Hows your ping?

russelmmendoza

Did it went down or did not change at all.
I have read better performance in some post.
And cyrodiil is doing great even in vivec.
Can someone post their ingame ping please.

At work at the moment, I'm getting excited.

Androconium

417. Still.

It didn't change for me.

russelmmendoza

Ouch, players are saying performance has been better after patch.

Now I'm losing the excitement.

Wait, where do you live?

nanobrick

Khajiit lick their butts because his ping is very bad

leeux

Horrible as always :'(

Game constantly locks down for me and animations don't trigger properly, and sometimes I can't even swap bars... and all that without the PR raising too much... it's been a mess like that since Summerset for me and it hasn't changed with this last patch.

Also, for me, loading screens are even worse than they were before, for some reason.

Bit better, actually, 2 digits is more often.

Normal. Im getting super quick loading screens within zones or in Cyrodiil though, sometimes its so fast that I don't even realize Ive traveled lol idk if thats here to stay but its really nice. Loading screens between zones and into dungeons seem normal or just a tad longer which Im fine with. Performance seems stable but we will see how it goes on, usually after a patch its pretty good for a while. Races feel nice, Dunmers are awesome. Orcs are finally as fast as they should be. The new guild store search is amazing and having results consolidated feels like a new breath of life. Ive heard the new dungeons are awesome bu haven't tried yet. Someone was posting about how this is the thinnest DLC yet, but imo it feels like one of the best ones and Ive heard that sentiment echoed in guild chats today. It feels more like the quality vs quantity that a lot of us have been wanting.

I do feel ZOS changed its working way and did take into account some performance issue

This feels new, disturbing but also quite refreshing

Hope they keep working on it

Just keeps getting worse and worse

Yesterday afternoon (before servers taken down for patching) it was fluctuating between 267 and 300.

Now (about 26 hours later) it is between 286 and 319

Have you tried Mudfish? Ping from our side of the world is just unreliable and unfortunately hitting 300 can be any number of factors that would be actually impossible to figure out.

CH77

I haven't tried mudfish - I'll take a look into it - have you heard of it having better results?

As erratic as hell

I've used Mudfish and WTFast, and they both have a sizable effect but my ping without VPNs on West Coast sits at 350 minimum so I'm not sure how it'll affect you. Before Akamai mine used to sit at 280 and I would have login issues trying to use Mudfish. The site has a trial you can use to see if it works first, so I'd try that out and see how it goes.

CH77

Thanks - about to try it out now.
It's a bit confusing... do I need to choose a node?

Pretty sure you can have it pick the node for you through basic mode. I've been using WTFast for a year so might need Vapir's thoughts on that but it should choose one for you.

k - doesn't seem to be any change tbh - thanks tho, worth trying

mocap

80-100 stable with rare 999+ spike

Good thing I'm using my mobile and not the Satellite. That one's measured as two full seconds, which is strange, when light travels through the atmosphere faster that it travels through routers. Clearly, I'm stupid.

I used to live in Gunghalin, FTTH, my ping was never that good. What ISP?

CH77

I’m with Aussie Broadband.
Palmerston - just down the road from Gungahlin

mairwen85

Bit of a personal question(!) -- certainly not the sort of thing to ask a lady...

AzraelKrieg

Ping still the same. General game performance is better though

r34lian

Been better for me after patch I play from india with ~300ish ping used to dc most of the time when entering combat but after this patch seems stable.

CH77

@uFuqinwitme - I've been playing around with Mudfish and have managed to get it set up so I get a PR fluctuating between 250 and 287 which is much better.
I remember the days when that was normal PR without using a VPN!

So what is Mudfish doing exactly? I'm guessing it's re-routing the traffic in such a way that it doesn't go through this Akamai thing I hear so much about...?

Raevyness

WORST.

Plain and simple. Previous to the update was pulling 280ms-320ms MOST. Now Im playing 310-380 average MS.

They're slowly pinging us Aussies OUT OF ESO altogether.

DragonHeart000

~130 stable, didn't change from the update.

Tannus15

Good for me (Melbourne)
At times was as low as 250's

ruengdet2515

ping 200, 300, sometime 2000, 3000
but almost 300

Sylvermynx

Mine's never going to be less that 2000 ms +. Satellite.... ain't changin'....

veil_

PC EU.

Some times during the day its 60, but in dungeons and trials its 100+
Cyro is well, cyro.

Thats good to hear man, what did you do to get that performance? Would love to see if it has a similar effect on mine. I agree I used to get 250-290 but those days are long gone.

I think thats what it does yeah, it seems to suppress a delay when it passes onto the servers in the US, since the normal path appears to mess around in Asia before getting to the servers. I have absolutely no idea what VPNs do to counter-vent this but they do it well. Its just unfortunate that we're forced to pay for a service to return to a time before we were stuck in this vicious cycle of Zos "blaming" Akamai for the lag, Akamai "blaming" Zos and then nothing being done about it.
