Any plans to fix the lag in the Game?

I think the title says it all really, how many more years do we have to wait for this game to perform like any other game.

Never, and people will defend it due to a sense of TES loyalty. Same sort of BS happens with Destiny 2. That loyalty has and will continue to keep ESO a float.

People defend the game because lag and other performance issues are not universal but are very dependent on platform, server, and the type of content you're doing (as well as the addons you use in the case of PC players). Not everyone suffers from them.

If only some users complaining about lag was the only issue people defend...

Well, that is what this thread is about.

However, there are plenty of other issues that people have subjective opinions on based especially on their playstyle, and on any issue both sides of the argument are generally equally valid depending on the individual's experience and perspective.

Or they simply don't have the problem. That said, NO platform should be subjected to constant lag and hopefully ZMax can figure out what the cause is.

I would come back today if lag and performance was fixed. I quit at the beginning of June due to that reason, i just logged back on the forums to check to see any improvements on that issue. I guess they still arent fixing it, guess i wont be coming back.

I get texture pop-in, objects, players, and npc taking forever to laod. But rarely experience actual gameplay lag outside of Cyrodiil.

Vote with your money, the more crowns and eso plus you buy, the less they will fix because its business as usual and the money is still flowing.

Treat your money in this game as and investment.
Give them your money when its a good investments and keep or put your money else where when your investment goes bad (or untill it improves its behavior).

Waiting since 2014... But you know Crown Shop is updated more regular...

Problem with ESO is they built the game on a Engine that is not designed for MMOS. not to mention the optimization of the game is terrible. My biggest issue i have is the Network lag i can go from 50 ms to 999+ MS randomly no other game has this issue but ESO. BDO WOW you name it i can play it i will have a perfect gaming experience with no latency what so ever. But ESO pfft its all over the place some days.

at this point, i'm afraid we'll have to consider it to be a 'feature' of eso.

Define perform like any other game. Because Ive honestly never run into a game that didnt experience lag in some fashion if it was an online game. I mean, theres so many factors that go into lag to begin with. But I really dont expect you to understand that as you cant even be bothered to describe the problem youre experiencing with lag. If its actually ZOS fault, your ISP or your computer.

Its not as if ZOS isnt doing what they can to further optimize the game performance. But its not something that just gets "fixed". There are times where itll improve, and other times when it degrades due to changes. But it will never be "fixed".

Login and try for yourself first. Reading forums is fine, but you need to see if you're still affected by whatever issues you were having before.

It was top priority in 2017, as of the directors letter for 2017. The new directors letter for 2018 doesn't mention this anymore, and we'll see other priorities next year. I guess they gave up on this.
