How would you rate the loading times and lag of ESO with other MMOs ?

As the question states

solution, get a better server with newer hardwares, check wirings.
any outdated and faulty wires, it been going for 3 years since launched, same problems.

Loading times are not that bad, but the lag is extremely annoying.

What lag? The servers are in perfect working order...

I know I am in a minority for Australian players because I have NBN and FTTP . (The government went cheap-o and is now doing FTTN).

My latency is the same in ESO as it was in SWTOR, which are the only two MMOs I have played since immigrating here.

Perhaps time to take all that profit from the clown store and invest in some new servers? Might not be a bad idea to have the entire customer base happy again, like we were when pvping in beta.

The load times are good, but *** hell the lag. I think my average Latency is 110 - 400. I have played F2P mmos with better connections, on wow I had a 60-80 maximum.

Just keep in mind that people that complain about lag are 99% pvp players in Cyrodiil.

Server performance in eso is bad mkay, never played an mmo that had the spinning wheel of death like eso does, another reason I don't play as much as I used to sick of it.

I've never had any significant lag or loading issues in ESO, nor with any other MMOs except the odd problem with Vanguard and Anarchy Online back in the day although even then I found both games eminently playable unlike some players.

My hunch is that with ESO not doing PvP and not using any addons is a major factor in this, along with running a clean Windows 7 system and wired internet connection from the UK to the PC EU server. It may also help that I'm not in any guilds - I suspect that anything that constantly adds data loading gives a performance hit so someone running in a PvP zerg while constantly loading in trading and map addon data plus data from 5 guilds is bound to be struggling, and if you add in the fact that some of them are probably playing on the NA server from Africa, Australia, or the Middle East there's not a lot you can attribute to the server !

This is the first MMO I have played so I don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ESO lag/loading is the worse than the other MMOs I have played

I keep on getting hit by lag spikes in PvE that was not present in other MMOs that I've played. They tend to come in isolated intervals (not too often, maybe once-twice a day, but they last for 10-15 minutes) while my internet is still fine. Loading times are faster than GW2, though the loadscreen to load into your character select is awkwardly long compared to something like BDO. Still it's mostly those weird lag occurrences that made me vote this way.

+1 to lag spikes and weird temporary latency increases. I don't play PvP, but it makes even normal PvE tough.

I'm in Asia and consistently get spikes, along with generally higher than usual latency for a game of this type, especially at night (far worse than GW2, Destiny, etc.). It started shortly before Homestead and hasn't gone away despite days of troubleshooting, replacing devices and cables, reinstalling, contacting support, etc. It affects the game if I log on from other people's connections, so it's not just my Internet. It's a fun game, and I would probably spend more on Crowns or consider a sub if I could maintain a proper connection.

Lag is practically non existent in PVE areas from my experience. It is mostly Cyrodiil that lags unbelievably much, but that is when a lot is going on. Like some battle with over 60 players and siege weapons and so on.

Loading time isn't so bad, it's good most of the time. It's when there are more people online like weekends and Fridays that it loads a little slower.

ArchMikem

Isn't a lot of this due to the Engine ZOS uses? It's quite poorly optimized right?

Nothing to see here, move along.

(PC-NA) I don't know if its my location or if my ISP is superior to others, but i have never had an issue. My loading screens normally, i don't know, 10 seconds, give or take. And my latency is typically around 90-110.

I feel for you and i'm sure it must suck. If i enjoyed playing a game that was based in Australia i'm sure i would have issues too.

no problem with loading most of the times, but really annoyed about these endless or 10+min loading times.
lag however, is the worst i ever experienced in any mmo. especially in cyrodiil.

Lol you guys think ESO load times and lag is bad. Then try playing some of the other MMOs on the market.
- GW2's lag and load times are at least twice as bad as ESO's.
- BnS's lag and loading times are a little bit worst, than ESO's.
- Neverwinter's is pretty bad as well compared to ESO's.

Yes I am playing on a end PC. So the differences is huge and noticable for me.

This. Besides WoW, I wouldn't know any other MMO with better performance.

People in Neverwinter named their guilds "Server not responding" and "rubberbanding" was a common word we used daily!

It could be better, but people could also stop running in 60 men zergs.

It lags more then other mmo's I've played but all other mmo's have the population split across a lot more servers which I don't like so i think it's a worthwhile trade off. If they can find a way to fix the lag though then that would be great
