg now I'm getting it nearly all the time when out in Cyrodiil. I was on yesterday and got into a one on one fight with a blue out near a resource of a keep that wasn't under siege and every button I hit had a 1-2 second delay before it triggered an action. I killed him then three more blues showed up and they had a really hard time killing me because the lag got worse and only like one of our button presses actually did anything. I just kept backing up trying to use puncturing sweeps but it would start and then the spear would stick in my hand and no other input would get through for a few seconds. Must have been about the same for the three of them since it took them over a minute to get me down and I'm not a tanky build at all.

There is one if you have it. It's the cog icon that appears when you point to your post to the left of the post number.

For thread starters it appears next to the thread title.

Just blame the DC if your lagging in Azures
