When it comes to Connection, the Megaserver architecture is solid; I’ve rarely been disconnected, and have never encountered any latency that affected gameplay (US West Coast). However, as covered below, the biggest issue is with load screen times, and I believe that’s associated with the Megaserver shard technology queuing and moving players around.

Well i can only speak from an EU PC experience but the latency and lag is terrible, especially in PvP, but if this review is not intended for Europe then a decent write up.

It does mention crown prices only on NA, so I assume it is based on the NA server.

How the hell does Technical have more than say 2 or 3, ESO is currently one of the worst performance wise MMOs on the market right now. It's shockingly bad at the moment probably the worst in ESO lifespan so far.

That "website" is just one guy...this is the first, and the last time most of us will ever hear about it.

oh, I'm kinda slow. We can reply to this guys review in this thread, as the OP IS the one guy running that "website".

So the question is, is this just shameless self promotion, or is it something more? ....what it sure as hell is not, is an accurate review of the current state of ESO.

My 2020 review:

LAG, LAG, LAG, LAG, LAG.
Texture flicker, flicker, flicker.
Boss bug, bug, bug.

and

Nerf, nerf, nerf, nerf, nerf.

Can't forget my account saying its inactive for hours after getting booted from Cyro.

Looks like this thread is really just for self promotion.

Maybe, but that some mighty big review and might be helpful for newbies.

Though once OP gets to trading system, he enrages and loses initial informative and not-biased style and jumps to conclusion that ESO is best multiplayer game on the market. (no)

More bugs than Klendathu.

Worst latency I've had in a game since 'Quake' on dial-up.

Didnt really touch the performance issues much, pvp is unplayable due to lag, dungeons lag like crazy, i actually rage quit earlier today running dailies due to the intense lag.

I played another game with 100s of players on dial up from 2000 to 2009 and had only 100 ping.

The servers also lagged every once in a 6 months and rarely ever needed to go down for maintenance.

I remember complaining about 100 ping then because of PvP...If only I could see the future. Yes, the far and bleak future of gaming...
