Worst dungeon experience ever

Imagine this:

You decide to make a healer to help the community with ques etc. You grind the best gear from dungeons, chest and arenas. You dedicate your champion points to healing. You learn how to move around in certain scenarios, learn all mechanics and keep teammates alive and buffed.

Suddenly, you can’t see your heals on the ground nor the animations. Your abilities don’t fire when you trigger them. People aren’t getting the option to take synergies, NPC’s are taking a long time to spawn in whilst others de spawn and attack from full health, you must keep your team alive against an unkillable mob and/or boss. Visual signs of attacks and associated dialogue are not showing. The NPCs are lagging and are all over the place. There’s a 50% chance you’ll get kicked from the dungeon because the servers glitch you out. Load screens. You’re constantly battling the 15 minute dungeon finder cooldown because of being unable to load back into the game. Load screens. You have to teleport back in. Load screens. Your FPS is very low. You’re on console. You’re one pledge down, two to go.

A nightmare. Truly, a nightmare.

    Sound more like a connection/server issue during that specific situation.

    Have had the issue with certain enemies being killed by group members but still looking alive to me, always takes me a few moments to realize the npc is dead and move on.

    I had a situation not too long ago, when I was doing DOM with a group, we got up to that, King boss that splits into 4 during the fight. Was the tank, the boss was invisible during the whole fight, just to me the rest of the group could see him, I could not interact with him, could see where he was due to his ability's being visible and could attack his copies but could not contribute at all to fighting that boss.

    It was a one off so far but still weird.

    Other than that usually have issues with the troll boss in frostvault not recognizing the interrupts.


    Aside from those the occasional disconnect, especially annoying when doing a pledge to lose connection only to come back find the boss dead and not have credit for it meaning you have to run the dungeon again just to kill the last boss.

    I think it's a connection issue. I'm on Xbox NA and i've beaten vet Sunspire a few times with no instances of extreme lag or anything out of the ordinary. I'm playing on wifi as well.

    Probably not what you're asking, anyhow...

    Wandering around solo I happened upon the Blackrose Prison. Curiosity got the better of me so I ventured in to have a look. There at the end of the corridor was a cage door. It was open. What harm can it do to just have a peek?

    That was a pretty bad experience :shrug:

    Daily pledges are pretty bad with lag.

    Enemy trash packs often don’t even render.

    I’ve never had this issue before.

    I'm on Xbox NA and since the last update the only problems I've had is logging in to the game sometimes my game will just crash right after the character select screen or I get an infinite load screen, Vet Hel Ra being bugged, group finder just being wonky even as a healer or tank it takes me 10+ minutes just to complete a normal pledge and outside of BGs and Cyrodill I've had no lag or connection issues even during Dragon fights in Elsywer I have no problems.

    I get all sorts of issues associated with high ping on PC NA, especially if I've been doing PvE content for a while. My ping will degrade more and more and more until I finally literally just can't play. When that happens I have to swap to RP or crafting or just stop playing for a while and eventually ESO calms its butt. I've never had performance issues this bad until Elsweyr came. Whatever it that got broke with the update really needs to get fixed.
    Character List [RP and PvE]:
    Stands-Against-Death: Argonian Magplar Healer - Crafter
    Krisiel: Redguard Stamsorc DPS - Literally crazy Werewolf, no like legit insane. She nuts
    Kiju Veran: Khajiit Stamblade DPS - Ex-Fighters Guild Suthay who likes to punch things, nicknamed Tinykat
    Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
    Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
    Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
    Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue
    Delthor Rellenar: Dunmer Magknight DPS - Sarah's ex who's a certified psychopath
    Lirawyn Calatare: Altmer Magplar Healer - Traveling performer and bard who's 101% vanilla bean
    Gondryn Beldeau: Breton Tankplar - Sarah's Mages Guild mentor and certified badass old person
    Gwendolyn Jenelle: Breton Magplar Healer - Friendly healer with a coffee addiction
    Soliril Larethian- Altmer Magblade DPS - Blind alchemist who uses animals to see and brews plagues in his spare time
    Tevril Rallenar: Dunmer Stamcro DPS - Delthor's "special" younger brother who raises small animals as friends
    Celeroth Calatare: Bosmer <insert role here> - Shapeshifting Bosmer with enough sass to fill Valenwood

    Wireless connection?

    If so make sure not contending on the wifi channel with neighbours.

    This is something players who are experiencing lag and glitches should be aware of.
    Wifi is extremely unreliable tech. I don't know how players can play mmo's over wifi. I certainly would never trust it. Especially in an apartment complex or public domain environment.

    Unfortunately, many do not have much of a choice in the matter unless they are fortunate enough to have a home that was built with an ethernet network that reaches every room.

    Agreed.
    I was looking at this situation when I moved into my latest apartment. inSSIDer reported the worst wifi collisions I'd ever seen so I bought two of those cat5 power line adapters. Loads better performance over wifi.

    I'm on PS4 and have experienced similar oddities. Mostly in Sunspire, but I chalked that up to new content. But I have seen A LOT more lag on the PVE side of things.
