Same here LAG is just ridiculous today,first they make a complete mess of things by giving everyone the greymoor chapter,then the servers are down for most of the day for SO-CALLED maintenance if it even exists,now the laggy game they give us,Im done.No more money from me and il also be leaving as well,totally sick of all the carry on with this game.Get the game fixed,LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS AND NOT YOUR POCKETS.Maybe when everyone starts realising how badly the playerbase are treated ZOS will if a miracle happens actually listen.
Totally agree LAG is killing the game fast. Ive been in game since March 2014 and never seen it this bad, and its been incredibly bad at times.
Cyro in particular is unplayable in its current state. Literally every encounter with more than one other player present either Loading Screens you to death or locks you into whats shown in the OP video - your toon staring blankly off into space as you mash every button on your keyboard and mouse, dam near breaking them in the process, trying to just get some kind of response from the game. Then of course there is the pure joy of watching everything catch up in super fast forward then blam!, youre dead... or disconnected (then dead).
Then of course there is the group nullifier they apparently added earlier this year. When you do get a good sized group sieging a keep and one enemy drops off the battlements then BOOM! like a proxy det bomb going off half your group is.... disconnected. You watch the group names go dark and say "Offline" and can see their characters just standing there waiting patiently to die. Unless of course you too are disconnected with them.
And let us not forget the new random Load Screens in the middle of nowhere while running and/or mounted. You can be moving along at a nice fast pace then a flash of LS across the screen and your toon hits an invisible wall. Dismounted, run speed buffs gone, flat stopped dead in your tracks, even have to re-trigger autorun and release/repress sprint after getting back on your mount. And thats miles away from combat or large population areas.
^^Thats been going on for months. Now its in pve dungeons and overland too, even solo in your house trying to parse.
Ridiculous.
