How’s The Lag These Days?

THEDKEXPERIENCE

Hey kids. It’s been awhile. For those who don’t know me, I was one of those guys who played this game like it was my job for the first few years it was out. I really did, and do still, love this game but the lag - mostly in Cyrodiil - really got to me.

Anyway, has there been an improvement in that aspect over the last 6 months? I’m surely going to look through the forums for other posts about it but I figured I’d check the temperature here in a post as well.

Thanks in advance and, no, you still can’t have my stuff!

The lag is really bad when there are coordinated groups spamming abilities - you can't even use your abilities without like 5-6 second down time between them when you get close to those groups.

But, outside of that, the latency is actually pretty good. I've been enjoying massive ~50v50 fights with pugs on both sides with good responsiveness.

That said, there were changes to the game in Summerset that were meant to address latency in PVP so the verdict is still out.

Awesome, thanks!

During my last few months of playing obsessively I pretty much just became a soloer to avoid massive lag crashes. Bridge fights and keep defenses essentially looked like modern art on my TV and then ... crash.

Ironically it wasn’t so much the lag that irritated me but the crashes right at the time when the game would be at its most awesome became infuriating.

Loads of changes landed on PC today that may help in Cyro at least. Give it a few days / weeks tp settle.and see where it lands

I’m still on the XBox. I’ll probably have to wait two weeks for the update if the pattern was the same as usual. Luckily, in the past I’ve done well implementing the PC changes to my character before the nerfs hit so I’m not losing my mind like everyone else. Usually it’s a tough 2 weeks though lol.
