Maelstrom LAG

Audioraincloud

I love running maelstrom now that i can complete it relatively fast however the lag is ruining what could be the best content in the game. I'm on Xbox One and it's just miserable at points. Daedroths that teleport are absolutely terrifying. i no longer trust that i can get through arenas 6-8 without getting sent to my dashboard at least once.

Yup I know the pain and it isn't fun. The best thing is we're getting patch maintenance tomorrow so cheers for that!

from round 6 on, my fps begins to drop. reaching round 9, it will be unplayable -if i dont restart the game. like, the arena causes some kind of memory leak.
has been like this since its release.
this is on pc.

so i logged off at the last arena before writing this and when i logged back in I had suddenly lost the quest, and had to start over.

for the majority of this run i've been medium weaving fire attacks with dual swords still equipped, this causes so much lag in my attack weaving it's almost unplayable, i certainly think this would be something that gets caught when testing, but that's just me. BUT the list doesn't end there. i've now enjoyed 5 lag deaths where all of the sudden i'm just walking aaround with no resources and health, in addition to a glorious death getting smashed by the final boss on the arena well after moving out of her extremely large attack radius... This is why people hate maelstrom...

while i'm here i might as well tack on some other points.

How is it that every time i'm going for an execute i have to have my crosshairs (xbox one) aimed at the sky above the boss as it seems like every single add is just standing inside of hist hit box? From my multiple deaths on round 6 not being able to walk through enemies shouldn't the same thing be applied to them?

Also specifically regarding the final boss of arena 5, how do i still get hit if i'm nowhere near her club? she can be in the center of the platform and i'll still get mollywhopped standing on the very edge... maybe this is latency?

AND NO, it is not my internet, it is ONLY being used for this game right now and i can assure you it's more than capable of handling ESO.

I have this issue in Vet Dungeons. On consoles we already start off with minimal FPS and performance (no 60-120 FPS w/ Ultra setting here) so the game practically commits suicide when this happens.

One word. Block. She won't swipe for no reason so block, her arms and club are about the radius of those platforms as well. Block any of the big hits and you'll be fine, just circle, weave and block that's all those 1st 2 platforms require.

lol i am blocking, that's why i'm complaining. full stam, block is up and i get wombo comboed by the boss and uppercut

The lag on PS4 is abominable, even got disconnected a few times. How in the hell does ZOS suspect any players on PS4 to get Maelstrom weapons?

I put up a 510K Sorcerer vMA Score in hopes of getting on the Leaderboard 5min before it closed last week.

I also crashed 4 times.

Posted that score 2min after the Leaderboard closed. Looted a Charged Maul as well.

gg ZOS. gg.......
