[Video] 5-15 second freezes make any competitive PvP play impossible.

React

Watch this clip, then ask me where my controller resides currently. As of summerset, this exact type of freeze or "Fps drop" has literally destroyed cyrodiil. You cannot expect to succeed in any type of outnumbered PvP if you're going to literally freeze and stand still for 5-15 seconds at a time. This is something that has been reported numerous times, but here is an excellent example of why it is so crippling. Easily something that should have been fixed day one, not weeks later in a maintenance patch (supposedly, we have yet to see this patch on console). And yet, this morning I received a Facebook sponsored post advertising "ESO's next upcoming DLC: MURKMIRE" just days after the release of summerset. Excellent resource allocation, zenimax.

EDIT: Excuse the audio desync and slight motion blur in the later part of the clip, xbox's clip editing software is butchering eso clips for some reason and I have yet to find a workaround. The freezes in the clip are all ingame freezes, not related to the actual recording.

Oh the stuttering is there, don't fret! Those are the momentary freezes occurring around and shortly after I killed the 2nd person, just before the total freeze for about 10-15 seconds. PvP in summerset is SO much fun!

Eso is nowhere near having competitive pvp. It has too many sets designed to dumb down pvp for newer, casual, and incompetent players.

The freezes are annoying though.

I'd refer to taking on groups of players by yourself and winning, competitive pvp. But to each their own!

In terms of the "game being easy for casuals", the sets are far less of an issue than the amount of CP available, and the effect that cp has on general survivability and sustain.

It's not just on console - I've been getting FPS drops and latency spikes on PC too ever since Summerset.

Do you have any way to modify your usersettings.txt on your platform? if so, set the max workers threads to 1.

If not, wait for a ZoS fix -> you're screwed

I have it in bg's most of the time and am frustrated with it. If they don't fix this soon I am taking a break from this game
