PS4/NA constant lag since Elsweyr

desndb

I've always had a bot of lag now and again (my connection is pretty slow compared to most) but it has gotten REALLY bad ever since the Elsweyr update. We're talking lag everywhere, all the time, not just in Elsweyr. Frostvault (normal) I am lagging (ok not really lagging, more like like frozen) for 10+ seconds at a time. Until I either "catch up" or get booted from the server.
My internet isn't behaving this way for anything else that requires constant connection, just ESO, so I doubt it's me.
Can I just ask...
What the heck happened?
I'm used to occasional lag (2-3 seconds) and wayshrine stutters(more like the slowest slideshow ever), but whatever is happening now is insane!
Boss/dragon health reads 56% and next thing I know is we're both dead.
Meanwhile, PSN chat is running fine and I have to rely on my friends to tell me what's happening.
They aren't lagging as much as me, but they also don't live on my side of the US...
Is it the game?
The server?
Something in between?

I love this game and want to continue doing so, bit the lag...

Is killing me (literally and figuratively).

The lag is hideous right now. It usually comes with new content, but this lag is a special kind of lag Here's what I've seen so far.

1. Falkreath: When Domihaus pulls you in and starts the lava floor mechanic, he does the animation, but you no longer get pulled next to him. You just stay in the same spot
2. Darkshade 2: The huge add fight before the last boss will reset multiple times even when nobody is out of bounds (water area)
3. Fungal Grotto 2: Vila Theran (last boss) doesn't teleport anymore. She runs in a frantic motion all over the map.
4. Tanking: You have to be inside the enemy for puncture to kind of work, and even then, it says the target is too far. Inner rage is still broken as hell.
5. The healing shade mechanic for final boss hard mode of Elden Hollow 2 is messed up. The healing shades either spawn or they don't.
6. The frame rate drop or studder movement when you land at a way-shrine has increased in time before it wears off. Sometimes it kicks in a few minutes after you land at a way-shrine.
7. Self heals are super delayed or they don't even heal at all
8. I'm having trouble light weaving light attacks with any spammable attacks. I constantly just light attack and my arm/weapon drops.

Forgot to mention the stamina bug most people in my guild are experiencing. Sprinting, blocking, and puncture is draining stamina way faster than it's supposed too.
