Just curious to see how the game has been running for other people. For me it's been awful. I don't even feel like doing vMA or any kind of trial activity because it's pointless. I think the most frustrated I've ever been in a video game is ESO when my skills are completely unresponsive.

    for me - an oceanic/asia resident on the EU - the game has been un playable.
    when i started the pings were a steady 250. i took a holiday to europe for a week and my dps went up 10k.
    after one tamriel- the pings went progressively worse - 350-400- good enough for me to at least do malesrom= but terrible if i wanted to pvp.

    Now? after homestead my pings are 400-500 with steady spikes to 600 and more. i can't play the game anymore but to go feed my horses and do my writs. trying to figure out my next step- because this is awful. i dont know whether to start again on the NA or sit and wait/pray for a japanese server to come up....or move to europe.

    but i do hpe zos take all the money from our crowns and buys some bigger better servers cos this is by far the worst performing game right now. and thats not speculation- thats confirmed- my friend owns a gaming cafe down the road and this game spikes worse than any other, sure we're in oceania/asia- but every other game has worked out how to accommodate the most populous region on earth.

    Horrible intense lag, spikes from 250 to 999+ to drops. I lost normal dungeons to spike lags more than vet bosses. This is getting out of hand.

    the servers are just shockingly bad, get lag doing the most simple things like crafting a glyph to disconnections in pvp and long loading screens, to the point i turn it off and don't bother with it anymore.

    if its not sorted out then that's fine, its not long now till horizon is out and i can bin this game off.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    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.

    SE Asia on NA servers cause that's where I started. Typically my lag sits around 300-350, it sucks but I get it, and I can get by most content. PvP however is a different story. Kicked 5 times today in an hour! If it's a big battle there's no chance, my game will freeze.

    In Asia, normally 250-290 ping. I have been getting a bunch of weird spikes to twice that ever since that long down-time weeks ago, and I've heard similar complaints in guild and zone chat.

    i swear i think ping plays such a large role in this game - with animation cancels, bar swaps and so on- that winning a fight between two evenly matched fighters comes down to ping.

    I've had to build around the pings, have heals on both bars, spammable abilities and play classes that require less cancelling and weaving, , e.g., magplar. and can't play classes that require quick reflexes and weaving, e.g. stam NB and mag sorc.

    pls Zos- tell us a solution is coming! or at least acknowledge this as an issue that needs addressing!

    Since the homestead patch I disconnect every hour or two. However, I have had serious addon issues since then. Out of date addons like research grid messed with my in game mail something fierce, FTC caused some issues. Even after just turning off all out of date addons, I still have this issue where when I open mail It won't let me do anything until I ESC and reopen it again.

    So, my disconnects could be addon related even with updated addons.

    Steady ping, I guess .. EU PS4

    I do suffer lag sometimes..
    Alessia bridge - I refuse to go there now .. I think I'd rather ride round to Roebeck, Ash, Ales etc. to get to Sejanus than suffer that bridge !
    Nikel, Bleakers, Sejanus - when the door/wall opens, that crazy mad surge of people vying for their share of AP's .. who then die at the 2nd flag from the invisi-oil that was dropped on them when they came through the door/hole in the wall 20 seconds ago
    The odd Dolmen - someone obviously put out a 'house party' message on FB/Twitter .. & everyone turned up -.-

    Sorry I don't ever look at my ping. If I am in a large party and the zone is at heavy pop and I have been moving around doing a lot of things in a short amount of time I get d/c'd. But a restart and move to a less pop zone usually takes care of it np. And sometimes I forget to shut off my lua hogger addons. To me game seems to be running okay for how hard I push it and my pc limits. I'm near Chicago Illinois USA. Using medium internet speed Xfinity Comcast.

    Sounds like the standard of issues accompanying a new installment.. i.e. the recent addition of homestead on PC. For the entire history of ESO, thus far, as I can recall, there have always been many technical issues that have occurred for days, if not even weeks, following an installment of a DLC, festival or new contents. I'm definitely not looking forward to the issues that are pending to plaque on console when homestead is released/installed in a few days!

    Well I live on the otherside of the world to the server.. sooo 300 ping is normal for me.

    It is the spikes to 999+ as soon as I get into a fight in PVP that frustrates me.

    I have heard wisphers that it could be an effect of an addon, have ZoS considered turning off addons in PVP? I don't use any addons for pvp, there have been times when they boarder on actively cheating.
