ESO Too Laggy On Weekends

Ch4mpTW

So after having relatively good luck on finishing up VMSA I started a few days ago with a drop I was looking for this morning, I decided to hop on one of my lower level characters to play a bit. Do a couple of quests here and there, explore a bit, etc...

But to my surprise, lag is starting to creep out even deeper into PVE. I thought only Maelstrom Arena was the only laggy area in PVE, but boy was I wrong. I was lagging so hard while doing one particular quest, that it appeared my medium attack weaves with an inferno staff weren't even coming out. And at one point, my character just stood still — only to release tons of fireballs out of nowhere. Lmao.

Either ZOS needs to: Upgrade their servers yet again, fix the net code, or do some serious heavy-duty maintenance. Because this lag situation is starting to get atrocious.

Same here, it's driving me crazy, I had to give up tonight it was so bad. (I was in PVE)

Agreed. Lag in pvp is one thing... In PVE... Unacceptable

Congrats on msa though, still can't get past round 3 when I start phantom ice skating across the swamp lol

All the immature kids are off on the weekends, going around spamming their lag inducing abilities like jack-arses, then adult people are often off from work then too, turns into overpopulation issues every week. Dark Brotherhood needs to come out so we can...thin out the crowd a bit... >;3

Lol it's always laggy but on weekends it hits a lot harder. I did VMSA today and had a pretty good score on my stam DK but was cheated out of a perfect run thanks to teleporting titan on stage 5 (the last boss) and teleporting on that venomous plant stage/lastly last stage somehow died from environmental damage 0 lol... GG lag.

The lag in this game use to be PvP specific and a lot of the devs said "Oh it's issue with CP and player skills/passives interacting with others/calculations,etc. Now we have PvE where even in a solo instance such as VMSA it's laggy.. I hope they don't give me the same explanation stating it's a CP/passive issue on my character causing the lag when we all know what's causing the lag i.e. Patches,bot net, and AOE Caps.

The game has been unplayable since 16:00 GMT.
It is like this every weekend.

I'm currently playing Oblivion.
There is no lag
How I missed it

Agreed. There is lag always, and yes. It is definitely more noticible on weekends. OMG yes.

And lol, don't you know? VMSA decides whether or not you complete it without: Bs, deaths, lag, etc. It's all RNG. If the game doesn't want you to get past a certain point or achieve something, you won't. It's as simple as that. Case and point, the overpowered environmental damage.

I had a friend of mine once show me a video of him getting uppercutted through the ground, and into the game's Shadow Realm (glitch zone). Lol. He got uppercutted by one of those greatsword-wielding enemies on Stage 8, and went flying up and landed down through the ground, and into where all the textures are wonky. Had me laughing for a solid 5mins. straight.

Lol with me the titan smacked me and I walked then boom died with the titan doing x damage but me dying by a 0 damage environmental. I feel that lag in VMSA is not even a server issue anymore it literally just became a mechanic that spans across the entire game now.

Hm... I think I'm going to fire up some Skyrim. It's been a very long time since I've played it, and since ESO is being uncooperative — why not? Why not let it fly?

Great idea!
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Solo games don't require a stable internet connection to a server, hundreds/thousands of miles away

Hopefully, DB patch next week will bring some stability.
