The lag in cyrodiil has been awful the past few days, even in the empty campaigns. I'm talking like the worst it's been since I started playing on console launch. Yes my internet is fast. Yes it's not just me, my pvp guild of 500 members can agree. What's up? Did all the $$ go to making ESO sims? Servers need love too you know...

    I can confirm lag in ESO EU PS4 is horrendous! All over Christmas 2016 and ongoing.
    My broadband connection is average 40MB down, 9MB up, 9ms - packet loss '0'

    It's not just Cyrodiil that is unplayable, even exploring and fighting across all of Tamriel has momentary delays causing sync problems regarding player action vs animation delay.
    In Cyrodiil launching ballistas the whole session eventually locks up and some animations do not even draw. It progressively gets worse in a battle until most of game freezes all sound disappears then a black screen and back to the beige coloured sign in menu.
    Also there are now huge groups of all three dominions in battle as at Jan 2017.
    I was in battle a few days ago and I would say around 100 players of each dominion in action, maybe more. The whole session crashed for me. The server simply could not keep up, so much going on with all the mage graphics, explosions etc.
    ZOS need to limit the amount of players with multiple instances available to choose from.
    This needs addressing, start spending some decent money on more servers!

    Confirmed.

    I am totally fed up with this. It has just got worse as the years have gone by with ESO PVP is a state. Because of this I have left ESO and gone onto games I can actually trust, and enjoy. I will come back, if the servers are improved. So much money has gone into this game and this is what we get. Unacceptable.

    What are you currently playing? I'm ready to move on too...

    It's a shame. But I'm kind of bored not being able to play really challenging content because of *** lag. Dungeons are a cake walk even with the bugs. PVP I can one shot gank or potato tank/heal fine through lag. But these all get boring for a competitive player looking for a challenge.

    Unfortunately, any competitive open world PVP or HM trials are out of reach not because I'm incapable, but simply because I'll end up watching a slide show, or get blue screened out of my app.

    I have a feeling that when update 13 changes go live, we'll probably see another mass exodus.

    Zos had the world in their hands, and they've dropped it.

    I will private message you, ESO will delete the post otherwise as it is not relevant :)

    tried to go into Cyrodil 4 times this weekend and every time I gave up after about 30 mins- endless load screens, terrible skip frames, rubber-banded, endless load screens, invisible skills, load screens in mid fight. Can not even port to an empty keep in a half full server without 5 min load screens. I gave up. I love PvP in ESO but Cyrodil is only PvGP (Player vs Game Performance) right now.

    Hmm well that accounts for the crappy performance for those two days, what's the excuse for the poor performance the other 363 days of the last year?

    With all due respect to Brian Wheeler but my post was regarding the EU PS4 server issue and you posted regarding North American for 2 days!
    The issue I stated is that the EU server is useless all over Christmas and continuing but to be honest I really don't expect an honest reply as companies these days cannot accept defeat or admit they are ever wrong. Its their work, their job but we test it. Also most gaming companies I question the staff ablitily to actually read posts because I always get an answer that seems to be from someone elses post.
    They may test the game 'in house' but not the real world they rely on us for that. ZOS probably test under their perfect conditions and do not account for real world statistics. Listen to what people are experiencing or this game will not last much longer. If that is to happen, what a waste through pure ignorance. The issue we need is pure server power! More of them and more multiple instances. Get the CEO to give up his or her bonuses and start to spend a little.

    wazzz56, fair enough say no more.
    Just to make a point though I wasn't just talking PvP, there is noticeable rubber banding now and then across Tamriel on EU PS4. I tried Selenes Web solo in Reapers March the other day, got to Selene then it progressed to about a 2 second sync problem. Impossible to combine skills and allow for Selenes rotation. Had to abandon it as I got about 20% left on Selene, I had maxed out 100% full health and suddenly I was just dead, no I didn't get stamped on by the bear. No animation on my health bar. What I was seeing on screen was after the event, useless.
    Like I said in my first post I have 40MB down, 9MB up, 9ms ping and 200 of 200 packets tested 0%.
    If its not ZOS then I give up.

    have to agree the lag on ps4 eu is terrible, no sync in most dungeons, and just generally across tamriel doing the most mundane things there is lag.

    also ready to call it a day to be brutally honest, after housing has dropped and i see what mess were left with then, i will unsub and move on till something is done.

    as the o/p above its not my internet, 164mb down 11mb up 10ms ping that speedtest was done while writing this post.

    my question is what are the zos servers capped at? because whatever it is, its far to low.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    Spoiler
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    NOTE* I made this post about Cyrodiil since that is the only area I have been in lately but...I can attest to the lag in PvE land as well...It was a bit better yesterday, but while dueling people in Stormhaven there were a few lag spikes that disconnected some people.
