AT LEAST 500+ Ping now in PvP regardless of the time I log in...

MormondPayne_EP

ZOS,

What the hell is going on in PvP campaigns at the moment?

When I log in now, regardless of the time, even in OFF PEAK times, I am faced with 500+ ping at a bare minimum but it will constantly spike between 600 and 999+ the whole time.

What is going on?

Why is this happening?

You guys are steadily making things worse. For sanity's sake, fix this thing. I derive no joy from this game any more and am logging in less and less often.

We need an official comment on this because this has really gotten very bad!

Not that I'm defending how bad the lag is or anything, but the lag is better now than it was a few patches ago. How quick we are to forget that lag used to mean server crashes and rollbacks, /sitchair for 30 minutes straight watching zero abilities actually go off, and losing offensive keep takes because siege stopped working and the defending faction repaired all of the walls while the keep unflagged. Pretty much none of that happens anymore.

As for the OP, there are several official statements on the lag in Cyrodiil. They're just not in your thread coddling you and whispering to you at night that everything will be ok.

With all of that said... the lag sucks.

Actually, I was in Haderus for all of a half hour last night and the ping was consistently abysmal. Anytime something happened on the map, my ping went above 400 to 800 and stayed there for a solid ten minutes.

Maybe I'm forgetting what it was like prior to the previous incremental, but this is the worst it's been for me.

There's nothing in incremental patches affecting lag. You notice the changes in major updates which is what I'm referring to. What you're experiencing is a populated server.

My bad, you're right. Still sucks though.

Yeah If I live to see the day it gets fixed, that'll be a glorious day.

Agree that the lag sucks. But I'm not sure that the OP isn't having an issue on his end. While more populated times I see pings of 500-1000 (and spikes of higher), I regularly see 100 or so pings during off peak hours.

The "Official statements" are one liners, "We are investigating, No ETA".

2 weeks ago, I would log in to Ping of ~300 as a baseline, which is high but I'm in Australia so that's just standard. Now, every time I log in, regardless of when and most times because of the fact that I am in Australia it is off peak times, the ping is at a bare minimum of 500ms. Nothing has changed on my end, this occurs when the server population is minimal and this even occurs when I am in empty PvE zones levelling alts and the like.

I remember back a few patches and I don't feel it is better at all.

Last night for example, on Azura's, ping was steady at 600. Constantly spiking and when I would venture near any battles, the FPS would decrease and Ping increase until I would get dumped to the character login screen unable to log in for minutes at a time. I don't know how that is any better.

I'm not asking them to coddle me or anything, I'm asking them to fix this *** piece of ***.
Last night was terrible and unplayable and this is has been the status quo for the last 2-3 weeks.

Is that how bad our expectations of ZOS have become that we are okay with this garbage? This is a sad state of affairs if your attitude is "well, we can't do anything about it so let's just shut up and suffer through it."

I am not.

I better stop before I say something that will get me banned again.

Unplayable...

Waylander

Same issue in Australia mate.

Was fine 280ish ping up until last Monday. Since then unplayable in oceanic prime for me. IC is ok, cyro unstable. Also getting spikes that weren't previously happening.

Last Monday... was that the week that the server went down for maintenance and it was down for a long time, or was that the week before?

I am quickly losing hope and finding myself trying other games more and more.

sadly not, EU spellbreaker 12o`clock on a working day <1popbar per alliance IC and cyrodiil permanent 500-780ms latency...

Ahem, I believe we have a tested fix for this problem.

Dutchessx

While I don't know the exact ping and fps rates I have been getting off the top of my head. I do know they have been bad not only on Azura's but also on Haderus during prime time to where people start logging because it is unplayable for them to battle the lag. It may not be as bad as sometimes in the past on other servers but I would like to see it improve.

Rayste

Trueflame isn't really that laggy. Maybe that is due to the absence of certain groups. o.O
