Will forever call this place Lagstrom Arena
I would offer suggestions to fix this broken place, but ZOS you already know what needs to be done.

    Not sure why your ping rate is so high.

    But I've seen stuff like this happen on PC with a ping rate of 90ms.

    I get the exact same thing on Xbox. Lag in this game has progressively become worse since IC but with huge spikes at TG and DB.

    Last week I suffered through the first 8 arenas with unnecessary deaths like your video but now with crematorial guards killing me when I am not in the fire on my screen, it is impossible.

    Take me back to last August where I had almost no lag in pvp. That was nice. I remember bragging about the lack of lag in pvp and the quick load screens. Can't do that now. Lag, loadscreens, crashes, slowfall on rocks, invisible npcs, voice chat super glitchey, broken gap closers, invisible keeps, 1990's Snes graphics, skills not working properly, jumpy guild lists, stat sheets changing without changing any gear or skills, crash loops in addition to just crashes, loadscreens in fights (pvp AND pve) to come back dead already, ESO+ randomly not working and the list goes on and on. This is just off the top of my head.

    It's really sad.

    how can you possibly lag like that when no other players are around? you need to check your specs or your connection pal.

    The game cant pick and choose who it lags for. Either it lags for everyone or nobody and of course in this case its a few people so you guys need to check your connections out.

    The lag that occurs is due to spikes in round trip response time for game data while ping reply time remains the same. That's not a customer problem.
    End the tedious inventory management game.

    Yes, it's all about how client send/recieve data from server. I have 100-150 ping and died alot from same thing. But I highly recommend you deal more damage, cause this allows you to avoid some mechanics like first daedrot at last boss.

    Oh my god. Preach fellow traveller.

    That video is only a taste of the things I go through in Lagstrom Arena. The Xbox just can't handle the game anymore. It also sucks living on the other side of the globe to the server.

    I wish they would make it a REAL solo experience. Everything done locally, just for Lagstrom... and damn ZOS, drop the background if you have too, I want at least 20fps consistently, can you give me that?

    I feel liking digging through my Xbox recordings and showing some of my misfortunes with lag. but that’s a slow and painful process.
    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...

    Probably because there aren't many other places that are as punishing as vMA, with this much incoming damage.

    FWIW, I've almost never had the lags like what I see in that video. It does happen, but very, very rarely. Like just once every few runs.

    starting to think if the BS dmg circles is gonna be unavoidable, it needs to be toned down

    I've cleared VMA a bunch of times. Yet last night I struggled on the final boss of round 9 because all three of the circles kept being lit up for me to kill the clanfear on and none of them would allow me to go up top to start stage two. Seriously took 6 attempts because of this. How am I supposed to get a good score when I can't complete the damn place because the game itself has a glitch that doesn't allow you to use the proper mechanics to get up top?

    Wtf.

    Maybe you don't understand my post lol I'm on Xbox first off. My connection is fine it's not lag. The three pads are all lit. Like all three look lit up. Not just one. So you can't tell which one to take the clanfear to. I don't have any lag issues in VMA. I have game mechanic bug issues. Which all three pads being lit up isn't a L2P issue. P.S. I've cleared VMA well over a dozen times and have several VMA weapons. I think I know all the mechanics by now lol still managed a 360k score even with those 6 wipes.
