✭Regarding some post earlier: It's blatantly wrong to say lag is helping ballgroups more than the pugs they are fighting. I do agree that the lag is more bareable if you are playing a group compared to when you try to 1vX and the bigger the group the more bareable the lag gets, however in a ballgroup vs pug fight, it is way easier to win fights when it isn't lagging and the people you push just die in 1 second and aren't rubberbanding through your group not taking any damage while suddenly half your group gets rolled back 20 meters due to a meteor that hit you 10 seconds ago, while at the same time you have 10 sieges hitting you and you don't get maneuver because the guy that should cast it got stuck in a loading screen.
May I ask why you still continue to play then? If that would happen to me, ill simply log off.
You can watch sanct rage-leading on YouTube - 3 min zerg squad auction house "WAKE UP GUYS!" should make it obvious he can't "simply log off".
Mhmhmmh, good idea for a soundboard, isn't it? I'm surprised you call it rage-leading though. I'm not sure if you ever experienced leading a classroom full of kids, yelling at teammates playing a game of football or whatnot. But if you did - you would know that sometimes raising your voice and telling people to focus / get their *snip* together - has an effect on people. Mostly because it's really sudden and you don't really expect it, making the effect even bigger.
Besides, Sanct's got an emotional kind of-voice, making it surprisingly interesting to listen to. (No, I'm not a creep - I'm just a fan of voices that's got some content in'm, beyond the words they say ofc. NOT A CREEP, there's a lotof people with nice voices :^)still, i'd like to see how group play was gonna change. the biggest problem i have with ballgroups is that it's mostly about the leaders performance only and just following the individual roles takes comparatively very little individual skill. if your build is useful, you properly use your ultimate and your main spammable ability, you're like with 90% of perfect effectiveness as a normal member. as much as i'd like to play with guild/friends, this isn't really enough to keep me happy for months and months.
come take my spot for a 3h raid as a healer. I'll watch from the side and listen on teamspeak
No, raid needs its goat.Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

✭✭✭✭I can confirm that the server is unplayable from 8pm up till midnight. The load screen, terrible lag and even disconnects out of the blue are there. For example I had just captured a keep and when the color changed I just got a long loading screen and "kick due to inactivity" error when that ended. Another time my screen froze and when it recovered I had died, been rezed by someone and 1/3 of the timer was spent. Most times I just cast abilities and try to guess what and if they will hit anything. Some of them hang until I get killed - ex. char bent into staff HA unable to bar swap or cast anything while my computer beep-beeps. Ping fluctuates wildly from 100-150 to 999+ for no reason. It's pretty obvious that the server is stretched close to the breaking point. I have experienced far less problems on Sotha Sil server during the same time frame, even if all 3 factions were pop-locked there as well. Weaker hardware, dynamic pop-lock limit and/or much more intensive server side computation due to badly optimised CP formulae can play a role.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

I am not sure if this is just the game or something to do with my ISP (Virgin Media) either way it makes it a waste of time.
It was so bad I even did some PVE.
Virgin Media has been doing sporadic kicks the last couple of months.. you can tell when it is Virgin that kicked you because your guildmate from 500 miles away also gets kicked from the game and teamspeak and reconnects to ts at the same time after as well so yes, i guess some might be Virgin.. i had wondered at first what was going on until i asked the other people who their isp was and it was only people on Virgin who got kicked and not any of the other isps.
Also, i'm sorry to hear you had to do some pve and hope you feel better soon

I don't think it is blatantly wrong to say that lag is helping a group that has specific designated roles that revolve around each person doing specific abilities/actions is giving an advantage over pugs because they'll all be doing their particular role at any given time. I think it is exactly the opposite to be honest seeing as pugs don't quite do this at all.. they get picked up and they run in a group.. some pug grps don't even run teamspeak so i'm struggling to see how there can be any similarity between a ball group who run roundabout the same pool of people night in, night out with specific allocated abilities/roles. If a ball group gets lagged, surely the group's allocated abilities still work, if not a bit slower whereas pug groups don't tend to use allocated skills/roles etc so the lag will have more of an effect on their gameplay (not how they experience the lag) because they require to do a wider variety of skills/actions due to much much lower levels of organisation.
One definite exception i'll make to this is the rubberbanding with meteor you're talking about.. that's bordering on ridiculous to deal with for anyone in the game, not just ball groups or pugs Most Averagest Player EU PvP - More averager than you'll ever be.. GUARANTEED!1 -
