    No change here and I doubt if it has for anyone else.
    I'll be very interested to see if it increases by another 20-40 when Elsweyr drops.

    So sad seeing this. This is my experience too.

    It's even worse around the festival quest givers now, the server just lags out totally and dies. I can't play much of the game because of this.

    But they get all the oceanics to rage quit, then they wont have to fix anything.

    So far they are doing a good job at that.

    There must be a significant decline in Oceanic player base. Of course, they'll have the excuse that there's not enough players in the region playing the game to justify doing anything properly to fix the issue. Any wonder with the abysmal connectivity imposed by Zenimax for players in this region.

    On a positive, @ZOS_GinaBruno, I think that we should be congratulated for having 18 pages and 520 comments, without ever giving cause for a comment to be removed.
    It would still be nice though were someone to respond, even if it is just to let us know that you have an unbreakable contract with Akamai, and are aware of the pain that it is causing but are unable to legally do anything about it.

    Seems like a lot. But its still only 3/10 of a second. In reality that's a short amount of time.

    Does ping mean it takes 300 to get to me then 300 to get back?

    (Im noob when it comes to understanding ping other than I know if my ping is 300+ I notice impact on gameplay because I am hitting keys twice because I think it has not registered the first time)

    It certainly is not that for most of us. I get bar swaps of up to 5 seconds. I get skills that simply don’t go off at all. Plus the constant crashes in Cyrodiil and trials. So don’t trivialise this, it’s a serious problem and one that they’re criminally ignoring.

    It doesn't sound like much when you think its only a third of a second. Problem is its huge in game time.
    Over 300 ping means skills start to misfire, weapon swaps dont happen or happen with a few seconds delay, weaving becomes hit and miss.
    Its not just the time delay its affects how our commands register on the server too.

    Not too mention the cry of my people, 'i was f-ing out of the red' as you die to an aoe despite being 2m clear of it. There are plenty of videos showing this shenanigans.

    This cry also comes in 'i dodged that' or 'i was blocking'.

    This!!!! I hate ruining a no death run because the game decides that I am still in a one shot AOE, despite being clearly outside of it from what my screen is showing

    On xbox ive given up any hope of a flawless VMA and PVP other than BG’s. Hell on xbox NA SO is unplayable for us aussies unless we enjoy slow motion lag usually resulting in death or DC’ing. So there goes most score runs for trials. If I wasnt addicted to the game and a lack of other decent MMO’s on xbox i would have given it up a long time ago.

    Why when i went back to pc i didnt bother with eso (even though ive got it). Eso perform better as a beer coaster than a game to be honest.
    I went back to gw2 where i dont have to miss out on any content because of terrible service.

    Vote with your wallet mate, lots have made that threat before.... All oceanics need to put it into action. Why continue to give money for a subpar game experience?

    I un-subbed in December last year because of this lag issue, but it sucks to not have the craft bag :( especially when all I mostly do is crafting and farming mats.

    I also love how infectious the lag seems to be you are in a group start lagging then it settles everything is fine for 20 seconds then someone else starts lagging lmao wtf is that this then repeats its self like 3-4 times while everyone stands around wasting 30 mins for this aids to stop
